Unironically the opposite of what happened with most shooters. People talk about the tournament potential of 2 and 3 except the real sweaty halo games are 4 and 5, which a lot less people want to play. The gold mine audience was the big team battle normies the whole time.

Cry about it. The important changes are mechanics.

You're right. Tung tung sahur brainrot roblox is better

Bungie was run by a colossal faggot who wanted to stop after Halo 1 so Bungie wouldn't become "the Halo company". In reality he wanted to become "the Destiny company" which leeched the talent out of MS then squandered it anyway, ended up 1000x worse than just making more good Halo games. He wanted to own more of the IP to sell out more of the IP.

MS isn't guiltless because they enabled 343i but there's a non-zero chance they would have ended up bag-holding like Sony if they invested in Bungie.
