Re: One hour of Halo 5 (beta) MP footage

In Response To: Re: One hour of Halo 5 (beta) MP footage (Frankie)

Frankie, I know you personally are fond of us. Thanks for showing up to remind everyone, too. <3

And I'm not even saying I wish the higher-ups gave more weight to our stupid microcosm here. I'm just expressing an old-person style rant that I miss "the good ol' days." See, this whole thing isn't really about responding to fan feedback. I don't want to make any unsubstantiated claims (but I will anyway) but, when Bungie was the showrunner, it always felt like we were playing something with a bold idea behind it. Bungie seemed to always know exactly what they wanted Halo to be. Or at least what they wanted it to NOT be. I don't get the same vibe from 343's design. Halo is now looking like an amalgamation of so much other stuff, I can't find its soul.

And, seriously, I don't think this problem is anyone's particular fault. It's just a lack of a cohesive, studio-wide vision. Everyone at 343 is a Halo fan, and everyone there loves something different about Halo. And the thing with fan films or fan fiction, they almost never understand what made the original work so well. Instead they rely on references to the original, or in copying the form of the original while forgetting the function.

I know it sounds insulting to call 343's work "Halo fan fiction" but I don't mean it to be insulting. I just think it's the clearest way to explain it. I simply don't see what's left of Halo when I play Halo 4 MP or watch this Polygon video. I don't get what the vision of Halo is supposed to be from these things. We can talk all day about what Bungie did right and what they did wrong with Halo but, at the end of the day, they were always bold about it. Bungie gave Halo a distinctive voice and 343's Halo just feels like an impersonation.

Again, I really can't and don't want to say anyone in particular is at fault here. I just think it's a too many cooks situation.

oh man i seriously hope making these critical posts doesn't blacklist me from working at 343. frankie here is my resume:
character animation
LAMP web dev
plz dont blacklist plz hire
