[Locked] Colony Release Update (UPDATE 4/24)

ske7ch wrote:

hey guys, I understand the eagerness (shared here as well) but until I have concrete info from the team that the DLC content has successfully completed cert and is just ready to be deployed, I'm not comfortable providing any other "target date" for release. The Creative Assembly team is working with the 343 team to get this Colony DLC out the door as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality.

While I understand we've missed the original date (and the second date we subsequently communicated) providing frequent "the team is still working on it" reports don't really do anything to help the situation. At this stage I'm waiting for real info before I can pass along any new updates. So far, I don't have any new concrete details to share. Work continues. Everyone wants to get this content out the door ASAP which, along with ensuring that bugs are squashed and quality bar is maintained, remain top priorities.

Hopefully I'll get some new info soon.

As of now I have no reason to believe that these Colony issues will have a specific impact on the next DLC for May. That said, we are taking a step back to review the timelines for all DLC going forward along with our promotional cadence to make sure it's all aligned. I would go ahead and set the expectation now that going forward, "the 3rd Wednesday of the month" no longer applies and we will manage and message each respective DLC release as appropriate for monthly releases.

What's the game-breaking bug, if we might ask?

It´s a really difficult bug to remove due to its thick consistency some might call it slacking.

Its a bug with the skidders being able to shoot across the map.

I have a friend who made a video of a locust he extracted still shooting at the enemy base across the map which it did destroy regardless of range of sight obviously that bug has been there it just so happens the skitter units made it occur commonly

If you could share the link of that video here, it might help 343 understand how deep the issue is a bit faster and accelerate the debug process a little. Has it been posted online?

It's pointless, you try to get to a certain rank and at the end of the season it gets wiped.
You should ask for them tp bring back the old military ranks from Halo 3 and Halo Reach!

They kind of already have that with your player level, granted it's not as cool

Sketch will this effect future ranked seasons? The new season was supposed to start with the release of the dlc but obviously with it being delayed does that mean next season will be shorter than this season if everything goes according to plan or will it also be prolonged to have the equivalent amount of time to rank up?

All I took away from that is that you're a salty kid with tears in his eyes

You are clearly missing my point "kid"

No. Your point is invalid. I'm realistic. I know asking for them to change their entire ranking system is never going to happen so instead I get information on the ranking system that they have got implemented rather than complain that it's not exactly how I want it

They should copy the ranking system from Halo 3 or Halo Reach for Halo 6!
