Since when is it acceptable for a developer of a AAA title especially one funded by microsofts blank check to release a game with so many flaws. I just don’t see how you can defend it and say wait for an update. I didnt pay 60 dollars for features like File Share, and Custom game options to be added later. And crappy brown and grey DLC maps.

When I buy a game I would like a finished product, and then they talk about how hard it is to fill bungies shoes when 3/4ths of them came from bungie. All they ever offer is excuses, not only is the gameplay terribly broken and more CoD then Halo, but they cant even get good servers for their broken gameplay.

Then they make so many OP weapons and make them available on a loadouts, the entire gameplay aspect is just complete -Yoink-. My K/D was pretty high when I played because its so easy to sit 3893573890 miles away with my dmr and never have to lead shots.

And this game has basically gotten me so pissed off because I wasted 60 dollars for the midnight release that I forgot what else I wanted to type.

Go ask Bungie.

Releasing that crap Halo 2… making us wait half a year for a TU. Ya’ know?

> Flamebate.

QFT.

OP you must have not been around when halo 2 was first out. And it still had major issues even after TU.

minecraft xbox edition…that is all…

I’m pretty sure that for a game without a beta, it released with very little flaws. Look at the insane glitches that were in Halo 2 after release. And the glitches that were in the 3 and especially reach betas. You don’t see any insane things like that in 4, even compared to other games this year this game is relatively glitch free.

microsoft is called Microsoft for a reason. they wanted halo 4 released before BO2 finished or not

Not to mention there is always the invisible. “Buyer beware.” You shipped out 60 bucks for a game that needed updates. Not 343’s fault. You could have waited like some people and see how the game was before shelling out the money. I do that with most games. Thankfully It’s saved me from one or two big money wastes. Just think smart before you buy. Don’t rush in.

Yes, it should have been done before release date. And to be honest. For all purposes. It was. We had a matchmaking, we had spartan ops, our campaign. Just things needed to be switched around. Hell, it didn’t even have a beta. How else would they fully know things were up if the didnt have a ton of people who dont work there to put in their input?

Since video games take tremendous amounts of highly complex and high trained work to pull off.

Actually, you did.

> And crappy brown and grey DLC maps.

Shatter isn’t grey and brown. Neither is Harvest. And Wreckage is brown and black. Or steel.

H4 is a finished product.

Honestly? I stopped listening when you started off with the same laundry list of reasons why H4 and 343 sucks.

> but they cant even get good servers for their broken gameplay.

H4 doesn’t have servers. If the game is laggy the MMing system might have chosen a poor host. But do check to make sure it isn’t that terabyte download you have going in the back.

This seriously happening?

People -Yoinking!- hitscan being bad and not requiring skill?

> -Every real halo fan.

You do not speak for “every real Halo fan.”

Halo 2, was complete, all the TU was for was bugs and glitches which is VERY understandable, people will always find exploits so bugs and glitches are feasible.

H4, has limited custom games options, lol Forge wtf is going on with that, Fileshare non existant, Ranking not ready, and playlists not added (doubles).

Now tell me in compare that to tell me if they are in anyway similar at time of release!!!
