KangarooJack Posted November 20, 2014 Not an outright confirmation, but seems like Bravo is hinting that uneven teams will be fixed by the patch https://twitter.com/Brav/status/535499294875209728 Quote Share this post Link to post
Bulk Posted November 20, 2014 I don't know what we're going to talk about in here once the patch works... the 700 other bugs, glitches and annoyances with the game? haha - H3 audio - Can't set party to closed - Can't set max number of people in a party - Can't promote someone else to party leader without leaving - Can't search file share of people unless they have added you as a friend - Can't see who is talking in game, as there is no indicator All of those are probably a good start without looking to far into things Hopefully they will get it right eventually! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

lofike Posted November 20, 2014 Not an outright confirmation, but seems like Bravo is hinting that uneven teams will be fixed by the patch https://twitter.com/Brav/status/535499294875209728 Why does he have to hint it?? It's not like making parties balanced is a secret or a new surprise feature lol Quote Share this post Link to post
Bulk Posted November 20, 2014 i can set party to "invite only" wtf u talkin about? Is invite only the same thing as closed? If you dont want members of your party inviting people, you can close the party so no one else can join. If there is no close party option, you can restrict it to a certain amount of players, most people do 8, so no randoms can join. This game currently has neither option.

Prim3TiimE Posted November 20, 2014 Haven't seen anyone say anything about being forced to stop moving when looking at the score, that should be addressed too. Does anyone know how the weapon spawns work in HCS game types, or could link to me an explanation? I haven't came across it yet. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Bl0HAZARD Posted November 20, 2014 But I can't categorize bugs anymore. It doesn't make sense to categorize bugs anymore, the radar bug should have the same importance as the session stability in Azure bug. You're free to do whatever or say whatever the hell you want. Don't put words in my mouth, I was simply trying to prevent you from sounding like an asshat by telling everyone particular broken aspects of the game don't matter. Quote Share this post Link to post
msnjah Posted November 20, 2014 So they gonna fix the fact that I can't get my preorder skull with the digital version? Now every time I turn on my xbox I get the download stopped message. Says I need to insert the disk to download the skull.... this is the freaking digital version... because 343 Anyway I'm glad they're "fixing" matchmaking but we'll see. Annoying to constantly get the download stopped message but if I can actually get games and play I'll be happy. Quote Share this post Link to post
Faeyrin Posted November 20, 2014 Why does he have to hint it?? It's not like making parties balanced is a secret or a new surprise feature lol I'd bet that they THINK it'll be fixed but in actuality they're unsure and they don't want to break promises. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Spartan0S36 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm only getting on until the patch is officially live. I don't want to risk breaking anything by having the game loaded up already as it goes live. Quote Share this post Link to post
QuietMan Posted November 20, 2014 Does anyone know how big this patch is???? More or less than 15gb? If a patch takes 15gb, we are in serious trouble. Should be pretty damn small. It's just the executables they should be patching which are pretty small. Not the content and config files which are bigger and more in quantity. Quote Share this post Link to post
Antidope Posted November 20, 2014 I don't think the freezing the player to check score thing is coming out. Wasn't it in H4? It's staying in H2A as much as I want it gone 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Omn1science Posted November 20, 2014 I really really hope theater gets fixed. Not even being able to save films sucks enormously, as does not being able to share films between players. Back in the day, to create the STR8 tage Zola had to (assuming he started with no capturing equipment): 1. Buy a capture card. 2. Download clips from Elamite, T2, Legit and Snipedown's Fileshares. 3. Capture clips. 4. Go back and capture angles as needed. If he wanted to do the same thing now and have the same or better quality: 1. Elamite, T2, Legit and Snipedown all buy capture cards 2. They all back out of matchmaking to capture their clips while the games are still in their "Recent Games" queue. 3. They all send the raw captured files to Zola (a collection of files likely in the gigabytes size range). 4. To capture angles Zola would actually have to get together a bunch of people, go into a custom, and stage the clip so that he can then take that game into theater and capture the angles. Any of you who have made a machinima will know how hard it is to get even 3-4 people together and stage something happening, let alone the 7 other people you would need to stage an entire clip if needed. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

QuietMan Posted November 20, 2014 But I can't categorize bugs anymore. It doesn't make sense to categorize bugs anymore, the radar bug should have the same importance as the session stability in Azure bug. Horror is right. Developers should categorize bugs by importance and how easy it is to fix. If you look at agile principles, you weigh development tasks with complexity and importance to the overall useability. Software Maintenance is just repeating the development phase over again but with completed software. The bugs just become new software tasks and you still weight them and tackle the ones that are most important for overall useability along with ease of complexity. Its a balance between fixing ones that need to be fixed for useability and also nabbing some low hanging fruit in conjunction with fixing more complex bugs. Quote Share this post Link to post
Omn1science Posted November 20, 2014 Montages are the absolute least of our worries right now. I agree, but I would still love to see theater fixed down the road. The little glitches like that are the ones that will either prevent the game from having true longevity or give it real longevity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Yoseph Posted November 20, 2014 Found another game breaking bug: The h1 killtac medal is called an overkill in the post game carnage report.I refuse to play and will demand a refund if this is not fixed 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Yoseph Posted November 20, 2014 Is any other CE players VERY nervous that they're "improving" head shot hitboxes? Hitboxes seem fine to me, I can three shot a standing target no problem. Latency and inconsistent lead is the issue. If they make the shooting in CE easy I'm gonna flip my shit and the worst part is that everyone who is used to newer Halos is gonna be all "the pistol is better now but it kills too fast" 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

If they make the shooting in CE easy I'm gonna flip my shit and the worst part is that everyone who is used to newer Halos is gonna be all "the pistol is better now but it kills too fast" Yeah, that made me a little concerned. I have no experience with the game hosting so I can never tell if my shots aren't registering or if the hitbox is bad. Quote Share this post Link to post
Slayer Posted November 20, 2014 This is obviously fake but still pretty damn cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKWgz1GQKxk&list=UUF069zFoCAlN9VHJFTGzzjg Definitely wish we could get to play that level its always been a big what if to me. What if halo 2 had actually been like the e3 gameplay we saw? It could have been even more amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post
