Re: Dedicated Halo 5 Thread

[RockMetal&Time]

Now we need a race gametype to make it worth playing.

And Infection, Oddball,Assault,KOTH,Griffball,..



crud...

[Stevedoggen]

Grifball*
and Hammers in general would be nice.

[Neesy]

How can they push their dead competitive Halo scene without oddball and KOTH present?...

[Heatguts]

Watch some celebrity make a throwback video where they play grifball and it gets really popular and grifball becomes a huge esport and everyone buys xbones to play MCC.

[Mootjuh]

Too bad MCC is still broken for many.

Cannot truly customize armors, cannot use Halo 4 Armors in Halo 2 Anniversary Multiplayer (& Vice Versa), Exclusive Relic Map, Excludes Example Map, Excludes DLC Halo 4 armors, Forge doesnt include all items, Cannot Customize your own ODST or have Firefight. Need I say more?

Actually Griffball Hub has been communicating with 343i since Halo 5 was in development on how to improve Griffball
343i KNOWS griffball has it's own competetive scene with big prize pools and fans I mean with Halo 4 it was like the only competitive scene out there lololol /s

343 is just saving it for later so they can be like HURR DURR HERE'S SOME FREEEEE STUFFF!
I'TS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAH FREE YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! KIDS WE ARE GOOD GOYIM DEVS WE GIVE STUFF TO YOU OUR FANZ!

They also fucking know that the community is thirsting for Infection, Oddball and KOTH, I'ts just that they are once again... ahem saving it for the "FREE EXPANZION PACKZ"

GRAVITY HAMMER FREE DLC!!! LOOK AT ALL THE FREE SHIT WE'RE GIVING YOU!!! PLEASE LOVE US!!!

The hammer has been in every main Halo title since 2007. It's not as much of a "free DLC" as it is a patch-in for a weapon they forgot/didn't have time to implement before launch. Rather than focusing on unique weapons, they were more concerned with having 2 different energy swords, 4 kinds of battle rifles, and 2346546 different pistol variants. None of which can be forged except for the defaults.

Not to be a butt, but there's at least 3 different energy swords, over 15 battle rifles (not counting them myself I'm sure rmt has the exact number) and exactly, get this, TWO pistol variants. One regular one that you use in arena, and a silenced "automatic" one you can use in warzone. That's it.

Unless we're talking about skins. The magnum has the most skins by like two or something.

Make MCC great again!

If you're asking how it's actually broken, like, not missing features but properly broken in the game, there are quite a few instances I have faced myself, all after the game was 'fixed'.

Multiplayer I only ever played one custom game, because the lag was mindblowingly bad (it clearly was more than just my connection, I played other games to check) and like 3-4 disconnections in a game. So that's still buggered.

You will see how bad the connection is, this is right at the end of it, and note that I can't back out of the results menu for ages, I try to get out for like a minute, then an alert appears onscreen WHICH I CAN'T CONFIRM. The button is there, and I'm tapping A, it was plain broken. So the video end abruptly because I turned my console off at that point, I'd had enough.

As for campaign, Halo 1 has multiple sound-error moments where for the best part of a minute, half of the audio doesn't play correctly, like guns are entirely silent and shit. I have a video of this, I'll find it and link it from my DVR.

LINK: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Stevedoggen/video/13083228

Also other things like straight up crashes, some to the menu, some to the Xbox Dash.

The Main Menus have their issues, sometimes the customisation button will cause the game to crash, only fixable by console reset.

That sorta thing.

Halo 5's Main Menu, however, is in a league of its own. The thing is non-functional 50% of the time. 343's QA team need their asses kicked.

[Stevedoggen]

Nope, sorry, I have to have a b*tch segment here. Hell, I'll do the honours myself:


30% of game starts, Message of the Day doesn't load, pauses for 20 seconds, errors that they can't retrieve my data, play offline or console reset. Can take upwards of 5 resets to play on a bad day.

Sometimes more: https://twitter.com/Stevedoggen/status/681675750374805505

50% of correct startups will disallow everything for any number of reasons including:
Can't start Dedicated Server.
Can't Match Players.
Can't Access Matchmaking.

and my personal favourite, whatever this is:


Req packs sometimes plain LIE to you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVTzZVfIl-s

Yesterday my ranks reset and didn't fix themselves until I played a game as unranked and it remembered afterward.

Reqs often will error and say they can't be sold. Especially the woodland scout warthog and default mongoose.

Level numbers in partys are wrong most of the time. If it's not saying people are level one, it's spitting out other numbers (One guy told me it said I was 53 but I was 51 at the time).

Getting a party into a game is difficult. People often stay in the party but are kicked to the menu for no reason. Happens both in the middle of the game, but more primarily as the game starts.

Exiting matchmaking after a game doesn't always. Sometimes it ignores you and sticks you into a game a minute later. Usually it won't let you out of the game startup screen, but it can let you out and into other menus, but still load you into a game. (I was at the choose arena gametype menu, but in my spartan armour choice menu)
^^Happened once, don't have footage but I was confused af.

TL;DR Halo 5 needs menu patches.

Yo wtf is all that? You sure that's not Australia Exclusive limited edition Menu?!

[SilentGamer64]

Spoiler:

In all honesty though, everyone should have seen this coming given 343's track record. The new stuff they're adding is just way too complex, to the point where I'm starting to think that some of their own staff doesn't even know what they're doing. Or maybe they're too busy hyping up "free stuff" that should have been in the game at launch to notice all the bugs/glitches that are increasing as they pile more free DLC (patches) onto the game that would have been spotted and squashed had they completed the game with all the content expected of a Halo game present before launching it in the first place.

[Stevedoggen]

Assault Rifle Headshots need nerfing. 3 unshielded headshots or 6 unshielded body shots to kill? That favours spartan chargers far too much.
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Stevedoggen/video/13672947
skip to middle, cbf re-recording this.

Also in reply to talk bout 'Aussie exclusive' glitches, mate, any self respecting dev would plan for latency to at least some degree. I have some, sure, but nowhere near enough to justify this much brokenness. Face it, there is a huge amount of this game that should be stored local and not online specifically because of rubbish like this. 343 are a bag of d*cks.

Aaaahh the ol' Doya AATEANE switcharoo

Went into theatre, and looked for part of the game where I spawn kill a wraith like the terrible person I am, and had trouble finding myself (literally as opposed to metaphorically), I wasn't even on the scoreboard for some reason.

Well, after finding an abandoned scorpion that I remember commandeering, I waited and found myself, but something seemed a little off. See if you can spot it.
