or some troll posing off as an 343 member its tough to see the trickery sometimes if you dont look for it
All you get for working for 343 is an emblem and the blue flaming helmet. No free stuff or employee discounts. Probably. I donāt think even the forum moderators get anything special in game. Probably.
If that was true, there wouldnāt be many games developed 
The truth is, the devs are well taken care of in spirit if whatever happens to the game.
Well Halo is owned by Microsoft, so even if 343 somehow tanks that $500,000,000 budget debt, Microsoft will still be fine. 343 will likely just have to fire a chunk of their 700 employees. The employees still got paid to do their job.

In a store conversation not that long ago I said that forcing players to buy bundles instead of individual items is a scumbag move. Iāve openly said that some of the monetization practices are scummy/scumbag, I said that not allowing cross-core cosmetic swaps is crappy since the bots can do it without issue, and when the Tenrai event launched I criticized 343 for misleading people into thinking there was more free content than there actually was.
So let me repeat myself: Slow your roll, kid

my guy iām sorry if I offended you but Iāve defiantly seen you post far more ā343 goodā, or rather 343 will be better than ā343 badā
then you went ahead and bought a $20 bundle, you just contradicted yourself, making all of this:
NULL and VOID
also umm calling me a kid is rather childish

You didnāt
I donāt give a flying crap what youāve seen, because you obviously arenāt familiar with the hundreds of posts and dozens of threads Iāve interacted with.
lol. So not only are you wrong, but youāre actually stupid. Letās break this down:
My stance is that forcing everything into bundles is bad because if someone only wants one item, theyāre forced to purchase the bundle instead of having individual purchases. The cherry blossom bundle is literally one cosmetic item with extra icons (which Iām using, by the way). This is literally the worst bundle you couldāve tried to make your point with.
Secondly. I donāt know if you knew this or not, but I can maintain that the bundle system is scummy because of its limitations, and still buy bundles without it being a contradiction or hypocrisy. The same way that I can be critical of the American political system, and still vote.
Even if it made me a hypocrite for buying a bundle (it doesnāt) the only thing it would make ānull and voidā is one of the points I brought up.
Eh I wasnāt really calling you kid as an insult. However calling you stupid is childish for sure.

Bro you need to relax, these salaried devs need their vacation to their vacation. Just wait for them to come back to work mid feb so by March after the post holiday slump is over, maybe they can fix half a thing for every 20 cash grab kitten armor for the store

Your perception of how the average person in the game industry lives is pretty laughable.
True, I am laughing pretty heartily. Must be hard working for a 2 trillion dollar company at a desk.

The average game industry employee is overworked, underpaid, and has a fairly miserable work/life balance. But hey, youāre a random dude on the internet with strong opinions on topics he knows nothing about.
What kind of sentence is that? Thatās all part of the game. And really if weāre being frank, the base mechanics of this mess arenāt anything to hit home about. Iād much rather just play an older Halo title as thereās really nothing interesting or groundbreaking here.

Entire game is a joke. Even if the content theyāre selling was worth anything, the cheating and bugs are enough to make me keep all my money tucked nicely in my wallet.

Another worthless thread. I swear man itās been over a month since this game released. Have these people not just moved on? Stop clogging the forums and go play something else, trust me, the game will do FAR BETTER without you type of people.
Dude the weekly basis ndle is such a rip off. You are only getting 2 items.
343 is literally going to sit there with a straight face an still us that one Armor Affect and 1 emblem repeated 4 times is worth 20 bucks.

Are you one of the guys who bought basic red Three times cus you wanted it on all your armor cores.
Scarlet Wake
Scarlet skies
Scarlet empress
All the same Red, sold seperattey.
The current weekly bundle is just 2 items, but they repeat the emblem 4 times and say oh thatās worth 20bucksā¦
Itās dumb content like this that keeps these types of topics alive.
Idk maybe if 343 actually had a creative team the content would be worth the 20 bucksā¦
It donāt worry Iām sure the next weekly bundle will be dark blue coating locked to one Armor Core and a default Emblem from Halo 5.
Itās kinda sad and funny that people are really put there paying for default colors from Halo 5 and think thatās great content
