    My hill to die on: 343’s bungling of the MCC was one of the biggest daggers to Microsoft trying to catch up to Sony. Halo has never been the same since.

      I have touched MCC is forever but I’ve heard it’s made a pretty good turn around nowadays.

        Its made a very large improvement since launch, considering it now mostly works correctly. Its still bot perfect, but in all honesty it should never have even got to this point. Where it is now is how it should have launched.

          Very true. Did they ever say why they rushed it out the door in the state it was in?

            Not officially, no, but I guarantee you the answer is money.

            One word: Bonnie Ross

            343 was plagued by just awful leadership for ages. They’ve always have talented devs (just look at the latest MCC update!) but their “follow the leader” approach to the series’ growth, coupled with a pattern of putting making cash over releasing a great game, was a losing strategy from the start. Good riddance to those folks.

              Making cash is always the down fall of a good game. If you don’t give it time to bake it’s going to be crap.

    I think halo 1 through to reach was the perfect storm. The right team members assembling at the right time.

    A once in a blue moon occurrence that we were lucky to have.

    After the past decade or so I don’t have much faith in the series. I kind of enjoyed halo 5s multiplayer for a time, but that was about it. I really hope that the right group of people can revive the series one day

      Halo 3 warthog race at the end will forever be in my nostalgia memory banks.
