"it's free therefore it's ok that it is terribly made"
great argument!
I'm sorry, but how is it possible that a 20 man team can change game modes, playlists and whole menu layouts around within 2-3 days as a reaction to fan feedback, yet a AAA studio can't do the same?
I'm not buying it. they clearly don't want to implement all modes and instead drip feed them slowly so that they have "content" for later updates.
every Halo game before this one launched with a huge variety of playlists in multiplayer. usually Social Slayer, Big Team Slayer, Action Sack, SWAT, Ranked Slayer, Ranked Objectives and in addition to these basic modes, games since Reach usually had a new game mode in addition to that. for Reach it was multiple different Invasion modes, for Halo 4 it was Domination and in 5 it was 2 new entries, Warzone and Breakout
now this game launches, and it has 3 playlists.
STOP making excuses for this team... there is no excuse for this. and denying the obvious helps noone.
they clearly and deliberately launched in a barren state so that they can milk the game for content long enough to actually finish the game, which will take at least another 9 months.
them not implementing a Social Slayer playlist faster is clearly in order to not make people expect to get fast updates, because they would run out of content fast.
the game mode already exists, it is already in the game, it just doesn't have it's on playlist.
wouldn't you agree that the act of implementing these new playlist they will implement this month will take exactly the same steps as implementing a Social Slayer playlist? implementing a playlist for one mode certainly is exactly the same as implementing a playlist for another mode. what exactly in your mind is the holdup then? they will implement multiple new playlists this month, but somehow it is impossible to also implement Social Slayer in tandem with the others? and you believe them that?
I am once again sorry that I am not bending over and let them ram their PR nonsense up my anus, but you go ahead... open wide!
