So, where are all the people who said that the multiplayer was bad just because it's a beta?

Yeah. Where are my gamemodes guys? Thought y’all said it was “just a beta…”

They left in shame. Absolutely nothing changed. Who could have predicted that???

Good post. It’s really contributing to the discussion here and not making these forums toxic. Thank you so much for your valuable input. /sarcasm

Never said Multiplayer was “bad”

He does have a point though.
They hid a release behind it being a “beta”, which in the end means all the crashes, instability, desync, etc. becomes “acceptable”, because it’s a beta. And then it just carries over to the public release naturally.

You mean the people telling others to wait until release before getting their nuts twisted, “because it’s a beta”?

I’m right here, we’re at release, twist away!

I also don’t recall anyone using the “beta” argument to state or imply everything would by fixed by retail.

I don’t think 343 made any attempts to “hide behind the beta”. They made it quite clear from the beginning that it was the full release of multiplayer. I think it was done mainly for legal reasons (however, I’m no lawyer).
Anyone using the Beta excuse on the forums either didn’t read the blog or was being blinded by hope.

Interesting, I wouldn’t have thought about legal reasons but more about marketing reasons. What is your take on that?

I agree.

Not sure, but I imagine there are contracts all over the place (like with marketing partners) with the game’s release date on them. So they just slapped “beta” on it to try and avoid alleged breaches.

Ah, that would make sense.

they didnt but their loyal fans couldnt accept it and would defend them at every turn

Distracting from his point. It’s a good one, ya know. Might want to join the discussion and contribute something around the topic at hand, ya know. Like you said

Outside of trying to call out ambiguous individuals, this post has no purpose. 343 was very clear that additional modes will come later this month, but not at launch.
