Microtransaction and free dlc vs pay for dlc

Here is something for those that think Halo 5 will be pay-to-win.

What would you rather want: 15 maps that you will have to pay for to get OR having all the maps for free and a non pay-to-win microtransaction system that will only effect one gamemode that is for having fun? Besides you can always ignore the REQ packs and play competative instead.

…just saying, or am i wrong on this?

Im sorry. But it bothers me a lot. I may have a problem

Well put. Warzone’s micro-transactions are far from pay to win as is due to all the balancing systems put in (it’s more like pay to get an opportunity at good weapons, and that same opportunity is available just by playing the game, so…) and if it allows us to get free maps, I’m 100% fine with it. Past Halo games have had DLC be very sparce in matchmaking due to player base segregation, and making all maps free allows all players to enjoy content that only a fraction of players would enjoy if it had to be bought.

I would rather have the micro transactions and not have the community get fragmented.

Even though micro transaction suck. So far from what I’ve seen it’s not a pay to win, so I am fine with it. Plus free maps to keep the community together is a win.

I know the free maps mean a less segmented multiplayer player base but I honestly can’t stand any sort of random drop pack system, I hated it in Battlefield I hated it in Titanfall and I will hate it in Halo 5, I hate not being able to unlock stuff permanently.

I’m perfectly fine with the way REQ packs have been implemented into Halo. I’d rather see the whole community getting to play together, than be fragmented due to map packs.

FREE DLC! wtf of thread is this?? 343 said they want to deliver free maps to not divide DLC buyers from non DLC buyers!

HERE HERE!

I would have been fine with these types of micro transaction even if we didn’t have free DLC, their effect on the game is so minuscule. Free DLC is a Plus not compromise in my eyes.

It does not bother me that they have it in warzome. Not like a player can buy it and use it right alway. Still have to be some what of a decent player to get to it.

I’m fine with the REQ pack microtransactions. The way they have been implemented is pretty much the best way possible.

Definitely isn’t pay-to-win. If it was, they’d probably say something along the lines of “Legendary weapons only in purchased packs” or something. Therefore, you’re right. To those that think it still is pay-to-win, you guys are idiots.

Oh ya that’s right, it’s just for ‘having fun’. No one try to win a game of warzone…it’s not meant for that…you’ve been warned. It’s not like those super serious BTB games you’ve played before.

No one at 343 has ever said those were our 2 options so I’d rather choose free DLC and no microtransactions.

I honestly don’t see the fuss over the microtransactions. After a few Arena games everyone’ll be on the same foot in Warzone.

And the reason the Microtransactions are there in the first place are to allow an alternate way to fund the DLC maps which we’re getting FOR FREE.

It’s entirely worth it, and 343i have done a great decision. This is just like Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer.

I don’t understand what you wrote. You want free DLC and you don’t intend to spend any money on microtransactions? or you want free DLC and no microtransactions in the game at all?

Both. Unless I missed someone at 343 saying the microtransactions were in place to ‘make up’ for the free DLC, I choose no microtransactions at all and free dlc. 343 is just making excuses to use microtransactions.I keep hearing 2 arguments to support them

  1. (waves hand in front of face) “you shouldn’t care about winning warzone matches. It’s ‘only for fun’.” (all previous halo games/matches I’ve ever played were for fun. winning can be fun)
  2. The microtransactions are so insignificant it doesn’t matter (except if they were insignificant there would be no point in buying them)

We’ll see when it comes out. I’ll be most likely playing warzone the most.

I don’t think micro-transactions being implemented in order to provide free DLC maps has ever been definitively stated by anyone at 343i. It’s just the conclusion that most of us have come in order to justify their inclusion. The gaming industry these days loves to nickle and dime consumers to death whether it be through paid DLC or micro-transactions and quite frankly I’m a little surprised we aren’t seeing both. We’ve all see the way paid map packs can destroy an online community so if it really was one or the other I’ll take unnecessary micro-transactions all day long.

Amenn! I don’t see why anyone is complaining tbh. I find it so simple. Do you rather being forced to pay for maps( let’s be honest not much of a choice when play list start requiring them) or giving the choice to pay for something you don’t want or think you have the time to get.

The big halo fans who play the game religiously (who enjoy H5 obviously) and have the time will be getting cards left and right. The casual halo fan, or even the big fan with just less free time can buy a pack and enjoy the playlist without feeling like the kids that don’t have jobs or responsible a got all the good stuff lol.

its easy to see the bad in it. Like someone just dropping 50$ to get good stuff to spam. But we gotta see thE convenient side of it too.

And 343i has already stated that players will be matched with people who have similar cards, so people who drop truck loads of cash on cards will get matched with people who have been earning them through game play and will probably get wrecked.
