4. A Future In Halo eSports?
Frank O'Conner, master of all things Halo related and game director on Halo 5: Guardians has revealed during a recent GiantBomb E3 Stream that the reward systems may be on their way out, and a truly competitive Halo multiplayer experience could be what they want to build. Frank O'Conner said, "The funny thing is weve seen first person shooters get more and more complex, and more and more sort of reward driven and stuff. There has been kind of a backlash about it, I think its a seesaw, and I think that it is tipping back towards the and eSports is certainly driving a lot of that is going for things that are really truly competitive rather than just sort of reward driven" Although ambiguous, does this mean that 343 Industries are aiming to set Halo 5: Guardians up as the next DOTA or League Of Legends? It's no secret that Valve and Riot Games make huge sums from their competitive eSports titles and Microsoft are never far behind when it comes to game changing trends.
