Now that Halo is dead, which game deserves the title of "Halo killer"?
For those too young to remember, back when Halo was huge every gaming publication was always like "is this new shooter X going to be the Halo killer?" Every time a big multiplayer shooter was announced, there was speculation about whether it was going to be the Halo killer.
Now that Halo is dead, which game was the Halo killer?
I'm not sure if another game killed Halo so much as it imploded on itself, sadly. Maybe whatever game made the open world blueprint popular? But honestly, Guardians wasn't great either and it wasn't open world.
I think it's more the culture of gaming now a days than anything. Everyone likes the free to play mulitplayer shit, or did and companies won't let it go. A solid campaign goes to the wayside when they have to concentrate on the multiplayer to rake in the $$$. Halo had the best of both worlds, and now it has nothing, it really lost it's spark.
That said I still enjoyed Guardians more than Infinite, just needed more Chief. Infinite went a little too off the Halo rails.
But I guess that's how most things end up in the end. Hold onto the great memories.
