Not to mention there were a lot of cheaters on MP. I Hope they've weeded them out by now.The unfinished nature of Infite also became a topic of discussion. One player enquired if the cookbook also hints at keeping things half-baked and then delivering them.Skopin@Skopin830@Halo @insighteditions So do these recipes call for serving them half-baked and telling everyone you'll finish cooking them in a few months? Or leaving out various ingredients that they would expect to be included?8:40 AM · Apr 5, 202258414@Halo @insighteditions So do these recipes call for serving them half-baked and telling everyone you'll finish cooking them in a few months? Or leaving out various ingredients that they would expect to be included?Halo games aren't traditionally games with food items like a few other names. One fan couldn't believe the price point of the new book.Such has been the rage over the tweet that few users have explained explicitly that the developers didn't make the cookbook. This is one example of fans' rage from one area passing on to another. Much of the anger and frustration over the cookbook comes from problems with Infinite.Greg Wasdyke@Greg_WASD@Halo @insighteditions attention Halo fansThe developers working on the game did not make this cook book12:43 PM · Apr 6, 2022718@Halo @insighteditions attention Halo fansThe developers working on the game did not make this cook bookWhen the TV series was released, it was said that the franchise was targeting a broader universe. The cookbook helped professional players like Lucid understand what was meant by that.OpTic Lucid@Lucid_TW@Halo @insighteditions They were seriously not kidding about this broader audience initiative10:08 AM · Apr 5, 2022132928@Halo @insighteditions They were seriously not kidding about this broader audience initiativeThe clear anger over the cookbook transpires due to the state of Infinite.

It feels like you use anything you can think of to get money from wherever you can because there is always someone buying anything as long as it says Halo on it.10:40 AM · Apr 5, 20224@Halo @insighteditions I don't mean to be a hater or cause any trouble but, what does this has to do with the actual Halo games or Lore?

The only visible food items are the MRE packs. It all points to one direction claimed by certain fans - an extra way to make money.There was a humorous dig at the cookbook and its content, which comes down to the reported lack of it in the game.Halo isn't the first gaming franchise to release a cookbook. While it can be discussed if it has food items in its lore, several other video games have also released cookbooks. However, the recipes won't them aren't necessarily related to the games they are based on.The bigger issue at play is the players' sentiments over the way 343 Industries has handled Infinite. Had the game progressed according to expectations, the release of the merchandise might have had a better reception.
