: We were discussing this in the discord, but I guess I was just blind to the
: growing resentment of Frankie. It's so weird to me because I always
: considered him one of the good ones. I wrote "He was always good to
: us (HBO). Hanging out, giving us Beta/DLC codes... You can't question how
: much he loved Halo. He dropped everything to join Bungie pre-H2, then
: chose Halo when Bungie left MS. Then during the dark days of the H5 era,
: he was on MCC all the time. It just doesn't make sense. Having a hard time
: reconciling these things."

I think it was sometime before Halo 4 shipped that Frankie made some statement about his hiring of people that " Hated, X" in the previous Halo games. Well, he succeeded because Halo went downhill after 343 was given the Halo franchise. Have you ever sat down and listened to the way he speaks in interviews, it's like listening to politicians, he says a lot of words but actually says nothing....not to mention the ridiculous excuses from him and all the leadership at 343.

Halo Infinite was delivered from 343 Industries as a dead-on-arrival game...and they knew this. 500+million dollars dumped right down the drain, not to mention the brand new studio Microsoft built for them.

If Microsoft wants to resurrect this nearly dead franchise, they should give it back to Bungie and let Bungie create a team inside their studio dedicated to Halo. Have you noticed the amount of attention Halo is getting from the modding community. A lot of these people really seem to still love the Halo games that Bungie created. They want an outlet to keep playing the Halo games and a lot of the modded content is quite well done and fun to experience. This is what is wrong with the 343 Industries Halo games, they are not fun to play. I still play the original Halo CE game for the PC. Just today I ran through AOTCR, 343 Guilty Spark, The Library and Two Betrayals using my Homing Plasma Grenades from the Assault Rifle and my modded Needler in these maps. It fun to experience and play with my silly mods. I can't remember the last time I played the Halo 4 and Halo 5 campaigns, and I haven't played Halo Infinite for several weeks.

But now the resources at 343 are dedicated to the "Dress Up Sally" storefront. Very sad.
