Anyone in a position of power and influence, actually. As for the ADS issue. I don't see the problem. I've played halo ever since the beginning and it feels natural now. And they didn't remove most gametypes, they simply haven't come out yet (typical 343 suck response). Even 4 and reach didn't have as many gamemodes at this point in their release.Zr0Fear v2 wrote:See, 343 is very slick when it comes to what they say.

Disrespectful to the franchise, and disrespectful to the fans. They come off like they truly do not care about anything negative their actions may cause. I'm not exaggerating... to me, 343 only cares about money. They are willing to lie to people to get money out of them, with no care for any lack of quality or negative experience they create.
If 343 were legally allowed to create an option within Halo 5 that said "Click here to pay $10 and get split-screen option!" and all it did was permanently delete H5 from your hard drive and destroy any inserted disc, and if it had no impact on REQ pack and Halo 6 sales, they'd do it.
There's seriously no integrity at all. They do whatever makes the most money, with no other factors considered.
But in all honestly, I disagree with both of you. When have they lied? Also, disrespectful, to US, you AND me, the fans? They didn't release a half -Yoinked!- forged, like some Halo's did. Also, you do realize, at the same timeframe Halo 4 and Reach had about the same amount of content. And don't forget, we had to pay for Spartan Ops and DLC. As for Reach, that multiplayer was a bit of a mess, fun, but a mess. So take off your nostalgia goggles, and look at Halo 5 objectively. A slightly rushed (by Microsoft, not 343) Halo game, pretty well done, but wanting in the game mode area. Thats about it, right?
Clearly not worth continuing this conversation with you.
A notable example is when they said, upon Halo 5's reveal, that there wouldn't be a penalty to hip fire, because people were worried about ADS making weapons more accurate. Technically, that's true, but only because hip fire is the default state of your weapon and that wouldn't be considered a penalty. But obviously there was a bonus to accuracy for ADS. They didn't lie, but they addressed peoples concerns with some slick word play despite knowing exactly what people were worried about.
And of course the whole not mentioning the removal of most of the gametypes the series always had is a lie of omission because they knew people would be expecting those and would want to know if they were removed.
And the "free DLC maps" thing could very well end up also being a lie of omission in regards to every arena map not being an actual new, unique map. The fact that they continue to not say one way or the other whether or not that will always be the case might as well be confirmation that that's what they had planned (though that may change after people made their concerns clear).
And those are just the biggest things off the top of my head.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft has it covered....this is their flagship xbox title, and they are going to milk it until its bone dry. as long as halo sells the console, they are going to keep the halo universe alive no matter what.Absolute878632 wrote:All I am going to say is, unless you have been in their shoes, don't say a Yoink thing about it.

Give them some -Yoinking!- TIME to do their work. Stop continuously -Yoinking!- about the same thing over and over. THEY GET IT. and they are probably sorting things out for the next build.
STOP BEING -Yoinks!- AND LEARN PATIENCE. it is a very rare virtue now days it seems. especially with the younger generations and their understanding that information is mere thumb-taps away.

really? this doesnt even contribute to ANY conversation... i give up on this forum. 343i doesnt even care to read this idiocracy. and i dont blame them, they get no real information from most of these posts, because all they are is people either flame/trolling 343i as a developer or flame/trolling someone on the forum for disagreeing with their OPINION about the direction of the franchise.Flexite wrote:ThatIsNotGod wrote:Flexite wrote:Good for you kid
There's a difference between criticizing and then just making false statements and insulting people. Calling 343 "lazy, arrogant, money grabbers" isn't constructive criticism that helps improve the game. You've yet to even say what you dislike about current halo and what they could improve upon, all you've done is insult insult and insult.Flexite wrote:I see some of you on here have some sense.

Your argument is weak. This was the core modes in Reach at launch and 4.Fox Olive wrote:first off: at a similar time of launch, reach and 4 had around the same amount of game modes. At this point, neither had infection (just a side note).UnreadGnu03383 wrote:What baffles me is that 343i spent 3 years working on this game but out of all the Halo games, this one has the least amount of content. It's missing playlists such as Infection and Oddball, it's missing Firefight/Spartan Ops, it has no daily/weekly/monthly challenges, many of the maps are just remixes and forge creations, and tons of the game assets are re-used (the home base, the armoury, and the garage in Warzone, and other things like the skybox in Eden/Empire).
Secondly: Spartan Ops was one of the most widely discouraged things from 4. Not very many people played it AT THE TIME. And thus, it was removed.
Third: We do have daily wins, but I'll caveat that one to you, even though thats not really a halo thing.
As for the re-used assets, please tell me how many unique assets the other games had? Like a skybox isn't going to be re-used? an odd thing to complain about, right? As for the home base, garage, etc, it would stand to say that modern buildings, now and in the future are almost cookie cutter things. Especially Foward Operating bases in the military, they aren't designed to look pretty or unique, they are meant to be put up and used effectively. Sure this is a game, and we can throw realism away, but let's be honest, you should never be in your own base and if each base was different, we'd have a whole nother issue on our hands.
