Halo x Call of Duty Collab: Painful New Details Leak

This news has been rife in gaming circles that there might be an upcoming collaboration of Halo x Call of Duty. Even just a mere announcement is enough to hype up some individuals because these two gigantic franchises are coming into one game. Once more information began to surface, sadness deflated hype because part of the leaked statement says that cross-over is not what people had thought would be a 'big deal". That's all we get from the leaked information of how Halo and Call of Duty team up with one of their collaboration pieces, attracting many fans real letdowns.

History About the Leak about the rumor between Halo and Call of Duty Crossing:.

It all started as a spec over the cross-over of Halo x Call of Duty. Dataminers found some references within the files of Call of Duty, saying it probably contains some of the content relating to Halo. Social media crazed with these discoveries and various theories and wish lists over what it might possibly bring from their collaboration.

There are numerous influential gaming insiders who believe it may be one of the prime interests of Microsoft to take this Halo further by spreading it over other universes of games. It is a buy from within the house; hence, one would feel and think more intensively about having Call of Duty-like something on its part regarding Halo.

It would end up being an all-timers event or be limited by time or some cosmetic change, still a million-dollar question.

Leaks of Information: What the Collab Might Imply

Well, the recent leaks have given some insight that this Halo x Call of Duty crossover might not be as large as the fans would want it to be. So far, some of the things leaked include:

1. Halo operators skin

As leaks go, the most important change there is going to be Halo-tastic operator skins for Call of Duty. In other words, Master Chief-one of the gaming world's most recognizable legends-is going to show up as a skin for purchase within Call of Duty.

However, most of the fans have really expected much from this game. Somed really high expectations relating to the fact that there could be playable Spartans, arms, and even limited game mode to some period simulating some of the experiences in Halo.

2. No Arms of Halo or Vehicularity

Many would want to feel the sense of experience through one of those world-famous armaments within Call of Duty's Halo series, whether one of the many popular variants of Battle Rifle or infamous Energy Sword and even that feared Gravity Hammer, which, by the road map of the call of Duty would have found their place within. It had promised but denies that this game will have no new halo designs entering gun or vehicles in the battlefield. No Warthogs, Ghosts, or Banshees. Actually, that is what hurts the most of all to the fans who had followed Halo series since it first emerged.

3. Very little Cross Over Mode (just a few)

Not a thing confirmed but some hints to possibly be that there might exist a shorter gameplay mode of Big Team Battle from Halo or SWAT. Maybe it will be all the gameplay-features this crossovers are going to sport. But in case it would be only one Call of Duty mode with very simple reskin, then possibly that is not what most waited for.

4. Overpriced Bundles & Microtransactions

The cooperative content is going to be the next big disappointment. As usual, all other collaborations for Call of Duty, the Halo x CoD skins and cosmetics may be exclusive to those pricey bundles. In some estimates, this may go as high as $20 to $30 for a bundle. That's going to hurt them if the fans thought that this one would be free or won in-game.

What Fans Are Disappointed For

The minute details dripping from these leaks shows that, perhaps this Halo x Call of Duty collab ends up being an advertisement tie-in rather than a game of substance. This is why fans feel frustrated with the situation:

1. Missing Opportunities for Proper Crossover Game Play

This cross collaboration knowledge across people's desktop everybody at the same instance must have been thinking it might be something gargantuan. It must perhaps be a big internal event Call of Duty game that would perhaps mimic play of this franchise on Halo with help of content-new weapons and what not-It was skin-a cosmetic items which were quite understated.

2. Legacy Of Halo Wasted Much Further.

If the taking of consideration is done for the biggest franchise in the world for FPS games, then it is a part of that. The viewers think that when it comes out in Call of Duty, then it has to contain something bigger than it. Master Chief skin is quite a bad idea since Halo has history of its kind and one can say it's the biggest history associated with it and the shooting game.

3. Pricey, Less Value

The video game industry has had aggressive microtransactions on their neck, and for the sake of this case, especially in recent times, it does not seem to be so. This is because a good number of the players feel that for the few cosmetic items charged at such enormous prices with no meaningful changes in gameplay make the collaboration seem like a cash grab.

4. Lack of Innovation

Major franchises crossovers have to be special and provide unique play experiences from both worlds. The playground promised everything Fortnite's collaborations are known to be about: introducing special mechanics, missions, or limited game modes. As of now, Halo x Call of Duty collab does not feel like that boundary-pusher.

What Could It Have Done Differently?

If Activision and Microsoft were to do something interesting, the following would be interesting to hear:

• playable Spartans rather than skins fully capable Spartan operator class with unique abilities;

• Halo Weapons & Equipment. Needler and Plasma Pistol or Energy Sword ;

• the themed event which would have been a time sensitive event holding content from Halo with some good old elements of gameplay with Halo cool.

•Crossover Storyline: Mini campaign and lore-driven missions about why Halo is in Call of Duty would have added a lot more depth to the collaboration.

Is there still hope?

Not that the leaked news may not be the ones the fans are desiring, but still, there is a bright chance that great content will be delivered more through other future updates. If this first community response is really so strong, then Activision and Microsoft might extend on this crossover through future seasons.

We may therefore see much more collaboration from Halo and Call of Duty in the future, at least in the near future since Microsoft only recently acquired Activision Blizzard. Maybe much more than this is in store for us, and this skin heralds the coming of a much more fantastic and sublime thing.

Conclusion

Well, not so these days according to the current leaks-the fans are not getting the event but some cosmetic tie-ins. Halo and Call of Duty have had the chance to be part of one of the most highly anticipated cross-plays in gaming history.

This is really frustrating because there aren't Halo's weapons, vehicles, or central gameplay elements inside Call of Duty. The problem gets worse with the high prices of cosmetic packages that a gamer finds annoying to see that is another monetization without relevant content.

That alone does not mean that Activision and Microsoft stopped paying attention to the demand of their community, and, subsequently, in updates to come, will bring something much bigger. Instead, it is now turned on the fans who want to know if waiting for the Halo skins would be worth their time or rather hold up something much bigger and better.
