> Still insane they dumped this game after promising like eternal DLC additions. They couldn't even make one DLC. This might be the most singularly pathetic attempt by Microsoft to revive Halo.

It’s shocking also because a) the reception to Halo Infinite was largely positive upon release and b) wider media reporting highlighted how miraculous it was that 343 had recovered from the disastrous 2020 demo. I recall a particular Blooomberg Businessweek write-up on the recovery effort being quite impressive.

But with a few years of hindsight you wonder if so many technical compromises had to be made to get the game out the door that it made future DLC unexpectedly problematic.

Never mind an element I hadn’t considered until today - how should Halo compete in a post-Fortnite world? https://www.howtogeek.com/halo-infinite-is-almost-dead-heres-where-microsofts-flagship-shooter-went-wrong
