I hated those water shoes too, but I do actually really like my Crocs…

They’re comfy, they’re easy to clean, they’re water proof, they float, they can be worn like slippers with the straps up or can be more comfortable for walking around with the straps down, you can regularly find them for $30.

What are the negatives again?

I’ll believe it when it’s published, peer reviewed, and they’ve had a decade to rule out other sources.

The most recent papers on BLC-1 suggested that it’s signature most closely matched other incidents of terrestrial interference.

The combat is way too easy on normal difficulty

I played all the side quests and by like the halfway point, I took off all my armour and just beat every single enemy to death with my bare hands. I would definitely recommend a higher difficulty if you’ve played any rpgish games before.

Forge existed in Halo 5 too, and doesn’t impact the campaign…

Yes they do, I’ve rewatched seasons 2-9 of the Simpsons about 25+ times, I’ve watched it’s always sunny a similar amount, my dad has seen the movie Independence day about 300 times. Both of us play the same sport, which we’ve played most of our lives.

You quite frankly, don’t know what happened and if you’re confident it’s intentional, all that says is that you’re a grump who likes to complain.

That’s easier said and done with movies and tv where the enjoyment isn’t dependent on player base. For multiplayer games at a certain point you have often have to move to the newer versions.

Eh I don’t think that’s necessarily fair.

The best multiplayer in the series was Halo 5, which is also the farthest from the original in many ways. It just had a crappy story.

Then Halo Infinite was great, and extremely faithful to the original, but I would argue to a fault, as you could see them repeating the exact same story beats and moments rather than coming up with new ones.

The music was great, but the Puma (jeep), was also a huge part of it. The developers are on record talking about how they made the Puma, realized how fun it was, and then basically built the whole game around having fun moments with it.
