Has there been any word on the game balancing february TU :-)?
There is sure a lot to be done !
It’s coming in Feb…
They are not going to tell us exactly what is being changed so that people don’t exploit things before they are gone. If they said that they are going to nerf the Boltshot, people would put it on every loadout, and use it exclusively, in an attempt to complete the commendation in the easiest way possible for example.
We do know that they are at least looking at adding things to customs, but each thing has to be tested individually and requires a lot of testing. Otherwise, giving people the ability to [insert change here] could cause a horrible bug somewhere else that makes it not worth the trouble.
They also don’t want to say something is coming and then have to remove it when they can’t figure out how to prevent the game-breaking bug that occurs with the change. People would be furious.
There isn’t THAT much that needs to be done. MAYBE nerf the boltshot so it’s more like the plasma pistol (pop shields, minor health damage), MAYBE slow the RoF for the DMR a little, possibly buff the carbine a little (even though I still own DMR users with it)

MAYBE fix the Warthog, MAYBE add classic slayer(4vs AND 8v8), team doubles, team snipers, multiteam; MAYBE expand the limits in forge, MAYBE include options in customs (343 hasn’t confirmed anything yet)… There’s a lot to do, and I want to see it done in that TU. Otherwise, goodbye Halo.

Might as well pack your stuff now, or be prepared for dissapointment.

I know what’s gonna happen in February, but that TU is the confirmation I need to leave this Halo-CoD hybrid.

Pfft they already do anyways.
Getting tired of seeing the same, unoriginal, overpowered loadouts each game. I’ve lost count of DMR+Boltshot users and Jetpack-AR users.

Because asking for custom games content is too much to -Yoinking!- ask apparently…
No word from 343 on any gameplay improvements coming in the TU. So far they’ve only said they are working on exploits.

The warthog is fine imo, people who drive just need to not be morons about it. Driving directly into a horde of enemies…of COURSE it’s going to get destroyed.
Forge limits meaning larger maps? I can see that, but it wouldn’t come in a TU.
Bs Angel herself said that they are looking at customs options but that it takes a lot of testing, just go look in the big customs thread. Her comment is closer to the end of the thread so it’ll be easier to scroll backwards through the pages looking, but it’s there.
All of that playlist stuff won’t come in a TU. Those are things they can add at any time, and they have their way of doing playlists. If you so desperately need to play those gametypes, go play Halo 3 or Reach. It’s that simple.
Team doubles is coming a week from Monday.
Team snipers had its chance, but people didn’t play it. It will be back eventually but if it pulls poor numbers again, they will ditch it again.
