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

then scroll back to the top.
you see that a lot off people hate his idea and all tell the same thing.
that if he wane play the campaign with friends he must pay the full price for it or buy the game pass.

and that his idea is more asking that the campaign most become free to play for the once’s that not wane pay the full price for it or wane pay for the game pass.
and thats the same thing you are asking also.

since his idea is only making the people that have buy it for the full price or play it vira the game pass only not happy about it.
and if you read it also good he was also asking in other threads to make costmatic’s free.

i and a lot off others have pay for the campaign mode all is it for the full price or buy the game pass.
that we are against his idea that people that not wane pay for the game pass or the full price for the game can play the campaign for free without paying for like we all most do.

and if you wane know why i give it thats bait.
then i can explane it to you.

that what you explane is what other game’s have and what the OP wane see in halo infinite for the campaign is the same thing more.
that people like him not wane pay for the game pass what is super cheap or wane buy the full game for the full price only wane see things for free more.
there need to be happy that the multiplayer is free to play and not pay to play since a lot off people like to see that the multiplayer become’s Pay To Play again like it most be.
now a day’s there are not happy with it and wane see more and more things become free like the campaign or costmatic’s and in the end there wane see that the game become’s full free to play.

A lot of people != All people

No.
Reading the post explains the post.

I guarantee you people will be furious when / if the OG campaign is reduced in price and sold with a campaign DLC.
“Why don’t I as a TrUe HaLo FaN get a discount on the DLC when I bought the Campaign when it was new?”

But, two things.
A: No.
B: Uhu, and since I haven’t read that thread I’m not going to comment on it, but considering how you handle this, I’m going to assume you left quite a few details out.

“We’re jealous and angry that others can get something for cheaper or get a special deal we didn’t… Grrrrr”
How does it affect you if someone else gets a better deal?

You think tame similarities, along with the restrictions I suggested come, are the same?

Must be difficult seeing all the Coach Co-Op games, and I guess you’re against couch Co-Op being implemented as well if they get it working?
I mean, with Halo CE I completed the campaign Co-Op with atleast five different people who didn’t own the game.
Halo 2 basically the same.

Oh, Warcraft II would’ve driven up a frenzy with how many who didn’t own the game got to play the multiplayer for free, piggy backing on a single person owning the game.

Ps. I bought the Halo 2 Multiplayer DLC disc for myself, then lended it to my nephews so they too could get access to the new maps.

Sigh
No.

They need to be?
Are you dictating how someone else should feel? Classic…

No.

i have also not read that thread at all.
since my first post if you look up i make a funny sarcasm what maybe is comming next since what he is going to try to make something else free since he not wane pay for it.
and since a other player has replay to me with the text that he has done that all a lot off time’s its no suprice he is now trying it with the campaign to make it free to play.

if there was a system like that in the past in the halo serie’s then there most have a big good reason to remove something like that and never wane use it again for the campaign mode’s.

if he wane play the campaign from halo infinite and not wane pay for it then he most ask a friend if he can borrow the game for some time.
then he can play it also for free without for paying it since his friend has pay it all.

Ah yes, but I guess it’s an easy enough thing to misunderstand considering the circumstances.

Either way.
No, yet again, on the thing you keep repeating.

What?
No… Aaaand
Reading the post explains the post.

If there ever had been a system like couch co-op in Halo?
Have you actually followed any Halo news since Halo 5?

Which is way different and totally acceptable to you, than having a guest spot for Co-op.

But he shouldn’t have it for free, hasn’t that been the entire reason you’re here?
Because you’re angry you spent money on the campaign?

I dont see how this is suprising. You ahould buy the game if you want to play it. Gone are the days of sharing physical copys or split screening at your buddys house. Its 60 bucks for a pretty good campaign with a lot of replay value imo - so good investment if you like halo

not forget there is also a game pass he can buy and i think you only need to pay a few dollers a month for it to play game’s that have a 60+ price tag on then.
in the EU you pay 1 euro for the game pass that has game’s on it that have a price tag of 60+ euro’s so cheaper then that you cant get to play halo infinite campaign for 1 euro when you normal most pay 60 euro for it.

since halo 4 i have been following the game what more then normal.

lets see you pay 1 euro for the game pass in the EU for a game that has a 60 euro price tag if you buy it in a normal store.
and then somebody come’s with a idea he not wane pay for a game that is super cheap to play it with the game pass for a simple 1 euro.
and sure i am angry if people come with idea’s that there wane have things for free and not wane pay for it.
normal people that like the game are going to pay for it and not wane try it to make it free since there not wane pay for it.
and since the game pass is so cheap then buying the game from a normal store now a day’s there are still people that are not happy about it and wane see it become’s free.
so you make more a big problem when the solution is so easy that he only has to pay a few doller for the game pass and he can play the campaign from halo infinite much cheaper then you buy it from the store.

Irrelevant.

So why are you asking?

Irrelevant.

Based on your complete and utter misconception, sure.
But here you are suggesting a solution which gives the user everything for free.

Third time’s the charm, right?
Irrelevant.

And that’s coming after suggesting to borrow the game for free, in addition to being angry with free stuff.

Every example you listed requires a person to have at least bought the full base game. None of those gmes listed offer access to paid content to free to play players. A more reasonable restriction with the examples you proved would be, if you own the base campaign then maybe you should be allowed to play the DLC’s without purchasing them as long as you understand that you will not earn any DLC or gear from it.

As for the PR angle. The multiplayer being Free to Play gave this game a bad PR, so why would making the campaign free for some and not others be a good spin? I don’t understand the logic.

I also do not understand Savior’s request fully either since this game is not expensive nor hard to obtain. As many have already pointed out the $1 entry fee.

whats your problem with it now.

since all the people on this thread have make it compleet clear to him that there are against his idea and nobody is support it.

that what he is asking is to make the campaign free to play.
and all the players have make it compleet clear on this thread that there are against his idea and what he is asking is to make the campaign Free to play since he not wane pay 1 singel doller for the game pass since thats all to much.
so you can tell things like its Irrelevant or so but sadly a lot off people think compleet diffrend on this thread and there agree on the same point what he is asking for and give him the same solutions he can do to play the campaign.

Except Starcraft 2 which made a free Arcade “version” which was free to play and functioned in the same way where that edition was upgraded to the newest expansion available in the party.
And these are somewhat concurrent examples of games where something is free for the players as long as the host owns it…
That’s in addition to the multitude of split-screen co-op games we’ve been playing over the years and still play.


“Sharing is caring” is bad, mmmkaay.

Myes, allowing Halo fans to invite friends in to Halo Infinite to play the campaign and not jump into a Multiplayer match is a completely bad PR move equal to that of making Multiplayer free to play. Because multiplayer certainly didn’t contain MTXs which to this day gets a ridiculous amount of new content in the store. It certainly had a lot of quality content on launch and decisions made regarding cosmetics weren’t done so for the sole purpose of selling cosmetics.

I rarely question reasons as to why someone suggest something, because I want to work with the suggestion.

Quote it, quote the exact words where he wants the campaign to be free to play., I’ll wait.

you know what a hidden text means.
thats is what he is using on the thread titel and on his first post.
if you look really good you see its compleet hidden what he really means.
and read all the replay’s on this thread.
all the people on this thread have found the hidden text what he really means with this idea.
i can think count 20 time’s on this thread all that people have found the hidden text from the OP all what he really means with this thread.

You know what assumptions mean?
That’s what the uproar in this thread is based upon.
If you look really good you see it’s complete assumptions the uproar is about.
And read the OP in this thread.
The OP has explained what he means with the OP.
I think I can count 20 time’s on this thread all the people who based the judgement on an assumption the made, most likely because of bias.

PS: Thought you couldn’t find the exact quote.

Split screen was always Halo’s best marketing tool. Ask halo players what their first halo experience was and the most common response will be playing with a friend.

Since split screen co-op is shelved, a good alternative would be to find some way to allow campaign play with friends that don’t own the game. That could look a thousand different ways, but I can definitely see this idea helping the population grow and even bring in more campaign sales.

how can this bring up more campaign mode sale’s if there add the campaign mode all in the xbox game pass that only cost 1 doller for 1 month help up to bring up more sale’s?

Sure, game pass subscriptions or straight campaign sales. It would help both.

if you wane inporve the campaign mode sale’s there need to do first a lot off things to make it happing.

first: the campaign mode we have now is so compleet boring that if you compleet the first 14 missions you get compleet boring with notting to do at all after that.
same if you compleet all the mini side missions it gets compleet boring.

second: the campaign needs to have a long therm contant plan that make sure you not get bored after compleeting the 14 missions.
and for that there have been a lot off threads on the forum all with idea’s for the long therm.

then you have maybe chance that more people going to play the campaign.

but sadly what there need to do first is fix the multiplayer problems good so that it can get a better reputation.
the halo name it self most have a reputation fix.
and that most off all fix the playlist and contant flow problems.

and this idea from the OP is not going to work at all since if you read good people are not happy about his idea at all.
what there have done wrong is to break the promice there have make with split screen Co-Op.

so there is a long long list off problems there need to fix and deal with if there wane restore the halo serie’s.

Absolutely that would help, but it doesn’t really help introduce new players to the game like a free co-op version would. I’m talking about a stripped down or demo version that allows co-op play. This would be significantly less effort than what your are suggesting.

The replies on this thread are mainly surface level/thoughtless replies. The OP may just be asking for campaign for free, but I think it’s deeper than that.

This I agree with 100%

if there is a campaign demo version that is compleet free then it maybe can help.
is it then not fair that there only can play in the demo version the first mission and the second mission only and that its on normal difficulty only?
and after that you get kickt out off the party since you not own the full version from it.
to make it work for Co-Op with somebody that owns a full version off the game is going to be hard.
since splitscreen Co-Op has been scrapt all for the full version i see no hope for something like that for a Co-Op system like that with a demo version.

the way he is asking it and the titel from this thread also tells all much what he is real asking more that he not wane pay for it and not wane spent real money on it at all.
if paying for a 1 month game pass that cost 1 singel doller is no worth to play the campaign when you most pay 60 doller in the store to get the digital version or the disc version.
and still need to ask something like this that if you not own it but you wane play it in Co-Op mode then you ask for it more that people get pisst off more about it.

That’s not what I asked.

your idea is the same as asking that the campaign most become free to play.
then explane to us on this thread.

you wane play the campaign mode by not owning the campaing mode it self right and not wane pay for it also.

so that is asking to make the campaign free to play.
if you play the campaign with somebody that owns in Co-Op mode that means you play the campaign mode for free and thats calling Free to Play.
so you have no right to play the campaign mode for free if you not have pay for it with real money what other do.

so long you not have to pay with real money for things there call it FREE so thats the same thing you are asking.
