It’s your prerogative to play or not play. We have some problems, for sure, but I’m really proud of the foundation the team was able to deliver.Įveryone's entitled to their opinion. I also know - and want to be very up front and honest - that the pace at which bigger changes are brought to bear will absolutely not be as fast as many want. I also realize that some players are just going to not play anymore - maybe they come back, maybe they don’t. I’m confident this game will continue to get better and better and all of these issues are fixable. If things today do not meet your expectations then I'm sorry you've been disappointed. For what it’s worth, we’re going to do what we can as soon as we can. And, we’re 4 days from a global launch with holidays right after. Everything has downstream dependencies and knock on effects. Triaging these feedback issues and finding ‘what CAN we do now’ is what the team is already doing and will continue doing. It's just not quite as trivial as ‘pushing a button.’ And at the scale and complexity of this game - any and every change could have monumental impact in a negative way without extensive testing. But, I will try to at least provide some context for those who are interested. We have had people working their asses off for years to try and deliver the best Halo game they can amidst very challenging circumstances. I don't personally agree we ‘owe’ folks a detailed dissertation on ‘what 343 has been doing the last 6 years’ or ‘who ever thought this was a good idea’, etc. We do that regardless of it being positive or negative and always will. It’s my job to come in here, listen, take it on the chin, and despite personally being very put off by the way in which many are expressing themselves, still ensure that we are advocating for players internally. And I’m not saying myself 343 are a ‘victim’ in any way – that’s yet another narrative some folks here have chosen to apply. as you want, but I’ve never lied to this community and never will. When we have some updates to share I’ll be back.įirst, I’m going to stress again that I 100% understand and generally agree with the frustrations most are expressing even if I don’t agree with the attacks and ways in which some choose to express those feelings. “I can’t reply to every person yelling at me/343 here so want to just share a few final things to take or leave as you see fit.
#HALO REDDIT LOCKDOWN FULL#
You can check out his full post here but here are a few excerpts to get you started: According to Eurogamer, “Someone criticising the game doesn't mean you get to say they're an ‘entitled crybaby manchild,’” and “Someone saying they're fine with the game or to give it some time doesn't mean you can call them a ‘bootlicking dicksucker,’” are just some of the comments that the moderators have had to deal with.ģ43 Industries’ Community Director Brian “Ske7ch” Jarrard also wrote a rather lengthy post to address the issue. Loadouts and sprinting are a staple feature for most multiplayer shooters but the community would rather the developers have stuck to how it had always been done.Īs is the norm today, players voiced their complaints on the Halo subreddit, which led to a full-blown flame war. The spark that lit the fire was Halo Infinite’s apparent lack of game modes, the transition from having weapon drops to a loadout system, and the addition of sprinting. The new developer proceeded to make changes to the game that fans and veterans of the old game aren’t happy about. If you'll remember, Halo games are now being developed by 343 Industries after the franchise was handed over to them when Bungie partnered with Activision.
Take the weekend off, we're reopening on Monday,” they added. At the end of the day, this is a video game and this level of vitriol is unwarranted. “We're temporarily putting the sub on lockdown so people can hopefully settle down a bit and we can hit the reset button before launch. “Some users on the sub have even been responsible for doxxing and death threats.”
#HALO REDDIT LOCKDOWN MOD#
“The amount of toxicity on the sub from both sides has made it impossible for people to have civil discussions, which is what the mod team strives for regardless of opinion,” the moderators wrote. The matter has apparently gotten so out of hand that the moderators felt the need to put everyone on a timeout and advised them to “take the weekend off.” The entire Halo subreddit has been temporarily shut down due to aggressive behavior and toxicity from both the Halo Infinite community and the game’s developers.
