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

: 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

: 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

: believed everything else about the game was good to go. They knew, but
: deadlines are deadlines. Dealing with the fallout from releasing a bugged

: 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.

It's a shame because this is, no doubt, the best Forge we've ever had. I don't know if CA was responsible for anything other than Forge, but I feel like their excellent work is tarnished by this buggy product.

How am I supposed to even share my maps with anyone? What is even the point in making things at that point?

I feel like this is an indication of Forge's potential in Halo 5, but I might end up going back to Destiny pretty soon.
