603: Will Activision save Halo?

Mob hit starts us off with Xbox's announcement of Activision taking the helm.

of the halo ip would it be a good thing for activision to treat halo similarly to how they treat cod and release an annual halo game with the story campaign expanding with every new edition along with the pvp mode also updating with new weapons to keep the game fresh um so let's start with that because it's actually a two-part question no no they shouldn't don't do that

let that let let those don't like let those things simmer because again like halo is i feel like at its at its current state is literally at rock buck funnel oh yeah and if at anything if you put out anything that's just that shit in there it's just gonna and you're gonna keep putting shit on shit but one thing i do think they should do is okay you do have your you know you have whatever your next halo but then you have your multiplayer mode right and that's when you that'll be your quote-unquote semi-service part of it right you know you keep updating you add maps from the games you do those things you keep those things running until you have your next halo game which would be like i don't know

you mean two years something like halo infinite That was the original plan for Halo

Infinite.

The problem with Halo Infinite is that the world was garbage.

It didn't matter.

I'm just saying, you still have your single-player Halo game, right? But you have your multiplayer side, which is the other part of it.

Sort of like what they do with Call of Duty, right? Every single release, they sort of, like, you know, we just have that big, you know, like, online suite for those guys who just want the versus, the PvP, and all that other stuff.

But you keep that running a little longer.

So, you know, you throw, hey, look, we put out some new Master Chief suits.

Hey, we put the Ninja Gaiden suit in there.

You know, like all those things in there.

You're just rolling those things out while the other part of the game is still, you know, you still have your single player.

Really, the big one is like get your single player in some sort of semblance of order.

I will say this, though.

Even though I don't think they should do annual leases, they should make them regular releases, right? There shouldn't be a case where a new Halo game comes out every seven years.

That's insane.

You drop a new Halo game, like a new story Halo game, every two to three years, and you make...

Two to three years, yeah.

Yeah, and then what you suggested, kind of Halo Warzone, right? The thing that's always there, that's constantly being updated.

That way you get both, you know? But annual releases, no fucking way.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Don't, no, don't even do that
