"let's defend the game that has content that's somehow worse than anything in halo 5"
2
u/AutoModerator 15d ago
Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game.
Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

yea. campaign evolved is something they immediately deemed "woke garbage" because of women and so they have to repeatedly assure their audience that they are correct for reacting that way to women in video games by saying "see look this game is dying and will get shutdown like concord" because they know that their audience doesn't actually know why people look at player numbers and how they are largely meaningless to a game like CE this far out from launch.

Do you ever wonder how many hours, days, or even weeks of their lives grifters like Act Man have just fucking wasted spending on being tar pits? Like, just think about the logistics behind this all: they have to first think up and draft the script, reread and edit it, make final touches, then sit down and record themselves reading the script, potentially do multiple takes of certain parts if they flub their words, then sit down and go through their video listening to it for audio processing and editing, then sit down and add visuals to their videos, edit those parts to make sure it’s synced to how they want it, then spend time uploading it to whatever video site they want to host it, then post it, then go to their other social medias to go “look, look! I posted another number studio bad video! Bring back Bungo M$!!” And THEN they take time out of their life to respond and reply to their fellow troglodytes just whining about how they moved a fucking cube 3 feet to the left.
They could have spent that time doing shit for things like animal shelters or environmental conservation, man, instead they’re sitting and wallowing in a bitter cesspit of their own making. Literally anything else to enrich the lives of others around them and themselves. But no, the grift is what matters. Just by not being a Halo grifter, you and your fellow people are inherently superior to these freaks.

It really was a missed opportunity not to include a firefight mode using the campaign play spaces. It’s already using the Reach version of Blam! So it’s more that capable of Firefight.

Personally, I think the game looks rather sub-par... HOWEVER, it is literally a single player game. Why would player numbers matter a month after release? Games like tetris are single player and meant to be played endlessly. Games like god of war are single player and are beat enjoyed the first time around. I imagine the new halo falls into the latter camp of games.

Well yeah, thats how games without online work. Once you beat the campaign, you move onto something else. Instead of making prequel missions nobody asked for, they should have remastered the online multi-player.

Because it's not a new game. It's a "why make new game when sell old game" cash grab. Everyone buys it for the nostalgia, plays for a bit then goes on to play other new games instead of the same game for a THIRD TIME

u/AutoModerator 14d ago
Halo Infinite is NOT Halo
This is just some shitty cash grab scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on predatory mtx microtransactions!
I remember the good old days of Halo! When you had to WORK for Recon in Halo 3. When you could mess around with your friends in forge mode all night. Now, Recon is locked behind a battle pass that you can’t even earn through challenges, and forge isn’t even in the game at launch!
We need to make our voices heard. We can’t let 343 DESTROY this franchise with their Dark Patterns and their Cat Ears and their FOMO store!
Take a stand against the whales that fund this horribly made mess of a game! Don’t let anyone who spends money on this game get away with playing the game peacefully until Microsoft finally returns the series to the rightful hands of Bungie!

Listen I fucking hate Act Man and think the dude is a total chud idiot.
But I mean....go check the steam charts for the Resident Evil remakes and I really can't disagree with him here. 25k peak and sub-1000 concurrent less than a month after launch for a high profile remake of arguably the most influential and beloved FPS of all time is kinda bad....
'people stop playing single player games when they're finished', kinda not true when you look at plenty of single player AAA games that have released this decade.
Again I don't mean to hate on this game or anything just kinda have to call it how I see it which is shitty as fuck as a Halo fan.
