Dear 343,
I was not surprised that after the Memories Of Reach Update that the the Forge was virtually untouched. Nevertheless, I was disappointed. I have literally only ever encountered game breaking problems regarding forge in 343 games. This may mean nothing to you, but I have been forging since Halo 3. This means I have a history with forge, which contains pleasant memories from both Bungie’s and 343’s games, but all, and I mean ALL the unpleasant memories spawn from your broken games.
But don’t get me wrong, Halo 5’s forge is amazing. Its very complicated and elaborate and you can honestly create pieces of art with the system. It truly is Halo’s best forge EVER. having said that it is the buggiest.
As you probably know, (probably being up for debate), you have a lot of issues to fix. Which is fine its a new system, its very powerful there should be plenty of them. But you clowns don’t fix them, in fact the problems get worse every time you add something new to the game. This is 343’s tradition, you release an unfinished game, update it so it becomes a broken complete game, then patch the issues that never end because every time you fix something it breaks something else. I would like for Halo 5 to not be broken by the time Halo 6 comes out.
The problems with Halo 5’s Forge have been around since forge’s launch a couple months back. Problems that were never apparent in previous games. For instants:
- If there is no spawn points on the map or no spawn points on the ground, when you load the map you will be frozen in the air unable to move, forcing the creator to delete their creation. I remember deleting all objects including spawn points in Halo 3, and I never encountered this problem, EVER. - Sometimes objects glitch, meaning the player cannot select them. Sometimes all you have to do is reload the map and the problem disappears, but other times the problem is permanent. Forcing the creator to delete their creation. - Sometimes when you’re Grouping objects Or Welding objects or Ungrouping objects the entire app crashes. Seriously? - Forge is an online playlist. This is not a bug or glitch this is just dumb. If you have a less than perfect connection it is IMPOSSIBLE to forge. I repeat, IMPOSSIBLE. - And finally my problem, and I say my problem because no one else has this problem or at least hasn’t reported it, and believe me I’ve checked. So my Rotation Snap is broken, and this is as game breaking as it gets. The axis in which the object rotates on is altered. It seems the axis in which the object rotates on is relative to my Character as apposed to the object itself. So when I hold the trigger to rotate the object, the axis pops up but on an angle that is relative to me instead of the object. And if I keep the trigger held and move my Character the axis moves with me. For example, if I rotate an object 90 degrees it will rotate the 90 degrees but on an angle relative to me instead of the object itself. So if I’m looking at the object at like 32 degrees the axis reflects the 32 degrees and when I rotate the object 90 degrees it rotates 90 but on a 32 degrees axis making the rotation snap useless making Forge broken. I have changed the pivot type, I have looked for answers from you clowns, I have uninstalled my game and I have downloaded your update- it is broken. You guys suck.
With much love,
