I'm fine with Halo moving to Activision. Halo studios had their chance multiple times and there are plenty of super talented FPS devs at Activision that are just waiting to get off COD support duty.
Oh really. Tell me how much worse it's gonna get. Tell me how bad it is that talented FPS devs are gonna get a break from COD support duty. Go ahead. Id like to know.
Ok, so first of all, im fairly sure you havent played, like, most post pandemic, warzone era call of duty games.
Its gotten BAD, every 2 releases we get as brand new gimmick mechanic that gets ditched for the next one and annoys the shit out of people (all the weird shit in MW2, omni movement in BO6, etc.), then every inbetween entry is a pseudo sequel thats effectively just a 70 dollar expansion to the last game (Vanguard to MW19, MW3 to MW2, BO7 to BO6) where they basically just change the assets, tweak the gimmick mechanic a bit, and literally let you carry over your progress like its an expansion disk for a PS1 game, these also usually have HORRIBLE campaigns that are at best 6 hours long and full of warzone slop.
Lol I have disregarded your opinion. Has no idea the history of these FPS studios, how much talent they hold and how they are all dying to be taken off COD support duty. An FPS going to Activision doesn't immediately mean a COD clone. Have some critical thinking skills and prior knowledge related to what I talked about before wasting that amount of time on your response.

yeah ok buddy.
Let's see: Treyarch? Blundell, Vonderhaar and Zielinski all left so thats literally the 3 leads that made black ops what it is, Infinity Ward? its been hollowed out for a decade, current leads are hacks that cant write for shit and all the important talent like mission designers and animators have left due to bad treatment (look up who made the distinctive MW19 gun animation style), Sledgehammer? founders left a while back.
And thats just the main ones, nerve and high moon are hollow shells too, while raven was ok till the whole cold war takeover debacle they had with sledgehammer, which led to the unionization and then a bunch of leads leaving frustrated that they were still leaving mistreated.
TL;DR: you dont even know who these people are and what their names are, dont even direct a word towards me if you cant be bothered to know who is making your games.
This is not an opinion, you dunce, im stating fact, im explaining to you industrial processes, im doing a personalized episode of "How The Sausage is Made" just for you.
This isnt up for discussion, its just how it works behind the scenes.
