Very well articulation of the frustration. Although you’re probably wasting you’re breath on those types of defenders, as they’ll always be on the defense no matter what.
I’ve played halo since the original game, 20+ years now, every single game, extensively. I play at a level that’s fairly skilled (low onyx right now), but I have to say I have never experienced anything like the issues this halo has. Please stop removing things that no one asked to be removed or otherwise really complained about. Stop trying to make a game for the broadest audience and work on making the best game possible, period. The broadest audience wants that. The issues in this game right now are absurd. The majority of the matches I play are plagued by poor hit detection, melees and explosions being inconsistent at best, and overall nonsense that simply should not be happening. Fix the weapon jamming issue (priority and hopefully fixed soon by what I have read), but right after and absolutely most importantly, the desync issues need to be fixed. This has led my core group of people I play with to all but one literally leave this game and stop playing. It has become such a consistently bad experience that they refuse to play until it’s rectified. This issue was never present at anywhere near this level on any other halo game released, and needs to be rectified expeditiously. The cosmetics and game modes and all of that should not come before a game that functions properly most of the time. This is an every time occurrence when I play, not every death, not every moment, but it’s so pervasive and common that it is truly ruining the game. The melees and explosions being awful and inconsistent I could probably live with, somewhat, but after getting the first 2-3 bursts on someone (all hitting), then promptly dropping dead and not even seeing them fire more than 2 bursts (and after I began), consistently…it’s just abhorrent. I have thousands of different examples like the above from the time this was released, it’s staggering. My connection and ping are excellent and that is not the problem. This desync issue should have never been allowed to get to this point, and I am woefully disappointed in the current state of this game. The core of this game is phenomenal, truly wonderful in all regards, but if it doesn’t work and play properly, that all means nothing. The amount of time spent working on this game, and the extra year taken, to have this be the buggiest and most inconsistent playing halo to ever be released, is simply astounding. As a life long fan, I struggle with still justifying playing this game in its current state.
- my view of halo inf
a majority of their focus was on profits and not game content quality or game completion it was like 90% profits 10% about the game
my view is 343 industries used the halo brand name hyped train to make a quick buck and used the grace period to continue selling halo merch and promo content heavily, and now that, that band wagon is winding down they are trying to listen to the community more for retention for continual income :< essentially they heavily crapped on halo in the name of maximum profits and are trying to turn around for continued income I want to see the end of halo at this point
Kinda my theory as well. I suspected that a lot of this was purely intentional. And they know that a lot of gamers(especially the younger ones) are basically already used to this “less is more” tactic.
Its so commoplace now to release what is essentially a beta, or even alpha, and drip-feed new content. For a price of course.
Im not playing along anymore. Burned one too many times.
Cpuldnt agree more!! Ive been saying this for ages and im so glad so many others are starting to notice!! Dont understand how anyone can defend 343 after the amount of things they have produced in such poor quality halo 5, halo infinite and now the t.v show! Since taking over the halo franchise they have ran it into the ground!
