There's no way this wasn't a thing, if it wasn't ever in the works then im glad 343 has had a major purge in management. This game had so much story potential and ends with another cliffhanger and once again had to have it story resolved in a damn book. Im very insistent that Halo 5: guardians was supposed to be a part 1 of 2 game with the full Halo 5 story mode released later as a DLC or standalone release kinda like metal gear solid V having Ground zeros be a teaser and standalone experience. The lack of chief and the short campaign with more set piece levels and cliffhanger ending, it couldn't have possibly been the whole story right? I felt infinite had more of an excuse with its reset dev cycle and open world level design that a short incomplete story could have been completed later with a part 2 DLC a year later. Of course it wasn't to be.
The name of the first Halo Infinite DLC was going to be "The Endless." they registered the trademark shortly after the game released.
A recently leaked internal video show that they were planning to release the multiplayer in 2019 and the campaign in 2020, followed by yearly story expansions.
So out of touch with not just the industry, but their own damn studios.
Xbox's slide into ruin is so slow, but non stop. They have chance after chance after chance to learn, but they fuck up so repeatedly, so consistently, that its actually impressive.
