Severed Dreams

So your argument is that they are too busy trying to make more money of DLC for this broken game than to fix the issues or provide the community with what it wants, namely a "search good connection" feature? What a pathetic excuse. Are you an employee of 343i or just one of their brainwashed fanbois? The game has been out since November of last year you gimp, it has been way more than a month, more than enough time to fix the issues, however still the game is broken. The fact that the total player population has dwindled from 300k at launch to only about 20k now shows how poor a game this is. The fact is 343i do not care about the game or the community, they are just run by the accountants and marketing douchebags who simply want to make something that is "shiny" and make a quick buck. SHAME ON YOU 343i, YOU HAVE DESTROYED ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMING FRANCHISES OF ALL TIME!

Don't forget the Horribly broken match-making system and uber-lag. That killed off the international community quick smart. As for the competitive community, well lets face it, it was doomed to be rejected by that community as soon as 343i decided to introduced creator classes and kill-streak rewards, opps I mean point-streak, I mean CoD-streak, you get the drift.

So we are now over 5 months into the game and it is as bad as ever. Matchmaking is completely broken. Co-Op is unplayable for everyone but host and the active playing community is virtually dead. Over the last few days the MAX amount of players online is about 20k. Well done 343, your arrogance and refusal to both address and fix this problem has kill the game and possibly the series as well. You should be ashamed. You have taken a brilliant series and made a complete mockery of it with the pathetic excuse of a game.

To start with I said PUBLIC beta, so the point is valid. Second the fact that other games do not have a public beta does not mean that it is not a good idea to run a public beta, especially in a fast pace FPS where having solid net coding and low latency makes a big difference to the game experience. Now about them not caring, while I agree that it is my opinion, it is not one that I share alone, nor is it one that is baseless.

With all due respect, we have been hearing this since launch and yet there is still no fix, only rubbish claims by 343i about the issue being resolved. The fact of the matter is that 343i rushed the game to market and failed to have a public beta test and it shows in many aspects of the game. Further they seem to show no interest in the issues the community are having which does not give people much faith that this game will have any longevity, which in turn makes people disinclined to purchase any further games from 343i. I believe that the problem with 343i is that Microsoft gave them a blank cheque to develop this game and as such 343i have no vested interest in the game's success and as such do not care about the community.

Any weapon that can double as a marksmen rifle and shotgun is OP. I damn well guarantee those trying to defend it are those same scrubs who wh0re it while hiding in a corner waiting for people to run past for an easy kill.

Exactly the point. If this was a brand new game, one could use the argument that they deserve time to flush out the bugs. Given that they had every chance to build on the previous Halo releases this argument has no weight in my opinion.

I bring you this thread 343i on behalf of the International Halo community who are sick of your excuses for not giving us a the "search good connection" option that was available in previous Halo games. The matchmaking in this game is pathetic, routinely matching players from one country to hosts on the other side of the planet and further compounding the problem by giving host to US players in lobbies that are full of players from a non-US country. You have taken a game known for its excellent matchmaking and made a mockery of it. As you can see from this thread over at waypoint, this is an issue being had by many non-US players and quite frankly we are sick of the excuses from you. You can can see in the link below the massive drop in the number of people playing this game and I believe this is due to the horrible matchmaking system in Halo 4. https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst129636p73_NO--REGIONAL-FILTER----OR--GOOD-CONNECTION.aspx I for one will not buy another product developed by 343i and I suspect that many others feel the same way, EDIT - Note to admins, stop removing the link to the thread on Waypoint. WAYPOINT IS PART OF THE HALO GAME NETWORK. There is ZERO reason to remove it when the game itself is tied into Waypoint. MODERATOR EDIT What part of 'Do not post links to other websites' don't you understand? Response What part of, Waypoint is integrated into the game so by definition is part of the game and therefore makes it an extension to this site, do you not understand?

I know 343 said that "search Good Connection" is part of the default search parameters, but the truth is that it doesn't work properly. It maybe fine for people in the USA, but those people are not the only country that has people playing Halo. I live in Australia and 9 times out of 10 I get placed in a US hosted game.
