Found an old video of this sweet Mirror's Edge Catalyst diorama I got with the Collector's Edition in 2016. It's of Faith looking back on her younger self with unrequited tenderness.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is an incredible game. The franchise has enormous potential.

Halo was never "too slow."
One reason some say classic Halo is "too slow" is because they don't understand that FOV greatly impacts our perception of speed.
Halo 2 & Halo 3 had a FOV of around 70 on Xbox. A low FOV makes us see things as being slower than they actually are.

Halo 3 vs Halo Infinite: Strafe. Which do you prefer? Poll below.
H3's strafe has acceleration. It's more natural and fluid. HI's has an instant velocity change. It's unnatural, its movement is also twitchy and janky. Good strafe design is essential for good, fun gameplay.

Why are most Infinite maps UNSC themed? What happened to Halo's iconic Covenant and Forerunner themed maps? It was Halo's identity.

Infinite had 4.5 million players on launch, reaching 20 million in the following weeks. Then the numbers began to drop. Why? The game launched with -enough- content to keep players interested for longer. So what was it? It wasn't lack of content. It was lack of Halo's identity.

JEFF STEITZER EXPOSES 343. Jeff says during Halo 4, they micromanaged him and made him change the way he delivered his lines, simply because they wanted to be different from Bungie. They also tried to replace him. 343 wanted to change Halo to leave their "stamp" on it.

Last year I was contacted by a former 343 employee who was there since the start. She was employee 7, before Frank. She had also worked with Bonnie before. She was a face of the franchise; she moderated all the panels, started the community team and helped produce the game...
The layoffs at 343 shouldn't have happened and Halo Infinite should be in a better state. The reason for both of those things is incompetent leadership up top during Halo Infinite development causing massive stress on those working hard to make Halo the best it can be.

343: We don't want playable Elites because Halo Infinite is a Spartan story. It breaks immersion and hurts Halo's serious tone.

The idea that Halo must change to compete with other FPS is stupid. If fundamentally changing Halo to compete with other FPS is the main goal, it'll never be a great Halo game. It's a sign the creators lack confidence in their product. Halo should only be competing with itself.

Without sprint you can shoot, nade, jump and turn 360° all while moving at top speed, allowing for more thoughtful and tactical combat which creates more player engagement and delivers a more fun experience. Sprint is only moving from point A to B and breaks Halo's iconic maps.

Wow, mother of all BRAINDEAD takes. 343 has ALWAYS stuck their middle finger at the fans, they've ALWAYS pushed their vision of Halo, changing it into something fans NEVER wanted, causing tens of millions to leave the franchise and stick their middle finger back at them.
