I occasionally write, edit videos and make music. Professional procrastinator.

I love the Warframe community because it's unlike any other gaming community. New players get guidance, ignorance isn't met with elitism, criticism tends to be constructive. It's truly wholesome, understanding, and open-minded.

At least, that's what I thought.
🧵 While this vibe hasn't changed that much, as the game has become more accessible over the years, I've noticed growing stubbornness and hostility. What some time ago would've been a completely friendly discussion now often turns defensive or toxic.

I want to be excited about Halo Studios. But I can't help but notice repeating patterns. Like 343 with Infinite in 2018, they're building hype and expectations by promising a new era for Halo. Which shouldn't have to be a problem. But expectations are dangerous with Halo fans. 🧵 Image

Image Everyone got the idea that Infinite was going to be the "return to the glory days." But when that didn't happen, we entered the most obscure era in Halo's history. "It was 343's fault." Was it?

The Sonic movies are just as different from the original material as the Halo TV show.

The difference is that, surprisingly, Sonic fans are more likely to understand that an adaptation doesn't 'need' to be "faithful" to be good. Image You know someone isn't a Sonic fan if they use the movies as a staple of "faithful game adapatations." I could make a whole list of how many things the movies drastically change from the games. But I don't need to. Because the most drastic change is in Sonic himself.

I think this was the only (big) problem of Hunt the Truth. That it was so good it made people forget what Halo's marketing has always been about. The trailers were so intense, and 343 put so much emphasis on this apparent rivalry between Locke and Chief, that it backfired. Now, they only referred to Chief as a traitor three times. In the audio drama's announcement, Locke's trailer, and the launch trailer. But those three times were enough for people to create a whole picture in their heads. But can you blame them? Yes. And no. It's complicated.

"Such a shame Hunt the Truth was false advertising." It wasn't. Halo's marketing is never about what is actually going to happen in the game, but about world-building implications that give another layer to the story you see in the game. HtT is a story about questioning Chief's status and how ONI would do anything to hide that he is not invincible nor incorruptible (they know the truth would hurt everyone's morale). Even if Chief doesn't go rogue in H5, going AWOL still has consequences. Disastrous consequences.
