That’s because there was 0 way to change it. Also even Halo2 had a balance patch, you just couldn’t change the net coding to balance out the br back then.
I feel like what he is saying is valid. Many of the posts I’ve been reading are relatively silly. Whether they should nerf a weapon is a mute point because if you were better than they were then you would be winning with it and your opinion may be very different. I actually think its relatively well balanced. With that said I’m sure a good portion of the feedback is actually really good for 343. I for one am very ready for the next round of maps. anyone else?

Thank you!
You can tell the difference from the old players and the new ones by how they complain on forums about games they are still playing.
I agree with this, I just think the game needs more playlists. Besides that everything feels balanced and is done well.
-Yoink!- straight. More play lists would be a blessing. They’ll be added in due time
Loki TT is right

I think it’s always been two grenades start and that has worked absolutely fine for me and a lot of other people. What is it with you that hates grenades in this game? They aren’t much different except the ability to have unlimited on the back of a gungoose, which makes sense to me and is plain fun!
Well, a lot of the complaints are legitimate and will make the game better for EVERYONE. 343 already said they are working on the aiming for those having issues. They said the maps and playlists will come. They said they are looking into the spawns. Thanks to everyone that has supported this game and WANT it to be better for everyone.
I agree with Op, the gameplay is solid. I think its the best Halo MP to date since Reach. Kudos to 343 for trying to implement invasion through warzone assault. Can’t wait for the new updates. I do have a few personal issues such as how games and maps and gametypes are chosen. In warzone I play on the same map like 3 times in a row and barely get capture the flag but frequently get strongholds in Team Arena. That can easily be fixed in patches/ updates (which brings me to my next issue) to add more gametypes/maps (new or ones from launch).

I agee, having a ball playing this game. Also find what you are strong at playing and stick to your style and practice the others your not great at. Good point.

> So because you are personally having fun any and all complaints, suggestions and criticism are invalid? That isn’t how any of this works. You are free to disagree with the criticisms, but a game that neglects any and all suggestions is doomed to failure.
And from what I have seen 343i tends to be one of the more engaging and cooperative of all devs with their community. Constructive feedback is always a good thing, it can introduce new ideas. What bothers me is the people who say this sucks, or it is completely unplayable, yet do not offer any opinions on ways it could be improved.
!!!Ignorant fanboy alert!!!

> As for your point about “whining about a game rather than enjoying it back in the day”: that’s not true, frankly. People have always had opinions, but what they lacked was a way to contribute them by suggesting changes and influencing the direction of the series. The internet and its uses in 1997 shrivles before its ubiquity and utility in modern times, and while this does mean that people with non-issues now have a platform from which to complain to a wider audience, it also means that more voices can contribute rather than “deal with” things that were annoying, irritating, and outright broken.

> And incidentally, Goldeneye was never good. I hated it back then and I hate it now. I’d only put up with it because I knew we’d switch to Mario Kart after a few rounds.
XD you’ve gotta be one of the most right winged extremists i’ve seen in the forums in awhile what gives you the right to decide what is and isn’t a good game? i mean for real who the -Yoink- do you think you are mr hollier than thou? You’re over hear arguing as if you know everything there is to know about games along with arguing as if your points are anymore true than the opinions of the ones you argue with. I enjoyed goldeneye does that make it game of the year nope but the fact that thousands of people enjoyed it does same with the old halos and this one you can try to nitpick about something in the game but fact is they did bring in revolutionary mechanix to the halo franchise.
- a.i.s in the multiplayer tbh i hate this mechanic i’d much rather be able to deal with just the enemy themselves but fact is it’s something people have always wanted in halos multiplayer just cause i hate it doesn’t make it any less awesome that they put it in there
- 24 player cap finally after bungie refused to up it for 10 years
3.cgi was damn near flawless in the cutscenes of the campaign - dedicated servers another popular one that’s been being asked for since h3s launch
and i could go on point is they did all that for the majority and they are happy about it ya it’s nothing groundbreaking in the game industry overall but for the HALO franchise itself it’s a pretty big deal if you’ve been playing since ce. Plus fact of the matter is the op is right these aren’t assumptions that’s what people in the comments have been complaining about is the game being inconvenient for them cause they can’t adapt to the new guns,maps and game mechanix that’s all i’ve seen people complain about in h5 and that’s what he addressed so ye your points are invalid my boy 
You may try to chalk up more complaining now compared to then as a result of the internets evolution and to that i say wrong again i’m not sure about you dude but i knew very few people who were going to keep a game they hated and despised they returned that -Yoink- and got there money back unless they were hella incompetent. Yet goldeneye had some of the fewest returns in that eras time frame.
If people wanna voice their opinion that’s fine but there’s a difference between reporting a problem such as there was when mcc released and whining about personal preference in terms of game mechanix a constructive and logical post is fine explaining why you think it should be like this but sitting there attacking the people who released the game on there choice of gun spawns is something a 12 year old on her first period would do.
Totally off topic but is anyone else having trouble connecting to the servers? I’ve been trying to connect for awhile now
i like this guy
What would make the game better for me is to make halo wars and reach compatible with xbox one or add them to the mcc. they added odst now they should add the rest.
I want the free DLCs now
agreed
It should be considered in OP’s statement that the game doesn’t appear as solid for everyone, though. I mean it’s fine if you think the game’s solid, but someone like me wouldn’t see the game as solid if there’s something like Warzone Assault’s Armory capture cheat giving attackers a head start to the core. For me, that’d be game breaking, because you wouldn’t have the time as a defender or attacker to gather REQs for a stronger offense/defense. And that just kills the gametype overall.
And realistically speaking, if your performance is gonna be altered by the variance of lag between every match, there’s gonna be expected complaints from those who care about their competitive standing, repeatedly asking for better dedicated servers or a fundamentally different ranking system.
Gotta add, some people don’t know how to compromise as well, so something to consider there when arguing/discussing game flaws.
On an unrelated note: There are also those like me who tend to have minor pet peeves that really aren’t worth forcing down people’s throats. Though the vocally entitled are most likely gonna bring it up.
