I understand that more content will eventually come to Infinite, but we will also be asked to pay for each new battle pass, more store content, and more campaign expansions. I would love for this game to succeed and I think 343 has done amazing work on the graphics and gameplay, but at this point I personally can’t even justify buying the campaign unless there are major changes to this system (and more than one biome in the campaign.)
Here is a breakdown of the value of Infinite vs Reach:
Halo Reach ($60 for campaign + MP/forge, co-op etc.):
21 helmets (now 26 in MCC)
18 Chests
18 shoulders
6 wrists
Infinite ($60 for campaign + $10 battlepass +>$1000 of store purchases):
18 helmets
16 chests
11 shoulders
5 wrists
To have a content complete Halo Infinite costs 17 times as much as Reach despite containing… less content. I’m hopeful that 343 will recognize this and change this system, I’m sure it is currently helping Microsoft pay off their debts, but I have a hard time seeing this game lasting 10 years as is.
