From what i heard Infinite was the closest the studio actually got to replicating Bungie's rock solid engine, they just then started pandering super hard to the live service model, nerfing shit for comp and then delaying content
The fact theyve been named after the series for twelve years and still havent been able to improve on Bungie's work is frankly laughable

They fell for the live service model

Whats funny is the thing with live service games is you can never compete with the sheer glutt of content legacy live services have, so trying to compete in that field at all is stupid
In terms of MP live services Fortnite is still king, followed by maybe Apex and OW2 then TF2. All of those have been around for at least half a decade
In terms of singleplayer live services the only one even moderately successful is Hitman, which just built up goodwill over time. It doesnt need to be a live service in order to function
Multiplayer games should have legs but delaying content to dripfeed it means youre going to look sparse with your three maps on launch compared to the hundreds the legacy titles have

Yeah going up against those titans in the live service shooter space is a waste of time since it's impossible to compete with the sheer momentum they've built up over the better part of the last decade, their players have no reason to jump over and play your game. The Halo fanbase is also old and grew up playing games before microtransactions, so their players have an extremely hostile attitude towards them and are very reluctant to spend any money. If you want live service slop, you're better off targeting a niche demographic and trying to develop a small core audience who will spend money, Sea of Thieves (soys and foids) and Genshin Impact (weeb coomers), rather than going the Fortnite route where sheer numbers are the money maker.

Timesplitters was a funny example of this failing because TS4 was going to be a Fortnite clone, but really a MCC version of Timesplitters would have been a way smarter route. The formula is so modular you could just insert new levels whenever you like and the fact its not about competitive means you could have stuck in anything. But like r-slurs they made it a Battle Royale TPS

Timesplitters is also an old franchise with a large legacy fanbase with extreme hostility to microtansactions so they'd be restricted to making money off of game sales. The Halo community had an uproar when 343 floated the idea of putting microtransactions in MCC, to the extent the idea got shelved. Microsoft and other big publishers don't seem to be interested in just making money, it has to be live service tier frick you money or they mostly can't be bothered. If you read between the lines of some interviews with high up 343 people, they basically say the fans are holding them back from being able to turn it into fortnite, live service, lowest common denominator slopfest.

here's 343's community manager admitting the only reason they're changing the name is to hamstring and convolute criticism at their abysmal handling of the franchise
also their video is laughable, same bottle job scum who've spent the last decade murdering the franchise
ummm no
Half Life 2 came out the same year as Halo 2 and smoked it graphically, 2007 was Crysis and Halo 3, same thing. 343 are going to burn another 500 million and 6 years pooping out some ultra realistic looking tech demo soy nonsense with washed art direction, leading the old games to still hold up better, and still have sprint in the game, mid gameplay and no content at launch.
some r-slur at 343 recorded and edited this video to exemplify how for real this time they've definitely changed, and the idiot fans still dumb enough to enjoy this franchise, are in the comments and immediately dunking on them pointing this out, I really can't think of a developer that is this out of touch with the franchise they work on

Part of me thinks improving graphics are the death of video games. Companies spend way too much time and money worrying about how the game looks compared to how it plays, when in the end, most people would rather play an ugly, fun game rather than a pretty, boring one.

In retrospect, Halo 3 was sort of archaic by 2007 standards. What it had was that it was just absolutely rock solid, good physics, everything about it just worked, and it made the most of simple mechanics and gameplay that was super customizable and offered a ton of different modes. It's sort of the opposite of every modern game in that way, which is why they will make utter slop forever and won't recapture why Halo 3 was so magical- it really was the swan song of the 90s era shooter

Yeah 2007 also had COD 4, Bioshock, Butt Creed and Uncharted which all were more graphically impressive, Halo 3 made up for that with its art style, which still looks great today. I feel like I'm going crazy reading their press release and watching that video hearing them bragging about how graphically impressive the tech demo is - and it isn't even that good
Look at these pictures and tell me I'm 
the Halo picture is from their press release and the RDR 2 screenshots, a fully playable last gen game from 2018, are mine from playing it at launch on a PS4 Pro.

At the time, I never understood why my friends were so much better at video games. I'm super competitive and it pissed me the frick off. But I had a car and a girlfriend and played multiple varsity sports so maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on myself

I've just realized I'm bad at videogames.
But I have a house, a career, 2 cars, actual hobbies and several hundred grand in brokerages and my friends who are good at videogames love with their parents and are broke man children.

I don't believe they would make it work. No skin off my back, since I only play until Halo Reach.
