Not a complaint or anything, just wondering if it will be a season to season thing or if it will get sporadic drops. Personally, I think it should be released season to season or maybe longer if we don’t want to dry out the campaign too quickly. Destiny releases a new expansion every year so maybe we’ll get that? What do yall think?
well it would be a way for them to make money, so every other season probably
and hay! if they do add DLC, it’l make the whole ‘bp and shop is needed to make money’’ excuse horrible :3
Dlc are planned to be free. Thats the point of the 60$ campaign price tag.
says who?!
who said they’d be free? and even if 343 said they’d be free, how do we know they’re lying?
for all we know they could be saying it from a point of view. like ‘they’re free to play, after a payment’ i mean, 343 is already milking infinite, so why not?! more money! they gotta get food on the table somehow, am i right?! gotta paycheck the devs and especially higher ups for their 20th labo and 12 swimming pool. that’s how a big corporate business runs and opperates, right lads?! MONEY FIRST
Can I get a mod in here? Take this kid out of the bar. His wails are killing the vibe.
killing the vibe, because it’s true! truth hurts sometimes, even for a beloved series run by a corporate that really doesn’t care, and is using every tactic in the book to get MONEY
You state nothing besides a complaint that you have poor decision-making skills and MUST spend 1035$ on the item shop because you just NEED everything that flows in.
You HEAVILY overestimate how much Game Devs make. Nothing you are saying is related to the topic of the post, you’re just screaming like a toddler because the Grown-ups didn’t give you the present you wanted for Christmas. I asked a calm question, requesting feedback and genuine interest. However, you saw that, so you decided that nobody on this forum is allowed to be genuine and calm. You believe everyone must share your belief that 343i should be burned at the stake. This is not the forum for that. In fact, I believe the forum from whence you came has been shut down for such things.
One single spam-hater can infect a whole forum, were it not for the Moderators council I would have glassed your entire planet.
i must spend? no no, i ain’t spending a penny on this nonsense. i mean… it’s not like i wanted a custom space barbie, ya know, a thing that’s been in every halo game up to this point? IN LESS TIME. you do relize the standared that bungie set, yes? and 343 promptly did not meet and chose to waste time -v-
i’m sorry? i made a calm responce back. and yeah, the responce following, i’l admit was childish… is childish. but that’s honestly because i know 343 can do better than this… i’m just dissapointed is all
i’m sorry? i never said that -v-
343 needs to be bettered. i mean, they’ve with every game continued to not listen to feedback. again, we all know what 343 is capable of, we know they can make a good halo game. they just have in the gameplay depo… but in nothing else. not in the progression, and especially not in the monetization

I expect 1 a year.
I also expected a full game after 5 years. 6 with delay. Sooo you know #dripfeedlife Oh well. I’ll live.
The only thing that is free is access to multiplayer. Nothing else is been stated or hinted at to be free.

I’d say every other season, however, season 1 already majorly lacks content so I’m really not sure.

Respectable.
Yeah thats fair.
Very true, 343 needs to work on their delivery. Games that fail at launch have shorter lifetimes. And I believe they could still make this Halo one of the best. With time, of course. Those that argue “ThEy’Ve HaD sIx YeArS” are only partially right. 6 years is indeed a long time to work on a game that releases in the state as it has. Its quite ridiculous really, until you look at what the time was spent on.
I dont work at 343 so I dont have an exact timeline but what I believe it may be is, 3-4 years on the brand new Slipspace Engine, 1-2-3 ( Delay Included) on gameplay. The belief you would need to justify the hatred given back would be if the Engine was developed in 3 years and the game play was developed in 3. If that were true it would make total sense for the backlash and for that argument to be fair. However if it is 4 years of engine development, then that means that E3 2020’s campaign was 1 year in development, which (for what they presented) sounds about right. Add the delay and the game we are playing was Devved for two years, (sounds about right?) To contrast, Halo 4 was released 2012 I believe while Halo 5 was released in 2015 which means 3 years of development, they used the same engine as Halo 4 and only needed to make the game itself.
That being said, is it really much of a shock that Halo Infinite was released in the underwhelming state it was? It had (if I’m correct) the same baking time as H5 did and is releasing with (at the least) a better campaign and an underwhelming multiplayer. Thanks for listening to my ted talk.

I’d look at other 10 year games like Destiny for an idea on campaign dlc timeframe. I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere that the cpaign dlc will be free and I doubt it will since they’re making us pay full price for campaign, unless you get game pass or a sale etc. Personally I think 8-12 months but I can also just see them scrapping campaign dlc and just going all in on the multiplayer monetisation.

I dont think 343 has the boldness to do that, especially considering the backlash. The reason I think they may make DLC free is because of said backlash. Like a compensation check I guess. And also when I said free I wasnt thinking of the people without gamepass.
Ah, well that’s gamepass subscribers not free users, especially since you don’t need it for the multiplayer. I can see them doing maybe dlc 1 for free as compensation, but anything after that I can see having a price to it. But I still wouldn’t put it past them to charge us for anything added to the campaign.
Kinda like what they did with Forge in HW2? The DLC would have to be minimal for 343 to do that. So likely no Flood for a while.

it really depends on how long it took to devolop the game, as you said. if it took 3 years, leaving 3 years to make the game within the engine. then that’s inexcusable. but 4 years to make, and thus 2 years to devolop the game, then okay, fine…
it’s really another Halo Reach situation. like was the game made in 3 years along side ODST but having half the team working on it for 2 of said years because of ODST? or did it only take 1 year to make between the launch and ODST’s launch
also, im my oppinion, i don’t honestly see the reason for the new engine. i mean the end result just seems like an updated ‘halo 5’ engine. heck, to the point of, in the game files, some of the models and animations from 5 are fully functional, for the most part. like the SAW or Fulerod cannon. i dunno… i ain’t a game dev, but surely they could’ve just used halo 5’s engine and updated it? like 343 and bungie have been doing with every other past halo game? just seems like a waste of time, from an outsiders point of view
and whiles it is a shock… it goes to show the game has portential to be the best. but in its current state? it still needs work, imo

I think it was to throw away the ugly covenant design. I have no clue why in hell that would take 3 or even 4 years, but it seems like the only difference, besides in-game cutscenes. Maybe it was for the new physics of the grapple hook and stuff. But most likely for the change in Art Design and for the 10-year program. Its probably easier to update or somethin.
Yeah this game definitely needs work. We wont get any until next year tho. It will be released in a weird time period. Right in between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break. Any real change will probably come in February at the least.

okay, i guess i could see them making a completely new engine just for one, honestly fun, mechanic… but i doubt it’s for design and artstyle. i mean… the look of things are just in game ponygon models, at least that’s my basic understanding of it. like it’s just a change of models and most likely rigging for said models, the continuous update to the halo engine was able to support that. look no further than 3 and reach, or 3 and 5. same engine, just updated. maybe for the 10 year program? but it’s just down to updates adding additional things, pretty sure any engine could handle that… probably
and yeah, again, very convenient for 343 to launch the game in its current state at such a time. honestly bad timing… like just looking at the steam charts, the game is at a slow decline of players. yeah it ain’t including xbox players… but pc is like half the player base. but i digress… still bad timing. as there probably wont be a whole lot of players for the game by the time updates start rolling around for another redemption story…

IF it took them 6 years to make what we have now Id expect it to take them 12 years to make DLC at a minimium another 6

I believe they made the new engine for physics reasons if I remember correctly. The original BLAM engine is probably also bloated with stuff not needed anymore, and it’s a damn old engine now.
