Ehh same. Still, seekng as will always have stuff to unlock, and this is just week one. Ehh im hopeful 343 will listen. They already modified and gkxed challenges WAAAAAY faster than i thought they would. So that does give me some hope they will listen and adapt/adjust
I cant say Iâm surprised by this revelation everything the multiplayer monetisation has left me disappointed so far.
it might have the worst battle pass system i have seen so far and the everything in the shop is overpriced its a shame because, i cant see the player base sticking around when the rewards are so few and far between for people who choose to not purchase the battle pass.
The lack of armour in campaign only really adds to the issue showing even people who purchase the game wont really have anything to show for doing the campaign in multiplayer. Such a shame that what could of been the best customisation from any Halo since Reach and 4 to be locked behind so many paywalls.

Oh for sure this bp system sucks right now! Im just hoping 343 listens and adjusts stuff based on this criticism. Mm. Im fone with the armor i have as i said as i dont like most of the options. Honestly just making my slartan look kinda similar to i have mine in Reach to be honest!
I juat want more options and better options. Hell i even want achievement based ones both from mm and campaign. Like right now we have 1600g between campaign and mm, and id really love an exclusive armor for âget all mm chivosâ another for âget laso and speed run completeâ in story. And then one super rare armor for âobtain all 1600/1600â that way we REALLY can show off our hard work.
Still. Seeing as we are literally almost just 1 week in, and 343 has already fix and adjusted a few things, they have shown theyâre gonna actuallyblisten and adapt. Unlike how fâing slow they were to do so in halo 4 and5(i think took them 7 months for 5, 4 i gorget but a few months) but we got some fhanges in just a few days.
I am holding out hope they adress this and make changes. Not holding my breath for it, but so far im already impressed how quickly they addressed xp and challenges!

Iâve been playing Halo since CE, too. Infinite is competing in 2021 - not 2001.

Totally, Iâm looking forward to that. Hopefully theyâll finally bring back the H3 rouge helmet
Splitgate, which is Halo with portals, is not made by a AAA team, is free to play. and is on the Xbox has a better monetization.

I mean, not really. Itâs honestly the same or a little more restricted, but I get what youâre saying.
To be fair they have a much lower bottom line as well.
But yeah this is just greedy.
This dude is really comparing customization in video games to REAL LIFE.
Iâm done, bruh.

The sad thing is that I knew this would happen. Back at the previous version of Waypoint, I made a post saying the game shouldnât be free to play because of microtransactions. There were users defending the f2p choice. Now people probably regret that decision and are against it.

Always been totally against the free-to-play idea. Since the very first utterance of it coming to Halo I knew it would feel disgusting and corporatized. I want them to change their mind at the last moment and say âthe fans are right, weâre including Multiplayer with the Campaign instead of offering it for free because the fans do not want to be bent over a barrel with microtransactionsâ.

Armor would have been preferred, but Iâll take Coatings, because at least these ones specifically arenât locked to the shop, behind a beverage promo, behind a grindy challenge, or behind a grindy Battle Pass. And letâs be real here; most people are playing the Campaign through their XGP subscription anyway. Like, Idc if this is the best Halo story ever told, I ainât outright buying the Campaign. No sir! No thank you!
People will buy it once TheActMan releases a âwhy this game is awesomeâ video of the campaign.
Yeah, same. The thing that gets me with these systems is how expensive specific crap is on the store. Itâs like a third of a AAA game for me to buy one skin with a white paintjob. And then people will defend it by saying âwElL tHeY hAvE tO mAkE mOnEy SoMeHoWâ as if they didnât do this because itâs going to be ten times as profitable and as if they didnât just slice the multiplayer out of their original product. Maddening.
Silver linings though, hopefully weâll retain a stronger playerbase in the long-run with it being F2P and multi-platform. For all my gripes the biggest bummer for me with modern Halo has been the dead playerbase.

Wasnât 343 put together by Microsoft? Wouldnât that mean they help in funding?

The people who actually create monetization systems literally call the people who spend tons of money through them whales.

Iâm talking about the people who listen to YouTubers, as the other people who replied to me said that people will outright buy the Campaign once videos are posted saying how awesome it is.

Lmaoo they wonât be getting a DIME out of me for the multiplayer. Not a single one. THEY HAD ONE JOB !!! ONE EASY JOB AND THEY BOTCHED IT. Amazing. So amazing. Lousy decisions made by some greedy individual.
I refuse to be a statistic among the people who bought the battle pass. And for those who do? You are the problem. Guess Iâll be ranked Onyx with no custom armor đ¤ˇđžđ¤ˇđžđ¤ˇđž.
