Allright, I’ll come clean.
I pre-ordered the steelbook edition from a Swedish shop because I couldn’t find it anywhere in Finland at the time.
Being a collector of the physical product I have all the biggest limiteds since Halo 2.
I did not purchase the Battlepass premium because as a general rule I level them up first before commiting to purchase them.
Really tempted on one of those black 'n blue armors but the price is waaay off for me to justify purchasing it, even when it’s not a financial problem for me to do so.
Progression is slow but it doesn’t bother me so I have bot purchased boosts or swaps. Since there’s no knowing at the moment if we get to progress future battlepasses or need to purchase them to have access to them, so not completing the current one isn’t an issue.
I said back on the old forums that i343 has all the opportunity in the world to fumble the system up, and no amount of “but it won’t expire” isn’t going to help that.
Even made a half “satire” thread about delaying the store ( not sell anything for real money ) untill we’ve got Co-op and Forge.
Even seen similar statements now but in regards to other points rather than Co-op and Forge
Armor Coats? Yup, talked about it on the old forum, pretty much what I thought it would be despite “the game isn’t even out yet”, and “we’ll have hundreds of coats to chose from at start”.
Better yet, joked about removing Player Collision to combat trolling in an FF off thread. ( No they didn’t remove it because I suggested it ). I want FF on.
I partake in the blame for how things turned out, ok.
