It's still Microsoft so I'm not buying it. Have fun. I hope for you all they won't add it later.

Microsoft is going hard on this "good old days" gambit. Wonder how it will pay off in this decade

1 or 2 bad releases and they will backtrack.

I mean, they fire staff even when a game is successful. They probably aren't cured of their bullshit any time soon

And like Gears 5, some of the single player content will be online-only I bet. Fuck Microslop.

[–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And community dedicated servers, right?

And only 4 maps. They better announce new maps weekly starting the week after launch, cause 4 is pathetic.

I’m confused… we want bare bones content now?

4 MP maps in a game that’s been in development for like 6 years is pathetic

The downvotes are baffling. 7 people think that 4 maps for a multiplayer focused game that’s been in development for this long is acceptable?

[–] bajabound@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm sure they'll be an add-on for a small fee.

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Old school!

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Which was horrible as it splintered the user base.

Nah they said they’ll be adding them for free iirc in the video, I’m just saying they better come FAST because I have more than enough MP games with plenty of content, so I’m not hanging around playing E-Day with only 4 maps for more than a few weeks, and neither will many people.

It’s what killed Halo infinite. It had a stellar launch, but with limited MP content……and everyone abandoned it within a month or so because they were so slow adding any more, and the players never came back. Same thing will happen here if they’re not careful.
