Re: I have to question the play testing for the MC

: With all of the glaring issues that plague this game, it's a wonder how long

: on my own based on the problems I've heard people having with co-op as

Here's an updated list of bugs in the game: http://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/2m3eef/formattedupdated_buglist_with_suggested/

I don't think it's likely all or even most of these will be fixed. Game-breaking things like being able to boot people in matchmaking will get fixed, but there's just too much here to expect fixes for all of it, keeping in mind that each fix also requires QA and certification.

If this game were 343i's flagship title, there might be reason to hope it gets fixed. It's not, though. Halo 5 is their big title. It's becoming increasingly clear that the MCC was a simple cash grab: Microsoft needed something to move Xbones during the holiday season, and Halo 5 isn't ready. So we got a hastily slapped together, unpolished product, on which most of the work was outsourced to other companies. I can believe the matchmaking debacle caught 343i by surprise simply because the impact of it is so huge for so many people, but it's unreasonable to think they believed everything else about the game was good to go. They knew, but deadlines are deadlines. Dealing with the fallout from releasing a bugged game was easier than moving Christmas.

Put another way: the reason the game was allowed to be released with these bugs is the same reason we shouldn't expect them to be fixed.
