I'm tired boss, let me vent here.

So I am mixed on current Halo news. It just sucks that one of my favorite franchises is bringing me down. I'll try to, "keep it pithy".

1. Halo CE remake: I wasn't excited initially because we already had CEA. It had problems, but I still remember how much praise it got for having the ability to switch between old and new quickly. I love CE, Anniversary was just a remaster for better and worse. News on 1 Remake (yes, I'm calling it Halo 1 Remake instead of whatever) has my curiosity peaked. CEA just slapped Reach graphics on top of an old game. 1 Remake is in a new engine, and also accessible to PlayStation players. Not to include new levels, new weapons, and re-recording of voice lines with the OG actors. If this is a ~$40 game (considering it's single player and co-op only of a decades old game) this is exciting and huge. Yet it seems all I mainly see is nit picking. Oh well, some things never change.

2. Infinite is getting it's final major update after only 5 years instead of 10. Yeah, they promised 10 years of content at launch. Everyone was doing that. They promised it, like so many others, when the track record was way against that happening. So many other big ten year projects have folded (cough* Destiny *cough). I remember at launch people cried to switch to Unreal and scrap it from the get go. Oh well, be careful what you wish for. It would have been nice for that promise to be kept in a timely fashion, but...

3. New projects in the near future. I was happy to hear that they're looking to the future, with 1 Remake being a stepping stone to nearer future projects. Yet it seems that was met with a collective sigh while complaining about Infinite receiving fewer updates. Bitch please, you wanted more new stories, in Unreal 5. Don't complain about it before you get it when you bitched the last 5 years as said before.

4. Politics. Fuck ICE and their appropriation of the "Flood" meme. It was sick, tasteless, and low. Despite my political views being a bit more conservative, that is disgusting. Halo Studios should have been outspoken against that.
