Maybe they should have reconsidered these blantantly oppressive monetisation strategies before releasing the damn game. People have lost patience because this is the 3rd game in a row that they’ve colosally cocked up core features, gameplay design and other very important aspects of the game. I honestly do not blame the majority of the angry players, because this game is a complete joke when you compare it to what 343i promised the community.
Except there are hundreds of crash reports and form discussions dedicated to PC crashes dating back to 27th of December 2021, and they still havent even released a public statement addressing the issue. I have loved halo since combat evolved on windows 7 on a rickety old laptop, and i’ve played every single one more than i can count (could only force my self to do one playthrough of 5 though). 343 has been doing the halo series right with infinites campaign and multiplayer but all the good things ^above^ are moot if the game crashes (no lie) every 3-5 minutes. We need 343 to address serious issues stopping gamers from enjoying this great game and not trying to silence people who are having genuine issues even playing it.
The main reason the fan base is unhappy is because 343 had 6 years and a 500 million dollar budget and dropped the ball again. No Halo game in it’s 20 years were ever this broken. Admittedly, Halo 5’s release was dumpster fire but in compression it wasn’t this bad.
