They should have done another delay for Infinite. An extra year for flights for players to test builds of the game would’ve helped a bit. There would be a whole year of player feedback and more times to finish up the game with everything that a Halo game should have at launch. 343 obviously didn’t think we’d want another delay but there was a large amount of people that wished the game got delayed another year.
Edit: Also, what we had wasn’t a Beta. Beta’s I have played comes out a month or two before for players to play a bit of one of the most recent builds of the game. The flights we played were from earlier in the year with problems and a battle pass that wasn’t even in the final game.

There are so many things wrong with BTB amongst other things in Infinite. Like the UI, it’s terrible. Reach had the best UI in my opinion. But I wasn’t wanting to compare this game to Halo 3. Sadly I have recently have starting holding Infinite to Halo3 standards. Halo 3 was made with so much love and care with so many tiny details to the game that to this day I am still finding.
Well, I don’t want to throw assumptions at 343 but I doubt they even tested anything on LAN or Internet. They probably played a couple games and went, “this works fine.” Reason I say that is in all their ViDocs for 4 and 5 you rarely see them all together testing out their game or playing it together. Literally in the Halo 5 ViDoc they get excited over opening a Req Pack and talking about how good it looks. Never once did I get excited opening a Req Pack. It was also the cringiest thing I have ever seen in a ViDoc.
Bungie in their ViDocs showed them playing together, having fun, split screen and talking about what they love in the game. One of the biggest things that has stuck with me from one of Bungies ViDocs was, “If it’s not fun in the first 5 minutes we start over,” or “if it’s not fun we don’t put it in the game.” 343 doesn’t even have a ViDoc for Infinite so we don’t know if they tested Arena or BTB to see if they actually enjoyed it with how it runs. This is many of the reasons why I do not believe they tested their game before release or flights.

They have made it pretty apparent they don’t listen to fans besides delaying the game to fix the graphics. Me and a whole community of players who play as Elites have been asking for them for years. All of them have stayed on Reach for over 20 years now. They are still playing MCC.
But yeah, the random weapon spawns is dumb along with the weapon pads in my opinion. They have talked about comp on many occasions yet they don’t seem to understand one of the things about comp. Counting the time to when a weapon respawns or a vehicle. Me amongst others have tried to give that feedback of taking away weapon pads that tells you when something is about to spawn. Now we have a color wheel showing us when it will spawn so you have about 3-4 people camping a spawn to grab the weapon or power up.

Playable Elites is so minor in the grand scheme of things where your game is functionally unfun or broken.
Think you missed my point on the fact that, They Don’t Listen
Testing would imply quality control.
I don’t even need to say anything else, we already know that doesn’t exist at 343.
And you don’t seem to understand we won’t even get playable elites if the game remains revolting to touch.
