I dont expect updates to come right with the new year, so dont get me wrong, I know things like this take time…like the past 2 months of release.
So, that being said, What will be coming with the new year? I Expect 343 to fully crunch away at balancing, and feature problems like forge maps, light derping, and most importantly custom games…
But I cant faithfully support our new company with the past events, and behaviors of them.
Has there been any news on what they plan on doing with the new year?
Yea I do…right down to section 3 news, and quite frankly nothing conclusive and/or specific comes from them
All I get out of them is " Were gonna do some stuff with this area, and maybe this area, and you’ll all get this within a 12 month period that we have no general time guage/ETA for"
All I really see is this 2 bit of a community manager trying to win over her fans “proving” that shes devoted to the game, and that she lovees and supports the game [not to turn this into another community manager flame]
but seriously, theyre not giving us anything tangible to deal with, from a fan thats invested 300$+ in the halo franchise, I’d like a little more respect with what theyre trying to do, were being left in the dust and just giving the run around any fortune 500 company would do that doesnt have an answer
Of course they’re not giving you a timeline. Why would they?
They give you a timeline and say “The game will have a TU by around Jan 15th”. So then at 12:01 AM Jan 15th, the forums are flooded by intellectually questionable people demanding where their TU is and that continues over and over and over until they get an update.
THEN that’s not even the worst part.
If the TU comes out on time, people will complain it should have happened earlier and then they pick apart EVERY SINGLE CHANGE demanding 343i to answer why the game isn’t changed exactly to how THEY wanted it and to change it now or else they’ll never play Halo X again.
More people will complain, others will claim that the previous Halo X was better, threaten 343i with denial of future sales and then go online and play multiplayer anyways.
It’s just unnecessary waste of time and energy to try to please people who won’t ever be pleased.
The people who are pleased are the people who don’t post on the forums and who play the game.
Well…I know that after this Infinity Challenge Tournament is over after January 20th, Team Doubles and Griffball will be added into the game. Along with Team Doubles will be smaller maps BSAngel said. They are also tweaking Slayer Pro to make it more competitive (hopefully more on the MLG side). Also, there is a rumor that Team Snipers will be returning as well.
Team Doubles and Griffball are for sure playlist updates though due to their high demand.

So, nothing adressing forge maps online, file shares, and custom game options?.. tsk tsk

They did say they are doing all they can to get File Share working properly. Forgot about that. Nothing about the other two. Disappointing, I know.
I spent some time trying to find the Matchmaking Update in the last thread they made buried somewhere between that stupid truck challenge. Hardly an update to me.
