It’s a precursor of what’s to come. The main reason for this is that, as a more open and nonlinear game, it became extremely difficult. It’s not that it doesn’t work; it just isn’t complete”, stated creative director of 343 Industries, Crocker. Finally, Jarrard stated that the developers are analyzing various connection issues that players have experienced in the Big Team Battle and Ranked playlists. According to the Halo Support Twitter account, 343 Industries will provide an update as they have additional information to share.
