The last content update for MCC was in May, about 3 months ago. Since then…nothing, some playlist rotations, actionsack, that does nothing to fix the many issues that still need to be polished in this game.
Now all we’re hearing from 343 is Halo 5, Halo 5 and oh look how awesome Halo 5 is! This does not sit well with me if they’re going to get lazy on post launch support for a still unpolished game, and then push their shiny new game less than a year later.
They have given up on this game, i just feel it. If there will be another patch, it’ll be only one last. I hate to say it but it looks like were stuck with some of the most annoying bugs in Halo History and they have simply given up.
This is just such a disappointment, I had hopes that 343 was going to continue to release meaningful content updates every month to get this game in a state worthy of the Halo brand. It is definitely not in such a state. While it is still much better than at launch, it pales in comparison to the stability and ease of features in Halo 3, and Halo Reach. The only thing I keep MCC around for now is to play the single player campaigns, I might try multiplayer every now and then on MCC but my main multiplayer fix comes from Reach which still has a vibrant and active community of players.
Well, I tweeted Bravo on his twitter asking about where the rest of the post launch support for MCC is…below in bold is his reply. So good news I suppose. For as long as this CU is taking them I hope it’s major. Maybe an existing and stable post-game lobby? Don’t know if that’s to much to ask for, it shouldn’t be…
Hey Tim, team is working on another CU to address top items. We’ll be talking more details as final testing begins.
I think they have been working on things in the background without announcing anything- for example the friends list started working again a couple of weeks ago and it was broken for ages.
That said thanks for this info - I hope this next CU Bravo speaks of fixes the main problem which is that the dedicated servers aren’t working. There’s lots of other stuff too but if they get those working I’ll be so happy.
