Imagine this game

Ah yes at a premium charge, but let’s be real they are holding back plenty of features cus they need to stretch content out for 10 yrs so it’s most likely gonna be a summer thing of we get them any time soon.

Like yes they will be ready before that… But they won’t release it when it’s ready rather hold on to it for a premium summer content.

Assassinations will not be a paid item, mostly because they are a mechanic. Charging for it would be like charging to melee. I’d imagine they’ll come with forge, mostly to bring retention back up from where it was before.

How so? Destiny sells finishers that are basically the same thing. I wouldn’t put it past 343 knowing this is their new model.

I have no desire to use the shop right now, but if they fix everything with the content and prices, I’d probably buy things.

They already sold the animations in Halo 5, but yeah, they won’t sell the mechanic.

In Halo 5: Guardians, assassinations are introduced into Spartan customization, allowing players to choose from a number of different animations. The various new animations are unlocked via the [Requisition system].

THANK YOU. I agree with all of these and this is only scratching the surface. ALSO:

  • One Biome in Campaign ??? Seriously ? Not even the “mountains” were actually mountains with snowcaps, just giant rocks. The leaat we could have gotten were Islands like from the Silent cartograoher, Some Massice Forerunner Tunnels like from "Assault on the control Room that explores massive underground structures inside the ring and not just a few tunnels and towers here and there.

  • Only One New enemy which ia just a reworking of Drones ?

  • Bad/Cringy Eacharum Dialogue and too much Exposition from Cortana. SHOW not TELL.

  • Final game looks nothing like the amazing concept art from Art of Halo Infinite and 2018 trailer which actually has ****** VARIETY*******

  • Come up with something new other than the overused Double XP product placement. It’s been done to death by every game and I’m tired of it.

To Reach for the stars and achieve that game - I think you need a new Developer!

I never saw that trailer, but wow, they really cut a lot from the game if that’s how it was supposed to look.
A desert, more animals, an underwater mech, a beach and snow on mountains.
The world looks like it should’ve been lively and more immersive than what we got.

Escharum’s wrestling speeches were cheesy, but eh, he was fun to listen to.
I liked Cortana’s frequent dialogue, but I wish that there had been more action scenes and events in addition, as well as flashbacks during her dialogue.

Oh I fundementally believe we will get maybe 1-3 stock default assassinations, from there 343 will charge us for other animations of assassinations.

But yes they are going to monetize this as well. Remember they did say these servers are not free they cost money. So any chance they get to square another penny from us they will.

Granted so far I don’t think they have made as much money as they expected.

But once they add cross core, make Coatings universal, allow us to buy things individually from the bundles, and stop selling us filler content like the same emblem 4 times. Their store will probably make more money

The entire gaming industry suffers from this. WoW is absolute trash right now, not only are developers incompetent, they are at odds with the players.

Other than very poor leadership, I just don’t know how this game ended up with so many issues.

I just want to see a features road map for the future. I want to know when we can expect the next part of the campaign to release as well as new maps and multiplayer game modes.

Even with the flaws I really do like the game and the general feel of it. It does feel a bit skinny for the additional year they put into it.

Just the desync and a working btb will do for me now , everything else can wait

Yeah campaign is another beast. I was mainly focusing on multiplayer.

As for the campaign it’s pretty barebones and quite obviously cut loads of content. They better release vanilla add ons for free, and have high quality free DLC since this is a LIVE GAME. Plus the events from 5 to infinite are locked behind audio logs, and it only explains a little.

I understand and agree, but I like to look at reality. Adding more content is just a Band-Aid for the glaring issues that are not going away unless 343 takes action.

Sugar ARMOR coating :smiley:
But yeah 100% with you on all this dude. Kind of found myself on halo 5 going on customs and exploring maps, which I never do, and finding more fun

Basically imagine if they released a complete Halo game.

It will be a trip to watch in a few years time if much of this gets added and people start pretending that 343’s done us some huge favor by delivering us something we used to get day 1 after years of monetizing an undercooked game.

“See we aren’t the bad guys”. -343

“omg thanks 343, you so fine and good to me <3” - fanboys

So disappointed. I waited forever for this game, assuming this Halo would be a resurgence of video game excellence…
…Infinite gives me a sad paywall mobile game vibe

Straight facts. Why can’t people earn currency through gameplay?

They can do it like Rainbow six Siege does theirs, or Gears of War. (I dislike monetization) but at least those systems are far superior to a lot of there.
