keep Campaign free of challenges and live service!

343 i hope you keep Campaign free of challenges and live service things.
I’ts irritating what MCC has become over time,where when you play Campaigns your screen is filled with Challenge progressions and Audio cues for them.Even Marty commented on the distracting noises that pop up randomly while he played Co-op on stream.
Also please don’t make us download updates every time you are making changes for Muliplayer.Keep Campaign and Multiplayer apart,especially now that Multiplayer is free to play.
I wanna enjoy the Campaign in purest form possible without the Live service things for other modes.

Keep campaign offline too!

no way if anything keep campaign challenges that are worth while i remember doing the ones in Reach over and over until i knew the campaign like the back of my hand.
also the case I stopped doing them when the reward was hardly worth the credits.

Yes that is the first most important thing,i think that shouldn’t be under question at all.

I for one would love yearly story expansions for Infinite continuing the main story and bring missing weapons back… I just want the M6 Magnum back.

I think for first playthroughs challenge menu’s should be hidden by default or toggleable to turn on/off in the menu so players can play their game in a sort of cinematic approach or not.

Yeah Story dlc is expected for a 10 year hub,like MCC.They don’t have to change anything from the Campaign that we get at launch for that.
Most games have dlc/expansions for Campaign nowadays.

But Infinite will have free to play Multiplayer,surely some PvE with it.So why mix Challenges in Campaign in the first place.If someone wants new skins,armor they will play Multiplayer either way.

That’s why thinking making it toggleable might be best so players can choose to ignore specific challenges in campaign or multiplayer if they want. If there going with ‘tokens’ like how MCC works then in theory most unlocks should be unlockable by playing any of the modes…which means giving players choice to choose.

I don’t like playing online games that much anymore do to more personal issues I’d rather not get into here on this site, so basically you’re saying I should be out of luck to try and get content unlocked too? I really have to disagree.

What content?You are playing as Master Chief with normal looking weapons and vehicles in Campaign!

Well yes but I think custom characters would more sense on 2nd playthrough’s and custom characters would make sense for things like 4 player coop with 1 player being the Chief and the other’s being new random Spartans from Infinity.

No Live Services for CP? Where do I sign up?

It was said that other coop players will be also Chief.

I think one of the popular Halo YouTuber said it while being invited to ask questions after July reveal.Can’t remember exactly,im watching and reading about Infinite information daily for months now.Also 2 player Splt-Screen,4 players online.

I have to disagree with keeping the campaign free of challenges. While the alert noise is very loud and should be toned down, challenges offer the incentive to go and replay the campaign after everything has been done and found.

What challenges do you speak of from any other Halo game?MCC started this challenges that can be done in Campaign and there is nothing interesting about them,you have weekly challenge:“Complete 3 missions on normal"or"Complete 2 missions on legendary”.All else PvE can be done in Firefight.
What other game even has challenges in Campaign?There are Achievements for those that like Campaign challenges.

Halo 3 and ODST’s VidMaster challenges come to mind. Informally, there’s LASO/Mythic. Easter Egg challenges, so on. And the MCC did not start the challenges thing either, Reach did.

Seems to me your real problem (other than the Service thing, which trying to combat at this point is unrealistic) is the alerts and popups interrupting the gameplay (Like Achivements in Xbox and Steam games, so even that’s not exactly new). So instead of “Please remove Campaign Challenges!” let’s look at “Let us disable notifications!”.

I disagree with that a lot. I think that challenges add a lot of replay value to the single player. Sure there definitely should be an option to make the challenge notifications quieter because I definitely agree with you there that the notifications are pretty earpeircing. I have a sound bar for my TV and whenever I complete a challenge it sounds like there’s an earthquake happening. However, this can easily be fixed with an option to turn off notifications or, at the least, be able to turn down notification sounds. I think challenges are good for halo because me personally, im more of a PVE guy but I still want to earn xp for playing the game. Maybe if 343 were to add some sort of commendation system that would make the campaign even better. But make it like Reach’s where it’s more long term as opposed to short term commendations like what Halo 5 had where you can get the commendations in weeks as opposed to months. I can’t remember the exact numbers for Halo 5 but I think the number of kills you needed for the br was like only 500 or something I’m probably totally wrong but the point is that Halo 5s commendations were super easy to achieve as opposed to Halo Reach’s where it took awhile to unlock all the teirs which I like. In full, the challenge system adds replay value to the single player and it would be less fun with it absence. However there is a precedent to be made that the notification sounds should be quieter, Exciting and rewarding but quieter and less explosive.
