Bonnie Ross, 343 Industries’ general manager, has recently revealed that, upon the studio’s establishment 7 years ago, her longstanding goal was (and still is) to keep Microsoft’s beloved Halo franchise running for at least 30 more years.
For the sake of context – 343 Industries was formed back in 2007 and the Halo franchise debuted in 2001, so going by Ross’ words, Microsoft and 343i expect gamers to keep playing Halo games until 2037… at least.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
This Was the first thing that came to my mind when I Saw the title

Ms should let 343i create their own ip & let Halo have a 10 year rest. To me halo no longer holds value, halo is not the beast it used to be.
Count me out lol
There would be no cows left in the world by then..
What's porridge oats without -> milk?
a series can def go on for this long if they release on a good time table and do not oversaturate themselves. Halo has been around a while now and feels less saturated than Assassins creed series which has been milked to death and shoved at us twice a year. for me as a fan of 1,2 and ACB this has ruined the series for me as there have just been too many games and im not bothered to catchup when i fell behind at all.
Glad im retiring from gaming soon.
