>one of the most influential IPs of all time>now reduced to a dead f2p gameunironically, what went wrong?
>>721751047Same thing that went wrong with GoldenEye 007, it sucked at the time, but it's all we had.

>>721751047>343i was already plagued with horrific mismanagement every step of the way because retards like Frank O'Connor wanted to claim to be a big visionary but no one had the capability to keep their shit together>tried to ape Call of Duty and it failed>tried to ape Advanced Warfare but failed>completely change the entire series direction in a way that alienates veteran fans>have all your ~lore~ be stuck in tons of books, comics and short film spinoff shit instead of in the games so anyone that plays campaigns get nonsensical plot dumps and characters that come out of the woodwork with no context>launch two separate fucking games without Forge and one of them without any co-op at all at launch, plus Theater got abandoned entirely>lootboxes in 5, followed by overpriced and horrific cosmetic MTX mismanagement in Infinite>still using the Blam engine even under that Slipspace varnish shine, but bled all your competent talent dry so a ton of college nobodies stuck on 18-month contractor jobs have to learn your proprietary engine and how other people work it, and leave before they can really do much else>have such poor narrative vision that the entire H5 advertising campaign meant nothing because it was for an abandoned earlier concept of the story in favor of yandere Cortana and Locke's Avengers S4 team>tried to turn Infinite into Far Cry before Stratton got thrown on-deck to try to salvage what he could, and still got a bare minimum game with a pointless open world>MCC should've been a wonderful celebration of the franchise but got so poorly outsourced that it was a broken and utter disaster>fix MCC years later, albeit with some notable lingering bugs, and then cut all support, even from the fans willingly working on it, because people refused to be slapped with retroactive microtransactions on the damn thing>rebrand from a series villain name to "Halo Studios", proclaim they got rid of bad management, we'll do good reallyI dunno, you tell me.

>>721751047Your series was always going this direction since it wanted to be "popular" along with moving away from classic style FPSs for a more tactical FPS, so it needed to evolve as the hybrid it was. Be happy that the future Halo games will be a hybrid of UE5 mixed with Halo Reach era blam!.
