Imagine spending the money to get movie/tv rights for this franchise... And then doing that with it. WTF
It legitimately boggles the mind how out of sync the owners of the Halo IP are with its fans. 343 and Microsoft have had over a decade to figure it out and it's been a shitshow every time.
Halo 4 was okay, nothing really groundbreaking
Halo CE Anniversary was just Halo 1 with a texture pack
Halo 5 doesn't interest me at all, it straight up doesn't feel like a Halo game
MCC was completely broken at launch, and while it's good today it's just the original Bungie games with some hacks to get them working on modern PCs
Halo Infinite's development was a shit show and it seems they've forgotten about the campaign cliffhanger as well as a bunch of unanswered questions
And then they put out this TV show with just weird writing even outside the context of the Halo universe. I used to buy Xbox solely because of Halo, but now the franchise just feels like it's dead in the water.
