Support NeoGAF

[AnonomissX]

Ok Halogaf, I feel like I have contributed a bit more salt than I really should have, so I want to ask about my concerns in a non-abrasive manner.

1) Will the content update fix the issues with placing forge objects in Halo 3, and 4?

2) will the content update add the hammer to the H2A forge? You gave us the Hornet, I'd like a hammer with that too!

3) Will the content update add back in the ability to join forge and custom games that already started across all Halos?

...Pretty please?

 

[Granadier]

1) No

2) No

I think there's probably blame at all levels, I mean there are all sorts of possibilities at every turn:

-MS needing it before Christmas, not allocating enough resources

-343i not having the guts to say "that is literally impossible," and/or not managing the resources they had well enough (like, apparently just shitting the bed when it came to testing)

-Subcontractors not letting 343i know the true situation in their little pieces so by the time they came to light it was too late to derail that marketing train.

On the network part is not having Dedis MS/343's main problem then??

Also after MM is fixed, we need file share search back!

It could be MS shoving that new, apparently bug-laden API down their throats, or it could be 343i or whichever contractor was in charge of the networking system being unable to get it to work... for whatever reason.

Honestly, I think the overarching blame probably lies with Microsoft for not scheduling the time and resources needed to complete the project by the time it was needed. I can't imagine a project of this magnitude being done without a lot of decision-making above 343i's level.

It's definitely all on Microsoft at this point, they built 343 to develop and the manage Halo IP, 343/MS is practically interchangeable. So when it gets bad enough, like the state of MCC is, you go up the chain of command.

Oof, that too!

Funny, been watching a bunch of pre-game stuff on TV, and they were showing a variety of groups and individuals who applied to get a free ticket to the super bowl. Over and over it was stated how they loved the game, how it meant more than just football to them, the community was so vital.

343, it's the same for Halo. This should have legs, this should be the all-you-can-eat buffet where you can play a different Halo every day, every hour, every match if you like. Go old school in Halo's 1-3. Appreciate Halo 4 in context. Flit right over and dive into Halo 5.

All with your friends, all without having to reboot your console, all with the ability to join and leave, choose a new party/session leader. All without breaking up as you move from customs, to matchmaking, to forge to check out that cool new map you're working on.

Or do they really WANT us to be able to do that? MCC currently says no, Halo 5 says possibly yes.

I want to love and play all of it. I want to feel positive again. I want that generally happy Halo community again.

 

[Granadier]

Come on guys, calm down. These are far too many feature requests.

 

[Overdoziz]

Will the content update

no

 

[AnonomissX]

no

Will the MCC...ever?

Let's go Seahawks. Whatever happens!

Halo 3 BTB is just agonizingly slow.

Record the game, let 90 minutes go by, then watch it, blow by commercials, halftime bullshit, catch up live in the 4th Quarter.

Only if you lose all your vehicles.

Super Bowl is starting, I don't think anyone would find many players right now, lol

No as in actually playing the game it's slow.

Only if you lose all your vehicles.

Or if you get spawned in some random corner of the map where vehicles don't spawn. Avalanche is so big.

You mean the corner where the man cannon is? Just go up there and get cannoned over to the middle.

Also MCC BTB likes to not have games at 8v8, so the pace of the matches are slowed thanks to that as well.

More of the reason why Sprint is needed in Halo.

There's a couple of spawns which are very annoying. One right down at the very bottom where there isn't any man cannons sucked. The movement speed is just far too slow in 3.

Aw hell naw. Vehicles 4 lyfe. I will be ecstatic if they figure out how to cram a Grizzly into 5. A Vulture would legitimately blow my damn mind.

It would be nice to have some more vehicles in 5. Can't wait to see how they're going to fit vehicles in with the movement sandbox.



Haha. The superbowl is so American. Edit: How many ad-breaks are there?

Hey guys, been a couple days since I checked up on HaloGAF, so what's...

ohhhh.

I should really be accustomed to this at this point, lol.

[VisceralBowl]

It's the perfect time to utilize MCC's rubberbanding and issues for something like this:

8/8

Well since there's no lawsuits being made then It's safe to assume it's all of MS's fault.

So apparently there might not even be a beta for the update? https://twitter.com/Brav/status/561696227050262528

Odd. Hopefully that means it was working better than expected, and everybody'll get it.

It's probably working better than they anticipated and maybe they'd rather just release it worldwide then do a limited beta to see etc. I know a few people weren't happy they couldn't test it because of outside NA or pros who were told not to sign up because they couldn't play with those who didn't have it.

 

[RBK]

It just becomes a open beta.

Simple.

Thought that might happen after reading Frank's post the other night.

Jem doesn't use a mic?????

Eh, who does?

Yeah, I thought that was an odd one. Who actually uses a mic when solo queuing?




I have actually played a match where a couple of guys were talking. I put my mic in to apologise for being so laggy.

 

[User 73706]

to be honest i usually game while i'm on the phone

it's a really easy way to consolidate time considering they don't have any substantial overlap (in 5G)

I hope 343 just release the patch to everyone rather than a preview beta, and then tweak it from there.
