Halo was a legit competitor to cod just past a decade ago.

Now you can’t even compare them because COD is bigger than ever while halo is a shadow of its former self.

Infinite really could have been a partial comeback for halo if they had a steady stream of content after launch, but somehow they added even less than most non-live service games.

ID software (makers of doom), would make a halo game better than anything 343 could put out.

The single player on rails experience is desperately needed.

In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.

At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.

They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.

People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.

Man this game is such a joke.

I personally voted to allow memes for the sake of growing this place quickly but I’m happy with the result. The number of votes shows that we probably already have enough active users to create meaningful discussions.

I think that would qualify as a meme though ;).

I’m sorry to burst your bubble 😅.

Rather than try to explain it myself, here’s a post from someone else that does a decent job: https://www.maketecheasier.com/how-progress-bars-work/

For all the hate COD gets, the new one is honestly great for someone who hasn’t played in around a decade.

I could do without the silly skins, but I guess that’s what sells these days.

I’ve never heard of them or any of those games. Are they good?

To the surprise of absolutely nobody….

Loading bars anywhere are an approximation at best.

To encourage growth, I say yes.

Once we have a ton of users that can keep a discussion going drop the memes and let this become like the Reddit games sub.

Will that android technique work on IOS too?

Edit: nvm Apple blocks Firefox extensions, curse you Apple.
