new call of duty is popping off

no like, seriously, where the ♥♥♥♥ is metro and locker?
and uhhhh, idk, actually grounded cosmetics and idk, nato troops that arent rocking 15 year old gear? and when did the swedish open up the airsoft bicycle armada?

also fellas, i understand that you like the idea of killing women, thats based for sure, but for the love of god why arent there more faceless goons like in bf3 and 4?

i miss you ziba tower, and your cute little bar

now i've been a big fan of halo ever since it was introduced to me when i was a kid. halo 3 being a personal favorite of mine despite playing reach before 3. it's home to some of my warmest memories, the times that got me through the stress and struggles of the time i had as a kid and the things i had to put up with, it was halo that got me through that all.

but for the life of me, i can't say i like this game and could reccomend it when it had became the unfinished mess it is now, full of too much ambition and broken promises, and a terrible multiplayer model for a system not needed on a game meant to be a flagship title for a launching console.

we were promised many things, and many things later. they insisted to us it's the most halo they've made for halo.
hmmmm, what did they all do?

some halo fans didnt like that the classic shotgun got replaced overall in the sandbox with a new shotgun. then they said they'll just add it in an update. we never got the classic shotgun, but we did get some stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brute shotgun that belongs in doom. it's cool, but it honestly doesnt feel like a halo weapon, if im holding it im playing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doom.

support for the coop campaign got cut. they added it, but they didnt give us the other features campaign should have had. no replayable missions, no story dlc to continue the story after the cool cliffhangar we got, campaign support being cut also means no new sandbox weapons are being added to the campaign, and that's kind of stupid; it kills the replay value. i would have liked to see the weapon sandbox fit and update with the multiplayer, and even some followups for the jokes of 'seasons' they had. they eventually said ♥♥♥♥ that and went to 'operations' because they thought fomo works or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that.

our store was just a place of overpriced bundles and by the time we got free currency, they make any decent items too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grindy to get, and also made promo items grindy, and offered you to buy the free currency to get them, but im not going to fall for that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ marketing tactic.

desync still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ exists and will show when you load up firefight and see everyone using only rockets and turn the match into a michael bay film.

gunplay, i understand that some people early on insist it's the best gunplay, and while i agree its satisfying, sometimes, compared to halo 3, it's not as smooth and way more jank than 3.

i really did like the armor abilities and how they used them in multiplayer, i thought that was executed well. though i feel like the campaign should have just had you scavenge for the abilities around and just accumulate the different gadgets instead of just making them suit upgrades. after all, i would like to feel like im playing halo, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ not far cry spiderman gear rising revangance; reign of the big bad guy's sad bald husband, though the campaign statement can be chalked up to personal gripe and opinion.

my takeaway from the armor abilities is changing dome shield then saying amped wall from titanfall replaces it, then pretend to bring it back and give us a useless sphere that nobody will walk up to

when promoting the hayabusa helmet coming back, they should have just made it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ login reward. i dont give a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ if it said "earn spartan points" IN A SENTENCE AFTER SAYING IT'S FREE, THEY DIDNT SAY ♥♥♥♥ ABOUT HAVING TO GRIND FOR IT, I'M NOT GONNA WASTE MY TIME ON THIS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ JOKE OF A 'HALO' TITLE

now i understand that some people feel like this is the best halo campaign but it really isnt to be honest.

there's some neat emotional tugging moments, yes, but it's done so much 343 fanfic for the story i just cant say the campaign was good. i personally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ felt it could have been better. we could have had better battles, a better setting, but they didnt want to offend anyone from what it looks like. you scooby doo chase a villain through his various BIG IMPORTANT FORTRESS WITH ALOT OF BAD GUYS and then hear about 10 glazing atriox speeches and hear a banished bad guy go "hello master chief i am going to fight you now, i tortured alot of the good guys"
i honestly would have loved an introductory mission where you're aboard the infinity, chief is geared up, and he is getting ready to approach the new halo ring. then the infinity gets into this cool space battle, but its also brought a small fleet with them as well, so a cool space battle ensues, as the banished is fighting with their ragtag group of upgraded ships, before chief then flies into a banished ship carrying atriox and starts running a crazy assault on the banished flagship, eventually destroying it from the inside and getting into a cool beefy fight with atriox before their fight goes unfinished and they separate from the ship tearing itself apart as it crashes onto the halo ring, before they eventually separate on different paths to spiral into some events like chief going to retrieve the weapon, then he's racing to get to cortana while also trying to chase the banished, chief gets support from some fellow marines but as chief retrieves the weapon, the infinity crashes, and now the spartans (and maybe some mp spartans like yours) need to defend the infinity, establish themselves on the ring fight the banished and finish the fight. idk i wanted a story to be very much halo feeling and have it come full circle where chief fights atriox, then has to deal with cortana and get her to stop oppressing the galaxy in some cool epic finale where chief has to stop her and eventually put her in some ai lockup or something.

instead, 343 fanfic comes in, and does it's ritual of mollywhopping chief yet again by space kratos who is all like "i am atriox im the new bad guy, now im going to disappear from the rest of the game because im not actually in this game at all." and throws chief into space which magically freezes him for 6 months. chief wakes up and the big bad guy he fought 'died' apparently which then just gets retconned at the end. all the spartans that were with you have been reduced to setpieces, so you cant live the cool fantasy of chief leading in fellow spartans on a cool assault against the bad guys in a new fresh coat of not halo 5 paint. oh yeah, funny how our boy fernando withstood the same ♥♥♥♥ and was just a little sore for a few minutes. after a little bit of far cry spiderman gear rising revengance, you get thrown a new 343 fanfic trope, which is introducing a new bad guy, and they're called the e n d l e s s (wow) and they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid because theyre just some aliens that withstood a halo blast and now suddenly the forerunners just dont like them because they're enabling the flood i guess. instead of that; they could have played it safe and just gave us the flood to fight again, and say we need to make sure a proto gravemind isnt made, and this thing happens again because we dont have the arbiter and the swords with us because they're stuck on sanghelios until we can deal with cortana or some plot reason until we can get some of the swords of sanghelios to help out on the ring. oh, and since we get nothing cool, mught as well get myself some special variant rockets, hand them to every marine possible, get myself a razorback, and let every rocket marine on, and just let the banished feel all the frustration i feel on what's been honestly missing from the whole game.

they held off on adding forge until it was a year and a half late. that really choked the life out of this game. they also made the forge ui just as complicated as halo 5's forge, which without the prefab structure setpieces, are absolutely useless to me. some of those prefab structures in halo reach and h2a forge were pretty integral in map making, but it also offered familiarity to where people could create interesting ideas. cant build a cool spaceship no more.

idk tldr: game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks halo infinite? nah, failo midfinite.

man i genuinely ♥♥♥♥♥♥' enjoyed ss2, and waited til a good paycheck to buy the remaster

im really only getting it for coop and so me and the boys can all get some sloppy shodan toppy in hd together (jokes aside, shodan has in my experience became one of the best fictional sci-fi villains, i really love how well written and portrayed she was, and how much she was actually capable. not many fictional villains make me think like that. the only one before that being bo2 menendez and og mw3 makarov)

either sale price or not, this is actually much cheaper than ss1's remaster and i bought that because of ss2, so of course i had to buy this. i also want my homies to experience it's immaculate soundtrack, which has probably left as much as an impression that ratchet and clank original trilogy soundtrack gave me. that, and med sci makes me feel like im about to enter some 90s vr combat scene that has visuals close to like 80s tron, med sci 1 will make you boogie.

edit: to clarify to the idiots review bombing, yes, the original copy got delisted, but it's now automatically included when you buy the remaster anyway, it kinda makes the $30 price more reasonable so chill the ♥♥♥♥ out.

i love this game

invested nearly 2000 hours of not going outside to do the things that going outside entails
i.e: going to bars, partying at a big house, pulling up to the function, deliberately avoiding the pointy green things on the ground, talking to (and smashing!!!!!!!) women, being a woke alpha sigma male chad or whatever the zoomies think they are (prolly like zyzz or trollge or smth idk), and getting brainrot

so if you got those things easily accessible irl, you really dont need this or need to ruin your life with this (unless you need to develop a 3d career of some kind haha)
