"So many amazing Forgers have just given up" — Halo Infinite just lost its best Forge creators over lack of support
This is sad. I was a Halo fanatic. I read every book. I owned a three foot metal energy sword for god’s sake. Watching 343 waffle on what the hell to do on the game side has been frustrating. They had plenty of bright spots in their games (I actually liked warzone in halo 5…) but they lacked vision and conviction in the storytelling that I think really contributed to the fan exodus.
I hope they can turn things around with their new name and new leadership, but I’m not holding my breath.
They don't have it. They keep trying to escalate in a setting that already has the strongest opponent you can have without going entirely off the rails and they refuse to commit to anything.
Yeah, Halo 3 wrote them into a corner.
Still, they could have creatively 'reset' the scope. Focus on a frontier story, a prequel, some kind of cataclysm, probably reset a lot of characters. Even if they lost the silent-chief 'feel' of the trilogy, the tone change would have been excused (like Reach to an extent).
Infinite tried this, I guess, but they hauled over too much baggage from previous games and lore.
Honestly, if I were in charge of Halo I'm not sure what I'd do now... As I'm sure 'make Halo Infinite multiplayer only, kill any semblance of story there, f that wierd stuff in the novels and start over with a narrower setting' would get shot down.
As someone who works in metal fabrication, thank you for the idea!
