The free battle pass gives a total of TWO helmets, and those too will need months of grinding at current pacing. Normally, I’d buy the full game, and unlock any helmet I want by playing the game. Now that 343i has made Infinite free to play (no one asked for this either btw), I gotta grind tf outta the game for months with atleast an hour or two of play everyday, for TWO helmets. And if i need more customization, spend more money on the game on top of buying the campaign. They probably will give extra armor to people who buy the campaign, but will this also be true for people who use gamepass for the campaign? Will the campaign armor unlocks stop when my free 1 month gamepass ends? I can’t even just ignore this shit and have super fun playing the game man I haven’t gotten slayer in the past 9 matches because the game won’t let me choose my gamemodes. MCC has done this properly, what is stopping 343 from just copying that system in here. Who knows lol
Yeah, I haven’t even been able to complete certain challenges WITH a battle pass because they want me to complete oddball and slayer matches but I haven’t been able to play them. They need more ways of rewarding free to play players and fairly dishing out challenges for those who paid for them. Because that’s all the battle pass is. Paying to earn rewards by one method, challenges.
Gah I agree with this so much!
The game isn’t really “free-to-play,” it’s a free demo. I’m still gonna have to pay $60 to get the majority of the game, and now since they are calling the MP “Free to play” I would also have to pay $10 just to get half as many armor options as Reach had at launch.
I honestly would have rather not have multiplayer be free and not have to grind out the game for months and months to get only a handful of items, like in halo mcc there were the exchange points that you could use in the shop, id rather pay for the game itself and not be based on in game transactions. Fortnite started this trend and im sad to see that 343 took the same free to play route with all these money grabbing transactions just to make your character look different from everyone elses. I love the game dont get me wrong but it really pains me.
