Multiplayer is just so vacuous

I really despair of those individuals that find entertainment in the multiplayer. It's just so utterly worthless and pointless.

You don't make any connections with any players, there's no time to contemplate any strategy and there's no teamwork. It's just sprint, shoot, die and repeat.

There's no satisfaction, no immersion and no meaning. It literally is empty eye candy to keep you occupied for a couple of hours.

There's no resonance, no genuine involvement, just surface level pap. Hence when you watch someone playing on Twitch, they don't care what they are doing. They don't feel it. They are so working on mindless autopilot that they have the time to comment on people following them and asking inane questions.

Battlefront, COD, Halo - they are all the same. Mindless exercises with pretty sounds and pictures to keep a cud chewing herd of morons glued to a screen.

How have we got to a point where an entertainment product is just like the previous one with nothing noticeably new or different. Pretty colours, bigger maps and people swallow that *beep* blindly.

I wanted to give 343 the benefit of the doubt but in Halo 5 they really are churning out the same old crap.

The game has got no heart or soul. Slick visuals and cool menus but a vanilla genericness at it's core. Couple this with the truly awful other media that they've recently put out and it really does feel like 343 are nothing more than janitors, rather than creators, prepared to oversee the franchise being run into the ground.
