Dear 343 Industries
Halo 4, as it is, could of easily been the best Halo ever, and still can be. But . . .
No europe codes for specializations? wtf, why would you do that? Not that you didn’t f!!k up releasing codes for everyone else. F!ck you for ripping us off.
Next time you make a game, do a f!!king beta so that all the bugs/glitches that are currently in the game can be fixed/patched. And include a f!!king manual too you lazy -Yoink!-.
Why make a game with as much potential as Halo 4, then not bother to add enough playlists & maps to keep us interested? Im so sick of the same 4 or 5 f!!king maps, especially as I only like 3 of them. In Reach, we were getting new maps every month. Now, like many people, I get bored of matchmaking within 4 or 5 games. Because 343 are too f!!king lazy &/or stupid to update their -Yoink-. No wonder you keep your phone number hidden.
What angers me so much is how uncessarry all these issues are, and the lack of communication & transparency from 343 industries. I’m yet to see any sign of remorse or acknowledgement of any of this except when the servers locked people out of matchmaking.
If you want anyone to buy Halo 5, sort your -Yoink- out, sooner rather then later. And f!ck you again for the uneccesarry fustration. Im not in the states but if you give me a cell number, I’d be happy to talk to someone about this properly, because you guys need talking too, clearly.
I don’t like being ripped off, so f!!k you again, you’ve nearly destroyed my interest in Halo. Im sure Im not the only one who feels like this.
I’ve had a strong feeling lately that Microsoft is to blame for everything we hate about Halo 4. I think 343i is just as mad as we are about certain things.

why do you think bungie left microsoft and joined forces with one of microsoft’s greatest enemies… activision?

>implying that joining activision actually makes activision better
we’ll just have to wait and see how Destiny, bungie’s next game, turns out.
What an elegant way of trying to put your point across
Why is it, that self entitled, attention seeking little people, feel the need to make thread titles with abusive language, then proceed to rant away with more abuse and then ask why 343i dont engage and interact with the community here on the forums
Dont like the game, go play something else…grow up, deal with it and move on

Bungie left because they were tired of Halo.
And Activision is one of Microsoft’s “enemies”?
You mean the same Activision that puts game on the 360 that sell an amazing amount?
That Microsoft makes money from for every copy sold due to licensing fees?

Its not that they lack the playlists i belive its more of they way there going at it.

I think 343i really wanted to make the best Halo game they could. But Microsoft pulls the strings.

Yeah it was a rugged post. But sometimes the Queens English isn’t enough to get the point across in writing passionately enough.
Do you disagree with anything I’ve said? When they explain what happened with this Speciazlization B.S I might calm down a little bit. But they probably never will because they already have our money, why should they care?
Look at the state Matchmaking is in. Everytime I look, 90% of all players online are either in infinity slayer, big team slayer or swat. And it seems the numbers are getting lower everytime I look, which isn’t suprising.
It’s unbelieveable. We need some answers. or resolutions, quickly.

Maybe choosing this Thread to defend isn’t the best time to throw this point across…
But screw it, I’m sick of hearing “Don’t like the game, go play something else…”
You realise that the majority of the people that come here and complain about this game, are people that waited oh so very damn long for this game and were praying for it to be something special…
They’re not shouting for the echoes, they’re shouting because even with the ever-so-unnecessary attitude, there are flaws in this game that are just mind-boggling…

Activision are quite possibly the worst Publishers to go to other than EA.
For example, have you seen what they’ve done to WoW?

As I said, giving constructive feedback is one thing, being an abusive little troll because you lack the ability to be polite and civil is another
Most if not all the people who travel here to moan do so because they like to just moan, they do it daily, repeating the same things over and over and yawn…sorry, bored myself there
The ones who enjoy the game dont post due to all the negativity they see or they are playing the game itself
The statement “dont like it play something else” makes sense…if your left arm hurts to move it, you dont dont move it and use your right arm. Games work in the same way, play the games you like, dont play the ones you dont
Crying on a game forum will change nothing, nor will being directly abusive get you any actual feedback or reply from the people you are being abusive too
> The statement “dont like it play something else” makes sense…if your left arm hurts to move it, you dont dont move it and use your right arm. Games work in the same way, play the games you like, dont play the ones you dont
That’s a really… bad analogy.
If your left arm hurts, you try to heal it… you don’t just leave it useless.
But the statement “don’t like it play something else” is stupid anyways. People have a right to complain when a 10+ year old franchise suddenly changes for the worse in a numbered sequel (made by a brand new developer who were handed the franchise on a platter, I might add). 343 aren’t just making a new game from scratch - if they were, they’d have the right to do whatever they wanted with it. They inherited a franchise (and it’s fans), and so they have certain expectations to live up to set by the previous games. At this point, people buy a Halo game because they expect a certain gameplay and a certain quality.
