You may have noticed about 10 threads about updating the matchmaking playlists etc.
But you seem to have avoided the thousands of threads that state real problems in Halo 4.
These include, but are no limited to:
No toggle for join in progress. &
No good connection search option.
I think it’s great that you are adding a SWAT playlist and updating matchmaking. Unfortunately this update is rendered USELESS to anyone who doesn’t pull host consistently.
The fact of the matter is that I’ve only played one good connection game so far out of many. Every other game has been foreign host. How do you expect people to play swat while lagging horrendously? Let alone any other playlist.
I really feel you have let down millions of people world wide that have to play on terrible connection.
Next joining in progress. I’m unsure if you are trying to encourage winning in this game or just stat -Yoink!-. Because to me it seems to be the latter. Joining a game on the losing team with 3 kills til they win. Yeah right. Stats ruined. It’s horrible.
I really hope you take the time to read this.
TL;DR: Update good connection & JIP before SWAT because it will be unplayable if you can’t search good connection.
Lag is insane! One game you destroy and really think your finally getting the hang of it, next game your having to 3 shot a guy with no shield. pure B.S. Kill cams…they’re just a joke. They should be called rage cams because thats all I do when i watch them lol
Holy crap, the kill cams are nutz. Sometimes the guys cursor juts suddenly in a weird direction and it looks like he has some type of aim bot, a really bad aim bot that aims at the floor.
When this stuff happens, a three shot dmr death is so much fun as well.
Lag isn’t something they ship with the game y’know guys… I’m not sure how you expect them to fix the fact that electronic information doesn’t travel around the globe instantaneously.
Lag is in every game, even in optimum conditions. Its a question of “amount” and tolerance to it. Besides, the kills cams are hilarious sometimes and its the only thing keeping on the game when I’m getting the crap beaten out of me.
I’m happy they touched on the double exp + cap bug, but they never mentioned if the games that were lost are gone for good or not. Having lost 30-40 games myself, it would be pretty good information to have
> Lag isn’t something they ship with the game y’know guys… I’m not sure how you expect them to fix the fact that electronic information doesn’t travel around the globe instantaneously.
Ehh, maybe we expected them to fix that problem like the earlier Halos? Good connection search.
Killcams doesn’t work.
Join in Progres might be the WORST conecept to date!! I want to win game, not get thrown into CTF games where opposing team has 4 caps and my team 0!!! How in hell can this be even remotely okay in 343i’s minds? This is ridiculous!!!
> I can see why it’s upsetting folks but am I really the only person who can deal with it until it’s fixed? :I
That is, assuming it will get fixed. 343 willingly put this stuff in their game and obviously put some time in it (talking about JIP and Kill Cams now). I don’t know if it’s safe to assume they will fix it when the community starts complaining on day 1. If they give me assurance that they will, then yeah, sure I will wait it out and deal with it.

Well, constructive criticism is always welcomed by 343, but outright complaining with a disregard for any human decency will just be ignored. I don’t care who people are, if someone wants something from me they’ve got to talk to me like a person before they can get at it.
But that’s just me. :I
Not saying you’re doing that btw, just saying in general.
My only problem with the game so far is the Join-In progress system.
Because they assume people will join in, they start the games off unevenly most of the time. Just played a game which started 5v2.
This then highlights a snowballing effect in Infinity slayer. Cause if a team are constantly dominating, they are constantly getting power weapons through Ordinance drops.
Patch this.
Take out Join in progress and implements a real punishment for quitting (ie you lose EXP)
