I just got that survey thank you pack. Free 5,000 REQ points.

Ske7ch responded on Reddit he was going to look into it and same day he gets it fixed. This dude is awesome!

Finally got that Librarian emblem I missed, now I wonder if 343 will give out those two holiday emblems from last year again, too.

r/Halo is pretty much the go to hub for 343 it seems.

I don't know if this has been answered recently but has 343 mentioned anything about the frame rate dropping on a lot of the maps recently? Seems to happen around bases more than anything else.
 
I think gaming side really shows why any MS 1st party dev wouldnt come here for most feedback.

Any mention of MS and instant scrutiny happens or their feats are shrugged like its taken for granted. The only somewhat positive gaming side thread related to MS i think is the BC one.

So i kind of understand were not a hub to tap into but i really appreciate that they do come here and snoop on us. Talk with us. Relate with us. Play games with us. Gift us and even make fun of us!

I mean the franchise director of our belovrd game tells us stuff. Thats pretty cool to have that connnection with someone really involved in a game i really enjoy.

Anywho. One day we will get an honorable mention with a customizable REQ. Hehe ;)

This game is gorgeous, I can't wait to play it. I was top 100 in 2v2 for a while with my buddy.


Nothing yet I really need to get it ASAP for my work...

Yeah I can imagine you're pretty anxious about that..
It doesn't seem like anyone else has access yet either, according to the subreddit.

You have my hugs.

Yay. =)

I forgot to tell you, a few pages back I was saying how Mythic Firefight wasn't really an increase for XP and RP, but after playing it all weekend and going back to Legendary I can say you were correct in saying it was a substantial improvement. lol

It should still give more.

Man I accidentally betray one person at the end of firefight and I get kicked. Like I get if I would have done it 3 times but fuck that
 
We've had a ridiculous amount of people crashing at the beginning of a match tonight. Hopefully just a temporary thing, since it's nice to play in the same match as your fireteam.

These two issues need to be fixed, like, fucking yesterday.

1) Spawning basically in enemy territory on foot FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
2) Not loading into a match. Literally every other match tonight. This is nearing straight up broken.

These weren't an issue before this update (sometimes you will lose REQs quick, but not this dumb shit).

Weird. I can load into matches in pretty much all arena and warzone playlists fine besides maybe custom games because my game has crashed at times after playing a custom game or sometimes loading one.The former one is really annoying.I get killed before I can react when that happens.

Gave up trying to play and fired up Reach for an hour instead. Lord had I forgotten how insanely aggravating Armour Lock was.

Warzone and BTB kids being the voice that is listened to scares me.

People like this Reiku78 shithead.

Every voice needs to be listened too.
Some of the Halo esports fans are just as scary as this Reiku guy.

The group that is most overlooked are the in-betweeners, IMO.

I'd kill for a ranked team skirmish, for example.

One of the nicest things about a proposed social 4v4 playlist is they could have a ton of map/mode combos in there so there's a huge variety and it'd always feel fresh...

Yet I feel like I play the same things over and over again. I thought it was gonna be the team arena stuff + a bunch of other stuff but it doesn't feel like that after playing it for a bit. The team arena maps/modes aren't even in there I guess... ? Or is the weighting SO much in the favor of the other stuff I just never see them?

I mean I've never played something like flag coliseum or eden strongholds in skirmish... what gives

Skirmish is sorta like arena, But its unranked and isn't limited to hcs maps/gametypes

I want a ranked objective playlist that isn't limited to hcs maps/gametypes... like the good Ole days.

The two existing playlists don't scratch my itch. Team arena has to little variety. Skirmish doesn't give you that they'll of a tight match.

Population concerns probably wouldn't justify it now, by that's really how playlists should be managed: A causal playlist (social skirmish) , a core one (ranked skirmish), and a hardcore (hcs).

If you preordered off of the Windows 10 store, it said early access for HW:DE with purchase of HW2 special edition. It also had Mar 1, 2017 as a temp date for the release of HW:DE. I guess I just assumed that was in a press release somewhere.

What I thought, and what they made it seem, was that you go t"early access" to play the full game, which seems to be what every new game does nowadays. They never made it clear that the game is actually the steam version of Early Access where it isn't finished and still be worked on. Which may not be a huge issue, other then 343 does not have a good reputation at all with games and them launching not broken/buggy.

343i's Bronze Division communication skills strike again. Who would have guessed...

Warzone and BTB kids being the voice that is listened to scares me.

Does that surprise you? Unyshek gotta keep his 99% win-ratio in Warzone or else he will get mad, like Bravo said in one of those CU streams.

Also, Warzone people are the ones buying REQ's. Gotta listen to the crowd that spends money on ugly skins and helmets.

Yeah 343i as a whole needs to rework their PR department. Community wise I think they are doing good with ske7ch but they still need MASSIVELY better or add communication.

aside from everything else, lobby list / custom games browser makes sense as Wars 1 DE wasn't ever going to have a population of note. Half the playlists in the original Wars never even worked due to a lack of players.

But they made boosting for achievements really easy!


And seriously guys, you're acting like they never announced this was early access. It could have been better messaging, but this isn't some 14-day try and play barn-closing.
