I don’t understand why people seem to be angry that the campaign costs 60$ when there are hundreds of singleplayer only games that also cost 60$, Are 343 just suppose to cut the price of the game down to 30$ when there’s no reason to do that?
It’s because multiplayer isn’t going to help justify the full $60, no multiplayer also means more expectations on the campaign to have to justify its $60 price. It’ll bizarre if they keep the campaign the same length and have no new features and what not while retaining full price status, cause if it doesn’t justify itself via content, then people will say it’s not worth the 60. I myself am also one of the people who will have bigger expectations out of the campaign because of multiplayer no longer being part of the package.
Let me tell it like that;
There is no Co-Op campaign, there is no Forge [both are not part of Mp if I’m right] and MP is Free-To-Play.
Why the hell should I spend 60 bucks on a Halo campaign which is for sure not worth the 60€.
When I bought Halo 3 and Reach for 60€ there were the campaign, forge and MP [and also cinema/fileshare/firefight in Reach] since Release.
Let’s do stupid math and say Campaign is worth 20€, Forge 15€ and MP 25€. Alltogether cost 60€ And now I don’t get Forge at Release and MP is Free to play.
So why should I spend more than 40€ for that?
As far as I understand it’s not a campaign like we’ve had before. As in 1 story about 10 levels and linear progression through them.
This campaign is supposed to get more and more added onto and into it as time goes on.
Please don’t shoot me for this, this is my understanding of this concept and could turn out very differently.

In this case 343 should be more transparence

Here’s hoping we’ll get to that soon.
I’m already glad with the transparency we’ve had thus far, but they seem to raise more questions than answers thus far.
We just have to wait and see the kind of content it’ll have. Maybe it’ll be this vast, nigh-endless adventure we’ve never gotten in a Halo game, and speaking of endless, its been pretty much confirmed that the campaign will be updated with new stories and things of the sort.

Way more questions. Personally I’m totally unhappy with the current nearly non-existence of transparency
It depends how big the campaign is, its worth it if its rlly big and rlly good
Who wants to pay $60 USD for a short 6-8 hour campaign that does not even have coop?
This is an unprecedented time. The cough pandemic means more people are financially struggling. People will likely be less willing to spend so much money on a product like that.
Missing/delayed content is another thing as well that is taken into consideration yeah. Before you’d have multiplayer, campaign, forge, co-op if you exclude halo 5 and infinite actually won’t have any of that as part of its package. Multiplayer is its own thing, co-op is looking to be added 3 months post launch and forge 6 months into ”season 2”. That campaign better be 20 hours long and have a good quality story to it👍
I know some people will mention how other single player games are also $60 but they still get judged based on its content and quality. Games like say Skyrim, dragon age, the whitcher, outer worlds, etc etc happen to have over 50+ hours for their main story lines, and then double that if you’re a completionist kind of gamer that does all the side content and collectibles. Halos campaigns to be honest have never been long but never to short either, but it also had other stuff to help make it worth its price of one wanted more.
I’ll also say I won’t buy into infinite being so big till I see it, I mean halo 5 did happen after all and that’s probably the fastest campaign I’ve done out of the entire franchise even after it was also said to be the biggest one yet🤷♀️.
I’m on the fence about a lot of what’s going on with campaign. I’m getting it through gamepass and I’m fine with getting the next iteration of halo campaign, but I can’t imagine paying $60 if the campaign just feels like the new and improved on a classic formula. I mean, games like Borderlands, Skyrim, or The Outer Worlds have so many more hours of gameplay outside of multiplayer than Halo ever did. Yeah, they’re very different games but what we’re really talking about are the shear quantity of unique experiences $60 has been able to purchase over the last decade.
I get that countless hours go into each minute of gameplay, so it’s not hard to justify $60 from a developers point of view. However, Halo has a lot of company these days and consumers need a compelling reason to not spend their money elsewhere. Maybe nostalgia is enough to compensate for that difference.

Mostly due to it missing one of the core features of campaign at launch.
Its the first to ship missing coop.

And no doubt expansions for the live service campaign will cost additional money on top of that…
When you go to a cinema for a movie you pay about €15 for a 2 hour experience without having free access to it after. For €60 you get a 6-8 hour experience that you can enjoy unlimited times, on different difficulties and later even with friends. Probably you even get free access to spin-offs released later.
Still a fine deal if you ask me. I’ve spend more money on a night I can’t even remember half off :’)

I don’t go to the movies. Waste of money when streaming is cheaper and has more content. Aka bang for your dollar. Hence why cinemas are dying out.
I am just going to play it on my Gamepass Subscription….
If you look at the wider picture, 343 are getting a $60 release Plus a monetised game. I know we get the choice if we want both, campaign or multiplayer, thats the only plus.

I wonder if Forge will be behind the campaign purchase?
I’m just happy to get the game and don’t mind paying 60€ for it, yeah sure forge and co-op are not there, but they are coming and it’s a long term game with plenty of future updates and more campaigns, when you think of the time and money companies put into making games, it’s not a bad price, some games are like 100€ on the store.
It’s a game that I will be playing for years so well worth 60€
