343 Narrative Designer missing = lack of content/roadmaps

So you guys lost narrative designer according to news and there hasn’t been any follow up since the articles posted in January 3, 2022. I’m curious to know the responsibilities of this title.
Based on the career title i’m leaning on an assumption that the responsibilities of said title are to construct content for the title or ROAD MAPS of the upcoming content.
If this is a correct assumption then i feel as if this is the REAL reason for lack of content for halo-infinite.
Idk about it and im very curious to know. I would love some real clarification not some half baked ideas from the community as there are ALOT of negative assumptions on to why there isnt enough content and i believe if this is the real reson then some clarity could be helpful for those out there that are beating you guys down for this game.
I absolutely love this game and I’m passionate in particular to the growth of this game. I mean with close to 1800 games and days of gameplay i would love to see or hear about some content. Even with the fixes in the works we still have no idea whats to come and i do think the lack of transparency and lack of content is seriously starting to hurt what 343 has worked soo hard to create.
Thanks for all your hard work 343 and please feed us some sustainable information as i think if this is the real issue at hand then ppl would be much more accepting to the reality if this is the reality to the lack of content and road maps

Damn F it I have no clue experience in any of this but I’ll apply… One week after I star Cross core customization and universal armor Coatings for everyone.

change universal armour coatings into a Pallet system like warframe’s better to be able to choose our own colours rather than using specific set colour combos.

Even better we go Full Anthem color wheel and the coatings are just overlays to those.

True, only the material being paid for

I would suggest throwing in extra body types but I don’t want to push my luck with that xD

Personally, I don’t know what to believe anymore after all the lying and what actions have taken place.

There is one thing that Bungie tought me well back in Destiny 1, 6 months into it with all the lying they passed off that many fell for. Never trust a company’s word when their actions show otherwise, not even articles because no one knows what actually goes on behind closed doors.

This title was a scam, meaning passing the game off as a functional product, but it’s actually broken in just about every aspect of it. Without the game play infinite would literally be dead right now knowing that it is literally all it has going for it.

Ive read that people are given contracts at 343 for like i guess 18 months ish. Which then they get a 6 month. Break and get a choice to jump back into contract for like 6 months. I think after see others show this that microsoft would greatly benefit from where things stand to try and have multiple positions promoted to each department of 343 to help keep things up to par and without hiccups. Would be much better for them and us in the jest of things . Maybe extend contracts for something as rich and diverse as it is in story ,lore , multplayer experience, content , creativity. Theres still more depth of the halo infinite story thats yet to be explored and i think getting this into high gear would benefit both parties enjoy the rewards. It will and should most definitely hopen to promote Master chief 117’ and the Weapon.

Especially since the game processesing capabilities between next gen xbox and pc pushes it to such refreshing rates that make you unlock the most thrilling experience ever. Lets crank it up Microsoft

If this is the case they could at least admit to it instead of looking absolutely incompetent

The worst part is we all know, the evidence is pretty stark at this point and 343 is basically just had hiding out from accountability at this point.

They went full on denial mode

Yeah but I’m pretty sure they’ve mentioned this to Microsoft. I bet they foresaw this being issueAnd try to addressing it. Anyone passionate enough to claim anything for the work they love. There is a lot of good aspects to the game and it shows that there was a lot of love put into this game and the development. I’m truly just giving the benefit of the doubt that they definitely brought this to Microsoft’s attention prior to the Beta release.

Quinn Delhoyo (I forget the sp) also left recently (shortly after Infinite’s launch). He has been the lead sandbox designer for the last 9 years or so at 343. Which means goin and his team help design the weapons, equipment, vehicles, and how they all balance and function together.

So I could see it being difficult to make a roadmap and commit to, for example, “Season 2: 3 new weapons and 2 new vehicles incoming!”

He left but it could have meant his contract ended and he is due to his 6month break then theu re offer the position. Need multiple ppl of same role type to keep things more fluid. Microsoft needs to help contribute to 343 since its a poster child with a patient for the title infinite. Please Microsoft

He left for a similar position at the studio DrDisrespect started and has been hiring for. He’s gone for good I think, which sucks because I’ve really enjoyed H5 and the core Infinite sandbox/gameplay. I’ll have my eyes open for that studio’s game a little bit now though tbh
