Embarrassed for 343 yet again

How do you discover a game breaking bug the day before you start a beta? It should be an old build that you know works and you know will let you test the systems you’re wanting to test. You want to test your servers? Well then make sure before you schedule the beta, that you have the ability to test the servers.
So don’t go saying ā€œthis is what a beta is for!ā€ No it’s not. It’s for getting data on the build, and currently they are getting zero data at all. And yes I know I’m not entitled to play. I’m not even mad that I’m not playing a beta right now, I’m just embarrassed for 343 that they can’t get anything right ever.

literally what flights are for…to discover bugs/glitches/issues.

I don’t remember them saying that it was a ā€˜game breaking’ issue explicitly and just a late issue they encountered, chances are that the build itself is actually fine as they likely would have locked it down at least a week or two ago, but probably ran into an issue on the MS side to get it on the Xbox store or with deployment in general. There’s a lot of things that happen after the build is locked down that the devs aren’t in control of that can still go wrong.

At least that’s my guess as I sit here telling myself everything’s going to be ok

Lol did you read???

How many bugs are they getting the public to test right now? The number is zero. They are currently just doing their own internal bug testing which is not a ā€œbeta flightā€ lol

I’m so tired of seeing this B/S comment everywhere. Can’t wait until this actually releases and you are absolutely WRONG and it’s still just as much of an embarrassment as right now. Especially because of how much this was actually supposed to ā€œtestā€ the build. So ridiculous, how hard can you keep sucking off this corporation on their behalf? Criticism is necessary, dude.

Would it have been better to play a broken game that we can’t even test or a working game that we can actually test? Frankly, it’s better that they actually found it and are fixing it rather than seeing the forum filled with posts like: ā€œGame is literally unplayable.ā€

P.S: Not saying we shouldn’t criticize, or saying that 343 is in the right. Just saying that if we want to test the build, we want the build to work, period. I promise you the backlash would’ve been worse if the game was unplayable.

Imagine caring so much that you start a thread about it. Talk about embarrassing.

Here we go! A little something. Looks like it’ll be starting tomorrow.

Look at how mad you are over a delay. Could you imagine how mad everyone would be if the game crashes when you try to play it? The goal is to have a lot of players, you can’t have that if the game is nothing but bad reviews. Delay as long as they need to, they delayed it a year already and it’s sooooo much better now🤤

Man you have some issues. Flights are meant to test and break things, and submit ideas, request, criticism, and praise. Which is exactly what’s happening. Keep your sour -yoink- to yourself, as you’re not contributing anything useful.

Are you really surprised though given their track record? This is expected tbh.

I’m not salty about having a game to play or not at this very moment. I want a complete game. I’m embarrassed bc they somehow can never get it right. Everyone defending this massive corporation like they are a baby to coddle. This is their third mainline halo title and they can’t even get a beta working properly.

Yeah. Sure seems it. Even though these problems don’t even seem to actually get fixed. I.e., same -Yoink- happened deploying last time. Wow, great progress 343!

A game developer found a bug on pre-release software that they are trying to fix before a test flight. Sounds to me like you are the only baby in this situation that needs to be coddled.

What are they testing right now? Hmm? Is anything being tested by the public? What bugs are the public finding? What stress is the server being given? They scheduled a flight to get data, and they are currently receiving no data. How can you not understand this concept? Nobody is breaking anything or submitting ideas or giving criticism or praise or anything bc THEY HAVENT RELEASED THE BETA TO BE BETA TESTED BC IT’S BROKEN. L

The amount of arrogance is immeasurable, you clearly know nothing about software development and you contradict yourself constantly, I’m not shilling for 343 but please have respect for the craft that you clearly have no knowledge of.

news flash - there’s tiers to all this. People have been playing Halo infinite for a long time, just not public flights that you’re so upset about. Likely one of those select few discovered something.

Right! They scheduled a beta to stress test the servers. Correct? I’m glad they have internal testing! Every developer should. But if they are scheduling a massive test for thousands of players, maybe you should be ready for this test and not find our a few hours beforehand that your build is busted. That’s why they use a months old build for the first flight.

They are concerned with testing servers when they don’t have a build to give us in the first place. That’s why I’m complaining. It’s indicative of the issues they have at 343.

Imagine coming onto a Halo forum to hope for failure… The comment stands true. Technical Previews are designed to help discover bugs to improve the launch. Whether the game is riddled with bugs at launch or not does not change the fact that these previews are designed to discover game breaking bugs. The matchmaking for the scheduled technical preview has not even been delayed.
