You all remember that great teaser we’ve had few months ago, with the spartan academy, the hiding girl in New Mombasa, the new multiplayer, the spartan devices,…It supposed to be one of the great, if THE great episode of this saga, where the dev. team have listened the community to bring us the absolute epitome of this franchise…

AND NOW YOU GIVE US CAT EARS, FLASHY SPINE AND TEDDY BEAR LUCKY CHARM, WHAT THE HELL???

You did a spit on the whole die hard community by doing this, AND, making this game a Free To Play…What a shame, what a betrayal, this is the worst you can do. Like this, you can justify this game will constantly in construction by trying to sell us more useless fancy stuffs, and bring some fortnite community (kids, toxic players, cheaters) so more money for you…

We get it, video games industry have changed, but if you wanna make money, just be coherent with the universe you propose, in this case, HALO, so give us HALO stuff…Money will follow i assure you, i would be the first to buy some bad -Yoink!- spartan armor and coatings, trust me…

BUNGIE create an entire universe, deep, mysterious, powerful, what are you waiting for to stay in the line??? We’re in 2022 and the only things you can offer to the community to his 20 years of dedication is those cringey material?? If some people are not happy with this universe (spartan warrior, alien, space ship,…), they just can go to fortnite or Warzone, Apex or whatever, they ALL doing that kind of trend, so please, let HALO, our best childhood memories safe from those abominations. Flashy weapons, and skins are disguting and unfunny, stop that. This universe is supposed to be dark, cold, and violent, not silly.

I’m (and a loooot of people i know are) so done, so tired now every FPS or war game have to follow this fancy trend that have to be “funny” or “kid friendly”. For the love of god, keep that franchise spirit safe.

Concentrate to the sound design, the gameplay, a large server and long game multiplayer, give us some old remastered maps, fix your BTB matchmaking, disable crossplay because it ruin the multi, ban cheaters, add coop and more missions/quests to do in the campaign. And maybe i would come back on this game.

And last questions, where are the floods, scarabs, covenants, spartan Jerome, palmer, Blue team, team Osiris, Arbiter, Halsey, Lasky…?

You can do some much better 343, but you choose money over quality, no need to wonder why everyone is leaving…

I really don’t think 343i can do better at this point. The enablers of crap industry business models have opened the door far too long for the $$$$$$$$$$ greed to step out now.
Taking a complete game selling part of it only to dole out the rest for more $$$ in DLC … that’s where it started.
DLC isn’t a bad thing, the way it is used out of greed is though.
After DLC comes “Microtransactions” and “Battlepass/Seasonpass” More scummy ploys to get at the daft kids parents bank account.

Go to a bakery and buy a cake. What would you do if you bought the cake only to be told that half of it would come later… and you might have to pay again.
Apples to Oranges OR a perfectly logical way of looking at buying a product marketed as a Full product only to receive a faulty product lacking gameplay content and riddled with problems(Where the hayle was the QA team?) Yet, full to the brim on outrageously priced “Cosmetics”

No one asked for a “Free to play” Halo multiplayer where seemingly most of the budget went into pockets instead of product propped up by broad daylight robbery microtransactions and enablers defending the scammy money grab.
Don’t forget, you could have changed your 2 frag grenades into Pineapples for only TEN dollars.
