“peaked with bungie, been downhill since 343 took over”
YouTube is full of people saying 343i changed core story elements that made Halo special under Bungie, turning military sci-fi into generic sci-fi. Reddit users are finishing campaigns once instead of replaying on Legendary like they used to, which is apparently a first for longtime fans. The consensus is that 343 were fans of their own version of Halo, not what came before. basically Microsoft handed the franchise to people who wanted to remake it instead of continue it.

“Halo under Bungie was a Military Sci-fi. Halo under 343i/HS is just straight Sci-fi. That might seem like a small, quibbling distinction but it entirely changes the focus and feeling of the end product”

what's working

  • The game world design and lore create an immersive experience that makes players feel part of the universe
  • The combat and gameplay experience improved significantly in later seasons with better tuning and more of what fans wanted to see
  • The visual design of creatures and environments, such as the scarab design, demonstrates excellent artistic direction and attention to detail

what's not

  • The gameplay experience became repetitive and the open world design detracted from the experience rather than enhancing it
  • The campaign lacks replayability compared to previous entries in the series, with no desire to replay after completion even on lower difficulties
  • The core feeling and focus of the experience changed significantly between developers, shifting from military sci-fi to straight sci-fi in ways that diminished the original vision
