A questiopn for 343i

What is it like to take the biggest dump on and ruin the Xbox’s most successful franchise?

I’m not sure they’d know, considering that it hasn’t yet happened.

Crap on MCC (for just plain not working) if you have to, but H4 is a matter of opinion. And I think it’s just fine. Thanks for asking.

Depending on sales alone, especially how Halo 4 is easily the most sold game, they didn’t do that at all.

lol

I love Halo 4.

What Halo titles previous to 4 had as much or more problems than 4 and MCC?

Halo 2. There was crashing errors, bad balancing, an uncountable amount of bugs/glitches/cheats that you could take advantage of, horribly written code, hit-or-miss maps, bad spawns, an unfinished campaign, unfinished multiplayer, redundancy’s, and the list just goes on and on. I could rant all day about how poorly made Halo 2 was at its launch… But you know what? It’s hailed as the best game in the series, which I can totally agree with. Halo 4 had many of the exact same problems as Halo 2 did, and the MCC had less bugs than Halo 2 did two years after it came out! Honestly, you’ve gotta be joking with this question.

Perfectly legitimate threads get locked for no clear reason that I can see, and yet, four days later, this one is still here???

Where are you exactly getting that data from? Can you provide statistics such as bug tracking and bug count for both Halo 2, 4 and MCC?

Some examples of legitimate questions:

  • 343i, could you please explain why you have chosen to take Halo in the direction of (H4, MCC, H5G, whatever)?
  • 343i, why sprint?
  • 343i, why can’t you seem to please anyone anymore?
  • 343i, why do I feel like you hate me and the rest of your fans?

An example of the kind of question which should get a thread locked for attitude alone:

  • 343i, what is it like to take a dump on and ruin xbox’s most successful franchise?

See the difference?

I’ll tell you how to determine if a question is “legitimate” or not. You put yourself in the shoes of the developer, you’ve been working on this game for three-four years of your life, a lot of work for one project, and someone comes up to you (You know, Human you, with the same feelings as you, you’know, shame, depression, ect) and they ask “Why do I feel like you hate me and the rest of your fans?” Just this super entitled question that’s almost on the verge of telling you what a -Yoink- you are, and how little your work means to them. Honestly, you gonna answer that? Oh, yeah, remember you’re in a professional environment, so you can’t just tell the guy off, you’ve gotta be nice to this jerk, OR you can ignore him, and get to the next question… Oh, right, just as hurtful.

I’ll even reword one of your questions just to show you how to now be that jerk, and maybe get your questions answered:

“343i, could you explain why you have chosen to take Halo in the direction of (H4, MCC, H5G, whatever)?”

EXPLAIN yourself to ME why you CHOSE the option that I’d like least, that’s what you’re saying here.

The way it should be worded if you ever want someone to answer it “legitimately” would be: “343i, would you speak on the new direction that you’re bringing Halo into, and mind talking about what brought you to that direction?”

It’s a lot softer, and doesn’t sound like I’m ordering the other person to answer my question. It’s not a conformation bias based question about how 343i’s is taking a video game franchise in a new direction, and how you happen to feel like they’re somehow wrong. This guys question is just as bad as the four examples that you made, you just didn’t outright say how it made you feel, but under your words it’s pretty obvious how spiteful you are.

Personal experience, especially after playing thousands of matches of Halo 2 over several years. Thousands of glitches, button combos, burns, crashes, save data corruption, audio bugs, ect. Halo 2 had as many oversights at its launch as MCC, and still does years after it was released, that were never patched by Bungie.
