Microsoft is going hard on this "good old days" gambit. Wonder how it will pay off in this decade

    It's still Microsoft so I'm not buying it. Have fun. I hope for you all they won't add it later.

    And like Gears 5, some of the single player content will be online-only I bet. Fuck Microslop.

    And community dedicated servers, right?

    And only 4 maps. They better announce new maps weekly starting the week after launch, cause 4 is pathetic.

    I’m confused… we want bare bones content now?

    4 MP maps in a game that’s been in development for like 6 years is pathetic

    The downvotes are baffling. 7 people think that 4 maps for a multiplayer focused game that’s been in development for this long is acceptable?

    I'm sure they'll be an add-on for a small fee.

    Nah they said they’ll be adding them for free iirc in the video, I’m just saying they better come FAST because I have more than enough MP games with plenty of content, so I’m not hanging around playing E-Day with only 4 maps for more than a few weeks, and neither will many people.

    It’s what killed Halo infinite. It had a stellar launch, but with limited MP content……and everyone abandoned it within a month or so because they were so slow adding any more, and the players never came back. Same thing will happen here if they’re not careful.
