I haven’t been keeping up with all the news updates but what’s happening with the title update?
Some game I play have no bloom, some have less bloom, some have damage bleed-through while other don’t and some have fall damage and some don’t.
I don’t know what version of Halo I’m playing.
Personally I hope 343 eventually stop trailing this thing and apply it.
And when they apply it they need to commit to it and apply it to ALL playlists. I think it’s weak to keep certain rule sets for some game types and certain rules for others. If they’re gonna take bloom out, take it out, if they’re gonna leave bloom in, leave it in. Either way they just need to make up their mind. They need to commit and say “ok, this is how Halo plays, it has these physics and that’s final” instead of “well, if you play objective you have this but if you play slayer you have that but not the other”.
In Halo 3 when bungie released the TU that was it. For better or worse the game was changed.
343, you can’t please everyone. If you keep 3 different rule sets for your game to keep everyone happy, it becomes messy and incoherent. Halo is not a fast food restaurant where you can choose your physics like sides … Uhhh, I’d like the Slayer burger with extra bleed-thru but hold the fall damage. Halo is not a democracy, it can’t be designed by the audience. Be firm 343, you’ll upset some people no matter what you do but if you just keep testing and trying to please the experience of Halo will become muddy and lack consistency. Right now it lacks coherence.
Please make your mind up so the game can have a consistent feel across all gametypes. I don’t care what you keep or remove or tweak, I’ll trust your judgement. But please just make a decision and commit to it.
