    When did criticism become bad? Shouldn't they want people who question everything?

    Sorry that's how things worked out multi.

    Speaking of criticism, this anneversary playlist is just disappointing me... Haha.

    It's great, don't get me wrong but not if you actually know the maps.

    1. Why's oddball being played on Highground?
    2. Why's the door closed on Highground for team slayer and oddball?
    3. Why's citadel like 50% times overscaled?
    4. I haven't seen any king of the hill, what's the percentage for the rotation?
    5. Where is g1-g2 on guardian? And s1-s2? And bottom mid lift jump? And every other jump?
    6. Why's the pit big and have huge cover and where are the jumps?
    7. Why do we have AR starts when you can zoom in?
    8. No narrows or construct? There are remakes with the same quality of the maps already in it?

    Still fun, but most of these are easily fixable things.

    I've got a couple things to say as well:

    1. That's truly unfortunate, Multi. I don't agree with you on many things when it comes to level design, but I don't question the passion you have for it.

    2. While I agree that it was a crappy thing to do, I don't think it's fair to go after this person for what Multi has said. Our words and actions have consequences. Sometimes very harsh ones.

    I've gone through a similar experience with Redlynx (Trials developer).

    I'm sorry to hear about this terrible time for you Multi. I know it is especially depressing for you, but just know, we are feeling some of the hurt with you. You entering the hiring stages at 343 brought hope to many of us who have dreamed of working to help build the world of halo. I hope things turn around for you forge brother.

    The Highground door isn't opening during the cinematics for Team Slayer? I thought that was working. It's supposed to be closed until someone hits the switch for other modes, isn't it?

    That's literally the exact reason that I used Ben Shapiro's words instead of posting a video a while back. Sure, I could've just posted a video, but this is exactly how people react and don't actually care about the ideas being presented. It's just another way to deflect, and deflection is a whole lot easier than critical thinking.

    What about "Mainstay?"

    Or in honor of the fallen, "Multiplex?"

    It's some sort of processing plant, similar to Longshore.

    Anyone know what the settings changes (in game values) that are involved in the H3 settings currently used in the playlist for MM?

    Code:
    Here's the breakdown of the gameplay settings changes that are unique to this playlist:
    ◾Motion Tracker range is increased to 25m
    ◾All Spartan Abilities are disabled (Sprint, Ground Pound, Spartan Charge, Stabilize, and Clamber)
    ◾Player jump height is increased
    ◾Slightly increased the effect of gravity on players
    ◾Player movement speed decreased
    ◾Increased player forward and strafe acceleration
    ◾Adjusted shield and health recharge rate to approximate Halo 3 values
    ◾Classic Team Oddball: Reduced ball carrier movement speed
    ◾Classic Multi-Flag CTF: Reduced flag carrier movement speed

    343/Microsoft doesn't deserve my money, nor does it deserve yours. They have admitted that they are spineless, incompetent, and care nothing for the ship that they helm.

    As far as the reddit poster - there are producers, and there are mooches-- and then there are the cancerous, joyless bastards who hate to see success.

    I'm sure his has been said 30 times, but I can't be bothered to read 10 more pages of '343 sucks' before I get this off my mind.

    I'm not buying halo 6 until after the price drops or I can find it used, why should I bother funding a company that pulls this kind of ****?

    It's an admission that they didn't actually do their due diligence to find out how much of a **** you can be, and had to rely on a 'whistleblower' - how many people do 343 and Microsoft have on their HR payroll, how much money do they have to throw at background checks, how come they couldn't find all this out before?

    In short, their actions admit not only their incompetence, but also their commitment to covering their ass, commitment to not better themselves, their games, their esteem in the Halo community, their reputation as developers, and their commitment to throwing those who do love the game under the bus in favor of those who love the game as they see it because they hated the games that came before, the games that most of us know and love.

    I admit I have next to no idea what I'm doing when it comes to designing maps - for me to land a position in the industry would likely be a miracle - but seeing that 343 and Microsoft are so easily butthurt/swayed by the hurt feelings of a disgruntled forger/designer/artist/cider/mptester/communitymember/somenobody based on commonly held, well-understood, and easily verifiable views on their content and history as creators, it makes me want to never have anything to do with them again, but it also makes me fear that anything I've ever said might be grounds for such a dismissal/denial/whatever, if I were to have the opportunity to achieve such a position. At least there was hope - now what do we have? A guarantee that Halo 6 will do nothing differently? A big middle finger from 343?

    Now, sure, they're a private company, but this shows that they value 'saving face' (with whom?) over creating new games, with interesting changes and returning the franchise to its EXTREMELY PROFITABLE and beloved roots.

    Hope this is professional enough for the team at 343 and Microsoft - but then again, I think I'll take my (scant) talents and love for Halo elsewhere.

    I disagree. It was probably some loser who lives with his mommy still feeding of the tit but is so salty he went out of his way to ruin it for multi. I think his life should be ruined as well. And come on 343, you should want to hire someone who is the most critical of your work yet passionate about your game. Geez I'm sorry multi.

    I see the Game Mode Options available in Customs. I'll fill in numbers in your quote. Not sure What the last 2 items mean for reduced ball/flag carrier speed. Everything in those is set to 100% so I assume they're they same as regular players.

    Should Ball Throwing be turned ON for H3? Wait, I'm gonna say that it definitely should be turned on regardless.
