What if the MCC was broken on purpose?

Mattie G Indahouse · February 13, 2015, 04:40:13 AM

Think about it. The game released on the same day which is also the 10th anniversary of Halo 2 which is a unfinished and broken game. So what better way to celebrate that then to release a game that's just as if not more broken than Halo 2? The other thing is that MS knows all these people that like Halo 2 like a broken game. So they figured the MCC would sale more if it's broken as well since these Halo 2 people might like a game that's even more broken.

I highly doubt it. Besides, the game isn't even that bad.

At least I could connect to friends and not have the game crash or need restarted every other game. 343 says it runs on dedicated servers but if the host quits it ends the game. I hope it was worth being mocked on every halo forum online.

They said most games are on dedis, but I've had it happen twice in a row and multiple times through out the day. Titanfall never had this problem, you'd think Halo, MS's flagship title, would be able to run as smooth if not more. On top of that, they don't have host migration, a game ending earlier results in a messed up party system and having to have everyone restart and reconnect. I give up on the game till I read how well the next patch works, which we're waiting on an ETA for the ETA of when that patch is. A month ago they said the patches sucked because of internal testing so they were going to do a public beta, delayed said beta, then cancelled it just days before sending it out because "internal testing is fine", which completely contradicts their previous statements on why the game launched horribly and why their last patches failed. Their management is a joke.

The problem was simple. Microsoft wanted their money and thus wanted MCC to sell for the holiday season since that's when consoles sell like hot cakes. What better way than to slash the price and add MCC collection to the mix? The simple fact was the game was far from finished.

No big conspiracy here, just corporate greed.

Lemon already made this joke awhile ago.

Halo 2 isn't broken or unfinished. It's the best game of all time and it's not even close

It was supposed to be the messiah of gaming. Now I don't even have the desire to boot it up anymore. It was supposed to be a Jesus but was a Judas. I don't think it will ever be fixed.

But like to take the piss.
