Is it just me or does it feel halo is becoming a call of duty, money grabbing game. Halo used to be so… Diverse and about the people not 343s wallet… Bungie why did you sell your soul?! Your start? Your passion.
I wish there was a way to post without bumping threads.
Bungie started selling Multiplayer Map packs back in Halo 2. They literally Popularized DLC on Consoles. in the same way Horse Armor showed that people will buy cosmetic items. However when you release Paid Content that is only playable online through very specific playlists, the population is tiny and connection quality usually poor.
So instead, you now get Free Maps without separating the community, paid for by REQ packs which are completely optional.
I really dont like the whole “money grabbing” nonsense
These are companies owned by Multi Billion Dollar Corporations. Their Primary Objective is to make money.
They want your money, you bought their game and the console it plays on.
And with your game comparison. Halo didnt become CoD. CoD became Halo when it started caring about Multiplayer and Dropping DLC maps like Halo. Dat attachment rate.
“about the people not 343s wallet”
Making games is expensive, its always been about money. Microsoft wants money, Sony Wants money, Corporations want money, small businesses want money.
Maybe point to some specific Business practice that you disagree with. But completely optional purchases for Cosmetic items and warzone (weapons that will likely be lost in 15 seconds or youll get run over by a teammate.)… thats a weak place to start from.
also you have barely even started the campaign and only played 1 multiplayer match…
