    I never undestood why fans didn’t jump ship sooner, it was painfully clear all the way back it halo 4 that they weren’t there to make a game for halo fans, they were just there to milk the franchise.

      There’s not really much to jump ship to, is the problem. Especially not if you hold battle royales and extraction shooters in near-universal contempt. I tried that already. Left Titanfall 2 because Respawn stopped caring and let it die; left Destiny 2 because the PvP got catered to the ‘three matches, get the pinnacle and we out til reset’ casuals that never buoyed the mode in the first place; and I finally picked Halo back up… Man. That was my last ditch, 'cause there will never be military spectacle games like CoD on my machine.

      Like… I just do not have a go-to pvp fps right now because everyone in the field is either chasing follow-the-leader battle royale money, or sucking tailpipe exhaust.

        I get that, I’m kind of in the same boat right now. I’ve largely given up on these kinds of games for the time being, and the extent of multiplayer I’ve been doing is playing splitscreen with friends every once in while. For the most part I’ve just been trying to find other kinds of games. It sucks. It really seems like there aren’t any good choices for pvp fps anymore.
