It's easy to sing an awesome cover of a song, but it's hard to write a great song. People who tweak things have a much easier job than the creation and execution of a thought.
That being said, I like the atmospheric elements of that video, in particular the haze, but i'm not sure it fits the Halo universe other than the haze and smoke of a violent firefight and bombing.
I don't mind if a GPU or CPU pulls a decent amount of energy, but I don't want companies to lazily engineer their products either. 600 watts is too much energy.
I'm still enjoying the new game modes. I don't care that i'm supposedly not getting all the points or whatever. I play the game for fun, not points. I'm sure they'll get it squared away. But this does point to them not being able either QA their game properly, or falling behind an expected timeline.
This game is BAD. I wanted to like it. I LOVED BF1-BF4. BF4 had it's warts upon release, but they were quickly fixed and it became a good game. BF5 was ok, but i didn't feel like BF. This latest game is straight trash and it pains me to say because I love(d) the franchise.
i think you're coming to the wrong conclusion. Netflix is having problem largely because of the stiff competition and market saturation. If anything, that further

Game Pass fans love to call Game Pass the "Netflix" of gaming and often tout the service as proof that Game Pass can be profitable. But it looks like recently Netflix has been having problems.
The company reported Tuesday that it lost subscribers for the first time in more than a decade. The news shocked Wall Street and sent shares plummeting 35% Wednesday morning, wiping out $50 billion in market cap. And this was after the company's stock had dropped more than 40% year to date.Simply put, Netflix's terrible 2022 has now become disastrous.Once bullish experts and analysts who viewed Netflix as the linchpin of a transforming entertainment industry are now concerned about its growth going forward. And they're wondering what the future of the company — and all of streaming — might look like."What worked until this point may not be working anymore," Michael Nathanson, a media analyst at MoffettNathanson, told CNN Business. "The world's changed."The question for Netflix (NFLX) — once the untouchable king of streaming — has gone from "what's next?" to "what now?"
So what do you think, SW? Is the reality of subscription models finally starting to show? can Game Pass be profitable on the current model in the long run?
Look at all the competing streaming services that have launched since Netflix:
Disney+
HBO Max
Hulu
Amazon Prime
Peacock
Paramount+
AMC+
the niche services like Criterion, Shudder, BritBox and Acorn
Now look at all the gaming subscription services that have sprung up to compete with Game Pass:
Exactly. The strength of competition has shown that the model is successful.
4 new maps in a year isn't TOO bad. But I would have preferred they release season 3 quicker. A big new content drop during the holiday season does sound like a smart marketing decision.
