Personally I just don’t see the long term appeal. Maybe the req system will keep some players around but this game has too little content that is all spread too thinly with no real incentive to keep playing.
The lack of map variety is already noticeable after just 1 week. The overall number across all modes ain’t bad but for players who mostly stick to 1 mode (Slayer, Warzone, Breakout, Swat) it gets old really fast playing the same 3 or 4 maps over and over.
The rank system is flat out broken. Bad players getting put into high tiers, good players getting put into low tiers. You get penalized and drop tiers for being put into 4v3 or 4v2 matches because other players decide to quit all because you can’t win at those odds. Individual performance means nothing. You can go 2-15 every match and get lucky enough to be paired with 3 great players every match to carry you and move up ranks.
The ban system is broken and does not stop players from quitting or betraying. And you risk getting banned yourself if you quit a 4v2 match just because you don’t want to stick around and get destroyed by a full team.
Warzone is boring, repetitive, pay to win trash. Which ever team has the best reqs is going to win 9 out of 10 times. Boss kills are based on the final hit and not the damage you deal so you can do 99% of the damage only for a camping enemy hiding behind a rock nobody sees waits to land the last hit and scores 150 points for their team for doing no work.
The lack of playlists has already made the game boring. No CTF, no KotH, no Infected, no BTB, no Grifball, no multi team. I’m sure some will be coming eventually but by the time they do most people will move on to other games like Black Ops 3, Battlefront, Fallout 4, or Destiny and won’t look back.
There are also gameplay flaws like the radar, aim system, the spartan charge being OP, etc that make the game no fun to play.
I think the game will see a huge drop off in population over the next couple weeks with other huge games releasing and by January nobody will be left but the most hardcore fans.
