Should We Be Able To Play Co-Op Even If We Don't Own The Campaign?

3 million IQ observation.

Nope

Apples to planets comparison.

Yes. You are.

Same as asking for the campaign to be free.

How is this a surprise to you and your friend? Is this the first video game you’ve played?

Why is my friend inviting me to play games I don’t own? Is my friend an idiot?

Buy the game or get game pass.

You don’t have to be a jerk about it.

I don’t have to be a saint either.

I’ve seen this with some co-op only games, which makes sense.

This does not.

Okay listen folks, the point is:
343 wants money, so they probably aren’t going to “make the campaign accessible” for people who have not paid for it.

Would you work for free? Making money is something we all want individuals or companies

Been this way on console…. Forever. It’s the industry standard. Just cause a game or two has this feature doesn’t mean all games should. It’s bad enough 343 markets infinite to have “free pvp”, now they should possibly have free campaign co-op invites? Why stop there… just give us the whole game for free and don’t charge for battle passes or in store items anymore.

Just cause the option to invite goes through doesn’t automatically equal “my friend should have a free game.” Sorry, but this is just silly talk at this point. Having invite/party options with gaming has been this way forever. 343 decided to trick ppl into thinking PvP was free (even tho it’s not separate from the rest of the game) so they could charge in their store. Don’t ya realize how much more costs would be if friends of friends were getting to play the campaign just cause they received a game invite? And what’s to stop someone from inviting another bunch of ppl (or invite the first friend themself) into campaign to play for free? Where does it end?

Sorry, but that’s a big no from me.

Anyone wanna co-op my mortgage?

The only time I’ve seen a game allow this is when it is co-op only.

Comment of the day! :joy:

Get gamepass, then you don’t have to buy game anyway.

I bought game pass twice now, both times for a Pound. So I’ve spent £2 and completed the campaign one and half times.

Game pass is a massive con if you pay full price.

Edit…
Infinite is 50% off right now… probably worth buying outright rather than getting game pass.

I don’t really think this thought should be dismissed outright, it needs some work.

In Mechwarrior 5, none of the three other players require the DLC the host has in order to access the DLC.
Starcraft 2 upgraded everyone in the lobby to the newest expansion a single player had in the group. So if three people had Wings of Libery and one had Legacy of the Void, then the three others had access to Legacy of the Void stuff.
Gears of War 4 Horde mode followed a similar approach where only the host needed to own the DLC maps.

Now, what kind of “restrictions” do I have in mind for this?
Only one “guest” per paying player, so it can’t be a lobby of one who owns it and three guests.
Achievements for “guests” do not unlock.
The player profile doesn’t upload to say the player has completed the campaign, even if they completed it Co-op.

The idea to “share” the campaign with people who don’t own it could be an incredible good-will boost and garner quite a lot of positive PR, which would be positive for Halo Infinite.

This is what I was talking about, what I meant.

you know that all the game’s you call have 1 thing the same what halo infinite not has.
and that is the game’s you call is what there all share is that you most pay for the full price from the game first or play it from the gamepas and that you need to pay for the gamepass also for it.
so left or right you most pay for it.

the idea the OP is asking is that the campaign most become free to play for the one’s that not own the copy from the game in the first place.
or have pay for the gamepass.
so your idea is also the same thing that the campaign most become free to play for then one’s that not pay it for the full price or have pay for the gamepass.

i not care if there are restrictions like the achievements but the point is the same what he is asking more.
that the campaign most become free to play for the one’s that not own then.
thats compleet wrong.

if it was for the matchmaking back in halo 4, halo reach or halo 3 that got the DLC system for the multiplayer then maybe it was a good idea.
but to remove the last restriction halo infinite has left its a big NO NO
wane play the campaign buy the game or buy the gamepass that are the 2 options.

That’s not what I’m asking. Once again, my words got twisted.

once again what you ask is still the same that the campaign most become free to play.

if you tell it in a diffrend way its still stay’s the same.
its left or right in the way you ask it but in the end its still the same thing you are asking more.

to make it more clear.
all the people that have post it on this thread are telling the same thing in the end.
that you wane see that the campaign most become free to play for the once’s that not have pay for it or have pay for the game pass.

Dont “a way out” and “it takes two” have like a coop pass type of deal? like one player buys the game and the other just buys pass so they can play but only through coop, it would be pretty neat if halo did that.

Those are both co-op only games though.

When you put a hook reaction on a post, and then feel the need to constantly explain, school and educate others on matters they’re perfectly aware of, what do you think will happen?

So?

No.

No.

Why do you care?

How many times are you going to repeat that?
And no.

Why?

You explain the most basic of concepts over and over again, but neglect to elaborate on reasons for your own.
So, for the quote.
Why?

Why do you care?

No.

Mmmmm, I’m gonna go with no.

To make it clear.
Not everyone is, and you’ve repeated the same thing now way too many times.
And “no” on that.
