    Yeah its a horrible thing to watch and I can see Gamespot, Giantbomb etc... are now reporting layoffs as well. There are mass layoffs across the entire industry.

    Amazon is apparently also going to shed 18,000.

      It's a shame because Halo Infinite looks and plays great. It's everything else that let it down. It's clear 343i are very capable of getting something quality out of the gates, it just shouldn't have been Halo. Let them use the same engine and create something new.

            343 cut content, missed deadlines, and took an age to get content out, looking at it in isolation its not great, but like i said yesterday, for a studio that had a 1/3rd less staff than Bungie to make a game of a similar scope with monthly updated was always going to be a stretch.

            They have had quite a few goes at taking on Bungie's old franchise and making it work and never quite got it right so its proably time to give someone else a go. Halo was quite innovative as a shooter when it first landed , its stood still for quite some time now so maybe it needs a proper reboot.

                Well, it's not like theyve owned the IP since 2003 or anything.

                  Don’t want to rush it, insert sniggering.

                    At this rate we should see a new Doom in 2076.

                      I think we're going to see a new Quake in <3 years... if I say it enough times it's more chance of happening

                          It's a no brainer to me.... they have the tech, the team and wrapped up in Doom Eternal a while ago... plus we haven't seen a new Quake title since Quake Champions which was mixed (to say the least).

                          Give us the full id tech treatment across a campaign and multiplayer. Even if they staggered it into two releases.

                          I'd be all in...

                            That’s when the first game actually took place.

                              Fair enough.

                              Pierre Hintze is the guy responsible for fixing the MCC so I am going to give him some credit here... if he can pull that project back from the brink then I would feel Halo Infinite (and beyond) is arguably in better hands that it has been. I've always felt the developers at 343i know the game better than the leadership... so maybe the "new" 343 will embrace this.

                                It's dead. Halo will be relaunched in maybe 10 years by a different studio. MS don't need it anymore, it's popularity has crashed, and MS own Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, fallout etc.
                                'Big guy in green armour stiffly shooting aliens' can't compete with the slick fast paced action around today. It needs a complete reboot and rethink, and I don't believe MS will put that kind of effort in for a franchise on the slide.
