HALO INFINITE : If you got $20 to spend, Then you must have $30+ to spend - 343 Industries

You did have a choice tho. In custom games. When forge grew a lot of people stayed in custom games and played without thruster all the wanted.

Should there have been more or even permanent classic playlist in halo 5? Sure. But it did give you the options to create the custom game yourself.

Your basically agreeing with me on everything I said. This all boils down to Halo 5s launch was bad and Halo infinites launch was worse and neither should be defended but we should also point out what was different without being bias.

Is Halo infinite a good game in general? Sure I guess.

But is it a good Halo game with a good base on it? No. It’s to far removed from any Halo. You can say it toned down on the abilites but if you add up everything together like no collision and outlines with barely any classic weapons it’s REALLY hard to see this as Halo. At least in halo 5 I could at least feel at home with classic weapons. Theres nothing to feel at home with in halo infinite. It all feels so alienated and far different to what Halo actually is

Yeah, and so has players buying from the shop. Just in 3 months Activision Blizzard made 1.2 billion just off of selling items.

I would love to see actual numbers of what 343 made off of Halo 5 just from their shop. Mind you, 343 has 2 shops going now.

The choice I was referring to was in online multiplayer.

Absolutely Halo 5’s forge and options were great, they added a lot of variety and absolutely there should have been more classic options for online multiplayer. I would even be okay if they added a playlist in Infinite that had Halo 5 abilities because of the variety. I just don’t feel these should be the main way the game is played.

These 2 another huge issue. Whoever decided no player collision was a good thing was out of their mind. Can this be something that can be added back? I think so, and it should.

Outlines, although it’s great for those with disabilities, should always be an option. Of course people would still turn these on to keep an advantage, but I would like the option to turn these off for my personal sake.

People tend to think I am a 343 defender but a lot of issues you guys have I feel the same. I just don’t feel it’s worth getting upset about. Rather if we talk about these things constructively without getting mad at 343, we can see positive change happen.

I think it was stated that they wanted them in the game, but timing/ data showed competitive MP turned them off basically all the time, so they got put on back burner.

That’s another con of how the competitive community has decided these weren’t a priority. I can live without it in multiplayer, but in campaign it feels like such a huge loss

The push by 343 for Halo to regain that “MLG” status from days past has been one of the worst things for the franchise.

Meh I think it’s okay to push for a competitive scene, it just shouldn’t be a priority over the casual fanbase

There were classic playlists in halo 5. There should have been a permanent one. Just like a permanent Halo 5 playlist should be in halo infinite

People hated that you were forced to stabilize so they gave you the option to turn it off. It should be the same with the outlines

I may come off as harsh but I do give feedback on what should be changed but one of the problems is that no one is willing to accept it. No one want to pay for skins. No one asked it for it to be free to play but yet we are all trying to come with with ways it’ll work. It will never work. The solution is to go back to the way it was. Paid multiplayer. It would fix so many issues. There wouldn’t need to be a store and they can work on more of the game instead of those stupid “events”

Your assessment of star citizen is moronic at best and a lie at worst. First off EVERY SINGLE THING CAN BE EARNED IN GAME WITHOUT SPENDING MORE THAN A $45 starter package. Second is that THE ENTIRE GAME IS CROWD FUNDED AND WE ARE SPENDING MONEY TO SUPPORT THE GAME BEING MADE. Your asinine comparison only shows that you know literally nothing about CIG & star citizen. I have invested over $4,500 to cig for the development and am personally heavily involved in the games development and seeing people like you lie is just plain wrong. Either get your facts straight or don’t speak about what you don’t know.

I get mad about this because people like the OP spread lies. If someone doesn’t like the model that’s fine, but outright lying infuriates me. The OP either out right lied to suit his narrative or didn’t bother to research what he said and parroted talking points he read on Reddit. Again if he was honest about his comparison I could accept that, but lies are not it pimpin.

So correct it and that’s it. You think he intentionally lied for the sake of lying.

I made a point near the beginning of the thread and he acknowledged my point

I did correct it. But yes I think op is simply lying. I would have the same reaction if someone outright lied about infinite. Does the stores prices suck? Yes! But 343 acknowledged it and said they are making changes. I can accept that and am willing to see what happens and would have the same reaction if someone ignored 343’s acknowledgment of the issue and just lambasted the prices .

Halo infinite was horrible to me the multiplayer is unplayable for me after 5 years and a 1 year delay on the release Halo infinite to me personally doesn’t seem to be the highest cost videogame ever develop I did enjoy the campaign I’ve played thousands of hours of every Halo until now I had to uninstall infinite I feel let down after playing Halo 5 for 6 years waiting for patches and things to be fixed only to hear we have everyone working on infinite and fixing MMC let me know the game was going to be the best Halo ever then I played it what a disappointment

No they don’t because 343 has not marketed that information to everyone correctly. They are relying on us the fans to get that information out. Which is part of the reason there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding the game. It’s like playing telephone.

What an absolute joke of a post. Halo Infinite is free whether or not someone pays for Gamepass.

The constant complaints about “stuff costs money!” is over the top. Face reality: the gaming industry is different than what it was 5, 10, 20 years ago. Comparing old Halo titles (and how monetization works) is an exercise in idiocy, and is proof positive that you are nothing but a complainer. No one likes complainers.

“But Bungie charged $20 for a map pack and we got 9 maps!” True. Now compare what Bungie is doing today with Destiny. See how silly you look now?

“But 343 gave us free updates with Halo: MCC and Halo 5!” And? What’s your point? Do we really need to explain (for the hundredth time) that Infinite is a different game than MCC and Halo 5? Remember how the gaming industry is different now? Suck it up, buttercup.

Or is your major gripe that you don’t think $20 for armor is worth the price? News flash: no one cares if you think items in the Item Shop are too expensive. Don’t want to spend the money? Then don’t! These are 100% cosmetic items. You can play Infinite multiplayer - and experience everything Infinite has to offer - by spending exactly $0 (even without Gamepass).

Actually, this all boils down to whiny gamers (i.e., YOU) wanting to make their Spartan look pretty and not wanting to spend money doing it. Fact is, there are free cosmetics in the Season Pass. Yes, that’s right… 100% FREE cosmetics can be earned just by playing the game. The modern gamer (YOU) expects instant gratification, they expect a game to cater to their specific wants, and they expect game studios to do what they say, when they say it. Yikes!

Let me guess… “free to play multiplayer isn’t good enough!” Right… there’s the whiny gamer again - you want your cheap/free armor, and you want it now! Yes, we get it - you are Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In fact, these forums are a perfect representation of what Willy Wonka experienced first hand from his “customers” - children who complain, constantly, until they get what they want, even if it means turning into a large purple balloon.

Get real.
