With Halo Infinite set to
With Halo Infinite set to release later this year with the launch of the Xbox Series X I thought it would be interesting to explore the idea of trends. With every Halo game Microsoft and 343 have released since Bungie's departure the series has relied more and more on trends for innovation. With Halo 4 clearly being inspired by class based shooters such as Call of Duty and Halo 5 taking inspiration from the enhanced mobility trend. While many have argued these have been necessary additions for the franchise to remain relevant in a modern market, today I would like to propose the opposite has been true. And that the desire to copy mainstream mechanics from other games has caused Halo to lose its identity, and a lot of what made it special in the first place.
If Halo continues to look at other games for inspiration rather than believing in itself, I believe it will ultimately fail to resonate with an audience.
