Gameumentary: The news that there will be no mainline Halo entry this year may be disappointing to some, but I think it’s a great opportunity for Microsoft to work on shifting their branding away from franchises that lack the same luster they once held.
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
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
I wanted to see halo 6 but I'm in no rush. I agree with no halo or gears at e3 this give ME the opportunity to show off new games and franchises this year. Hopefully they show a new crimson skies, all the request for that game they just have to be working on it.
So... Not having any big name releases to go with the launch of your new console is a good thing... gotcha.

It's possible they're bluffing and do show something Gears or Halo related.
Halo did come out this year. Didn't Halo Wars 2 come out 2 months ago? If you want to say "no Halo/ Gears for the holday season", then that's fine. But the Halo brand already came this year with Halo Wars 2
My guess:
They want Crackdown 3 to have all the spotlight this E3, it will be the game they promised it to be and market the sht out of it. Plus Sea of Thieves, if done right, can be the next big Streaming Game like Player Unknowns Battlegrounds is right now. It takes the parts out of PULSAR that are fun like a crew working together and everyone having a role and mixes it with Pirates and MMO features.
State of Decay 2 also is on track to be another successful Survival game with the polish, most of those games are missing. Coming out with a solid Zombie Survival Game with MP that isn't bug filled is a HUGE win.
Plus new announcements that want that are fighting for their own spotlight.
At least trolls can't say all we see is Gears and Halo this E3.
