TLDR: You nailed the campaign for continuing Halo, however while multiplayer is great it does not work correctly, fix multiplayer while you try to satisfy everyone complaining only about the shop and keep making YOUR game, YOUR code. Make sure you perfect the code/game/service/product you are providing (as much as possible, if certain things cannot change be upfront about them so people can at least decide to accept them) Coding and supply is actually just like working with people, you have to work it out and nobody with a brain is going to disagree on this. (to clarify: NOBODY HERE should be upset because EVERYONE has brains and the only people here or read this clearly care about Halo to an extent that is tangible)
I hope you read this whole message bellow, issue Iām submitting about however is instability in multiplayer matchmaking regarding ping and/or not being able to join games FOUND by the matchmaking system, examples found in all multiplayer modes. Below is your hopeful reading.
I want to state this first, just to throw some weight behind my following comment: I say this As someone who works in tech, and is one of the few people to get Solaris 10 to work on coffee lake hardware and later for a company such as Raytheon,ā¦:
Please, fix your matchmaking/networking errors and if people are making things worse editing host files to narrow down servers, at least state that is part of the issue. I have nothing but respect for you all working on the game but from both my player perspective and a business perspective I wanted to attempt to make a statement just to try to highlight something that should stick out as a bigger issue more than the mainstream complaint about monetization issues, as you have said that is a work in progress, you wont hear people spending money already complain anyway and they exist, meanwhile there are serious networking issues that could be fixed/worked on, or at least have transparency behind them. This is how you can keep players around playing long enough to even see whatever changes happen with monetization, customization etc. happen even if they are the people in the pool complaining about the cash related options within this game. Literally every other aspect as far as saying this is the Halo engine for ~10 years is a comment from you directly, you have/are and continue to address monetization issues/complaints but please address current gameplay issues, multiplayer or campaign alike.
