kurtix07 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Ok so i've been a fan of Halo since its original release, I waited in line for the first halo to hit the stores and i've enjoyed every single halo that Bungie ever came out with. Then 343 got there hands on it and down the ******* it went. 343 isn't interested in anything more than to squeeze as much money from this cash cow as possible. Allowing micro transactions in this game is at the same level of cell phone games and i'd rather pay 3 dollars on candy crush before i give 343 anymore of my money. Why the hate for 343? here's why. 1.) Matchmaking- no such thing in Halo 5, I know there are more than 100 people that play this game at any given point in time so why do I (platinum 1) get constantly put against players (diamond 1 or higher) 75% of the time? Either, there aren't many people playing this game shortly after it's release (which might actually be the case considering how bad it is) or matchmaking is just a word 343 uses in an attempt to follow along with "every other" game out there. 2.) Req cards - WTF are these?!? oh these are the cards that are completely random, but we've put in so many of them, the odds you'll get anything good out of them is slim to none, which again doesn't make matchmaking fair when one guy opens his first gold pack to get an awesome attachment to his BR and i'm rank 38 and haven't seen one yet. I could understand req cards if only certain items were obtained through lvls i.e. once you reach rank 10 you unlock the sniper rifle attachment. Instead, 343 again sees this simply as a money making opportunity for people who are desperate and tired of being **** on in matches buy these repeatedly in the hopes of actually getting something useful... oh look another weapon skin.... 3.) no scope - I mean this in two ways, one 343 has lost sight of why halo players enjoy halo, and the second is in regards to maps and game modes. First, I've always been a fan of halo's swat, big team battles, infection, and team snipers.... until this game. Big team battles? you might as well call it "Arena with a warthog and 2 mongooses with guns" even with this "new release" of big team battles it still blows, power weapons rule the day on these small maps with limited mobility and its quite a shame. your "team snipers" might as well be called no scope because thats what happens when you put snipers on swat maps. I thought at least you would put them on larger maps but no, your stupidity knows no bounds" so now it's just quick scope. Thanks but if i wanted quick scoping i would have stayed with Call of Duty. 4.) DLC - 343 has taken another liberty of saying they will be releasing all the DLC for FREE!!! yay!!! that is until you start to think about it. With it's release, halo came with 2 warzone modes and what 5 or 6 arena modes? and the arena modes were all basically the same. Now I'm starting to think, why would anyone pay for that? well that's all in 343's brilliant accountant department who said, "wait, if we only release half the game up front and then release one new "mode" every couple of weeks then people will keep playing and keep spending money!". Think about it, how else is 343 supposed to keep it's customer base around? Release an awesome game like Bungie did or string the few diehards along draining them along the way? I think the answer is pretty clear on that one. I could keep going but rather than create a wall of text that most won't read and because the Moderators will take this down probably almost immediately I only request this 343, give me a refund. Restore my faith that the Halo franchise hasn't gone to **** by simply admitting this was a complete **** up like ODST and give me my money back. Only if you do this will I consider buying the next installment of this game. If not, there are much better ways I can spend my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hello and welcome to the forum, sadly we are not 343 but just a fan site. 1. Platinum does not mean you will be put with people of just your csr rank, it puts you in matches with people with similar skill. It's quite common to be put with the csr above you, when you are ranking up because it provides a challenge, this is pretty much the test that ranks up your CSR. 2. Req packs are random for a reason, it evens out teams, because chances are one team won't have every power weapon completely destroying the other team. Also if you want that BR attachment, just keep getting reqs, you are level 38, so you haven't really unlocked to many yet to complain. 3.Don't play snipers if you don't like it, simple. There are plenty of other gamemodes. Also BTB is fine, power weapons have ALWAYS played a crucial role in winning slayer and objective games. And might I point out, two of the BTB maps are remakes from other games, they are plenty big enough and we have more maps on the way. 4. Inpatient people such as yourself, often want to buy their way to the things they want, so naturally people would buy reqs. 343 could have made us pay for DLC and the reqs but didn't you know why? BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING FAIR, they are making more money off reqs than they would have off DLC anyway. They aren't screwing you they are helping you by giving you free content almost every month. Can't see a problem there lol. And no they will not give you your money back, and they could care less if you don't keep playing. They have plenty of loyal fans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose The Ace Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 By the way can I point out that your not going to get a refund from 343. You can try asking on Halo Waypoint (that is their official site) or their twitter account but I've never heared of 343 giving someone a Halo 5 refund so you might just have to go sell it at a local games store (if you have a physical copy) and salvage what you can from there.

Connor Kenway Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 As Caboose said above me, don't ask 343 for a refund if you want a refund go to the store you purchased it from if its digital however you won't get a refund it literally says before you buy it that the transaction is unrefundable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
