Its nearly been three weeks and all we have heard from 343i is that they hear our feedback. This is good, but the feedback they got form halo 5 clearly was not heard.
We do not like the way store, battlepass and customization are as a system. But we have heard nothing from 343i so far on this issue.
Its been three weeks. Nothing about this has been said. I am demotivated and demoralized to keep playing. I have stopped playing for about three days now. Something tells me its going to be a Halo 5 over again.
They haven’t given us details yet, because details have to be created. Game Dev needs to create a new system, design it, prototype it, implement it, test it, verify its good, and then they can put it in the Retail game. The team still needs time to get the ideas in place so they can start coding them. Not to mention last week the team was out of the office. Please stop acting like these changes are going to happen over night. We get it, youre unhappy, We are ALL unhappy, the devs are unhappy. MTX were a Mircosoft thing, thats been all but confirmed. Change is coming, but for the love of the Great Journey, please express some sort of patience.
But i have never spoken about immediate change in this post. I am talking about transparency.
We have absolutely no clue about what they are even PLANING to change.
Why can’t they just specify the exact points that they are at least considering to change?
I totally see where you are coming from and mostly share your opinion.
You are probably completely right but i still have a fear that these issues are going to be swept under the rug.
But i believe i have the right to express my disappointment especially after the lies that happened in halo 5 and now have happened in the marketing for infinite.
These MTX are not going to be swept under the rug. The game will die. The feedback they are getting is going to get compiled and collected and 343i will mostly use it to tell Microsoft that their idea of MTX are causing player backlash, and Mircrosoft will Green light the push to develop as quickly as possible(even hire new people if need be) to redo the MTX and Progression system. We will probably see the results of this as early as Q1 2022 or Season 2ish. The marketing didn’t lie for Halo Infinite, the Developers were very open about their thoughts. The running idea of what happened/changed was after the first flight Microsoft saw how big that the game was going to be as the gameplay was very well received, and said alright heres how youre going to apply MTX to make us a s**t ton of money, and its not like 343i can tell their publisher/parent company “no thats stupid and will be poorly received” when the data that they had said otherwise. Halo 5 is giant mess of development that we still dont know everything about, but Halo Infinite was much more honest, it just happens that Microsoft kinda shoved their hand down and did what they wanted. The Campaign has not yet released publicly and from all the things I have seen, the advertising has not lied at all. This isn’t Halo 5 all over again, 343i has learned to be much more open and willing to change things. The entire company’s attitude has changed in the past 6 years and feels much more like Bungie than current Bungie does. I know they’ll make the game we want, unfortunately though, those addition take time.
What is unacceptable is the lack of Assault and Infection.
I completely agree about being salty. There are so many things that I had wished for this game that just aren’t there right now. However I think we will see many changes between now and Season 2 that it’ll be a whole new experience again in May.
