Downloaded the MOR update today, played some infection, played some Team Arena, and then went over to Warzone. Out of the 6 games I played, 5 of them were riddled with 1 of 2 problems:
-
Game starts, my team starts capturing bases, req levels start going up, and then inevitably I die. I try to spawn back in with a loadout weapon like a battle rifle and nope doesn’t work. Throughout the game, I can’t call in any REQS whatsoever, and neither can a significant portion of my team. Oh but the other team however somehow managed to call in an initial warthog, a few BR’s and a binary rifle, and proceeded to mop the floor with us because of that advantage. 3 times the teams started out equal, 3 times my team had the early lead, and 3 times we lost that lead and he game by a wide margin because we couldn’t use anything else besides AR’s and magnums. I realize this has been a problem since release, but it is absolutely RAMPANT now and there’s no excuse. The update caused it- nothing else could have.
-
The game never starts in the first place because once the lobby is full and the map begins loading the screen gets stuck on “deploying” and never does anything. Game doesn’t load, an error message never pops up and brings me back to the main menu- No- now I have to dashboard and quit the game and just hope it works next time. Again, a problem that never happens pre-update.
This isn’t a nitpick or complaint about something arbitrary like map design or Falcons. It’s a REAL technical problem that I’m not happy with. Imagine my frustration where I’m trying to get my Warzone win/loss ratio back over 50% and I continually keep losing games because the games not working the way it’s meant to. I’ve calmed down since last playing, but being forced to deal with enemies constantly kicking my -Yoink- cause I can’t match their weapons is horse -Yoink!-.
I always try to put myself in 343’s shoes and give them credit where credit is due, and the stuff MOR brings is great, but this is a serious issue and it’s not acceptable. They’ve been working on this update for months, had a longer time in between releases to fine-tune this update, and it brings such a game breaking glitch to a completely unrelated game mode that effectively breaks it. Please get on this.
