I have been playing Halo from the start.
Since 343 took over (Microsoft) they have delivered nothing but lip service.
We had a 1st flight feedback because most of the feedback was good and oh did we also mention “ No forge” No co-op” on release.but the micro transactions will be up and running.
2nd Flight got a lot more bad feedback and if you hang round these forums and Reddit you will know.
343 did not want to address these and as they had no time left to fix anything They didn’t want to say that, but hey the micro transactions will be working !!!
343 treat the fans with utter contempt.
If you think not…,you ain’t been here long enough !
I feel your pain. At this point there isn’t much they can do before launch except maybe tweek the playlists and tune the weapons and features. All I feel they are doing is releasing footage and trying to appease the masses instead of being transparent and fixing issues like they said they were going to do going forward.

Forge isnt some basic crap like Halo 3 anymore. I think they plan on making forge a huge software of its own. Meaning a lot longer to make.

yes they said they wanted forge to be a full game maker
I was hoping to see the 2nd flight feedback too. I don’t know if they have much time for big things, but at least touch on some little tweaks like weapon balancing. I really wish they could tweak some of the vehicle physics, but maybe not.
I wouldn’t be overly worried honestly, this is supposedly a long term GaS endeavor, so meta data and feedback won’t just vanish at launch.
It might be a bit rocky at launch or not, either way the time between the launch and the Campaign/Forge add-on will probably have tweaks and bugfixes, which why I’m a fan of the delay and staggered rollout.
Not saying things can’t go wrong, but more so just pointing out that 343 is 1) seemingly listening and 2) setting itself up to have wiggle room.

As a True Original Halo Fan, I fear a repeat of the mistake 343 made with the release of MCC Broken addition by the time they got it working all but the die hard fans had returned it refusing to try again.
By the time Forge lands and co-op lands the player base will be low and those two potential winners won’t attract people back.
shame…Oh and I hate the thought of those money hungry people turning Halo into a casual blast em up.

Yeah, I don’t think this is true at all. 343 is doing their best to make a great Halo game. Anyone with even a shred of intelligence knows that you can’t please everyone. So, of course we’re going to see posts on the internet expressing dissatisfaction. Maybe you are suggesting that 343 doesn’t care about the “True Original Halo Fan” (nice self-aggrandizing title you’ve given yourself there). I’m not sure why so many think that if you’ve been playing Halo since CE, that your opinion carries more value than someone that started playing in the last 10-15 years. And since it is obviously important to you, the first time I played Halo was in a Game Stop just a few weeks shy of 20 years ago. Am I a part of your “True Original Halo Fan” club?
Anyways, if you played in any of the flights, I would expect your outlook on the game to be a bit higher than fearing another MCC launch.

I don’t know how you could compare this to Mcc.
Mcc: no flights/betas
HI: 3 flights with 100k+ players that went off without much of a hitch
Mcc: trying to string together multiple game engines and get them working, some on a new hardware platform
HI: a refreshed /rewritten - single - engine already tested by the masses on the target platform
Mcc: basically non functional MP for 2 years. After 6 months MP worked sometimes
HI: multiplayer tested and functional before launch. Forge launches 6 months after, isn’t a core mode, and will complement multiplayer
Mcc:not a mainline development
HI: the next mainline game
343 got the feedback they needed from the second flight. They’re not beholden to share that with us.
