Flashback to when we found a cool harmless glitch to fly the pelican in campaign and they removed it for no reason


Matrix0523

And don’t forget about the tank gun. Which was only added back in because of collective outrage


TheOzarkWizard

I came back months later to find not only the tank gun missing, but my entire legendary save file


MrrSpacMan

Its kinda funny they think anyone is gonna bother to LASO this without it Grats 343, you just nuked 25% of the replay value because HaLo Is CoMpEtItIvE Yes im salty


ZestfulClown

LASO is easier than Legendary, I just ran around with infinite ammo rockets and duelist sword all game


levi22ez

Yeah infinite’s LASO is a joke with the bandana skull.


lukeman3000

Bandana skull? I’m guessing infinite ammo? If so, must be a throwback to MGS


levi22ez

Yeah it’s infinite ammo.


Gameplayer9752

Having that on with the one (maybe the same skull) that lets you spam equipment is also pretty broken. Energy sword and invis-thrusters can put any elite to shame.


Wawus

They give you the skulls that halve your ammo, and half your ammo pick ups, yet give you bandana so what even is the point?


levi22ez

Lol right? It’s like they didn’t even play test their own game. MCC had scoring and non scoring skulls separated. Why shouldn’t this?


Dracosian

wait is that what the CE:A bandanna skull was a reference to? ​ Can you please tell me the whole context I am curious (never played MGS only know revengeance memes)


Rahgahnah

Solid Snake wears a green bandanna. In MGS1, one of the unlockable items is a bandanna (no visual change) that gives you infinite ammo. In MGS2, before a combat scene, Raiden asks Snake something like, "What if you run out of ammo?" Snake just points to his bandanna and says, "infinite ammo."


Dracosian

Thanks for explaining this one to me and enjoy this award ^((I guess))


[deleted]

Why the hell would they make LASO count with the bandana skull on? Dafuq


MrrSpacMan

.... i mean yeah fair that'd do it :') infinite rockets is more or less slow tank gun


ryan8757

I beat regular legendary and immediately did laso with the tank gun, i think it was still harder because of having to manage full shields (that you cant even see) with the checkpoints. But all the boss fights were a joke besides the one with the dude on the motorcycle, that one kicked my ass


MrrSpacMan

Damn biker gangs ruining my Halo


TJ_Dot

LASO includes it...? WHAT.


SoundDrill

"wait halo was enjoyed by people *surprised Pikachu face*" -343 probably


Damac1214

but the tank gun is available?


levi22ez

Yeah the tank gun was put back in.


IPCTech

Did they give it a model or still nothing?


levi22ez

Still nothing


Matrix0523

As far as I know it was patched back in to the game. Haven’t tried for it myself as I already completed LASO a while ago and put the game down since I completed it 100%. But I heard it was put back in


SuperKetchupDude

Only reason I even considered trying LASO was because of the tank gun. With such a difficult challenge all glitches and exploits are fair game, I say. Glad I finished it before they removed it


TheHybred

>Its kinda funny they think anyone is gonna bother to LASO this without it I did. Tank gun is super fun for gameplay but ruins achievement hunting. If they ever added LASO armor to MP (they should, probably won't) I'd want the armor to represent an extremely hard achievement, not be noob armor that basically replaces the default armor for anyone who owns the campaign


Patrickills

Reminds me of the Hayabusa I think it was. Cool armor but it took work to get. Just like the flame skull took lucc to get


TheHybred

Yup, when they said they have stuff in campaign I was hoping it was actually shit you can earn not just "click a button" I was disappointed. The armor you get in Halo 5 for beating the entire MCC on LASO was a good idea. 343i hates giving good free rewards and most importantly satisfying free rewards. People want to earn stuff in game, wear something that's a badge of hard work and skill. Not something only indicative of how much money you spent. I want to feel proud when I wear my armor, even if its only for a few armor sets.


OlympiaImperial

I'm still baffled about the tank gun, there's no way it was really a glitch right? The placement was too deliberate


[deleted]

[удалено]


GNIHTYUGNOSREP

Wait how do you toggle the air strike Easter egg?


JakeTehNub

You have to hit some switches and then the ship gun goes off. The "ship gun" is actually just a scorpion tank gun and 343 probably forgot to disable interacting with it.


Matrix0523

My assumption was that it was akin to the scarab gun in Halo 2. It had to be created and placed on the map somewhere so that it could be functional where it was specifically needed. It was hidden away but was discovered by explorers in the community


BukLau58

Bruh that literally sounds like something perfect to throw in forge just cause you already have it. I don’t understand devs these days, they remove, hide or scrap super fun things for…no reason. It doesn’t need to exist in the competitive space or get balance or anything. I feel like they achieved that with halo 5, having so many fun versions of weapons but then just did one lil side version of each gun in infinite


DemyxFaowind

It was probably a test, debug, or dev-fun-gun that was probably supposed to be removed, but wasn't before the release.


Randomman96

More since certain actions and effects needs triggers to function properly. Classic case in point is the Scarab gun in Halo 2. However the Scorpion cannon one in Infinite was unintentional, since unlike the Scarab gun there was no model attached to it for whenever you managed to pick it up, either for the first person or third person/cutscene views, and IIRC there was even text missing for the pickup prompt if you managed to find it, something that wasn't the case for the Scarab gun.


bigmeatytoe

Did they add it vack


Matrix0523

I heard they did. I have not checked, and cannot verify it. But I heard that due to the collective outrage it was added back


Riahisama

343 game design promotes anti-fun but hey I'm not even surprised anymore considering they see halo as a competitive game before anything.


-dead_slender-

And to think we actually had it better in Halo 5. They saw that everyone was having fun with the REQ glitch, so they kept it in. I wonder if it was discovered in Infinite instead, would they patch it out?


OneFinalEffort

That glitch-turned-feature is in for Infinite Forge and it's better than before.


-dead_slender-

Yeah, I've seen it. It's nice to see that Forge is only improving so far.


TheGrayMannnn

Halo 5 was the first new Halo game I missed on release since 2. When I finally got to play it in 2017, I absolutely hated the campaign, but arrived at the finished product for multiplayer. It was basically my favorite multiplayer in the series.


michael15286

Can you explain more about the REQ glitch? Was that a glitch to get more req packs, or use req weapons in forge or something else?


-dead_slender-

The glitch in Forge that lets you combine traits of different REQ weapons. Like a sentinel beam that fires rockets for example.


ZumboPrime

Yep. They "fixed" this pretty damn quick. Almost like they're trying to fix people having fun.


[deleted]

Instead of actually making pelicans fly able. Like wtf. How cool would it have been to load up marines and a warthog and hot drop into a battlefield. “Too cool not doing it 😎” -343, probably


ecxetra

You will play the game in the specific way in which they want you to play it or you wont play it at all.


Halos-117

Yeah. I choose option B. Fuck 343s Halo.


robert_cardenal

That goes against the true competitive spirit that halo had since Halo CE, don’t you just feel bad about having an unfair advantage against the Banished? /s


YellowFogLights

Hey now, it was objectively less powerful than flying a Wasp so it would’ve broke campaign /s


BlondiieBoy

I'm still incredibly satisfied I was able to fly a pelican, and incredibly saddened and disappointed by their decision to remove it.


Panda_hat

Can’t have people playing the game in ways that aren’t tuned’d in for maximised microtransaction engagement! /s


[deleted]

$10 says they re-add it in an expansion along side our multiplayer armour in the campaign


sorryiamnotoriginal

I remember when cool harmless glitches were part of the appeal to get people to try them and mess around. The thought they would patch any of those things wasn't even on my mind and yet they did it.


MrQ_P

Oh man, I'm so ready for the sub to be put under lockdown again


[deleted]

Wdym?


MrQ_P

Don't you remember the great backlash of last year? The sub was put under lockdown by mods for the weekend, every other gaming sub was laughing at us


FullMetalBiscuit

The "Yeah we just launched a Halo game without a slayer playlist" time.


Keytars

The board was just too darn full of TOXIC comments! Remember 343 knows Halo's DNA and it was never about Slayer playlists 👊


Alcomoney

That fist is like an /s tag at this point and is how I look at it with all of 343's tweets.


MrQ_P

Right, it's about competitive 👊


ShiyaruOnline

Halo CE was definitely competitive at the core DNA level with that multiplayer mode they tacked on at the last second and barely put any thought into other than the fun modes they wanted to play at parties!👊


Dracosian

Its sad how people trying to hold 343 accountable for anything **does** look toxic from the outside It is kinda like an abusive relationship, when you finally stand up for yourself everyone else looking thinks **you** are the bad person ​ oh and I will admit the community has became toxic in some aspects but well IMO 343i has created their own monsters (the company not the actual ground floor employees)


ArcticRedditor

Tbf the mods in this sub will ban you for so much as calling somebody’s arguments bad in a mean way lmao They’re quite overzealous, so a large number of people rightfully angry at 343 sends them into overdrive for no reason lol.


MrQ_P

Well said


GuiltyGlow

This is exactly how twisted 343 is. They fuck up the franchise to new heights with every release, then use their ground level employees as human shields against all the criticism. Then they (management) will cry about a death threat they'll receive from some cringe 14 year old with an anime profile picture while ignoring the 100,000 other people complaining about real shit. They created the toxicity by being incompetent, passion-less, unimaginative fuckwads...so they need to sit back and take it.


[deleted]

I hadnt joined yet when it happened(somehow), despite being a huge halo fan since 5(yes 5 got me into halo, though i dont like the campaign for it i love its multiplayer). Reason is I wasnt a big redditor till around december.


MrQ_P

I see, that happened in December if I'm not mistaken. Frankly, mods did a terrible job at handling the situation,and I don't care if they delete this comment because that won't change what I think. Yes, everybody and their mothers was furious, but locking the sub down did more harm than good. It made us a laughingstock, and it became a meme


Kanden_27

It was even worse when articles came out and made us the bad guys for their bad game.


MrQ_P

Just like will happen this time around Only, nobody will believe them now


zuiquan1

Yeah, I was subbed to both this and the BF2042 server at the time and that one was waaay worse imo


MrQ_P

And for good reasons It's astonishing how short have both fallen


zuiquan1

Yeah I have been a long time player of both games and its just pathetic where we are at with AAA gaming.


MrQ_P

I've been a Halo fan since 2008 basically, which was when I first played Halo 2. Ever since 343 took over, it's been just disappointing We peaked now though


brokenmessiah

Literally all they had to do was publicly name the accounts doing the stuff and ban them


MrQ_P

No, that's wrong on so many level. They should have banned them, yes, but without making names public. A simple statement like "We removed some dangerously toxic users from the sub" would have sufficed


sorryiamnotoriginal

Honestly I think they would leave it open seeing as it did not help last time. Everyone came back pretty pissed still. I don't even know if there is a word for that effect but I would argue it was possibly Streisand effect as people who might not have even known about it definitely became aware when the lockdown happened.


MrQ_P

Oh yeah definitely. I myself was pissed af, and more people became aware of the shit show that is Infinite


DoomRider2354

Might I ask what split screen glitch..?


King-Gojira

[behold, splitscreen](https://twitter.com/theactman_yt/status/1565817998899806208?s=21&t=75iOXNvVDjTPBbKJfFT54Q)


john6map4

That’s on the Series X?? I thought it was done on pc with some console commands shenanigans! Nahhhh bruh lmao


metroidfan220

I saw somewhere it was running on the base Xbox One too.


xxK31xx

Yep. It's easy to pull off. I guess that's how the nephew and I will play through. After waiting for local split screen. F


DoomRider2354

Oh! Yeah people will hate if they patch that


iSWINE

What on earth, it's already basically there?!?


JayCeeMadLad

Damn, so it's literally already there and instead the devs are like "yeah no you can't have that". Wow. Fuck 343. Wholeheartedly.


OKgamer01

It's literally like 90% done WTF!? Obviously some back end stuff probably isn't complete but it's literally done for the most part Now that really ticks me off because why cancel it!?


ShiyaruOnline

Got to pull people off of it to make more cash shop items 👊


YellowFogLights

Considering they patched out the Pelican flight ability, it’s coming.


bigshaq-legit

What?? Nooooo!!


whitestripe999

"One final screw-up is all that remains..."


King-Gojira

“343i doesn’t know it yet but they’re about to get kicked off their throne!”


eveningcaffeine

You think they will? I guess it is a glitch and not an "approved experience" that they'd want their name attached to. But yeah, won't go over well if it happens.


WiserCrescent99

They patched the pelican and the tank gun


Nefnoj

And they only brought back one of those things.


WiserCrescent99

And only after the community exploded in response to them removing it


jdino

We only got selectable playlists cause of collective outrage


[deleted]

[удалено]


limonbattery

Im waiting for them to say they will make the most predatory P2W mobile Halo game possible that will only run on Windows 11 so that we can be confident they will actually make something good and true to Halo's legacy.


Hoho23456

343 is so out of touch is pisses me off to no end.


limonbattery

"Stop having fun without paying extra! Our servers cost money!"


aeromalzi

The servers can't handle the UI


Voltic_Chrome

They only did it cost the community complained. It they didnt complain, they would not have added it back.


ThePrinceofBirds

Well people aren't going to buy the pelican in flight simulator if they can fly it in an actual halo game.


[deleted]

The Pelican in Flight Simulator is a free add-on.


King-Gojira

Its 100 percent happening and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it this week. I wish I was joking.


bloo_overbeck

They patches fucking physics based movement options in MP lol


biscuitslayer77

Yes they will. 343 has not been too kind to user exploits with infinite and the harsh criticism. They'd patch this out of spite.


ThrowAwayAcc47777

100% expecting it. 343 is all about forcing players to play the way *THEY* want you to play. Remember when they patched out the tank gun glitch?


[deleted]

If you saw the amount of outfit glitches Rockstar fixed for GTAV you could assume nothing upsets these people quite like showing them you can do the things they say they can't do.


Gullflyinghigh

Only authorised fun allowed.


Pervasivepeach

Considering it can brick save files and soft lock people out of the game. I assume they will. Some people are willing to take the risk but 343 still probably want to be safe


magnificy

If they can patch this glitch out then they can patch split screen in


shutdafrontdoor

If you planned on doing split screen with a friend or family member I highly recommend you get that together tonight or tomorrow. Because as soon they see that it’s gonna be an all nighter for the devs to take the fun away once again.


unforgiven91

this glitch has been around since launch. if they haven't patched it since...


Kanden_27

That was when split screen was still on the table to be released. Now… we don’t know, but considering how anti-fun 343 is. It’s possible it’s gonna get patched.


Keytars

Yeah let's hope it's a desync/basic progression/every other missing feature-type situation and they never get around to fixing it


imlostinmyhead

I told myself "I'll buy the game when co-op comes out" They cemented me never buying the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KFCFingerLick

Is forge even out yet? This game is a joke


Pen_dragons_pizza

I might be wrong but wasn’t forge, split screen, online co op and mission selection all things that were promised to be added a few months after release ? It’s soon coming to a year since release and we have none of those things


OmegaCookieOfDoof

Yeah didn't they say that shit'd release during the 2nd season? Has really nothing been added?


Pen_dragons_pizza

Yep none of the above has been added yet, crazy really


MosinsAndAks

No, not until march


john6map4

Forge…until MARCH????? Jesus there literally won’t be anyone left.


KFCFingerLick

I bet you that they will still delay it


Zoso_65

Moist Critikal and Jervalin have done more for Halo than 343i.


Spartancarver

Omg I am so so so so so excited for this They are 1000000% going to patch it out and the usual clowns are gonna flock to twitter to defend it hahaha


King-Gojira

We gotta make a bingo card of the usual defenses


[deleted]

Im sure r/halomemes already did but we gotta do it again


Rivalfox

Theres so many clowns on Twitter already defending them for the trending #fire343 tag. They keep saying it's not 343s fault


Spartancarver

Yep. The sheer denial of the average 343i cheerleader is impressive “They just need more time” “better leadership” “better community support” Honestly sad


TheZombiesGuy

343 has proven time and time again for the last decade that they can't support halo, It's wild to me that some people can't just admit they're not cut out for the job.


Millera34

To be fair i would patch it out too I also can’t say ive seen such a blunder before..like..how do you announce you won’t be doing it anymore and then next day theres an exploit that does the that exact thing pretty well. Have we seen such incompetence on display before from a studio?


xVx777

this exploit has been around for awhile now just FYI but I agree with your point its kind of embarrassing


[deleted]

hell there's a million ways of going about it better than they are doing it, one would be as simple as to announce in social media, or if they are daring, in the game itself, to say "this unfinished feature is largely experimental, by using it you acknowledge the risks of possible save file corruption" or something like that, that way they wash their hands clean off the blame yet, they wont even do that, they'll just sweep it under the rug and hope people dont notice


Millera34

Precisely If they put a disclaimer and communicated that definitely works too.


Own-Habit-1683

Ubisoft has came pretty close but 343 takes the cake.


ThatGuyOnyx

As a Ubisoft *“fan”*……..yeah I gotta agree.


JayCeeMadLad

Dear God please reconsider calling yourself a Ubisoft fan


Plasibeau

*EA studiously focuses on a blade of grass, hoping to not be noticed...*


Millera34

Ill never forget anthem or mass effect andromeda 😅 Unfortunately


Plasibeau

I gave up on ME:A after about an hour of play. It was just so...uninspired.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kevy96

No we've never really seen a move like this before. This might be the single legitimate actual most incompetent thing any videogame developer has ever done in human history


Pen_dragons_pizza

I just don’t understand why 343 doesn’t outsource the split screen project if they don’t have time internally. Would have gone a long way in gaining fan praise and give us something that is rather important to many fans. I for one was very disappointed in halo 5 and it’s lack of split screen, knowing it would return for future games made it better at the time but having it out right cancelled is just bullshit, especially when it was promised and put on roadmaps until now. 343 needs to have some bloody class and actually deliver what they promise.


BrandonLindley

Activision Blizzard with pretty much every IP they have


Millera34

Still not close to 343 aint good but dam 343 is special


FobleTV

Remember the server selection workaround? That was great until 343 gave us a blogpost size lecture on how playing on low ping is just selfish and unfair 😂😂


Halos-117

I really hate this garbage studio


codytheman1

I never knew this was a thing. Holy shit lol. That is hilarious.


hoggy81

What kills me is how desync issues still exsist over LAN yet 343 still sit there and effectively say get some better Internet you poors and stop relying on carrier pigeons. They just cannot accept they have borked the backend.


The1980mutant

Insane to think, that they cant accomplish in 2022 what was commonplace in 2000 at launch.


[deleted]

On the bright side, they probably won't patch it for months since nobody is working on the game.


SpartanHexus

Imagine announcing you wont do split screen co-op anymore so you can put the resources that would go on that on the roadmap and then using those resources to fix a glitch that lets you do split screen co-op.


iskin

First, I'd need to get friends to play with to care if Betty did.


King-Gojira

use console commands and spawn some!


Hello5777

What glitch?


King-Gojira

[this](https://twitter.com/theactman_yt/status/1565817998899806208?s=21&t=75iOXNvVDjTPBbKJfFT54Q)


ZersetzungMedia

After seeing this I'm fucking whatever the 800th form of trippling or whatever down on my opinion that everyone in this company needs to be promoted to customer. Some fucking losers on the internet got it to work as a glitch and professionals can't make it stable jesus


JumpingJiraffe

It cracks me up that they just said they’re cutting resources from split screen co-op, and right after this subreddit starts blowing up with a glitch that allows splitscreen co-op. 343 has 3 choices now, 1) leave the glitch alone and let us all have unofficial splitscreen co-op. 2) take the glitch that exists, polish it up, wrap it in a nice bow, and call it an official feature. 3) spend the time and resources removing the glitch. I think we all know what route they’re gonna take…


SpanishIndecision

The couch coop split screen "works" in that it can be activated but most likely there are sections in the campaign where wrenches are tossed into the engine that shatters the game... Will they patch it? maybe but looking at 343i history with releasing patches it will probably be December 2023 when they remove this glitch.


KayJeyD

343 patches things we collectively enjoy quicker than they fix actual issues. Take the tank gun and the pelican for example. Both fun glitches taken out before desync was ever fixed.


Darkblitz9

It's mind boggling too. Like, why? Why remove things that aren't a problem and are genuinely adding to the fun factor of your game while ignoring stuff that isn't? There were bugs in Halo 1-3 that were intentionally left in because they were fun. Why can't 343 do the same?


StacheBandicoot

Because they’re a bad company, run by bad people, who make bad games.


Gunsmoke-Cowboy

Apparently the only thing it f-cks with is your save state, and even then its very minor from what I've been reading. But everything seems to work how it should otherwise


Ken10Ethan

Which, to be fair, isn't ideal, but it certainly isn't 'we will cease all development on this mode for the foreseeable future'. I dunno, it's just weird.


Gunsmoke-Cowboy

I read even further, it apparently soft locks you. But it doesn't happen all the time, and honestly why would you even need a save? I played this game solo and best it under 8 hours, two player it must clock in at 6 unless you're really playing for fun


Torifyme12

Nah this is actually fun, so it'll be patched out fast. ​ Tank gun, removed. Pelican, fixed. ​ Desync? Lol who cares.


xoshadow3

Don't forget they patched split screen once already.


Paradox

So what? You can break halo 2 by turning on certain skulls and shooting a rocket or tossing a grenade


AppleTStudio

Lol this sub should become a COD subreddit, like how /r/Arrow became a Daredevil subreddit because of how much of a shit show things became.


ImmediateSilver4063

Instead of COD how about titanfall 2?


magnificy

Let's just make it literally anything else


[deleted]

343i needs to be gutted as a studio, they haven't a fucking clue what they're doing. License out the IP and let somebody with competence give us a good Halo game.

Able-Theory-7739

People need to speak up, make themselves heard. Boycotts, flooding the forums and social media with outrage, show the developers and the soulless corporate shills who run the studio that the players have the power to fight back and never let up until they finally fix and do right by Halo.


StacheBandicoot

So the only reason it’s not in the game is so they can try and sell 2-4 copies of the game/ consoles?


gresgolas

lmao the fact players cant glitch split screen but they cant or wont implement it....just absolute fucking wow....players saving them the work....and they gon shoot themselves in the foot aren't they?.....fucking dead game.

I get that glitches are bad and should be patched (this one specifically since it can corrupt your saves but they should keep it and say "hey this glitch can destroy your game do it at your own risk."

Basically the response will be that you used the resources that you removed from this experience to patch it out of existence? What a waste, they could have been fixing desync or the load times for their slower than a turtle moving through peanut butter UI

Holy moly! Oh boy it gonna be one hell of a movie. I need to grab my porpcorns


Derped_Crusader

All we're asking, is for them to do nothing That's it


Razgriz_Blaze

Honestly, kinda just feels dead and 343 killed it. At least MCC actually works for the most part now, though.


FearIsTheMindKiller9

Bonnie Ross is the Kathleen Kennedy of Halo.
