We have seen this with movies and other releases... it's not surprising we have and are seeing this in game launches.
Microsoft delays Halo Infinite to 2021 - Theverge.com (https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2020/8/11/21363769/halo-infinite-delay-launch-2021-release-date-xbox-series-x)
Good news though! The Xbox Series X is still on track for November! I'm Probably skipping Xbox again this generation because I've been trying to concentrate on a single system... and it's cheaper. However, I really miss Gears of War and Halo series.
Thought, comments... post it up!
Halo 4 was awful, but I still had the 360 for Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. I am glad that I skipped the Xbone since Master Chief Collection is coming out on Steam anyway.
I also skipped the PS4, but honestly still have PS2 and PS3 games that I have yet to beat.
Take this as a sign to all gamers that it is time to catch up on their backlogged games!
I would have to stop buying video games completely and retire before 40 to catch up on back logged games...
LOL... I actually made a decent dent the last 2 years in my gaming backlog. I had a goal of playing every Steam game I owned for 5 minutes... and I've played several of my old titles. Tons of them are still sealed. I won't even begin to say how many "Lego" games we have that are sealed still... waiting for the others to be "platinum trophied."
I REALLY wish Call of Duty would have followed suit and made the current Modern Warfare run longer. However, Cold War is still coming out. Halo Infinite looks interesting... and I will DEFINITELY be buying the Master Chief collection on Steam at some point... yes please.
I'd love to get back into halo, any halo. I'm still partial to halo 2 for MP but they're all at least ok.
