Halo TV Show Producer on Fan Expectations: You Can t Satisfy All the Voices
Halo has some really hardcore fans, fans that were quick to disparage
Halo Infinite last year when it was revealed for not being up to snuff, which certainly played a role in its delay from 2020 to 2021. And of course, these fans have a lot of opinions on the upcoming Paramount+ TV adaptation. Just this week a tweet from the actor playing Master Chief caused considerable backlash and division.
Speaking about working with fan expectations, producer on the show, Kiki Wolfkill revealed it a an interesting needle to thread with beloved characters, such as Master Chief. And to this end, Wolfkill noted that you can t please everyone.
The first
Halo: The Master Chief Collection Insider test of the year is now active, bringing forth the recently promised flight for Insiders to test before the content is pushed out to everyone. This latest Insider session, version 1.2159.0.0, is now live for Xbox console players as well as PC players across Steam and Microsoft Store.
Insiders will find
Halo 3 and
Reach being the testbeds in this flight and 343 Industries is looking for feedback on the new content, the biggest of which is easily the two fresh maps hitting
Halo 3. Titled Waterfall and Edge, these head over from the now-defunct
Halo Online project.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection last had an insider flight in October 2020 where
Halo 4 was being prepped for its eventual PC release. After a small break, 343 Industries is now almost ready to start the testing process back up, and in its latest
Halo community update blog post, the studio revealed what s in store for fans.
The long-promised Custom Game Browser is finally incoming with this Insider build if everything goes to plan, letting players create public custom matches that others can join through a browser without going through the matchmaking system. As the feature s first image displays above, the host can select how many players are in the session, the region, variants to customize the session, and enable what looks to be team swapping support.
343 Industries will soon start to push out Insider builds for the Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The next one is coming with a multiplayer game browser, FOV sliders for Xbox One, and much more.
