So Coalition is now helping with this game.
What's that like 4 or 5 teams in total?

Game needed major help and thankfully MS listened.

LOL @ those who are mad the POS they showed got delayed.

Fine by me. Throw Machine Games at it too when the Bethesda sale is finalized. We don't need any more Halo campaign misteps like 5.

Speaking of Halo 5, I hope Locke shows up in Infinite and MC immediately blows his head off with a shotgun so we never have to think about him again.

I think there is potential with the character, but his character suffered a similar fate much of the recent story/character development of Halo titles in that most of it happens outside of the games through the extended fiction.

Honestly wouldn’t mind seeing a side story game centered on Osiris.

Maybe so, but we shouldn't need extended fiction to make us care about characters.

I don't hate Locke as a character as much as I hate the massive derailing of the existing story and plot we received in 5. I'd compare this to the recent Star Wars trilogy in terms of an obvious lack of plan and cohesion, except I disturbingly have to say that The Last Jedi was a vastly better attempt at story telling than Halo 5 in every way possible. Halo 5 was a lot of fun and had great mechanics, but seemed like an almost complete waste of time in terms of character development and progress with the story at the end. "Oh wow, I'm so shocked to find out that our beloved franchise hero isn't a terrorist."

The Locke stuff could have been amazing. The early trailers showed so much potential with some moral gray area involving Oni. The story itself just fell flat.

It could have been done very well, but in the game it was just a quick fight and everyone makes up.

Yeah, the marketing was smartly written and Intriguing and the game was ham- fisted and shallow. Mostly. It had some moments
 
Very happy with the improvements. That’s going to look gorgeous in motion at 60fps. That day and night cycle tweet has me hyped to play this. Can’t wait.
