The game wasn't ready yet

The only thing that actually works is just playing ranked or social, but even that has trouble working sometimes. Everything to do with custom games is a mine field of crashes. You have to jump through hoops to get a game mode edited and saved with out it crashing or it even saving the changes you made. Theater has a 50 50 chance of it playing properly and you can only watch one film then have to fully exit to desktop to watch another. Films will randomly be unwatchable because some privacy settings. The servers feel awful most games, playing btb and watching people jitter around makes it worse. The game is missing so many basic features and functions from older games it looks like a beta for one of the older games.

So if all you do is launch the game click multiplayer then click ranked or a social game, the game is ok with bad servers. Everything else is buggy and lacking content. This feels like a actual beta but we know its the final product.

The game play and art style are good but everything else is bad, this is better then the mcc launch only because its playable sometimes. I only hope they stick with it like mcc and make it a good product.

I’m full glad they released it early on Nov 15th for us to playtest then.
And this is to test a full product they intend to set a benchmark with. And with all the constant feedback, they will have to look into it if they want the game not fall into a niche playerbase again.

The 2 flights were amazing, but ultimately did nothing other than to let players experience the sandbox and gameplay and tweak the game based on our feedback, which is why our current gameplay is by far one of the best experiences in a long time.

But the 2 flights also totally didn’t test the monetization and progression system, so us providing feedback on that now is crucial for 343 to tweak it.

Like I said the gameplay is good but everything else is buggy and unplayable. The players shouldn’t be doing this much of the bug testing this close to launch, you get crashes doing basic ui navigation. It feels like a actual beta but its very close to launch and it has a fully stacked over priced shop.
