How is that defensible? I actually don't get the people defending this.

That's totally false. The game has had multiple showings at E3 showing only the campaign.He said it won't be available at launch, and that he will have more news on it soon.
You seem to be fixated on the second part, but not paying any attention to how medieval it is to launch an online game, advertised almost exclusively for its multiplayer, and the tech available in its multiplayer, to not have a function as basic as inviting friends in said multiplayer mode (ironically a feature that was popularized on consoles by none other than Microsoft).
Who's defending this?It's not there at launch.

I'm not defending it. Just not stressin about it because I know it won't take long before they add it. I also see the multiplayer as an extra rather than its main event.It's not there at launch.

But thing is: is there really any cloud tech behind this? honestly, the level of destruction on these videos doesnt seem some impossible to manage for an XboxX.
the cynic in me thinks they didnt finally use that feature and thats the reason im not seeing it being pushed as a big marketing point
Even Splatoon lets you join your friends, if nothing else lol
maybe this will let me join the opposite team of my friend after waiting through a bunch of games too eventually
There's like one guy saying not every multiplayer game needs parties.... Everyone else acknowledged that it should be in the game.
Hard disagree here. If it were anything but an Xbox game, it'd get a pass and most would exhibit a bit more patience on the topic and trust that it'd be patched in, not long after release. #Facts
Competitive mode with destruction. The two player coop will just work fine. (I think)
Okay thanks. That's what I thought, but I kept seeing people say coop at times when I don't think that's what they were actually talking about lol
This is Fantastic? Really? You realise you can have a friends option and still join randoms to make friends if you want right"?i made some really good friends back in the day by playing Left 4 Dead with randoms. just think of all the new friends i will make by playing CD3. this is fantastic

Oh ok...hard to tell around here.

Overly aggressive? How do you figure that? I'm sharing my opinion. Nothing more, nothing less, just like you. I'm going to enjoy the game regardless. I already have. Not having co op day one isnt going to change that.Not entirely sure I want to respond since you seem overly aggressive to anyone who disagrees with you, but we do not know that it is "on the table at some point". What we do know is that there will be more news at some point. And my educated guess (which is just as worthless as yours or anyone else's) is that it will come with a caveat - it'll be region-locked.
Okay, how does this even happen? Isn't the multiplayer supposed to be the point of the game?

And my nor your opinion is worthless. At least, mine isnt. It counts just like anyone else's. If it changes anything, we'll have to see.
Nintendo announced online modes that never came out? What even is this logic lol.

Probably depends on what type of gamer you are. They did hype the multiplayer due to the inclusion of the cloud destruction, but Crackdown as a series was mostly known for single player and co-op. As such I can see how this is annoying to those excited about the versus mode, but those that are here for campaign only - like me - probably don't care.
Online modes? Let me clarify, did Nintendo ever tell you you can play something with friends and then never were able to?

Not being able to play with your friends makes this mode basically nonexistent for some people until they will be able to, stop being disingenuous. I'm still waiting on the reason why that other poster brought them up anyway in regards to the claim of features taking ages to come out that were promised earlier.Please tell us more aboute that announced "online mode" that is missing in CD3 MP

Lol k then.Disingenuous? You said hyperbolic statement, that's all. The mp side of the game lack a basic feature, and that's a real shame, but you can't say it lack "announced onlines modes", that's a lie.
If you look at how reviewers handled The Master Chief Collection (yeah we all know how broken that game was in both SP and MP), whatever Microsoft does when sending out review codes and tuning their online during this period I think they will get away with it. If they leave a note with a promise to add it in post-launch I think it will be largely overlooked by outlets with less integrity.I considered not posting to avoid dog piling. However I do have two thoughts on this:
- How will reviewers touch on this at release. My concern is that the issue will be overlooked because the MP is a bit tacked on (2 modes, 3 maps). There could also be some leniency based on CD3 being a game pass title.
- This feels like they're killing the MP before it even had a chance. Admittedly I don't expect it was ever going to be huge for MP. However dropping the mode with basic features missing is not helping.
I still dont get how this is okay, why are standards just slipping

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Were Halo: MCC problems not largely overlooked by critics given their scope and degree to which the problems persisted? I can't explain what setup those reviewers had which I why I said I think MS is able to control that to some degree, but it appears that most didn't experience the same issues that plagued users at launch. Either something weird happened when it rolled out to everyone, or they were just dead lenient.What is that?
This thread is a great way to anticipate the review OT, it's gonna be a fun Journey to launch
some people in the thread, not you specifically
