If they were unaware that a problem like this could've happened or that their product was in a state where this was a possibility then they shouldn't be doing the job of developing Halo. They just aren't equipped to handle that responsibility

Would they ruin their brand on purpose? No. Would they put out an unfinished game to hit a certain release date knowing it wasn't working 100%, particularly on the matchmaking side? Oh, hell yeah.

The dumb part is there are still people defending 343. These people clearly don't give a fuck about you and you're still defending them. What do they have to do to Halo for you guys to change your mind?

Nope, this bro is the apologist, 343 did nothing wrong

You're an idiot if you believe they didn't foresee any problem like this occurring

So you really believe 343 turned in the final product and popped the champagne anticipating a flawless release only to find out later this huge problem existed they were completely ignorant to? Like you truly believe that it was impossible for them to have foreseen a fuck up this big on a launch of the biggest title…

well 343 is still taking a long time to fix this multiplayer issue. Why weren't the long hours out in before the launch? If they were, what exactly is the problem?

also we're not pretentious assholes. That's another difference

yuuuuuuuuuus!!!

or gears of war collection. 1, 2 (classic and anniversary), and 3

the problem is that all the new games aren't as good as the old ones

Modern warfare collection. Just like the master chief collection but without the broken multiplayer. Make a modern warfare 2 anniversary edition with slight tweaks to the game and multiplayer and sell it as 3 games in one of: MW1, MW2 (classic and anniversary), MW3

A full refund would be awesome because I bought it digitally lol. It'll probably be $15-20. The funny thing is the only reason I had money on my account was because of the Gamestop fiasco with AW.

But it's just a playlist and then players vote. It's not like all 4 games are being loaded at the exact same time across platforms. Whatever technical problems aren't really worth arguing for me. My beef was with they knowingly put out a shit product. Intent is the issue here. Everyone is praising their honesty. No,…

When business starts to infect any industry (entirely different rant on the business side of education) the core industry will fall by the wayside.

Stop buying games on release! Yeah, I know, I bought this piece of shit on the day before release. I figured online matchmaking wasn't too difficult to implement on an old game. I'm pretty much over hyping any game anyway. When we (collective) talk with our wallets then companies will listen. The only time big…

They should do an extended beta. Not as a peace pipe to the buyers, but because it's clear they need an extended beta. I think it'd be cool, but the extended beta wouldn't be a benefit to me.

Because it's wrong and you know it? I don't feel bad for Walmart whatsoever either but I know the difference between right and wrong. That is what decent means.

You do realize you don't have to buy it right?

Yeah but these people aren't doing this with the sole purpose of fighting for other people, they're doing it for cheap shit. I hate Walmart too, but don't kid yourself. If this was Costco people would be doing the same thing
