If you’ve read the latest posting on Waypoint here, you might have heard the good news. But for those who haven’t read it yet for whatever reason:
> Since Monday, teams at the studio have been monitoring your activity 24/7. We’ve been keeping a constant eye on what you’re playing, which REQs you’re earning, and your feedback from experiences across the game. We’re now taking close looks at things like spawning in both Warzone and Arena, custom game options, feedback on Fireteam display, controls, improving map and game type variety across playlists (including adding additional maps to select playlists), the REQ System, and much, much more. Teams across the studio have made on-the-fly improvements to Onyx and Champion rank display, REQ System maintenance, banning, and beyond. Your feedback on Waypoint, Twitter, reddit, and elsewhere has kept us quite busy, and that’s how we like it. As we review this feedback, we’ll be providing timely info regarding tweaks we’re looking at making as well as new things that are in the works.
This means that we have 343’s attention with all this missing content. They’ve acknowledged the issues right at the start and are looking into them. Now, you might say this is hardly a step at all since it’s just words and stuff. But two things:
Expecting 343 to just magically come right out with all this content that’s missing so darn soon after launch is pure nonsense. Assuming that they are fully committed to providing this missing content, it will still take a bit to get it all made and tested out. We should be patient and give 343 a chance here.
There’s nothing really they can do right now until the content is made at this point in time. But the point is, they’ve acknowledged all this right in the first paragraphs of the article and are underway in getting all this stuff back to us.
The only other thing I can ask of 343 right now is that they will remain completely open with the progress of adding this content back in and be honest with us in the coming weeks.
umm… ok… considering previous games had all the missing content to begin with, i put no stock in that kind of statement.
i have seen Companies make this statement before, and i have yet to see ANY actually follow up on it, its been my universal experience with this kind of issue.
the fact is they intentionally left out a lot of content to push Warzone and Requisition packs.
its as much a problem for them as it is for the players since the lack of content to begin with will drastically alter the lifespan of the game…

Seen it a while ago, but good to spread the news.
Agreed, 343 needs to update the progress and what issues specifically they are working on.
There’s nothing in there about adding new content, because this ‘missing content’ you keep referring to is fictional. The only things that are missing are Forge and BTB, both of which are coming up in the next couple of months, as we’ve known for a while now. It’s good to know they’re looking into bugs, game balance, tweaking systems, and altering which maps are in rotation in which modes, but let’s not pretend there’s some huge raft of missing content that they are now ‘putting back in’.
I was about to rage until I saw the controls part. That better include aiming, this game is really starting to grow on me it’s just the aim is killing my vibe.

Umm…Griftball, Capture the Flag, Team Doubles, King of the Hill, Infection, Team Snipers, and Oddball. I know I’ve missed a few that I can’t remember.

…
Right, right. No missing content at all. Nope. Oh wait a sec, what about this missing content, not even including the complete lack of splitscreen?
Large lack of Custom Games options
Large lack of Gametypes to choose from
No Theater for Campaign
You can’t take screenshots or record clips in multiplayer Theater and the controls are not good at all.
Lack of any playable Elites or even Prometheans of any kind or etc in multiplayer.
Lack of Firefight or suitable offline mode besides Campaign (Warzone, while I’m sure is good, is not a suitable replacement for it as it can’t be played offline.)
No Forge at launch (And yes, I know they’re going to deliver it in December but I don’t understand why it had to be delayed at all.)
Cannot play Custom Games offline by yourself
There seems to be much fewer new weapons/grenades/etc. in this game than were introduced in previous games. But I could be mistaken.
The only thing left to do when the Campaign is finished is to play Matchmaking. And even that is very limited right now due to the sparse gametypes and maps we currently have.

You are the lone voice of reason in the wilderness. Loved the irony quotes. Made my day.

For real. Tracking a target and the retucle bumps off. Hell its the only time it moves quick is when it leaving the target. And i dont want to hear crap frim tirds saying to “get better” i have tens of thousands of headshots in previous games and only seem to get lucky on 5

I got excited to when I seen the first reply edited about missing the part about controls. But I’ve read through the quoted part, and the article itself and Stull don’t see any mention of the aiming or controls. Wtf, am I that blind? Guess that’s why I’m missing all my shots lol
