The single biggest mistake anyone can ever do is listen to free advertisement.
Taking the word from people that get paid to do this is naive.
People I know are more honest about a game than any company/streamer. Nowadays, and 343 actions so far that speaks a hell of a lot louder than their words is a huge red flag.
I’m going to wait for a while and see what actually takes place and go from there. I’m tired of company’s making promises, but their actions show different.
Okay let’s put them in context. All the leaks have been right so far, this is a new leak, thus we can assume it’s true given the history. Done.
Okay I guess so then.
These are always my favorite take aways from fan boys of every game:
“Guys, GUYS, the game is still in beta, just wait until the full game. It’ll be better”
Game launches
“Guys, GUYS, 343 said they’re aware of the issues and we just have to wait until they patch it”
Patch comes out
“Guys, GUYS, they said the next update will be great, just wait”
Repeat this process until the game’s population has dwindled to only fan boys left and the forums become an echo chamber.
This isn’t how software development works.
I have products in beta. We have beta portals for clients. We update those beta portals, because it’s a beta which means changes can be made quicker and without a long-winded release term process.
This is for gaming though, because as a software engineer who works on proof of concepts and demos the way Betas have been treated in gaming is vastly different from other programs. Halo Reachs Beta, Destiny Beta, Division Beta, For Honor Beta, every Beta has never had a fix. They took the feedback…and applied it to launch. But we are already paying for stuff for gods sake in a beta. The Flights felt like Betas moreso than the actual Beta!
Well the goal is to avoid the iceberg before we hit it.
This seems like a Microsoft move then. Jesus
Do I look like a fan boy to you? What brain in your head said “This guys fine with paying 1k for store items?”
All I’m saying is don’t go too hard.
I don’t got money to spend like that.
Guys quit roasting me. You’re hurting my feelings. /s
Every prior halo title had Free MP with the ability to customize your spartan. The system became more complex even up to Halo 5. They gutted the customization and monetized every aspect of it. It’s a regression in the system and it wasn’t built with a consumer first approach. They didn’t care about whether or not we would like it. Just who would buy into it unfortunately. We don’t get the full experience here like we did in prior titles. If you want that you have to pay for it. There are ways to create a system that works for everyone, and I made a post about it. However, 343i may never see it, and if they do they may decide to ignore it. Still, I believe that option was the most suitable as everyone would have been satisfied.
Having to buy something to play MP is the exact opposite of “free”, and every other Halo game has required a full purchase for its MP. Infinite does not. Yes, Infinite has limited the customization suite in their 100% free to play game, and those who are unable to play every aspect of this 100% free to play game because they can’t change their primary and secondary color independently and grind a 6-12 armors will be disappointed. Those who play Halo because it’s Halo will be able to do so, once again, 100% for free.
I understand your sentiment, and agree but
This is immeasurably false.
Let’s not lie to try to get our points across.
This implies you want everything in the shop, once you find that armor set you love, I doubt you’re gonna feel obligated in any way to buy more cosmetics. I can almost guarantee you, you will not want anything in half of those bundles anyway. Which, reminder, don’t impact your gameplay in any way. This isn’t Halo 5’s weapon req system which even then only belonged to one mode. I will agree that Halo 5 had a better system with at least awarding req points for gameplay. But honestly… all this really boils down to is to just be patient. IIRC 343 IS working on tweaking BP progress and I’m sure they’ll eventually rework the store or offer some challenges that maybe offer some store points or something.
If spending money on in-game cosmetics is so bothersome to you, maybe…get a job or something to buy them? Idk, there’s definitely more to playing games than complaining about this exact topic for the 16th time today.
Yeah, you have basic colors, just not all the colors, wheres pink, wheres white?
Yeah, the famous “4 items” that are the same, in a normal situation, you would have 1 item that can be applied everywhere, but they show you “4 items” like you get different things lmao.
Sure, people want to keep the same armor forever, like we wouldn’t want to change it from times to times 
The beta is all day one content. Issues like this aren’t going to be fixed come the 8th
For real. Yall making a big deal about armor when you cant even see it. Just a gun and a left forearm is all you see for 99% of the experience. The other 1% is covered in a red glow and it isnt even yours. It belongs to someone else.
Take everything with a grain of salt.
Who would wanna buy everything?
