There are two scenarios here, one that paints 343i as a liar or one as inept.
- 343i, fully aware that there were catastrophic problems with matchmaking, made the conscious decision to let the title go gold and pressed the discs with the known error, hoping they would have it resolved and slipped into the 20gb update on launch day. Which evidently did not happen.
This would indicate 343 has been dishonest with us since the beginning, and cannot put any faith into status updates they are feeing us.
- 343i was completely oblivious to the game breaking errors lurking in the matchmaking system. This indicates they absolutely have no idea what they are doing and Halo 5 is about to be some hot garbage.
Either way, stay away from Halo, the series is not in good hands, the name has been completely ruined either through deception, or ineptitude. Either way, I will not be finishing the fight, as the fight is too buggy.
Thanks for nothing 343, Thank you Bungie for spoiling us more than we ever knew.
See you, Pregame Lobby Side…
