Halo's new Xbox remake is an instant culture war disaster

Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved with new bonus missions, has drawn backlash online over a new female marine character, Lieutenant Williams.

Some critics are attacking the character as forced diversity, but the article says the remake also has real design and writing issues that have nothing to do with her.

The debate has quickly shifted from the game’s merits to a broader gaming culture-war fight, making serious criticism harder to have.
