I'm laughing to death. I'm watching the HCS game. The players have been dropping off the line

that dont mean we acknodlge the issues like at all not all of us jump to that excuse all the time

bruh
I acknowledged the holidays in my response. I said they deserve a break for the holidays. Nobody should be missing this time with their families over a video game.

I know they’ve acknowledged many of the issues, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that they knowingly released the game with these issues. I am being patient. I love this game. I’ve hardly even had any issues at all with the servers. But I know many people have had these problems, and the fact that these issues are popping up on Infinite’s biggest stage is laughable.

What you seem to forget is there used to be a time when video games released when they were actually finished. If Halo 3 released in this state, there wouldn’t have been a Halo 4. You gotta understand that 343i has had plenty of time, six years, to make this game as good as it could be, and yet here we are. They can’t even run a single tournament without having connectivity issues. 343 and Microsoft have dug this grave, and now they shall lay in it until they get these issues ironed out.

I’m sure Microsoft was behind them forcing them to push this game out unfinished, but after 5 years and an additional year-long delay, can you really blame them?

Oh this I’ve got to see. When in the video did it happen?

I’m just curious:

Being that this game can be played over LAN (or is it the ‘fake LAN’ H5 did?), why don’t they kick it old school and avoid all of this?

You know, the whole pandemic thing.

I’m pretty sure you can host a LAN party even during all that. Ethernet cords can be very long, every team can have a room.

Nothing to add here and very on point. Same thing with community update “we knew and decided to proceed anyways”…

True, but you’d also have to worry about public perception and all the other stuff to either A - Keep people safe, or B - avoid the outcry (depending on your opinion). They probably just wanted to avoid all that drama.

early Halo 5 competitive play (tournaments) were god awful as well, but it improved massively over the years (compare 2018 to 2016 for example)

I don’t get it: I thought we were crowdfunding Halo’s servers via our game shop purchases? Are we not spending enough?

Drama avoided, but now your big tourney is a laughing stock.

How long has the game been out and they’re doing torments already?

I guess they got back really good data from their test flights and multiplayer is perfect? (Sarcasm) :joy:

I thought BTB was having issues, I couldn’t imagine what bugs aren’t yet fixed in 4v4 alone :skull_and_crossbones:

The joke is that there was never any difference between the “beta” phase and the full “release” and that people who defended the state of the game before December 8th have simply had to move their goalposts to explain why it has such major technical problems and lack of content.

The joke isn’t as funny when you explain the joke.

My comment doesn’t misunderstand the joke, it heckles it

Well it seemed more like it went over your head since you said “oof outdated reference” when that was literally the point.

Well it is outdated :man_shrugging:

Just ignore the hecklers

Oh no, for once the pro team’s fun was ruined. Anyways…

The game’s not even fully complete yet it’s very bare-bones they released a game and called it a finished product when the game still needed a bit of construction I think they should have released the game but they shouldn’t say that it’s the full game because it’s not the full game
