Subject: The ODST problem reporting and complaints thread

I have just returned from a long, necessary break and I will start making maps soon!

Ignore my previous post. Turns out I somehow didn't do Uplift Reserve...

"One must prepare for defeat because it never comes the way we expect it."

tried to play some firefight the other day with some local friends, got way to laggy to play by the 3rd wave on whatever map, with whoever was hosting.

So then we switched to campaign, but again, was way to laggy to play.

so yeah, just -blam!-in' about the lag in 4 player co-op campaign/firefight

Don't know if its been said already. Not reading 22 pages. But firefight games not recording! I got 5.1 million in 4 hours 40 minutes and the game didn't record on bunig.net.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Any way of allowing us to hold down RB to pickup the health packs in firefight instead of running over them to use them? Dont know how many times i wasted them when backing up from grunts throwing grenades only to accidently pick one up due to low staminia.

Other than that, i think everything else has been discussed already.

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

I'm adding my name to the pile of problems with lagging on firefight. Even when I play with just one other person (both of us on cable internet) we lag out of crater in just a few minutes. I've checked my speed and I get 18Mbps down and 5Mbps up. I've got my xbox on a static IP. I don't know if a mortal can have faster internet than that.

Another issue I ran into last night was a major stat bork. Check out This Game. The postgame report is all there but it's all screwey. I'm (ninja slothboy) credited no kills for the match, at least it appears that way at first. Actually it mixed up the names in the match and put Radiant Penguin with my game stats, logo, and service tag. El Pescador is in Radiant Penguin's stats.

We are missing all of El Pescador's stats (my name is in the position that his should be occupying) and you can tell because if you add up the visible points it doesn't equal the total for the match.

I don't really care much about the game report (it credited my my medals correctly... oddly enough) but I was wondering if this was caused by the same sort of issue that causes games to lag out.

FYI, we ended up quitting the game because it was late. We experienced no network issues during this game.

This aside, I love ODST. This game is fantastic and I'm loving the heck out of firefight.

Oh my Gosh! It's urk! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Now that my nerdgasm is over, I don't have any problems besides the fact that Buck's hair isn't mine! Love you Bungie.

Anyway to prevent Campaign from glitching?
I'm tired of my VISR/Compass not working and being unable to open doors.

Enemies seem to work fine but the surroundings are pretty much null.

There has to be a better way than restarting and resaving several times.

  • 10.01.2009 4:42 PM PDT

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but when your on the passenger of a mongoose, your guy doesnt have any reload animation like in halo 3.

Don't know if this is a glitch or what.

I was doing Campaign on heroic, and beat Kikowani Station. I had beat every mission, in order, before that. When I checked my map, it said I had to redo Tayari Plaza, Uplift Reserve, and the other Plaza.

Me and my friends are trying to get the Endure achievement and we keep getting lagged out. It's happened three times already, the first time it wasn't that bad because were were only on Set 2, however, the last two times it happened we were on Set 4.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/ODSTg.aspx?gameid=35494666&pl ayer=ThePRAssassin%20x
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/ODSTg.aspx?gameid=29483408&pl ayer=ThePRAssassin%20x

One of the links only has Set 3, Wave 3, Round 5 I believe, because it lagged us out when Set 4 had started.

Is it the game? All of us remain in the game lobby so it can't possibly be our connections, can it? I love FireFight so I don't mind doing it for a FOURTH time but does anyone know why it keeps lagging us out?

  • 10.01.2009 4:55 PM PDT

Sometimes Campaign loads very slowly for me. What can I do about it?

I don't know if someone has already mentioned this, I didn't read all 22 pages.

  • 10.01.2009 4:57 PM PDT

Im Awsome

Fix the dam Lag!!!!!!!!!

This would be a great game but the shuddering issue needs sorting ASAP

  • 10.01.2009 5:29 PM PDT

Bungie is juking online scores.

Swapping scores for one or the other players on Firefight History or simply leaving out someone's stats all together.

Any reason for this?

  • 10.01.2009 5:30 PM PDT

and thats what the bigman said

guys that are complaing about lagging.........yes major problem......but the thing is that its cause most people are in XBL Parties that make it lag....me and my friends got out of the Party and it works fine...but yes some lag has been a problem lately but also it could be the fact that there are alot of people on a one time right now so dont worry bout it

Whats so funny about them huh? I think that the complaints make some sense. I hate the fact that there is no matchmaking in firefight. I havent had any framerate problems or LAG problems but then again I cant find people to play with since no one I know has the game yet. The person who decided that there should be no matchmaking should be taken out behind the building and beaten within an inch of his\her life then fired for it.

Get Free Stuff For Doing Nothing!! 100% legit

Lockerz invites here!

What is Lockerz? Read the FAQ!

Well, I can't complain about the length of the game, since it's already out, so I only really have 2 complaints.

1. I FRIGGING KNOW MY HEALTH IS LOW BUNGIE I DON'T NEED TO HERE BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP 10,00000000000000000 TIMES. I GET IT. THERE'S A REASON YOUR HEALTH BAR TURNS RED!!!!

2. Firefight really does need matchmaking. For those of us without friends who have ODST, I don't want to go through the hassle of logging on to this forum just to find people to play with.

3. ODST should have been sold with the option to exclude the Halo 3 multiplayer disk, at a lower price. Us fans didn't need to pay for the multiplayer, and all the maps, a second time.

I haven't been on the forums in forever so don't know if we have one already, if we do sorry for bringing it up, if we don't we need a FAQ for ODST, not a FAQ for gameplay but about these issues. Or atleast post the answers on the first post that alot of people are mentioning. Such as, "why doesn't Firefight have MM?" if you have this in a FAQ or on the first post then everyone can see, and if the info is confirmed then state why it won't have MM. Other things like everyone wants to know when/if the lag will be fixed, and if it is comfirmed, state when Bungie plans to fix it or if they plan on fixing it at all, etc.

Normally I would post it, but as I am just a fan, the only way I would know the answers is if it was confirmed on here by an employee or someone who actually knows something.

But I could gather what has already been answered and make a thread about it.

That way as long as it's obvious to where no one should miss it (though there still will be some, no helping them), it should clear up many of the issues to where people atleast know if anything is being done about them or not and eliminating a lot of reports about the same issue numerous times in this thread. Mostly, they haven't even been answered by anyone yet, so people keep asking.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I can't load any campaign progress or save data unless signed into Xbox Live. It's the same way in Halo 3. It just gives me a guest-like profile until signed in. (I play offline on my Live file just fine with other games).
