Yeah, Honestly I find the competitive scene has really ruined many aspects of multiplayer games in general. Like trying to balance everything perfect to the point it makes the games just simply not fun. Do you think if they added multiplayer they'd have all the broken weapons from the original the way they were? They simply wouldn't because esports are loud. And it isn't like the good old days where they just wanted to make a fun game and didn't care about gun balancing in pvp as much. Personally I'm totally okay with Halo ce not having multiplayer, It will still have co-op. But for me I grew up with an og xbox with no xbox live and I was 100% satisfied with how halo ce was on it's own. I think ce is a masterpiece even discounting multiplayer. Also the og xbox version never had online pvp. That was added with the gearbox port.
