I didn't know about the alleged regference, but I know Halo popularity has waned and therefor understood the video's intent.

I'm not mad about it or anything; it's just the first thing I thought of while I watched it.
Alas, 343 can't seem to take a hint and continually chases after the younger crowd with this bullshit - driving the franchise further into the ground with each passing iteration.
A real head-scratcher, that.

I used to go to Fuddruckers all the time when I lived in MD. Now I miss the place.

Wait so what was the joke with the Fuddruckers part? The rest I get.

Perennially confused by what 'relevant' means in this context and why i should care as long as i can play. Seems odd in a place that worships games that sell less.
dude got a million dollars and the first thing he does is go to a mediocre chain restaurant

Ah. Well in my defense I'd first celebrate by going to a WH and splurging, lol.
Not as depressingly funny though.
Maybe because it has Microsoft still giving away a million dollars.

I fond this pretty funny and somewhat sad. Halo 5's multiplayer is great, but no doubt it lost its unique identity trying to chase other shooters. I don't mind the ADS (as it's mostly cosmetic) and sprint is okay, but Halo would stand out more if it wasn't chasing genre conventions. Halo 6 needs to get back to its roots a bit.
I think if they went back to the old artstyle, gave us classic scopes and removed sprint they would gain a lot of people back. They can still retain some new mechanics like groundpound and the thruster pack since those are mechanics that actually make sense (as they were inspired and not simply copying genre tropes). Having a weak campaign also hurt the overall perception of the package. Even if the multiplayer is good, people say the game sucks because the campaign sucks. They need to look at what made CE, 3's and ODST's campaigns great. Halo 6 should be in better shape as the Xbox One is stronger now, plus a PC version is likely, but if they don't make more adjustments to make Halo more like classic Halo, it won't be enough.

Certainly inspired by, definitely not a ripoff.

How is the xbox one stronger now
Came here to say the same. This isn't an homage, especially considering some of the beats being lifted pretty directly. Oh well. I always love a good Little Caesar's joke, anyway.

Simply by having a greater install base than it had when 5 launched, not saying the games lineup is particularity strong or anything. Scorpio should help too.

I'd always thought it was just a joke for idiocracy.
