PLEASE DON’T RUIN THIS GAME LIKE HALO 5
To avoid killing the franchise’s multiplayer/online play:
Armor customization’s should be unlocked by ranking up through playing the game. People should know that by attaining a certain rank they can unlock specific things.
NO LOOT BOXES! - also do not make a ranking system which is ridiculously difficult to advance through but on the side having the option to just buy stuff. It’s greedy and feels gross. Halo 5 was absolutely horrible with this.
Weapon Variants: The addition of all the upgraded weapons in halo 5 (perk type things) really hurt the gameplay online and made it very unbalanced. I think it also just really takes away from all of the base weapons. I’m sure there is a way to have different variants in a way that is balanced, fun and accessible but halo 5 is a perfect example of what Not to do.
I’ll let everyone fill in the rest of the things I didn’t include
343 & Microsoft,
I will leave you with this, if you release amazing games that are Not greedy, money grabbing scams, we will pay for them. I’m personally planning on buying a new tv and a series x to experience this game at its fullest. I think the vast majority of people would happily pay double the price for a game if it meant being able to enjoy it at its fullest from day 1.
I love halo and have ever since I first played it on the original xbox, I have purchased every halo game that has been made (excluding halo wars- still need to). However, I can say with certainty that if this game is filled with loot boxes and other types of micro-transactions, I will not be buying another halo game, and this franchise will be ruined.
If this game and franchise is meant to last and money needs to be made, charge more for the product as a whole. If its a premium product people will pay a premium price, additionally if it feels like there is a lot of value people will do it with a smile.
