Wow I'm so thankful to be treated like a person. Round of applause for them to be treating people like they should be. (Sarcasm folks)
As much as I love Halo ever since 343 took over it's been dogcrap. So not really excited. Heck even the MCC which was bungie stuff too they also f* up with the terrible amount of bugs and whatnot.

I'm not sure 343 are that bad, their Reach content was fairly good and while Halo 4 felt like a step down in many aspects it was still a decent game, and my biggest gripe with 5 was the lack of split screen (Though didn't really play it that much because of this). If Halo:Infinity deals with the lack of content (Especially Forge) & modes of the previous two games I can see it being a massive hit. The main areas holding back 4, 5 & MCC were the issues with getting the old engine working smoothly(Low performance is why there was no split screen), so the switch to a new engine is promising.

Halo Reach was Bungie. That's why it was good. Lol
Everything after that was boring. Halo 5 was truly the worst Halo ever and will probably never change. The worst marketing ever and the marketing had only 5% to do with the actual campaign. Outside of that the campaign was 10 missions for like what 4-6 hours depending on how fast/slow you went. No depth, crap voice acting, bad story plot, etc.
MCC was horrible and still is a bug ridden mess. It's not a new engine either. Just updated. Like most engines are in between titles.
The whole reason Halo has stopped becoming the defacto Xbox Exclusive game is all because 343 has ruined it. Sad but true. It's not even mentioned anymore when talking about exclusives to play for either console simply because it's not good, which says a lot about Xbox because they have so few to begin with.
Halo 3 is still one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. Easily a top 5 game all time for me

Interesting, don't see it but that doesn't really provide much about Halo and how there track record is bleak and gives little hope to succeed.
I don't dislike Halo. I just dislike what they've done with it since taking over.

Yeahh though 343 had taken over for the final post-launch content packs.
Yeah I meant the new engine with regards to Halo: Infinite, MCC was a mess mostly because it used direct ports of original engines(Running simultaneously with a newer rendering engine on 1 & 2) for compatibility with original code/content. Halo 4 and 5's biggest issues came down to the engines limited performance on the X360's dated and Xbone's meager hardware for me personally(Like limited/lack of split screen)
@NBD Some of your messages read like Donald Trump's tweets.
Very much so.
There was nothing wrong with the 343 series of Halo games. They were great games and very enjoyable. It is just the WHINERS that say otherwise.

Having to use Windows Store doesn't make me feel like a first class citizen.

Don't know a single person that says it was good and neither is the popular opinion that they were good. I stated my opinion earlier and you guys disagree. Only whining is the people who said my opinion was wrong because it didn't agree with a different opinion. You could even rate the best 3 halo games, none would be a 343 developed title. Halo 2/3/Reach.

I'll believe it when I see it, MS so far have treated their customers like idiots.

Maybe not on the whole but when it comes to "we want to do better for gamers" they keep saying this and their Windows gaming community/customers are treated like 3rd class citizens.
I watched a video a while ago from a Linux developer who used to work for I think it was Bioware, And he said one of the biggest hurdles is getting Windows to play nice, This process could be made so much easier if MS would work with game developers to really give developers down to the metal support.

MS has done a lot of open source work recently and even made using MS software on Mac/Linux(mostly Linux at this time). The infastructure is being laid down and hopefully they'll continue to improve UWP and the Store to have less restrictions.
Yeah the recent preview of .Net core 3 (Cross platform variant of the .Net Framework used for most windows applications/apps) adds most of the functionality of the Framework so developing cross-platform applications on a full MS/Windows stack is going to be possible quite soon. If Vulkan starts to gain in popularity I think there's a chance we could see DX12 eventually make the jump too, and now Edge is based on Chromium I wouldn't be surprised if that went the same way.
