It’s a little strange, because he really does emphasize that many of the issues players are complaining about are obvious to everyone, even the team, and that keeps the question open of why they didn’t address some of this earlier, especially with a year delay. I don't believe anyone at 343 thought not having Slayer was a 'good idea.” “We would love to have modes and experiences that meet player expectations vs. Is this week's Ultimate Reward of just an emblem really worth the grind? There's a lot of work to do - we are all in agreement there.”Īnd on the promised, upcoming Slayer playlist, which will not launch until next year: “I did not really enjoy having to grind through 20+ games of Quick Play to hopefully get Oddball so I could hopefully win 3 times to complete a challenge. But, I will try to at least provide some context for those who are interested.”Īn interesting section in which he talks about how he himself can clearly see many of the issues with the current challenge/reward system:

We have had people working their asses off for years to try and deliver the best Halo game they can amidst very challenging circumstances. “I don't personally agree we 'owe' folks a detailed dissertation on 'what 343 has been doing the last 6 years' or 'who ever thought this was a good idea', etc. We do that regardless of it being positive or negative and always will.” It's my job to come in here, listen, franky take it on the chin, and despite personally being very put off by the way in which many are expressing themselves, still ensure that we are advocating for players internally. And I'm not saying myself are 343 are a 'victim' in any way - that's yet another narrative some folks here have chosen to apply. as you want, but I've never lied to this community and never will. Call me a shill, a liar, corp speak, etc. “First, I'm going to stress again that I 100% understand and generally agree with the frustrations most are expressing even if I don't agree with the attacks and ways in which some choose to express those feelings.
