I am not trying to be negative. I absolutley adore the gameplay in this game. Game runs smooth as hell. Halo 5 is still my go to game.
But I cant help but be disappointed with the “free dlc”’ Now had 343 stated in the beginning that free dlc meant remix maps, all forge btb, meh reqs, and that they would trickle in gamemodes that are pretty much standard. I would have been upset, but I would feel 343 was confident in their choices and I would deal with it.
When I heard free dlc I thought, like many, that the dlc would be on equal par to past halos dlc. Instead I feel like 343 never really dicusses their updates and choices because they were always hiding how weak the dlc is. I think they wanted to have us think dlc was going to be high quality, and anticipate that we would just deal with it.
In short, I think 343 held back disclosing dlc info because they knew it might hurt game sales.
I feel they know we are getting frustrated and that they will have some real maps, game types, etc to come. They promised like 15 or 18 maps, so far we have like 1, a warzone map. I don’t consider remixes or forge maps we have currently towards those maps we were promised.
I love the game, but so far we should have at least 6 maps for Warzone Minimum. Arena/slayer has a fair amount, but could use more. I also don’t understand why they don’t use the breakout maps in Slayer. thats a simple no brainer to do. that alone would allow for more variety.

I love the look of the breakout maps and wish they would let us play more than just breakout on them. I have actually be thinking of designing a BTB Heavies map on a breakout map because I think it would look awesome.

Big balls of Death in forge that are an insta kill if touched. Check them out, go to Props and they’re under toys.
Is the DLC completely pathetic and underwhelming. Absolutely.
Did we pay for it? No.
YOU CAN BET YOUR DOLLAR that if people paid money for maps like Overgrowth, Riptide and BTB crap maps that this game would be getting a lot more deserved criticism.
This is what you get when microtransactions get added. You get lackluster cosmetics that “you dont have to pay for, but kinda do” and “FREE” maps that are essentially made the day before release or have been sitting in a release window for a year.

I feel I was lead to believe that microtransactions were paying for the quality dlc we got in the past.

> I see your point on if it is free what does it matter. My question is, did you expect this at launch?
Not at all. I was expecting a finished product at launch. With the same amount of features, if not more, that Halo 4 had.

> Trying to stay on track. Did you expect this kind of dlc pre launch when 343 discussed free dlc?
Bloating the req system without adding in any way to organize or hide unused load outs? No.
“Remixing” maps we already have and counting them as new maps? No
Adding 6 new maps to BTB which are all just forge maps? No
Complete lack of love for classic game modes like infection for so many months? No
Pizza weapon skin?!? HECKS YESSSSS!!! (Probably the one good thing from all these updates)
I feel like 343 often keeps information from us in an attempt to trick us. They did it with MCC, too.
They say nothing about the problems, hype up their stuff, take peoples’ money under false pretenses, and pay no consequences.
It’s honestly disgusting.
I’m just bummed out I bought that Warzone REQ bundle and assumed the money would go towards adding great content and fresh maps. I shouldn’t have given 343 more money than what was required for the base game.

Obviously.
If there’s one dev you shouldn’t trust, it’s 343.
The free dlc would most likely have been planned out, I should hope they have “bigger” dlc drops at set time frames like ok DLC drop 5 is gonna be big, 6 and 7 will be a remix map and some weapon skins then another big drop. I’m just hypothesizing obviously, but I know this stuff takes time and with some of the stuff that went on with MCC I’m sure there is extra time allotted for testing so they don’t release a turd. That is if they are smart…
