    And still they never fixed the weird GPU-specific graphics bug that baked into saves and prevented me from playing. Wonder if I could get this turd polished under Linux.

    And the “10 years” game gets the premature death it deserves. I was super psyched when this was announced only to then hear it was free to play. Released broken, with a fully functionally MTX store because of course. Campaign as an afterthought, no forge, no game mode selection (until backlash got it implemented). A shit show from start to finish.

      Game was fun for a week until the nostalgia high wore off and you just became more aware of how much shittier playing is now compared to the old days.

      I remember customizing my armor and stuff for multiplayer back in the old days. Tried to do it after a week of playing Infinite, thinking I surely had some pieces unlocked to make a custom armor, to find EVERYTHING locked off and isolated, no free color palettes to use, no mix-n-matching sets. So, sure, I had a bunch of pieces unlocked, but they were all one or two for different sets.

      This broke the rose color glasses for me. My next few games I started noticing the flaws in the gameplay, and just found myself wanting to play Halo 2 instead.

      I thought the campaign was fine for what it was, nothing’s ever going to live up to CE -> Reach and the semi-open world formula felt like it worked really well.

        I wanted to and I agree, it being semi open wouldn’t have been an issue for me but too much goodwill was lost for me to do so unfortunately.

      I also played it for a few hours on release, it lacked any sort of content and i never got over how they sold armor colors. The most basic form of customization, not skins, but a different color of your armor were bring sold just so you can look slightly different from everybody else in the server. A complete mess.

        Yup, this right here is exactly what broke me out of the nostalgia haze.

        Just the utter nickle-n-diming for the most basic things really rubbed me wrong.

        Yeah same here i even came back when it was “getting good again” and had a resurgence but the selling shit that was literally free in other games, nah.

        I don’t give a shit about MTX because I ignore all of it, but I quit playing after the nth time I melee’d someone in the back and not get a kill… only to have someone else I’m staring at 20 feet away from me, FACING ME, melee ME in the back and get an instant kill. There’s no excuse for Destiny-like Peer to Peer server garbage from a fucking Halo PvP game.

        You haven’t seen the MW2 2022 UI have you? It’s like these companies are trying their best to make the worst UI.
