Yeah, with 343 in charge that's basically what it's become to me. I'm no longer pre-ordering it, and dropping $60, waiting in line, etc. I'm absolutely renting this game first, and if I see -blam!- resembling anything as idiotic as Armour Lock between now and when the game actually drops, I'll play the Campaign (to see what's next for the Chief) and send the -blam!- right back to Blockbuster in a few days without even touching what's bound to be an abomination of multiplayer.

After somehow finding a way to get rid of one of the best playlists (Squad Slayer) that Halo: Reach has had to offer, I've absolutely lost all faith in 343. And even if these morons were to bring Squad back in the April update, while apologizing for 1,000 characters in a blog, I still don't feel as if I can trust them to make good decisions toward developing a great multiplayer experience (ie: Halo 4).

- They failed to remove Armor Lock, or even keep ONE playlist without it.
- They failed to implement the TU in every playlist as it should have been.
- They failed to fix Arena, and just completely ignore it.
- They completely failed with Bleedthrough.
- And they're still acting like Hostball and Living Derp are where 99% of Reach's online populace hangs out.

Seriously, do YOU think these idiots are capable of developing a game that won't be utter trash at this point? I have hope for Halo 4's Campaign, the continuation of the storyline, but as far as multiplayer goes I'm BEYOND nervous.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

If 343i continues to develop matchmaking based on the input of the current users of Waypoint forums, Halo 4 is completely screwed.

Then please go to the Waypoint forums. I've just recently registered there and have been arguing with their retarded users ever since.

Trying to have a civil argument on Waypoint is border line impossible.

Vote for me for a free cookie.

I agree. 343 barely has any idea of how to develope a fun and fair multiplayer.

I hear you.

How the -blam!- these scrubs can say, with a straight face, that 3 DMR shots-melee-melee should be the equivalent of melee-melee, is beyond my comprehension. My brain just doesn't operate that slowly or something.

I am absolutely all for Derp Slayer remaining Vanilla, just to quarantine the retards specifically. But swapping out Squad Slayer for some Derp Slayer clone -blam!- is just insanity. And again it's beyond my comprehension.

In the end I'm terrified of what Halo 4's multiplayer is going to be like. There's a chance that it's so bad, it makes Reach's multiplayer seem amazing.

lol I can have a civil argument here, only a tiny amount of people are complete morons to the max on here. I honestly wish I could say the same for Waypoint, only one person there I can tolerate. Trying to have a discussion with someone who says Vanilla Reach was perfect without me calling them retarded isn't possible for me.

Marketing right now for a game that comes out in Fall is a bad idea and a waste of money, that is just common sense. I know you guys are used to Bungie giving out a lot of info but Bungie also gave out info on stuff that never made it into the game so I rather know concrete details rather than see MC in high res armor to only have it taken away, read about how there is a scarab chase mission or see pretty much every Reach level before the game is out.


Anyways while I do agree 343 needs to shake up playlist management I would suggest waiting until the Monday blow out of Halo 4 info. It has now been confirmed by several media outlets that SP AND MP were shown at the Showcase Event and 343 even invited 2 NeoGAF members to the show to try it out. So wait until Monday to make your choice.

After reading this thread a little I see OP has said 343 failed because they didnt match his opinions, and most importantly used the words "derp" and "scrub".

Argument is no longer valid

  • 03.02.2012 2:26 AM PDT

Also they need to just retire arena already, it was a terrible "ranking" system Bungie put in place and just didnt work and doesnt really need to be around anymore.

They should be hyping up Halo 4 and the new trilogy up the ass to get interest back into Halo but they aren't. We also haven't heard anything about Halo 4 except for Halo 4 toys.
