Subject: The only "omg I wanna complain for SUM RAISON" thread

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I notice significant lag when doing any type of multiplayer.

The game runs fine when Im by myself. But as soon as I join someone's game, there is a significant increase in latency, without a drop in framerate.

I cleared my HD's cache, and connected the box directly to my modem, and no improvement.

I also tried other games, and they worked fine. I even put in the Mythic disk, and played Halo 3 matchmaking. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Is there a fix for this?

The sound will generally lag for me occasionally, I would fire my gun and the sound effects will came shortly after.
That might be a problem with your sound connection to from your Xbox to your TV. It could be an HDMI problem. I seem to remember experiencing this a while ago, and changed to Component which corrected it. Or, if you are using external speakers, there could be some type of delay.

I doubt this has to do with the game itself.

Everyone is experiencing this. EDIT: Well not everyone, but most.

It is not due to the internet or network connection. It has to do with code within the game's disk. Someone mentioned that it could be a memory leak or something. I don't know for sure what it is though.

I'm not sure how easy it is to fix this, but hopefully Bungie can correct this, cause it is a major issue that can't be solved by simply getting a better connection.

Ok, I have Gold, and my brother has Silver. We played through the Halo 3 campaign on Legendary co-op, we both received all of the armor permutations that you unlock upon completion. However, a short time later, when he signed in his were gone, but I still had mine. Then today, we played through part of ODST on Legendary co-op. When we were done, we both had several of the characters unlocked for Firefight, so we took a break. Now, upon signing back in, I have the characters still but he doesn't. He's pissed at me and insists it's my fault for playing single player campaign, but I think it's because he has Silver. Anyone have any info on the problem?


Help!

My complaint:

The bullets' trajectories are still too sporadic on precision weapons. If I have perfect aim, I should be able to facial a Jackal sniper at long range. I know those Snipers are pretty nooby, but they shouldn't need any help; just make them better at Sniping. There really is no need for this annoyance IMO.

That's cool that you made shooting harder with the added Recoil, but the included randomness of the bullet trajectories just take away from the enjoyment.

Red Ranger ready. It's morphin' time! Go Go Power Rangers!

It's REALLY annoying how you can't transfer audiofiles between co-op and solo. Among everything else that does not transfer, like if I got to Kizingo Boulevard on solo and wanted to play with my friend, I think we should be able to pick up from there. And that bothers me.

  • 09.26.2009 6:05 PM PDT

At least now Bungie can look throught this thread and find complaints, rather than look at 1000's of pages of the same bug.

Ok so I was on Alphasite hero for the Achievement vidmaster Endure. Got to the bonus between the fourth and fith round. Then an error message came up " An Error has occured please restart from last check point." Ok well this made us mad we had over 500000 points and had put in 2:30 hours on this map. Is there anyway we can get the achivement with out having to redue the hole thing.


Can an admin help me or a bungie employ or some one anyone out there.

I've tried to get endure on firefight over 10 times now and each time my entire team gets lagged out around the 2nd or 3rd set. I've had many different hosts so I imagine it is a problem with the halo servers. I'm ready to give up.

I've got the other vidmasters but I'm tired of getting kicked out of games. Everyone on my friends list that i've talked to have also reported this problem.

Sievy

K i beat the last level like 5 times on legendary and it hasnt counted a single time. No Acheivement, no firefight character, it doesnt even say on the campaign mission list that i beat it. Has this happened to anyone else and is Bungie working on a patch?
You can check my recent films if u dont believe me

what if it keeps happening ?
is everyone who did it is getting locked ?
Yes.

Bungie are more than aware of the problems that people are having with ODST, so they don't need to see hundreds of threads about the same problem.


Well... It's good to see Bungie has seen some of the complaints. They are obviously watching or else they wouldn't have made the Brute's harder to headshot, and Hunters harder in general.

The campaign was too short. I played on heroic by myself and beat it in 5 an a half hours. Yes I was playing in a linear manner, but there's really nothing interesting about wandering the streets as a rookie looking for stuff to do. In my opinion anyways.

Also, firefight...it's a hell of a lot of fun, until you get past a couple sets, then in just gets repetitive, I think Bungie could have done a better job making sure the fights stay interesting.

The assault rifle is completely useless compared to the SMG, I think it should have been given more power, and you know...actually be available in firefight..

The lack of matchmaking for firefight is annoying.

It's overpriced for how much content there is..
The ending was not exactly another "Maw"...it was boring...
As a die-hard halo fan, I was disappointed.

Romantic sub-plot???
What the hell Bungie. Come on.

ODST's can rip off the turrets...and run around and be FASTER than Master Chief with it..how does that make any sense?

Since there is no Player versus Player multiplayer, I don't see the issue with removing the Battle rifle. Paul said something about disk space? They took out the blue plasma rifle, the sword, dual wielding and a bunch of other stuff...I don't know, this isn't a major one, maybe there was not enough space I don't know, all I know is it bugged me...

Why the hell aren't we fighting elites too?
This was seriously disappointing for me. I see absolutely no reason to remove elites from the game...they were the best enemies to fight.

The faces look terribly low quality.

While there are tons of great things about the game. (Vehicle improvements, 2 new awesome weapons, great art style, firefight, a decent campaign, bad ass story.) I felt that this game was seriously lacking in some areas.

I just expected more from Bungie, you guys have created my favorite games of all time, and I feel that you could've done a better job.


(Was that too much?)

"Connection has been lost"

I'm REALLY sick and tired of seeing this message.

I have the fastest connection my service provides, and it's happened to me on numerous occasions.

THIS....server blows

I am having problems with getting achievements and getting credit for doing missions i have done several mission and some of them multiple times and still have not gotten credit for them

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

Just to add my proverbial drop in the bucket, I am very distraught with the lack of matchmaking in firefight. Once the ODST boom goes out a little, I'm not going to be able to get 4 people together at once to play. Also, even though firefight has been a great inprovement from horde(which I love), it needs to keep some characteristics, like not completely ending if 1 person quits. Horde also has matchmaking, which makes me wonder what bungie was thinking when they shipped the game like this?

ODST broke my 360! My son and I were happily playing along...and then, during a cut scene...the 360 goes to the (gasp!) ring of death!

lucky member no.999 of SAS Halo3

the lag a pach is needed for this bucks hair (sereously this is really annoying my freind keeps playing as him helmetless just to piss me off) and the thing where it keeps kicking us out of firefight

  • 09.26.2009 6:55 PM PDT

I'm delicious.

I can't get the achievement "Super Sleuth." I've beaten the entire campaign, and even got "Gumshoe," but it still won't unlock.

  • 09.26.2009 6:57 PM PDT

After beating Co-Op campaign with a friend, Solo Campaign is randomly glitching now. Sometimes tutorials won't be displayed, other times doors won't open, sometimes both happens and the menu for the map won't come up.

Frustrating, I say. Frustrating. I have to restart it some times to get it to work properly. My friend has also had the same problems.

Forunners eh? Seems to me that they didn't want us to know something...

Well, overall it was pretty good. The way the "Accurate Auto-Mag" isn't really as accurate as I would have liked. But it was decent.

The lack of a matchmaking for Campaign or Firefight... Is very disappointing, VERY.


But, great job. Always wanted a Marine/ODST game for the Halo series.

  • 09.26.2009 7:08 PM PDT

let me first say I love both the campaign and Firefight. The Vidmaster achievements were an awesome idea - I've met lots of cool people doing Firefight.

complaints, though...

obviously, I disliked the no matchmaking situation - but I adapted and can't see any serious benefit to matchmaking at this point other than convenience (people would still quit, lag would still be bad at times, etc) and that people are going to be over ODST a lot sooner than Halo 3 proper/harder to find people to play firefight with. a simple server list should've at least been available if no proper matchmaking. somehow, Bungie, I think you anticipated this reaction from the community and its why you kinda quietly slipped it in your ODST coverage a few days before release. for shame.

most firefights have been smooth, but in some cases they have been laggy as hell, in a four player game. I realize the environments are detailed, there are tons of enemies/explosions/sounds/etc going on - but its a 4 player game and it shouldn't lag as bad some big team games i've played in H3.

i realize some choices in ODST are kinda like -blam!- you, its a game - get over it - but I have to say being an ODST and running around with a turret when a Spartan is really slow (I get it, in multiplayer its a game balance issue) really kinda upset me that I couldn't do it in H3 multiplayer. :(

bugs? I had an issue yesterday doing Deja Vu where at the end the game gave an error message about a player leaving the game, the achievement toast did not come up, but I unlocked the achievement anyway.

other than that, I really love ODST for fleshing out the Halo 3 experience in a new way. I think other than the obvious problems, its a great game that's taking a lot of flak because of its price (and admittedly, I'm one that bought ALL of the DLC) when the Mythic disc is priceless to me.

This game is awesome and I am having a lot of fun playing firefight. However, the main problem with the game is not random lag spikes it is the button lag when you are not host. Everyone in my party has it except the host. Strafing has a half second lag, zooming, melee... etc. There is about a .50 MS delay between pressing a button and the action happening.

Without this lag the game would be much more enjoyable. I don't understand why firefight lags but Halo 3 multiplayer doesn't have this button delay issue. I suspect it is some sort of programming problem.
