The Tuesday letters page worries that next gen games are just too expensive to make, as one reader is concerned about lootboxes and FIFA 22.

Change of management I’ll be honest, I think the complaints against Halo Infinite are a bit overdone. Sure, 343 couldn’t organise the proverbial booze up in a brewery but I think the quality of their work is very good. Infinite is definitely their best game amd if it wasn’t for them being so slow with the post-launch support I think it’d be held up as an instant classic.

It seems to me the problems are to do with management more than anything else and while that’s clearly a serious problem it should be something that can be fixed. Although it is weird that this has been going on since at least The Master Chief Collection, with 343 acting like some two-man indie outfit in a way that actual indie developers never do.

But really, just focus the team, fix the bugs that the community tells you about (not just ones you pick at random), add more content and don’t make a battle royale. If Halo’s player-base is going down it’s not because people are pining for another Fortnite clone, it’s because they’re bored of the same old maps and modes, and all the broken promises and bugs.

There’s nothing wrong with Halo Infinite, it’s already a great game. It just needs more of everything, and quicky. The easiest way to save Halo is to fire whoever’s in charge and get the team working on priorities. It’s all there already, it just needs reorganising.Cranston
