343 PLEASE RESPOND

Okay enough is enough guys. I WANT A RESPONSE. Prove to me you are listening. Tell me what a dedicated server is because my definition and yours might a little different. I can’t keep defending you guys when it seems you don’t care.

Why must I sit here with my friends and wait 20 minutes to find a game on expanded. It’s now impossible to find a focused game, it’s getting near impossible to find a balanced game. That however doesn’t even scratch the surface of why I have officially blown up, because whenever I find a game I am instantly kicked because of fireteam changing. I have no clue how that works? Certainly isn’t my end causing the problem because I’ve tested it on other games. Now I am losing my Commendations too! Are you taking the piss!? I understand problems happen, new faults can arise but for the love of god guys, you are making more problems than resolves. Your ranking system is garbage, why must my team consist of golds and plat vs ONYX a champ? How is that in any sense balanced? If you’re in Gold you should vs Gold, if you’re Diamond you vs Diamond. ONYX and Champ are the same tier they can vs each other. Yes you guys have brought to us a fantastic game, it is fun when it’s working but it just seems that it is rapidly going down hill. I love Halo I am very passionate about the game, as are many of us here on the Halo Community, we just want to see the game do better, we want to be able to play the game, we want to know what is going on and what you are doing to help resolve these reoccurring issues. I don’t want to put down my controller, but I will, and so will my friends if that’s what it takes.

343 PLEASE RESPOND.

Calling out is against the forum rules. And I think this is but I might be proven wrong so don’t take this personally.

Should I start playing Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” yet?

Um no. But just my opinion

What would 343 respond with? As is typical of these posts, there isn’t any worthwhile information to act on.

Trouble matchmaking - what region are you in? Are you lone wolf or in a fireteam? If you are in a low server population region, then obviously it will take longer to find enough players for the match. That isn’t 343s issue, that’s your local population.

Mixed team CSRs - are you lone wolf or in a fireteam? If you are in a low server population region, then obviously you will be matched with more mixes in order to get you into a game (i.e. if there aren’t that many Golds to pick from at that time, they put in people with higher CSRs). That isn’t 343s issue, that’s your local population.

> whenever I find a game I am instantly kicked because of fireteam changing

How have you verified this? Also, if you know the cause, then don’t change your fireteam.

People complain so much and don’t even stop to think that they are complaining to the wrong people.

Regarding commendations, this should be resolved now, or at least everyone should see things starting to clear up

Yay thankyou for a response to one of these issues!

I live in Australia, last time I checked we had a pretty big population! I am almost always in a Fireteam consisting of 2-4 people. You most definitely cannot tell me that there are not Gold players out there. That is the stupidest statement I’ve ever heard. Telling me out of tens of thousands of people playing the game in my region that each person in my fireteam are the only golds?
I have in fact verified it yes. Did it get fixed? No. Am I posting this to the forums because I’m annoyed that nothing gets done to fix the problem with my game that I spent money on, you bet your -Yoink- I am!

Idk about you T182 but normally when I play in a fireteam with good mates I don’t exit out 0.5 seconds into the game. Not that you can exclude yourself from the fireteam mid match anyways (bit of common sense would tell you I’m not causing my own problems).

> People complain so much and don’t even stop to think that they are complaining to the wrong people.
> Oh yeah sorry may have missed that one! The next time I have an issue with 343i’s dedicated servers I’ll go contact Treyarch to get the issue resolved. Because according to you the developers of the game don’t know how to fix their faults. Comments like these are the reason why I cut myself to sleep.

Ah ok, wrong wording then on my part, I have calmed down a bit more now and don’t want to cause a ruckus but my gosh! Sometimes, I just want to Frisbee my XBone out the window.

I’ve literally never experienced it difficult to find a game. Now, I’m no Onyx, but I’ve still yet to experience any delays in matchmaking.

I got the stereo ready

Knowing 343 they couldn’t be bothered responding.

First of all, there is a support forum, which would be a better place to bring up connectivity and matchmaking issues.

Here’s the link: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/e0d9938206f04a598ce84f2c8cadce02/topics

And your original post was lacking. Note how much clearer a picture there is when you provide answers to all of the questions I asked. Simply demanding to get a response to a post in the wrong forum that has no actionable information is childish. And to respond with the jerky tone just goes to show that you are incapable of mature discussion, further making it unlikely to get a response.

Secondly, I’d love to see your regional population stats with a breakdown by gametype. I didn’t realize these had been made public so please share the link! But what you are failing to account for is the fact that matching isn’t based on CSR alone, and it includes things like latency as well. Also, people have complained a lot about fireteams going against lone wolves, which would likely be mitigated by pairing up fireteam to fireteam, further limiting your ability to match up, especially when you consider the group latency overhead in your situation. So instead of finding 4 other Gold CSRs, you are trying to find another fireteam with an overall similar CSR rating that’s also got a good enough latency to make the experience enjoyable. My guess is that 343 would much rather you play a match where the gameplay reflects the designer’s intent, rather than match more quickly and have a laggy experience with a lot of player dropouts.

As for “I am instantly kicked because of fireteam changing”, I still don’t know what this even means. When someone joins or leaves your fireteam, you leave too? Instead you just say you’ve “verified it” (without saying how), when the issue isn’t even understood.

So again, before complain about something, make it as easy as possible for the people you want help from to give it!

Drell Assassin just say a few words to prove him wrong.

Thanks for listening 343!

lol You actually think they’re gonna respond let alone actually do something. Wasn’t big on 343 and then FF came along and they still haven’t fixed it even though it’s incredibly easy to fix. If they haven’t fixed the MP by now they’re probably never going to, just do what I’m doing, stop playing move and on to your backlog.
