More hate fuel for the Haters.
Have you gotten a chance to play it yet? Pretty fun, but I'm not that into fighters.

I have not!
However I've been following the development since announcement, and it looks realllly good. 97% of impressions have been positive, which makes me even more excited. KI was my favorite franchise before Halo, and I've waited SO long for a sequel.
It's pretty much the only reason I'm getting the Xbox One at launch over the PS4

I am not looking forward to SpOs in Halo 5.
Maybe in Halo Wars 2

I would like to believe that the vast majority of issues with spartan ops, were due to technical limitations.
Im willing to give them another chance.

If ODST firefight comes back

I agree. With custom options for FF.

Topical.
Sadly connection had little to do with that.
I hope they fix Spartan Ops. Its current iteration is absolutely terrible. I see what they're trying to achieve with the mode... but eh. If you're going to serve up some washed up copy and paste overly scripted clusterfuck, why even bother? Do it right or don't do it at all. Otherwise you're just going to get another two years of people saying that they want Firefight back.

And bosses, like mini seraphs or wraith waves.

Make Spops a separate Co-op Campaign and bring back ODST fiefight in Matchmaking with customizable Reach options for non-Matchmaking.
There, Halo is saved but not really.
I know where to put it.

The system OS and network integration was written by a group of people who do not play games. They dont understand why things were set up in the ways they were designed by J Allard back in 05.
i dunno sounds legit, thats exactly MS these days, just a bunch of "programmers" "engineers" and a bunch of "execs" and noone fucking knows about gaming.

I'm afraid to open up Gaming Section.
Guess it's a good thing I'm not getting either console at launch. Was trying for Christmas... but if the problems are really that big. I'll just hold off until Destiny/Halo if need be.
I'm skeptical about all of this, tbh. Way overhyped for an article that doesn't have a lot of confirmation.

To be fair, this Dodd dingus and his wife have both been spewing booty juices all over twitter about joining the winning side by getting a PS4 and other very definitely unbiased shit. The fact that he hyped these UI problems up to being the Ballmercaust could pose some legitimate problems, but at the same time he also didn't post the article on GAF in favor of getting some debatably-deserved blog hits.
Even if things do go to shit with the XBO launch (which they can and will), I can't say this dude's really the best platform to rally under.

I don't know what to think anymore. I think it's weird he posted it on his blog and not GAF.
And even if these problems are there now, Microsoft is literally throwing money at their programmers to fix it. It's interesting to think about the ramifications if these issues remain at launch though. Especially with 2 huge multiplatform FPSes coming out.

I'm really hoping when the Xbox One finally launches, half these "TRUTHFACTS" turn out to be bullshit. I just can't believe this. :/

This is why I generally avoid things at launch, except Halo games (gotta get in on all the sweet turbo BK action).

Just don't get it at launch and wait a bit.

posted in the comments of that article:
take with a grain of salt (obviously)

I do the same thing. Give everything time to iron out major issues and then join in. Launch hype tends to get the best of many people. (i.e. RRoD and Colonial Marines)
Won't matter to gaming side.
Kinda cool to hear halo at 1080p and they've been working on the tech for 2 years, rumor of course still; but one that's mildly believable.
I imagine pre production started on 5 as soon as 4 was finished, probably during!

if that comment is real, then yes it would be very interesting.
there's no doubt 343 will push the tech to it's limit.
It could be true, but verified insiders are saying basically the opposite.
"Verified insiders" lol lawdy

Definitely during. The workload of artist, designers, and programmers, etc isn't completely balance throughout the process. For example, what I think happens is generally the beginning of a project is programming-heavy since they're working on the core engine (and probably concept-art heavy, too) but light on the general art since formats and resource requirements are in flux. Later on, the artists are crunching to make everything now that things are more or less settled, but a lot of the programmers don't have much to do since the engine is more or less complete, so they start working on the engine for the next project. If that makes sense.
Uhhhh you basically just agreed with a random anonymous comment on someone's blog
I think I can trust posters that have been nearly spot on over that.
edit: not to mention gerstmann just backed it up http://blog.jeffgerstmann.net/post/65304165708/this-is-still-breaking-news-but-do-you-want-to
Next gen in general has gotten so worse since the console announcements. Features missing, issues in development. On both sides. It feels like every day there's something new.

You know, since the third console curse is a thing and it looks like fourth consoles turn out ridiculously powerful / effective, the Xbox One Two is gonna be nuts.

From what i understand COD is 720p due to optimization and not enough time. in theory next years COD will be 1080p and 60 fps.

NOOOO THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE HOW THE HELL WHY MICROSOFT WHY-
Lol fuck CoD I don't need it. Thank you 343 <3 Excited for Halo 5
I can believe it, seems to be based purely on facts, and hell, even admits to negatives like CoD and Battlefield 4 not being 1080p. Also gave us our first leak on the Day One update, it's (or is around) 2 GBs. So if we find out the update IS 2 GBs, we know his entire comment is true.
Come on! I believe!
This shit always happens. It's just that with the way media is these days it spreads faster and there are easier methods for people to make their voice heard. It's not like PS4/XB1 are the first consoles to ever run into issues.

It's far from over, you never experienced console launches? There will be arguing and stuff for years to come.

I....... cannot wait for this game.
Let's think about this. Halo 5 is running at 1080p, right now, and it has been in development for 2 years.
Halo 4 was announced to have gone gold on September 26th, 2012.
So you mean to tell me they've been working on Halo 5 one year before Halo 4 went gold with an incomplete team and a lot of development problems?
If this is "mildly believable" then how are you accepting this as a Halo fan? I'd be pretty upset to find out that resources were deliberately spread thin and/or outright cut on Halo 4 to begin working on the next Halo. Isn't that what people were calling Ozzy crazy for?
Yet.. a lot of us here are crazy fans to you though, amirite? :]
