I remember the first time I experienced Halo. I was a kid that liked Nintendo games and pc games and didn't care much for fps games. Then I went to my friends house and his brother got this new system called a Xbox which I didn't hear much about and they were playing a game called Halo. We all took turns playing coop on it and it was the first game that really introduced me to the genre. Being able to play co-op with others beating the aliens that invaded our planet. I did eventually buy it for PC and it was amazing. Seeing the Halo ring for the first time was nothing like I have seen before. Seeing the flood for the first time scared the shat out of me back then. I could go on and on but it's quite the shame where this franchise ended up. It was going downhill even before 343 took the helm but they really took the core aspects out of the game let alone the characters and such. I really do hope that MS finds a new home for Halo cause the name once was seen as the flagship game of Xbox. But these days, it's just another brick in the wall so to speak.

Yeah I heard last night that SE is being super picky with the ppl they are giving the codes to, which is possibly the biggest red flag of them all. Game is going to be absolutely atrocious on PC, I can see it so easily.
As for 343, I honestly never saw them as the perfect fit for carrying on Halo's legacy, mostly because ever since MS took them on board, the studio started fucking around with the game's lore, and it also didn't help that they warped visuals of the lore itself as well (like the Forerunner tech being massively changed to look non identical to 1's interpretation).
Overseas dev doesn't exactly spark confidence in me though, since it means the lore could be fractured even more, or hell, more retcons, because we totally want more of those at this point.
