What I have to say about everything at this moment.
I’m fine with a game that has micro transactions… Many people are, I’m actually even fine with it be old classic armor from previous Halo’s. I believe that they should have new armor and old in the store but not priced so high.
There are games that have proven the battlepass system works. All we needed to do is play the game get free armor coatings, armor, attachments, components, and banners, 2XP. Challenger swaps should be reward after playing five games.
Give out free in game credit, paying for free and paying battlepass users. Obviously battlepass users get more because they pay for it. You could even do events that give out credits or weekly challenges.
Make the armor store packs worth buying as bundles not a armor color and visor for $15. That’s the most outrageous part.
All the original emblems should be free, all armor coatings should be able to be used on every armor core.
The reward system needs reworked which they said they will….
But even then we still fall under the expensive store. Max for an armor bundle should be 2000 credits. Max for armor coating bundle which includes coating for weapons, armor, vehicles is 1200 credits. Now for purchasing credits. 1,000 credits $8, 1,500 credits $10, 2,500 credits should be $20 and you guys get the picture. Every credit purchase should leave me with more credits after purchasing a coating set or bundle. And maybe they won’t have to do this if they give out free credits or weekly credits for all the weekly challenges.
They can sell smaller armor bundles/cosmetics for 500-800 credits. As a business stand point only offer 1,000 credits as the lowest because in a free battlepass you can get 200-500 credits. In a paid battlepass you can get 1,000. I don’t want to keeping buying each battlepass unless I chose to spend my money I made on cosmetics. Each battlepass cost 1,200 credits it’s simple to create a good micro transactions system. That will work and for people to like, now not everyone because some people think everything should be handed down by playing but let’s be honest they don’t make money and that’s pretty naive. We need to realize this and work with them if they work with us…
Although I can’t stress, armor coatings need to be universal. Visors, and emblems should be as well.
Need events! I’m fine with events being challenge based on particular game mode. But give me a separate challenge category. I’m personally fine with the fact I didn’t complete enough of the challenges last week so when it comes back and I can finally finish it I won’t be able too get 100%. I think that’s how all events have always been in every game and sorry if you missed out. Maybe later in the year re-release it for people and complete the last two challenges I needed.
We need at least a new event every two months.
I like weekly challenge rewards but shouldn’t have to pay for challenge swaps. They’ve already worked well on the challenge system and personally I agree with their XP system. The only thing that will make it more like able is having set map game mode choosing in social playlist (Quick Play, BTB, and future separate genres). Halo 3 did this perfect. Our thought process in choosing should be; Maybe it wasn’t the map you wanted but at least people got the gamemode they wanted or people got the map but not the gamemode.
Maybe I just need kills on this map or maybe I need a kill with a specific weapon which is on this map. Have everyone’s set weekly challenges the same and if they want to swap one out they can just for themselves. They get free swaps every five games they play and even more through paid battlepass.
I like the idea of having SWAT and FFA back but I would like game modes within them personally. I get bored of slayer but sometimes I don’t prefer certain maps/game modes like anyone else. I think it would be cool if Swat had Oddball, Strongholds and more. Personally I don’t like strongholds, but it’s an idea and I know most people might not like that. I feel the same with fiesta allowing swat and fiesta be a playlist rather then a mode brings more fun and chaos. Especially in FFA, obviously strongholds wouldn’t work but having king of the hill back and honestly it would work in every playlist.
What makes it better is people get to choose out of three maps with set game modes. Eventually you’ll see what people vote for more and you can increase the chances to choose from those game modes then others.
I do think Rank shouldn’t have a choice in map and game mode.
We should have a party playlist, which we can choose to play infection, griftball, and personally I think fiesta fits under this umbrella. 343 can release random fun event game modes in the future or built forge maps after forge is out.
I like how in quick play you have one team defending and one attacking on a specific capture the flag map, I think bring griftball back which brings back delivering a bomb would also work well on a map like that. I like the idea of one team defending and the other attacking. Gives me search and destroy vibes which in my opinion is the only good COD game mode at least it was when I use to play COD.
I love halo and I will support both sides as I can see reason for both.
343 has a lot on their plate but I do trust them and hope they listen. I don’t agree with the post he made, I actually 60% disliked it and the other 40% understood.
We also need to give credit where credit is due as well, with all Covid restrictions and them listening they are trying to make our game come true without losing site of how they want the game done.
The feel of the game is amazing, I don’t experience the known bugs almost never, the servers feel amazing only had one laggy server and the game crashed twice on me. The graphics are beautiful, the detail is beautiful, I believe for the most part when it comes to weapons this is the most balanced they’ve ever been. Now I still have opinions on buffing and nerfing but no matter what we will all have opinions.
I love this community, I love everyone’s opinion, and I love Halo. There’s no need to be a**es or pricks, and even when the community comes off so toxic it’s mostly or passion for the game talking. Now that might not include everyone lol.
I hope you all enjoy this, thanks for reading.
I apologize for grammatical errors, I typed as I thought and didn’t go back and read it again.
