    I wish they made an MMOFPS.

    A real MMOFPS.

    I dreamed about that playing Halo as a kid, and it kinda blew my mind when I actually found it in Planetside 2. That game was like black magic, jank and all.

    It doesn’t even exist in the market now. Well, Planetside is technically still there, I guess, but its a zombie, and it’s playerbase is just too old.

    An extraction shooter though. Really? I have nothing against the format, but there are a bazillion of them. I guess that’s why, as much as I love Bungie, I barely even glanced at Marathon.

      Funny enough, if the rumors are true, there is work being done to make a Halo MMOFPS live service game with customizable characters.

      I’ll believe it when I see it, but here’s hoping.

      Edit: Actually, it looks like just this month Microsoft killed it with the restructuring and layoffs they just had. FML.

        Tragic.

        On par for 2026.

        Ugh. A “Halo Planetside” would have been a money printing machine for MS, even if it was just mediocre. Maybe it was in dev hell though; we’ll probably never know.
