The Bethesda buyout/gamepass stuff was def plan B. We were supposed to be getting non-stop halo footage and promotional stuff (7-11 slurpee cups) but the memes really spoke this out of existence.

Oh yeah, the proof...

Never saw a game console come with a game featured on the box with no game in sight. :dwillhuh:

I’m not sure if you know this but

Series X is the more powerful system

Gears 5 is free

all you have is DLC’s and remakes, Xbox doesn’t have anything but we don’t need it, PS5 is a monstrosity.

:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol: but but but gamepass tho....

Trust in phil guys, he always comes through for us

Halo would have been the one two punch they needed. By the time it drops no one will give a fukk about it especially with the development hell it's going through. The fact that you have to drop 60 dollars for single player and it being gaas kind of ruins it. Halo tryin to be like Fortnite but it will fail.

The proof was paying Ninja and all the other streamers to (eventually) promote the game

As in true MS fashion, they bailed out without allowing things to cook

I could see how people would have been hype as hell to have a open world halo with free online multiplayers day one. If the game had looked like the teasers Xbox would have been in a really good place right now. I’m not sure how they could drop the ball so hard on something that big for next gen. That’s like nintendo not having a mario or zelda game to launch a console.

Facts it killed the momentum and also the naming to. The Bethesda deal was somewhat the saving grace but we gotta wait a few years to see how they deliver on that.
