With all this complaining and I’ve been complaining a lot I feel bad for the devs at the bottom who had no say in all the crap with this game. If we should be mad at anyone it should be Microsoft and the heads of 343 for deciding this was what’s best for halo and for doing all this double speak.

I don’t think any reasonable person is criticising the individual devs. Developers have team leaders, team leaders have department heads, department heads have leadership meetings and it’s each persons responsibility above the dev to plan how a product progresses, with feedback from the devs if its a stupid idea. It’s managers jobs to protect the invidivual developers from the firing line.
Developers are usually given a pool of tasks that need completing, and will complete those tasks.

You really shouldn’t be mad at anyone. It’s a free game.

That’s not an excuse to have crappy mechanics and a system they knew people would hate.
We’ve come full circle in one post lol

When you say ‘we’, you mean axe
Except the mechanics aren’t crappy. Progression/ranking? Yes, crappy but being worked on.
I don’t blame the devs who’re just doing their job, I blame those who propose these silly decisions that only exist to monetize & disrupt player retention.
Apologist behavior because “free” isn’t constructive. It’s only free because they are luring in new players to psychologically manipulate them into spending money. Nothing altruistic about it.

Manipulate how?
Are you mad because you have zero willpower or self control? Is everything currently in the game supposed to be given away? None of us are owed anything from 343/Microsoft. If MTX have you all in a twist I suggest you go fire up a 360 and play games from before the time of MTX.
Noone asked for it to be a free game. Plenty of us are perfectly fine with it still being in the $60 package we have to buy to play campaign anyways… it is free to milk us now.

Did anyone ask for F2P Call of Duty? No. It’s not up to us.
And that’s BS that “plenty of us are perfectly fine with $60”. You all think you’re entitled to all kinds of free stuff as it stands now. If some you paid $60 for this, you’d be looking to spend time in the house of a 343 employee while they WFH. No one cares what you want/don’t want.
It’s not about willpower, it’s about creating a negative feedback loop unless you spend some money to reroll a challenge or upgrade your battle pass to get those extra unlocks that used to be part of the whole game. Not to mention that the only bug free part of this game is the cash shop is just a further insult.
What the hell are you on about with this “you’re all entitled to free stuff” nonsense. None of us just want all the armor “free” on day one. What we want is a progression system similar to MCC, 4, Reach, and 3 where by doing challenges/achievements/progressing you unlocked armor.
This system of making the battle pass intentionally grindy, and don’t say “that’s the point of a BP” because CoD has the same system and it works, by encouraging you to spend money on challenge swaps.
And I don’t give a toss about the store, if they want to have cosmetics for sale that’s fine. But you’re higher than Bob Marley if you think spending $10 on a visor and color is fair. This system is blatantly predatory and is being pushed by Microsoft because they spent 6 years and millions on this game and want to make it back quick before all hype dies and people ditch it like 5.
