While talk of Halo's future is certainly very exciting, I'm aware that it's fanciful and that I doubt Asha really gives a shit.
Also, Halo MUST be built by a local team together, not outsourced around the globe to a group that has ZERO investment in making something great.

I've seen this story before... former Halo World Champion starting to get comfortable in CoD...
It's only a matter of time

Seeing more moves from @asha_shar today leads me to another move I'd like to see her make: start licensing the Halo IP to other talented developers, internal or external. Games Workshop does an A+ job of this with Warhammer and we get a great variety of excellent games from the franchise.
Halo has been dormant for nearly FIVE YEARS already, and the Halo we're getting this year is a campaign-only remake (aka Unreal Engine 5 warm-up project). She can't fix this overnight, but do what Games Workshop (and Lucasfilm with Star Wars) does: find talented developers with great ideas for the IP and let them cook. One idea: Kojima or Bloober Team doing a Flood-themed Halo horror game, maybe? Horror is huge these days.
The point is: we still have zero idea when the next mainline Halo game is coming while Halo Studios reboots itself, and that's a problem for what is supposedly Xbox's biggest franchise.

Hard to remember when it wasn’t always super serious doom posting and infighting and data mining and rumors. I totally get it, especially when it always drives engagement, but yeah, I think we all long for when it was about having fun and shared enjoyment of a videogame. We’ll get back there 🙏

Watching Marathon haters do a 180 because the game is genuinely good in real time has been a hopeful experience

One of the reasons I like Marathon is because it is brutal about losing and learning from your mistakes and it feels like a lot of new shooters are doing absolutely everything they can to limit player skill gaps and level out the playing field

my tutorial idea I spoke about in my first impressions vid is getting a lot of love in the comments, so sharing here also for @MarathonDevTeam
I think the tutorial should be totally redone and should instead give you purple and gold loot to play with at first
this would instantly solve the "this game feels bad to play" feedback we see from a ton of new players; they just don't know how good the game COULD feel so they think marathon is entirely slow, sluggish, etc, which just isn't true. it's just that it STARTS that way
then at the end of the tutorial, you should have to do an exfil, but it should kill you through a scripted event so you are introduced to "death being the first step" and you then understand that the goal is to get that carrot on stick and fight from zero
I think the player onramp into this game is one of its biggest problem areas right now - sooooo many people say they thought it was ass at first but then at the 10 hour mark it clicks - and you can't expect people to just keep trying the game until they eventually like it, they'll bounce off way sooner. i think this would help solve for that.
thoughts? more details on the idea in my vid if you're curious

Not taking anybody serious that says Marathon Looks like Roblox you mfs just regurgitating shit you see on the internet cause this game dead ass don’t look like no fucking Roblox bro quit saying that dumb shit

8 hours of Marathon and I'm enjoying the world building they're doing a lot. My issue with a lot of extraction shooters has been doing contracts for people/worlds I don't care about and if Marathon keeps up the story and lore then that has a real chance at keeping me invested

you can tell deadlocks playerbase is mostly overwatch players cause these people do not know what a splitpush is

Replying to @falloutplays
Anyone found to be cheating will be permabanned from playing Marathon forever, no second chances.
