I was expecting the halo 4 way of getting armor. Meeting requirements, actually earning your new boots and ties. Completing challenges for that wetwork or fotus, yknow? Instead you either get the battle pass or buy it from the store? If this is the F2P model of doing things then I’ll gladly just pay for a full price game. Customization is a huge part of halo, and multi-player in general. You’ve made great strides with gameplay, but you’ve taken 4 steps back compared to halo 5. Hopefully on release everything will be sorted. I have hopes for you, 343. Edit: I’ll even extend a olive branch: rework the pallete system to where they have different materials or camos or fabrics central to said pallete so they hold some value, that way they stay buyable and we still get our color customization! i can be satisfied with that small change.
Seriously. Having a todo list be the only way to progress the pass is terrible.
Also, why does an armor set and an armor coating cost $20?! Thats insane. Customizing your Spartan is a staple of the franchise. Having to pay real money to do so is very upsetting.
Indeed, the way of customization is also too limited. I bought the Cloud 9 packs only because I like the color of that armor. But it would be disappointed if I have to equip the whole set to use that design.
Yeah, they definitely need to tone back some of the monetization, and I think more people would be happy to spend money that way. Just my two cents.
It’s a free to play game, the multiplayer is going to be monetised. It’s not exactly surprising.
Season 1’s BattlePass isn’t the best but they’ve openly said the Season 2 onwards will offer a free item for each tier.
i understand, at LEAST rework the color system then. thats all i want and ill be satisfied. monetize palletes like anthem, where they are made with different materials, metals or fabrics or something, that way you can still market them with some value, but we get our coloring system. ESPECIALLY now that we can show our spartans off without team colors! If any 343i dev sees this i just hope they talk about it with the others. just to sleep on it
Totally agree OP!!
Not only does customization feel overly monetized, but everybody will look the same as they progress up the battlepass and equip the new reward. I really hate this system and that is a bad feeling because Halo has been part of my life since the beginning. However, what 343 is doing is not what I expected with Infinite. After playing the Flight I thought maybe some things are turned off, but now I see that what we have is a bare bones customization system based on a single Battlepass.
No Commendations with unique rewards for completion!!
No unique items to earn except grinding weekly challenge that are based on certain games that cannot be queued up!
No overall base game XP system that has rewards for reaching milestones!
Sorry but the current system is very disappointing and concerning for the future of Halo.
It’s 100% too monetized. I’m praying that the armors you can supposedly unlock through the campaign are manifold and of high quality.
I would say the costs are a bit to high, but other then that it makes sense for the F2P side.
that said they had better give us more customization options that are free or earned in the future.
