Sorry, trying to get enough req points to get that new req pack.

You need to turn up the difficulty to legendary.

You can get a free one for watching the Championships

I know.

But there's this one that I saw, which is "Spartan's Armory" for 80000 req points.

That was actually intentional; like Bungie did with Destiny's raid's.

That just gives even more reason to criticize 343. You understand this, right? Like, a deliberate misstep is actually worse than at least trying to include a feature.

It was underused in previous titles, but the lack of local Multiplayer support for Halo 5 makes it a bit more important to give players (especially those with limited friends lists) more of a chance to play Co-Op online. Unless they plan on releasing this further down the track to iron out any kinks, I can't see a reason to axe a feature that was introduced 8 years earlier than Halo 5 itself.

60fps is good though

But yeah other than that, deliberately planning releasing an unfinished game doesn't excuse the fact you sold an early access game for full price.

I know fam, that tradeoff was almost fair enough, on top of them reportedly making a reasonable effort to include both features. I was saying without Split Screen, a matchmaking feature becomes more important for Co-Op campaign.

Yeah.

Honestly, I'd have been fine with them downscaling to 720 or 900p if it meant a splitscreen experience. Frame rate is far more important than resolution.

I can kind of undersand them removing matchmaking co op though, it rarely had more than like, 300 players even at the height of Reach's lifespan. Plus it had a voting system to decide level/ difficulty, which H5 doesn't have.

Especially with the way they were pushing Co-op too, speaking of that I'm surprised that campaign doesn't distribute REQ points or Experience points to give people more incentive to play it.

Yeah. I wish there were campaign commendations for weapon kills and enemies killed. The Halo Reach and 4 commendations extended a lot of my play-time in Campaign/ Spartan Ops because I could actually get some cR/ XP from them. Once you have the collectibles, there isn't really much reason to replay Halo 5. Having campaign matchmaking with commendations would make the focus they put on co-op with different characters and dedicated servers a lot more useful. Hopefully WZ Firefight will remedy this.

Is it so hard to believe that I would acknowledge such a thing?

You did kind of present it as a "They INTENDED to release it unfinished so it's okay!"

It's not exactly hard to believe when there are a sizeable people who subscribe to that train of thought.

No shit.

Where in my post did I convey that it was OKAY for 343i to not do that?

calm the fuck down jesus

You want to do it too?

Cool.

The way it looks on text one can be forgiven for thinking so, but for me not at all. My cuntiness is more trying to call you out on giving a blanket statement such as "It was intentional," as every time I've seen somebody state that exact phrase in the context of a flaw in a game being pointed out (which is a lot) it invariably comes across as somehow trying to defend the action in question.

I encourage elaborating on (your take of) the reasoning behind excluding such a feature and your thoughts on it in future rather than stating whether it was deliberate or not. Otherwise I'm happy to continue dishing excessively venomous callouts on what comes across as blatant shilling.

I'm required to disclose my full thoughts and opinions or face the threat of harassment?

Yeah, no. Fuck that.

No, not really. Even a '343 decided not to include Campaign matchmaking in Halo 5. Given the low population in previous iterations of Co-Op, It's not hard to see why." would suffice. It's concise, contributes discussion, and you don't even have to spend an extra 20 seconds thinking/typing the reply.

"That was actually intentional; like Bungie did with Destiny's raids" as a reply to a complaint about a missing feature can not be interpreted as anything other than trying to defend said action to even the most neutral of minds. As such, my interpretation of the thread was you were just shilling for 343 without bothering to even discuss the relevant point of contention (and I'm not entirely convinced you weren't just backpedaling after the callout).

I haven't yet seen you try to make some semblance of a valid line of reasoning clear when dealing with dissenting discussion of 343 industries. You just try to shut other users up by going out on confusing tangents from the original topic, and then say you're getting harassed the moment somebody tries to call you out on a bad practice. You know full well nobody actually wishes death upon 343i developers, and nobody even has any genuine ill will towards you.

Feel free to disagree, but from my point of view you're just trying to get away with making certain nobody says a single bad word against 343i. At least with Lemon we all know he's just a shit stirrer but you genuinely seem to have some deep emotional attachment to this studio.

You're arguing against a non-existant opposition, retard.

If you had the foresight and consideration of a decent human being to ask me what my opinion was instead of threatening me to "reveal my emotionally attached ways", I would have happily told you I completely agree with you.

But, hey, at least I get to know you think I'm demented when it comes to Halo all because I don't share my opinions very often.

What the fuck happened to how you approached me in the last conversation we had? You know that that shit actually worked, right? I legit thought about what you said, and came to the conclusion you had some fair points. I was in the wrong; it's not fair of me to argue other people solely because of their own personal reasoning. That's why I haven't started any shit with anyone since then.

okay seriously shut up I could see where he was coming from, that was it

stop being such a spaz

That's literally defending him because you allegedly understand his rationale behind his argument.

I still really don't care so calm the fuck down
all I did was point out where the confusion could've come from since you asked

Yeah, and you've been taking my responses to your answers way too personally when I've directed my dismay at Bacon in them.
