Are you kidding me? I waited for… NO, A LOT OF US WAITED FOR THIS game to be fixed and all we get is a 37mb UPDATE?! What the hell! I was willing to give this game potential and this is what I get? Thanks 343, for proving how completely useless you are. Whatever, I wanna hear what people think.
Discuss
I don’t see a problem with the update. Cry more.
The update kinda broke my game (the menu options are gone, all there are are blank bars). Can someone tell me what was changed?
Actually, this is what it fixed:
Gameplay
• Reduced the range of the Boltshot’s damage scaling over distance. The previous effective range for 1-hit kills was around 20-25’. The range has been reduced to 15’.
• Fixed an issue where modified loadouts were not being saved correctly.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to sprint while crouching using “hold to crouch” would cause players to be unable to shoot for 1-1.5 seconds.
• Fixed an issue where some players were not able to get into matches on new map/game variants after playlist updates.
• Fixed a DLC-related Join-in-Progress issue that kicked players back to the title screen.
• Fixed various issues regarding glitched Autosentry deployment.
• Fixed an issue where one player per session was unable to stay scoped with the Flagnum.
• Fixed an issue where clients playing multi-round matches were not propelled by Man Cannons after the first round on Wreckage.
• Fixed an issue for players who had licensed content for the specialization offer, and had the free Map Pack content, but did not have the Map Pass or Map Pack license by displaying a new error message: “You have Map Pack content that requires a license. Please purchase the War Games Map Pass, purchase the Map Pack individually, or delete the Map Pack content from your console.”
Vehicles
• Fixed issues with friendly fire against vehicles. If FF is disabled, damage/EMPs from friendly sources will no longer damage vehicles that are fully controlled by your team.
• Fixed an issue with where the Wraith secondary turret became disabled when shot with a Plasma Pistol. The feature has been updated to be consistent with previous Halo titles.
• Fixed a Mantis functionality exploit that allowed pilots to survive planted grenades.
Specific Game Modes
• Friendly fire turned off in Flood to prevent exploits.
• Fixed Flood character models to allow for Warthog and Mongoose use.
• Fixed an inconsistency with King of the Hill deathcam.
• Fixed an issue where the Grifball would get stuck in geometry and never respawn.
• Fixed the issue for Extraction where players did not regain full control of their character for extended periods of time after interacting with a site.
• Fixed multiple Extraction scoring issues, including an overtime fix that ensures that a victory will not be awarded to a team who is controlling the go-ahead extraction point when the game ends.
Custom Games
• Fixed an issue that did not allow players to create respawn timers or disable instant respawn in custom games.
• Fixed an issue on Shatter where players couldn’t start a custom Dominion game.
• Fixed an issue where the Ordnance game options reset when scrolling up or down in custom games.
• Fixed an issue where custom game descriptions did not appear in the “Settings” preview screen.
• Fixed inconsistencies and bugs in the final death cam for custom games.
Spartan Ops
• Fixed an issue where the “Dedicated to Crimson” Achievement could not be unlocked.
• Fixed an issue where players in Spartan Ops Episode 6 Mission 1 were able to look around before the vignette.
Miscellaneous
• Fixed a selection of issues where theater clips were missing map-specific audio, including ambient noise and announcer voice.
• Fixed File Share preview images for films and map variants.
• Fixed issues with in-game translations.
• Fixed title screen camera clipping.
• Fixed an issue with Forge pieces and the shadows they create.
• Fixed aliasing split screen HUD issues.
• Fixed an issue where some saved films of Forge games featured no Forge lighting.
• Fixed incorrect “change description” text in File Browser.
• Fixed assorted crashes.
Just so you know also, these are problems that were being addressed and some that 343 felt needed fixing. They are working towards improving the game more and more and are working at it. It takes times.
The first TU is usually smaller things such as fixing bugs. TUs afterwards are usually for bigger things. Like I said, just have some patients.
So your mad because Halo 4 didn’t have everything wrong with it fixed and served on a silver platter for you in the morning. How spoiled are you?
Salty salty tears… 343 is probably using them to season some food right about now.
I am sure if it was a 1.5 GB patch you would be crying about having to download such a huge patch.
> I don’t see a problem with the update. Cry more.
I will cry more, as this is the forums. And for the the TU, I was hoping it would be BIGGER to prove this game isn’t a complete waste. Well, 343 sure showed me.
Wait a second, I’m confused why you stressed “update”. What other than an update were you expecting? Do you not know what TU stands for?
EDIT: You replied before I posted this, so nevermind to the above. Thing is, you;re complaining about the file size of the update. I can’t tell you how little the actual size of the update matters. It’s not like the update was adding new assests, just changed some functionality.

I play BF3, and have downloaded all the updates. Why would I cry about 1.5gb updates?

That was because the servers were down.
They are back on as of now.

Moar*
The update could have saved this game, all they have to do is make the DMR 6sk and the Carbine 7sk.
an update doesn’t necessarily mean a large increase in file size. It can edit what’s already there and barely change the file size at all. At least see what has changed before you start bashing it.

I did have patients, I tried going back to the game, but nooo, that was apparently too much to ask for.

Oh I’m sorry, I just wanted a few things fixed that WERE OBVIOUSLY BROKEN.

Upgrading the Carbine will make the Battle rifle useless
Also, your pole is very biased.
Giving only 3 options that pertain to your views?
It being bad, not caring, and then thinking things were fine before the TU.
Where is the option to vote for the TU being good and being fine with it?
What are we, 12? Do you need to force people to side with you?

Whoa, auto-correct. I’m on my phone haha.
Gave me the wrong form of patience.

Don’t worry the “wahbulance” is coming soon for the OP.
