I called it ever since the December update came out. I knew this would happen. People were having such high hopes for the January update, and look what we got served. A big steaming pile of garbage.
Not a single new mode or permanent playlist
ANOTHER remixed map
ANOTHER rehash Warzone Assault map that should’ve frickin came out in last months update
And surprise, surprise! WE GOT MORE USELESS REQS!!! Yes!!!
I knew as soon as I found out that Battle of Noctus didn’t have an Assault variant, all I was saying was, “Watch, they’re gonna use the Assault variant of BoN as one of their BRAND NEW EPIC WARZONE MAPS in next months update. It’s going to be one of their ‘headlines’ for the update. WATCH.”
Seriously 343. You guys are a complete and utter joke. Yet people will STILL go on these forums, and other places, and try to defend 343. WHY? Do you guys really want this game to die?! It has already dropped out of the top 10 most played games on Xbox Live! 3 months after launch. Why do people INSIST of not improving upon this game? STOP DEFENDING 343! People who say to, “stop being entitled,” and, “you get what you get so don’t throw a fit,” are KILLING the community just as much as 343 is! Why are you people so INSISTENT on letting the game go out how it is? It seriously amazes me how much ignorance there is.
Now, people might be thinking, “Well, the updates will get better in the future! We will get some REAL arena maps! You just wait!”
Sorry to burst your dream bubble people, but that ain’t happening. People, wake up! We aren’t going to get a single NEW arena map. Again, I’m calling it RIGHT NOW. The next “BRAND NEW ARENA MAP!” is going to be a remix of the Rig. We are going to get NOTHING but REMIXES people! Think about it. We got 6 dev arena maps at launch. If they make one new remix arena map per update, that literally spans the entire content plan. All the way up to June.
Sorry people, but if you’re expecting HUGE features to be added into Halo 5 later down the line, you’re being played. It’s not going to get ANY better.
Here’s whats going to come out in nearly EVERY update starting in February:
1 REMIXED Arena Map
1 Warzone OR Warzone Assault Map
2 new (or old) Armor sets
(If we are lucky) A new gamemode
More useless REQS
And if our lord and savior Tom French want’s to bless us with his greatness, a new forge canvas and a working file browser.
Of course it’s not. 343i have never done proper dedicated and meaningful post launch support. Just like Halo 4 and MCC, by the time the “it gets better” content comes, people will have left already.

Yeah, I saw that kid. He’s probably not old enough to understand what’s happening to Halo. It is literally DYING right in front of our eyes! And people are letting it happen, ACCELERATING the death even.

That’s literally their business model.
“We finally get it right just before our next game comes out!”
Next update there will be a new Warzone map titled “It’s not going to get any better stop defending”. It will be the bloodiest, most intense Warzone map yet. Featuring massive three-way battles, players will face off against hordes of critics and fanboys alike, with 150vp bosses such as [Redacted] or my own personal cameo.
Yeah, the lack of a new gamemode is pretty lame though, but everything else is pretty par for the course with how these updates usually go.

343 just needs to not develop ANY REQS for a whole month, and use that month to, idk, finish what people are asking for.
I agree with most of what you said unfortunately. I do however think updates will get better and we will get some original maps. They’ve already confirmed we’re getting new forge canvases, pre built structures and new game modes are coming. Assuming they’re actually listening, Halo 5 can only get better.

It doesn’t work like that though.
Maybe the REQ guys could be modeling new weapons instead of new armor pieces, but that’s the extent of what they know how to do. Putting them on standby doesn’t solve anything.

So lay them off and hire people who can create meaningful content.

Or just keep them on-board and hire new people anyways, I doubt 343I is even close to struggling to meet their budget.
Though who says they don’t already have enough people? Maybe the people they have just aren’t working hard enough.

Yeah, but anything to do with forge is with Tom French. He and the forge team are the only tolerable people at 343. And they actually REPLY to people who ask them questions! They’re not shady at all. Any question you ask Tom French, he will straight up answer, and actually give you INFORMATION on what they are doing. As for modes, yeah, we are getting new modes, but only like one or two per update. Actually, not even per update, It’ll probably be every other update.
So yeah, Halo 5 can only get better, but not if it dies from the pace it’s actually improving at.

Gosh darn it you just proved yourself wrong by quoting and replaying to his post.

Actually, it DOES matter. You do know there’s not a group of “REQ” guys who do REQ content right? Let’s just take the SPNKR for a second. First, it has to be modeled in 3D by one group of people. A different group of people do texturing, and different paint jobs for it. A different group of people do the sound affects for it. A different group of people do the reload and melee animations for it. A different group of people do the coding for the physics AND the different variants for it.
REQS take more resources than you think man. Maybe not the simple loadout weapon skins, but things like Armor, Weapon and Vehicle variants, DO in fact take up more resources than you think.

Let’s break that down:
3D Modelers
Texture Creators
Sound Designers
Animators
Programmers
The last three are almost entirely irrelevant to giving us new maps (and even then a lot less modeling and texturing goes into a Req than it does a new map).
Everyone but the last one is entirely irrelevant to giving us new gamemodes.

Are you retarded? Programmers are the people who make the f—ing game modes you moron! Also animators are needed for maps for eveything that moves
