When I saw those I thought to myself how I love to spend money on those coatings cause why should I want to create my spartan the way I like? Like Choosing freely your first and second color?

Really who need that if we can spend our money on 343 and MS who came up with those many content like Forge… I mean Team Objective… Sorry, BTB cause it’s awesome - if it actually starts. Or having the season pass cutted down from 120 Levels down to 100 so that we all can have those Ultimate Challenge rewards which were originally part of that pass, like who needs that?
I love Invasion, sorry, that really good ranking system, how I also can rank up besides the ranked playlist to see how much I played and have those matches with clear informations here on that new HaloWaypoint forum to see how I performed!
*Irony/Sarcasm out
Now to be honest. The actuall state of this game is just far worse than Halo 5’s. You can’t choose your color, your emblem, unless you pay a lot of money. BTB is barely playable, there is no sight of infection, a battle pass with way too much EXP boosts and challenge swaps, no rank that shows your “spended time” like accumulated points you made per match, content that was ripped apart from the original BP which has 120 levels [you can see that also on the achievement picture], there is no server selection, which means that me as an european can not enjoy this game in my freetime in the evening, means I’m forced to play the game between 11a.m to 6p.m GMT.
The gameplay is great and it really makes fun but all that stuff around it from costumization to playlists is really bad.
Of course when infection is finally here they will say “look “free” content for you”. Of course from one point it is actually free content cause the MP is free, but looking at it from the other side it looks more like that only the store was completely ready when this game launched. No Team Doubles or ranked SWAT, no actuall diversity. No Invasion, no infection, no VIP or bomb - like Grifball is also not ready at all.
Currently I’m Battle Pass level 100. I would love to play BTB, not just on those large maps where vehicles are coming in total unfair conditions [like give one team an Banshee [which is actually not that good] and the other a Wasp, the one a Gungoose and the other a Scorpion], but also close combat. Would love to see 12v12 on Launch Site or even Basar, cause when we have the ability to have 24 Spartans to massacre each other, why can’t we have it?
There is so much potential in this game but it seems that it is not at all really used. Give me Team Snipers, give me Multi Team, let me and a friend join in Team Swords against 3 or even 5 other teams to butcher each other without mercy, give us the hammer to smash the skulls in absolute madness, give us finally SWAT with Commandos, Manglers and Pistols. Give us besides FFA Lone Wolf ranked back, let even those who want to run a pink spartan around with cat ears run around but also do at least some more work for those who want tactical camouflage skins.
Don’t just run those challenges with EXP for the Battle Pass. Introduce challenges where I have to slaughter 1.000 of enemys with a Sword to unlock a piece shoulder, make it 5.000 for an visor and 10.000 for an helmet. Give me a reason to play this game es hard as back in the old days.
Give me challenges where I need to kill 1.000 and more and waaay more enemies to unlock armor, skins or something. Give me a vidmaster challenge where I need to get one perfect medal in slayer, than 3 new ones and than finally 5.
Just give a reason to grind and spend time in this game. It’s good to hear and see that people just want to play with fun but at some part everyone want at least to have something sometimes.
