Ranting About How 343 Destroyed Halo

Due to a lot of requests for this and at the time lacking another clip to upload (as well as the fact that someone took the time to timestamp all the moments I talked about it in the last stream), I’ve decided to put together the Halo rant for your enjoyment, which should be a bit of a fun since EFAP’s coverage of Halo Season 2 should be coming soon. However, I do want to stress that I will not be regularly putting clips from my bi-weekly live streams here, as this channel is dedicated to EFAP content. In the future, if there are more requests for clips from my personal streams, I'll make another channel to upload those to so as not to confuse or clutter the channel. In the meantime, I'm hard at work polishing up new clips, and the regular schedule will resume this Sunday!

I think we can all agree that it's a good thing Sergeant Johnson died in Halo 3 so that 343 couldnt ruin his character.

343 is now 3 for 3 with failed games

The 343 trilogy is almost as incoherent and contradictory as the Star Wars sequels

Halo 3 managed to compete against CoD 4, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops at the same time and still came out on top. What a giant fucking impact it had.

Also never forget: - Death of Rookie in random book - Black Team getting the worst deaths in a random comic - Character assissination of Cortana in Halo 5 and Infinite - The tv show

Halo Infinite felt like it was directed by J.J. Abrams. Constantly teasing at a story in the making, without ever providing one in the present. Thank you Wolf, for finally saying what no one else will dare to say.

You are not being too negative. You are being appropriately negative. You're not responsible for 343 putting you in the position to have to say these things BUT THESE THINGS NEED TO BE SAID. BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING THIS WAY.

The best possible thing I can say about 343 is that they simply seem incompetent, rather than malicious, unlike so many others who ruin once beloved IP’s.

Didn't they also say The Endless were supposed to be worse then the Flood? They seemed to forget that the Flood was so bad that the Forerunners built the Halo rings to wipe out all life that could be eaten by the Flood. So you expect me to believe there's something worse now?

Don't forget Halo 5 was the one that included microtransactions "single use item packs" that literally made the multiplayer pay to win.

Halo and Star Wars were my childhood. Thanks to Disney and 343i, I've completely lost interest in both franchises.

Every time I hear about modern Halo, it makes me glad I stopped buying Halo games after Reach. Just couldn't muster the interest and it seems like I lucked out.

“Do not blame the developers, only blame management and corporations,” is the same flavour as the statement as “do not blame writers and creatives, blame studios.” In reality, neither is eternally fallible pr infallible. This theory of labour is so strange. I understand being pro-writer or pro-development (fair pay, working against harassment in places such as Activision, etc.) but beyond that, it becomes sycophantic.

I will never forgive 343 for what they've done. I highly recommend checking out We WERE Forerunner by c3 Sabertooth. Guy does a lot of research and really breaks down exactly how not only 343 fucked over the lore of humans being forerunner, but how Frank specifically made sure to piss on everything he was given. Guy was an incompetent hack, and it's shameful he was ever even considered for the position. It shows clear Microsoft never gave a shit, and was hoping to simply milk the golden cow dry.

Your feelings toward Halo are exactly how my friends and I feel. We were die hard Halo fans during the Bungie era, and now, we're completely apathetic towards it because of 343s mishandling of the franchise. During the MCC debacle, there was a review I saw that put it best: "343 didn't earn this, and that's why they don't give a shit."

If Helldivers2 ever comes to xbox... the halo population that currently exists would get even smaller..

The fact that all of Infinite is one biome is infuriating, I honestly couldn't believe how devoid of anything that world was.

"Stop hitting it! It's already dead!"

We’re now making highlights of the highlights, how advanced! Hope you’re doing well, Wo- Mr. EFAP Highlights man!
