Halo Infinite’s melee desync isn’t being fixed because devs have been allocated elsewhere, 343 says

343_taxi:

Just wanted to comment that we appreciate these types of compilations. Videos like this always get pulled into bug/task threads for UCN (networking) improvements.

[SullysCigar]

What a crap explanation. Get your house in order 343i.

The reputational damage these idiots are causing is shocking. Time for a long-overdue shake up, Microsoft.

[Tacoboto]

Bonobo

[SullysCigar]

Good lord I'd actually forgotten about that fiasco somehow. Awful.

[babadivad]

Jesus Christ...

[Jin_Sakai]

The melee is so bad it literally ruins the game. And this is a poor excuse if I’ve ever seen one. 343i are the worst!

[Mobis-New-Nest]

At this point Microsoft should let Blizzard take over the Halo Franchise. I believe Blizzard will offer the best in AAA quality to the Halo Universe and give us an experience that would put the works of 343i and Bungie to shame. Blizzard is the only company that save Halo at this point. I hope Microsoft can see that sooner rather than later.

[SullysCigar]

Hell no. If there's one thing that would hammer home the final nail in the coffin for this franchise, it's Halo Immortal.

[notachance]

you're confusing oldies Blizzard with the new one, almost all the talents that made their legendary games have departed the company, it's only Blizzard in name now.

[1Victor]

I stop reading at “at this point Microsoft should let blitzzard take over the franchise”🤦🏿
Making it into a Diablo clone is out of the question it would make it worse same for a cod clone. At this point they need a hiatus of a few years to let the franchise cooldown while making a new dedicated studio with accomplished FPS developers that can treat it with respect to the players and legacy of halo.
Microsoft after all the acquisitions should have enough developers to pick the best from those studios and create a amazing team for halo

[headshotfrosty]

Agreed

[Wrex369]

I usually preach patience but at this point.. Halo is your main tent pole franchise.. or it used to be. Treat it like such. This is embarrassing.

[neutralgamer1992]

This is simply pathetic. With Ms resources and amount of talent at 343i this is simply pathetic

[Tacoboto]

When they're not adding overlays to loading screens to give the appearance of new loading screens, they're stuck in committee forming the next excuse.

"We forgot to renew the networking team's contracts after release, however can we fix this?!"

[ClayRules2012]

Ummm… what a pitiful response to give to your fans who bought your game, and are continuing to play this poor excuse of a game. The way 343 has done things with Halo Infinite is mind blowing, and NOT in a good way!

343 continues to bury their name and reputation…

Iyiyiyiyiy

[ActualWhiteMan]

Well to be fair the MP is free. Take it or leave it.

[ClayRules2012]

Just because it’s “Free” is no excuse for the poor doings done by 343! And to say “Take it or leave it” when fans lifelong fans and new, paid for the game (I assume most, solely for the MP mode, although also looking forward to the SP, but their bulk of time and years of time would be spent on the MP having a great deal of fun and new great experiences, yet this poor excuse of a games offerings is given to them, isn’t acceptable. And than for you to say again take it or leave it, just because it’s free, and with that, they aren’t paying for the mode and can in that stop at anytime, thats foolish.

Fans expected better, paid for something much much better and simply put, deserve better! 343 most definitely know it, but could care less.

[Bathyj]

And there's the problem in a nutshell.

[AmUnRa]

That it the most delusional defence for this shitshow i ever heard...

[Jin_Sakai]

The only thing 343i are burying is the Halo franchise!

https://i.ibb.co/4Mz7D6N/F2...

[ClayRules2012]

Thanks for that!

Yes, the Halo franchise is being buried! However, they can bury themselves too (knowing their motives and lack of care for fans complaints and outcry on the broken state of their game seems to not be a concern for them.

R.I.P. Halo…

[ChubbyBlade]

This has been 343 for 10 years. I have no idea why people are shocked.

[AngainorG7X]

This is such a bullcrap excuse that it might actually be true.. Wtf

[Inverno]

Allocated to what? All this dev does is HALO

[Servbot41]

Allocated to MTX and MTX ONLY.

[SierraGuy]

MTX to disable the melee exploit...$6.99 US... coming to gamepass ... Christmas 2023

[annoyedgamer]

lmao

[Orchard]

"The game is broken and we aren't fixing it, because we've moved everyone onto something else but we can't tell you what that is either"

Oh... okay then 343.

[FPS_D3TH]

Just throw away the whole studio, Microsoft

[Jin_Sakai]

As a longtime Halo fan, this would make my day!

[FPS_D3TH]

I really think they’re more interested in driving away their playerbase more than anything. The games such a sweat fest now with so few left playing lol

[Magog]

They were better off not saying anything about it at all then. Wow.

[ClayRules2012]

Wow is right. Some game studios just show their true colors with their words. I’m glad they weren’t silent, solely for the fact that now hopefully people will not support them going forward, knowing their lack of care for the current broken, poor game, and apparent focus on some eyes being focused on other things instead of the things that their fans are bringing to the studios attention that are issues within their game.

[shaenoide]

How many devs are working at this small indie company ?

[SullysCigar]

Bless them, I heard they don't have that big of a budget.. /S

[SonyStyled]

Imagine what they could do if they had a really big budget. Their talent would shine! /S

[Destiny1080]

the lights are on, but there's nobody home

500 million

[CS7]

I’ve never really been into the Halo series as I never had an Xbox but what 343 is doing to a beloved game series is really awful.

Step up your game Microsoft…

[franwex]

Wow. Okay. Thanks for being honest.

[northpaws]

I still don't get why the game got so many 10/10 when it launches ...

[Jin_Sakai]

The gameplay is fun. That’s about it. Everything is lacking about the game. Co-op is lacking, Forge is lacking, updates are lacking, bug fixes are lacking, content is lacking.

In a nutshell, 343i are awful developers.

[Bathyj]

But it's fun.

[Stanjara]

AAA game industry why. Who dared?

[gold_drake]

what kind of reason is that?
get it together already

[Deathdeliverer]

Like I said on another article about the co-op beta. I’m over this game completely already. I have moved on. Better luck next time 343.
I will say this though…
When asked why they don’t have day one games on the new PS+ and Sony said in short form, quality would diminish. I saw that as they’d have to lower budgets & increase microtransactions so it’ll be easier to recoup the money and then push it into success numbers of income. If they sell the game as usual and then when sales slow down, say a year or so down the road, then they could put it on sub services. Give the game a second childhood sorta.
That being said, Microsoft has been doing gamespass for a lot longer and have been committing their titles to day one. All those companies are basically splitting part of the subscription fees. That’s your sales vs the game being sold and money being made by the involved parties. Maybe, just maybe Microsoft IS cutting budgets, resources, and the like. Turning it into a puppy mill for games. Less they spend, the easier it is to recoup. The faster they move people to the next project to pump it out that’s another potential income source from microtransactions.
Basically, they are already living what Sony didn’t want.

[lellkay]

Remember when you paid full price and got a full fat pacakge?

This is what F2P does for ya

[badz149]

what a class act, 343i! clap clap clap

/s

seriously though, what the heck is "good guy" Phil doing amid all THESE?

[Nuvem]

lol

[S2Killinit]

Haha terrible

[GoodGuy09]

Lolol. My God what is 343 doing. Good Lord these guys need to get shut down, please mcsft...

[rippermcrip]

Hey all, stop complaining about your Day 1 exclusives that make UGP so superior.

[Aloymetal]

Half a million $ in the making...

[darkrider]

This was 600 millions plus project, 6 years in the making. Made from the scratch, new next Gen engine. with a huge team and helped from other Microsoft studios. Just think about it.

[anast]

This is funny. Maybe Starfield will save the day?

[jBlakeeper]

At this point Microsoft oversees 343. If Microsoft really cared they would make sure these things are fixed promptly.
