Reply to comment by SPARTANsui in Microsoft-Activision deal: Gamers sue to stop merger by marketrent

Apparently Titanfall 2 is by far one of the greatest MP games out there right now and it’s still being played by a lot of people. From what I’m told they almost 100% fixed everything wrong with the first one but I haven’t played it to say it’s true.

MS does have the Coalition which make Gears of War games and they seem not as incompetent as 343. The problem with 343 is that the people that made Halo just left and what’s left are people that know jack shit about Halo.

I’m personally not invested in any of this shit anymore since AAA games have been absolute trash for about a decade now.

IMO Titanfall 2 is the best FPS. I have 600 hours of gameplay, however it's completely broken right now. It has been since October.

Prior to that it was being targeted for over a year and Respawn hardly did anything to actually correct the issue. I remember for the longest time you couldn't see the current player count. Then it came back one day and it was actually playable for several months. Then October (maybe September?) rolled around and most servers were unplayable. You'd get into a game, the latency would spike up to 1,000+ms and you'd be disconnected. Right now there's two servers you can play on and they're across the world.

I did forget about the Coalition, it will be interesting to see their new IP they're working on and what they have in mind for a GoW sequel.

For 343i it's not only that but it's the fact they don't really have "employees" working on the game, but contractors. From my understanding turnover is high and the people that actually built the game weren't even around any longer to see the release of the game. The game engine also sounds like it's difficult to work with which compounds the issue of not having the people that built the game around any longer.

I've been let down by most AAA studios, so I agree with that.
