On the bright side...
: 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.
If they fix it within two weeks, they can just say that everyone was participating in an exclusive "14 Day Buggy Play" promotion! Wouldn't put it past the BS machine that is 343 industries...
