MCC: Halo ODST likely to miss May UPDATE - it didn't but that's still bad somehow

This really isn't anything to be mad about.

There is plenty of other crap to hate Microsoft for (misleading us about everything else about MCC) but I don't know why any rational person would get mad about this.

Because they told us early spring and we're almost at the true start of summer. Why wouldn't people be upset about missed deadlines? Especially from 343 where it's become the norm to miss deadlines?
 
I mean, I would think that it working on release is more important than just releasing a broken mess. I'd hope that 343 have learned their lesson after the debacle that MCC caused. That said, Halo isn't what it used to be at all. I even enjoyed Halo 4, but this is making me glad I didn't get an Xbox One just for the fact that I know that Halo 5 would've been one of my most anticipated games.
 
Nice.

Yeah, Halo is dead to me. I mean, I liked parts of Halo 4, but played approximately 3 matches of multiplayer and never went back. The only reason I was going to get the XBox One was for MCC, but I waited, and now I'm so glad that I saved that money.

343 is a rag-tag group of programmers with no real vision of what made Halo good.

Halo 4 campaign was fantastic though and showed they knew what they were doing. Multiplayer was divisive at worst.

I wouldn't judge halo 5 off of the mess that is MCC. Most of MCC was outsourced to other studios.

I'd rather have ODST ready when it is functional. I am rather partial to that game.
See, this is the attitude 343+"the multiple other teams" should have had. Wait. Release MCC when it worked and was finished. No need to rush it.

Folks still getting outraged at Halo have more energy than me. 343 used up all my annoyance and anger before Halo 4 even launched. At this point I feel like a weary but patient parent. 343 has fucked up several times, but Halo is my favorite child and Halo 5 looks really good, so I'll give them another chance.
They got their 3 strikes with me when i came back to the MCC like 3-4 months after launch and still had problems playing with friends. Completely washed my hands with anything 343 is involved with. (strike 1 was how terrible H4 was and strike 2 was how completely broken the MCC was at launch and a week later and a month later)

Not saying i won't play Halo 5, i will borrow it from a friend down the road but i will never buy a halo product at retail new as long as 343 is involved.

Its incredible this generation how those devs or whoever is responsable for that, loves to open their mouth about a release date that they can not fulfill.

343i though... They're the ones that should not be doing that at all. After all the backlash against them and MCC issues they should be 1000 times more aware about what they post and promise.

Dude, Summer doesn't start until the end of June... Also what has 343 missed deadline wise? Halo 4 came out on time, same with MCC. The only problem 343 has had is with MCC updates, but those were not usually given exact release dates to begin with.

This is rich.

"MCC came out on time."

Right. When did it actually start to work?
 
MCC was stillborn. The doctors are trying to resuscitate the body but the parents are already dressing it up and taking it to birthday parties.

I'll be surprised if this game - at least the parts that I care about like Forge and Custom Games - ever ends up functioning properly.

On time, functionality be damned.
 
Can't really say I'm shocked. The fear of disappointing more fans (potential and otherwise) has them in a real bad spot.

Hope they put out a good product to make all this less memorable.

Morbid.

I woke up today excited. Told everyone I know about it.

Oh well.

What an all-around disaster. Microsoft and 343 should be ashamed of the quality they put out, the promises they keep making and the jokes they have become at this point. How the hell do you just fuck up your biggest franchise like that?

wtf?


Anyways, show of hands. Who expected it to launch this month?

I want to see who wasn't fazed like me on this.

The timing of this post just makes it all that much better.
