343 appreciation thread

So much negativity against 343 Industries.
Let´s break the trend.

Let´s all get together and thank 343 for spending the last couple of weeks on adjusting the “SCOPE GLINT”-slider on BR + all snipers.

Big thanks, Cilione.

I didnt even know those guns had bloom. The only guns with noticeable bloom are the pistol and commando

Bloom was the wrong word. I meant “SCOPE GLINT”. Much more difficult, probably twice as much work adjusting the code.

I greatly appreciate the new doubles playlist. Ranked and unranked.

Season three’s looking, in the immortal words of Jeff Stietzer: “Unfriggen believable!”. The first two seasons have been really dificult to defend, but if seasnon three turns out to be all the leaks say it will be, then things might finally be turning around.

Now, to get to the next issue: Aiming.

I hope they full send on this one. Just straight up remove all the issues with the aiming and get it out of the way.

I’ll post a celebration thread every day if they add a toggle that disables all VFX, fractures and FOTUS stuff.

They are so rich and have such an easy job. I don’t think they need any more ego boosts

reason is they were extremely passionate to the point they put the fullest possible effort going above and beyond to absolutely maximize revenue in any and every way while disregarding the state/quality of the game and not caring about the community.

they focused on income with an absolute ruthless passion for money. the over seers of halo infinite anyways

You’re praising them for fixing an issue they created.

So you say we shouldn’t be happy when people admit they made mistakes and work on fixing them?

Of course we should be happy when they fix their own mistakes that they created, I mean it’s the only time 343 actually does a “good thing” for Halo. So, it doesn’t really surprise me that random people come out of the shadows and go “wow! 343 actually did a thing!”

I’ll be more supportive of 343 once they actually score a victory, cleaning up your own spilled milk time and time again deserves no recognition.

I think my general trend has been forgiving for Season 1 and tolerating for Season 2.

But coming from a strong baseline of appreciation for the core game they have given us. So, yes. Happy to show my appreciation to this point.

Next week will be the key.

We’ve been promised more communication. A road map (date for Forge?). The hint is that they are better set up now for fixes and updates.

The leaks are so encouraging…

By this time next week I hope everyone will feel more appreciative of where we are heading.

While true, believe me they are going to make up for it in the future. Can’t talk leaks here but on twitter even the devs are talking leaks. And they are epic.

Well, I hope so but please excuse me if I don’t hold my breath. 343 has already broken my heart more times than I want to admit.

They made a game that has the potential to be the best. It’s got a ways to go, but no Halo game feels as GOOD to play.

I’ve said it on a few of Mint’s videos. If all the stuff that’s getting leaked (Weapons, equipment, Falcon, 11+ Maps, Forge, Customs Browser) all get added DAY ONE or consistently spread throughout season 3, that would more than likely be a game-reviving updare.

Halo 3 and halo 5 would like to speak.

That said halo infinite is the same tier as those two in gameplay. Though everyone needs to remember no halo yet has gotten everything right, other then CE and 3. Even reach got things wrong.

the leaks don’t indicate season 3 will have all that content within it, could come season 4 or 5, a lot of it could just come with a Campaigh DLC so could be far out.

Leaks aren’t always worth the hype unfortunately.

I would love to thank 343i for all the new exciting gambling mechanics in the game:

  • Making melee hits always a gamble whether they will deal damage or not - this one is the most fair, 50/50 coin toss.
  • Making assassinations 50/50 - it’s always exciting to not know if you will kill the person with their back turned to you or if they will just phase through you and assassinate you instead!
  • Making so grenades are 70/30 split between being a dud and killing everyone in the room plus the room itself - this one is annoying, it seems to be dependent on accounts.
  • Making the spawns completely one sided on a per-game basis, where one team will spawn constantly on the objective, despite 80% of the map being clear - this one is a particular favorite of mine as I witnessed a teammate get a Killtacular (5 kills) in a 4v4 ranked game, which I always thought was impossible, but I guess not if the enemy constantly spawns in melee range, directly on top of the objective!
  • Desync - hasn’t been worse than this in 20 years, despite us originally playing on 10mbps connections. It is an incredible feat to have made it worse than any other game - it always keeps you on your toes. For example, will this wall block bullets or not? Come find out!

Keep up the good work!
