Some Actual Issues 343i should look at.

Alright so all week this forum went up in flames of all things that were just a little off in the game. But 343 wont pay mind to little details that a thread gets little to no attention to, so, if you agree with me, please comment and keep this thread going as to keep 343 informed with what is wrong in this game. Im sure I’ll miss some issues so comment and ill add them to the OP. By the way I’d like to say i love this game, and i just want to help the whole community out by trying to get the messege to 343.

So I’ll start with forge.

-No precision editing (zooming in) means maps will have Z-coordinate fighting, and look messy. Many ascetics, and just smooth map flow relies on this, which can be seen from Reach.

-On Erosion, after passing a certain budget point, the dynamic lighting stops working and makes the map look bland and boring, like a lot of Reach maps. I don’t know if this happens on Impact or Ravine, but it does on Erosion.

-Environments aren’t varied and big enough, making it hard to make unique maps using the terrain, and BTB maps will look similar because of this. Obviously this can’t be changed by an update, but just saying for future reference if another forge map was to be released.

-Not sure if an update could do this aswell, but there is no UNSC flying vehicles, minor detail, but still could be useful in the future, and disappoints me that there is none in the multiplayer.

Multiplayer.

-Multiple geometry holes, causing broken gameplay, and generally -Yoink!- people off.

Complex

Ragnarok

-Abandon spawns = Cluster in the middle of map, a lot of space being wasted.

-Gametype customizations are a huge set back. Practically no customization in flood, and who doesn’t like a classic game of duck hunt? You can’t change the flood’s weapons or armor ability, RIP mini games.

-No Race/VIP gametype, Racing in halo has built a pretty big community, and forgers spend alot of hours making these maps, I feel that it only be right to have it back, as no gametype can really be made to do what race did.

-No Insane gametype. Don’t really have to explain this, because insane, race and infection were the powerhouse of casual customs and minigames.

-There are only 4 maps in rotation for Infinity Slayer, or atleast thats all ive seen (sr 39, mostly from infinity slayer) and gameplay gets stale after a while.

-No objective BTB :frowning: 8v8 ctf on Ragnarok just sounds so sweet

-I know there will be a rotating schedule of playlists but I feel that there should still be more static playlists like SWAT, snipers, rumble pit, and grifball.

Other.

-Haven’t confirmed if this will always happen, but I played through Rally Point Alpha on Shutdown (campaign mission) and had to stop for the night, and the next day the game said i was at Rally Point Charley, so i continued from charlie, and had to redo that mission after i beat the campaign and didn’t get the achievement till I finished it.

-No theatre for Campaign/Spartan Ops, I know this has been said before, but just reiterating that it’s a nice feature to have and the community misses it.

-Just a suggestion, putting a progress bar for the commendation needed to unlock armor pieces. EX: 100/200 splatters under the verdant visor.

-No file system on Waypoint yet (I know this is being done, just putting it in because it is an issue)

These are setbacks, but I must say I’m loving this game, and I hope 343 works out these kinks, because I would hate to see my favorite game series fail.

yes, finally some acknowledgement for some ACTUAL issues with the game. if you’re gonna look at a thread for reference, 343, this is what you should look at

i get lag in the game do you guys do to

Lag is what makes Halo, Halo…lol

Seriously though, it happens and unless either the servers are upgraded or there is a region select, it is going to stay. It’s going to stay anyway, but those might help out a bit.

“Just a suggestion, putting a progress bar for the commendation needed to unlock armor pieces. EX: 100/200 splatters under the verdant visor” Yes. I don’t know about you, but I tend to make slight adjustments and check that sort of stuff between matches. So not making me change to another menu would streamline that whole process.

Also, I generally agree with everything in this list. I miss having an absolutely huge Forge map with no ceiling. One of my favorite things to do is start a low gravity, high speed, fiesta custom game with a friend and we 1v1…it’s pretty hysterical. But now…

lag is so annoying

Thanks OP, good thread which (thankfully) doesn’t bring up debates over OP weapons.

One more thing to add in would be that matchmaking currently still matches people together from completely different sides of the world (I.e. Australians and NZers being matched with US and Europeans).

Cheers

That DMR is OP. Lolol troll. This is a thread about real issues.

I agree with everything the OP said. Hopefully once some time goes by everything will be where it should. If custom games get fixed, I will get way out of physical shape.

A thread on ACTUAL issues in the game? Why are you on these forums? This isn’t the place for you. :stuck_out_tongue:

Along with all of the issues the OP listed, split screen lag is what kills this game for me. On every map except for the tiny ones (like haven) there is awful split screen lag. This never happened in the other halo games (except for forge heavy maps) and needs to be fixed ASAP. I have tested it on 4 different Xbox’s with various Internet connections, it is a definite FRAMERATE issue, fix this right away 343.

I apologize for being rude 343, but you guys clearly should have had a public beta for this game. There are so many glitches and issues with the game (that can be seen within playing for 30 minutes) it’s almost like you guys didn’t have anyone play through it before release.

Please save this franchise before all of the fans leave it for good, thank you

I hope 343 has learned their lesson on letting people Beta test the game now as I’m sure Beta tester’s would have found about the Complex glitch before the game went live.
I also think you should add the spawning system into this list as more often then not you will get spawned into the enemy team, or at least right next to them.

3 WHOLE THREADS ABOUT THE BOLTSHOT BEING OP ALONE!!! WAT THE BLAM???
2 THREADS GOING ON AND ON ABOUT THE DMR/BR (Can’t remember BEING OP!!! WHO THE BLAM WROTE THOSE???

And yet none about the file share on the first 2 pages… BLAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

But seriously, we NEED that File Share fixed! I built an epic Multilevel, Close-encounter and sniper-worthy long range at the same time map. It’s called Drought, it’s on my File-Share but no1 can find it!

IMA FIRING MAH SADDIN LAZAH AT TREE-VOUR-TREE!!!

343i really needs to fix this game.

I’m going to bump this thread, and throw on a big thumbs up. A great request handled with respect.

I, too, see a ton of potential in this game, once kinks are worked out. Matchmaking is an absolute blast. The pace is refreshing, and as far as people complaining about it mirroring “FPS Who Shall Not Be Named,” I believe any similarities thus far are more than not for the better. Great job, 343. Build up the relationship with the kids you’ve adopted, i.e. the 10 year halo vets, and you’ve got yourself quite a community.
