Oh and the new Warzone map is reusing assets.

Ugh the bases are so fugly and just lazily designed to begin with.

I wish Microshaft would just give up on Shitbox so Halo wouldn't be so damn limited by hardware, then we could have some more creative stuff, like community warzone maps.

you try too hard

Forge is worthless without fun gametypes.  It's really annoying how hard 343 fails at the simple things Bungie got right the first time.

I get that people are upset about specific custom games but I feel like a lot of people are underestimating the creativity of the halo community. I am sure there will be plenty of fun custom game types to go along with forge maps. What people should actually be worried about is a file sharing system. Forge maps and Custom games are wastes of time for a community if there is no good way to share them.

If there's no infection, this game is literally useless to me.

95% of the amazing memories I have with Halo customs are Infection gametypes.

If it was in H2A, 343 has zero excuse for not having it ship with Halo 5. They're idiots.

To me, Halo 5 actually has the best gameplay mechanics of any Halo game since 3. Like, it plays extremely well.

But

Holy fuck

There is SO LITTLE content in this game, it's ridiculous.

I think the base gameplay is fun.

But the multiplayer is just frustrating, I rarely feel like I've been killed because the other guy was better than me.

Custom games is the one thing this game has left to offer me, and it doesn't even seem to have that, because a certain statement made by the multiplayer lead means we won't be getting social playlists any time soon. Have fun reading that conversation.

I've never seen a better example of someone just copying+pasting the same response over and over again

edit - I'm an idiot

I am reading some fucking Phil Fish tier bullshit right now

The Home Bases and Armories have been reused for every Warzone map thus far. I expected them to continue it.

Like there has to be some kind of community backlash against this right guys?

r-right?

By free content they mean content that should have been in the game at launch but wasn't so they could release the game incomplete and re-add the content under the guise of "free DLC" to make them look like generous developers.

Bravo is always on /r/Halo, and he assures people that literally everything on that subreddit is read thoroughly, and they know what people are saying. I don't doubt that, because Bravo's a really good community manager, but I doubt 343 higher-ups actually listen to what he tells them.

"Okay Bravo, what's the feedback on the game?"

"Well, everyone says the core gameplay is really good. But they're disappointed with the lack of customs game options, gamemodes, map variety, and social playlists."

"Mmmm, okay. But we know better than them, so let's just keep doing what we're doing. We are the game designers, after all!"

"B-But the community says-"

"FUCK THE COMMUNITY. THE PEOPLE WANT REMIXES AND BREAKOUT."

This,
The late ass file-share did nothing to help Halo 4 and MCC still doesnt fucking have one.
What kind of retarded shit is it to have to scroll through the fucking campaign leaderboards to find one person to find their fileshare.
How do you get something so perfect in Halo 3 and Reach and then butcher it so hard?

You're still scrolling through the Campaign leaderboards?

Dude, they implemented a "FInd a Player" function months ago so you can access the file share of anyone you want.

Or, we can take the more logical route and realize these content updates have schedules that have been planned out, and they can't fuck over the schedules of nearly finished Content Updates to rush out what the community wants.

Or, 343 could have released a finished product in the first place with a substantial amount of content in it, rather than rushing it for muh Q4 release and then re-adding removed features (that should be standard) under the guise of free updates.
