My friend the point of my reply was that 152 will not be enough to bring many 152s back not that it should NOT be fixed, but your other points are still worth addressing. First where I agree with you that Ideally fixing a coating should take less than a single work shift to accomplish.
But this is a coating. Fixing some colours and lighting. Were talking a couple hours, a day tops.
Yes this is true,…
yet it has not happened and I truly believe this is more rationally a sign that 343 has either made an impossible to modify game or even more likely that the greater issue are so great that they require literally ALL HAND ON DECK, compared to the alterantive that 343 is intentionally trying to PO its H5 fans.
Given this likely pulling even a single hand away for a day to work on coating means 1 more day without those other issues being fixed and that is far more important than being able to show off our insane commitment.
We deserve that armor, the armor we were shown.
Hey preaching to the choir, we worked and were promised somehting and given something else. Seems straight forward that we got screwed. But the screwing already happened and lets be honest its not even the top 10 most offensive broken promises in infinite.
Most of the community gave up on 5, while we stuck with it. Played the crap out of it. We deserve that armor, the armor we were shown.
Yea we stuck with a sinking ship, some of us out of obsession and very few of us out of passion. But this does not make us any better or more deserving than the rest of the community, and when it comes to the current game that we are all sharing…its just freaking broken man, like it doesnt even operate as a basic game in the modern sense so what’s the point of even showing off on this broken title?
I mean with Recon or the Haunted helmet when I got them it was very fun because the game was popular full of social players that would call it out, knowing they’d never go for it themselves they thought it was even cooler to see someone who had it and I remember getting many shout outs or players inviting their friends to the lobby to see the Recon player or the Inheritor in the crowd.
But nowadays with the sweaty and enimic state of Infinites community I dont see any such similar banter arising or even the same pride that came from the achievement in regards to proving ourselves in popular games vs simply sticking with a game “that most the community gave up on” years prior as you put it.
If they did fix our coating before the other things I know not only would I not get the same pleasure as I would in a thriving and popular community, but that the community that is left may not only not appreciate my armor but see it as yet another sign that 343 wont work on anything except to promote their past title while thie game whithers and dies.
And so,
It could give them a W in the string of L’s they’ve had lately.
I dont think this is correct. It wouldn’t even qualify as a W or many of the other 152s I grinded with because we are so over trying to show ourselves of on a broken game by wearing an armor that at most signified an unhealthy obsessions with the single most controversial halo title prior to infinite. Not only that but it could turn into a further L when it fails to satisfy 152’s with nothing more to look forward to and aggrevating justfiably impatient players waiting for infnite to be fixed
Like where is the pride anymore really? what is the point of showing off if there is no one there to care and those that do just see it as yet another symbol of seperation in the community?
Still not absolutely saying that it shouldnt be done if it really were that easy (which i get it, it SHOULD be), but just trying to explain that it will do virtually nothing to improve community moral and has an equal if not greater chance of decreasing it to the same miniscule ammount it could increase it.
It’s just not relevant anymore, just like H5 hadn’t been for years prior to infinite, just as the entire franchise of Halo is becoming under 343. It’s all very sad but when I reflect on my grievences there are so many that Watchdog doesnt even render in my mind anymore.
