Battlepass ruins the heart of Halo multiplayer

[Pale]

Cosmetics have always been a core part of Halo's multiplayer. Now what feels like 99% of all cosmetics are locked behind a $30 season pass, PER SEASON. This is terrible.

They need to get money from somewhere, it's a free game now, and we have 6 months to unlock everything, it's not that bad

I would have preferred a full price game with an actual good progression system like Reach.

"its not that bad" *is literally worse than every other battle pass on the market in both price and hours needed*

due to the diminishing returns of the pass XP once the weekly challenges are done your looking at maybe 5 levels a week as long as you clear everything, which is 4.6 months.... so yeah unless you play literally this game and nothing but this game for 4 and a half months you wont max the battle pass.

originally they planned a new pass every three months, however the second has been delayed, but once they return to that 3 month schedule its going to be tough to max a battle pass without additional payment before starting the next, extremely difficult.

there is a full price game its called "campaign" and you have to buy it, just this time you dont get the multiplayer suite because that is "free"

Have you ever played halo 3? The game has a ton of cosmetics dont lie to people.

I have played, and finished, every single Halo game on Legendary, asides 1 and 2 Which I did on heroic. Solo.

I've put countless hours into each game in Split screen, Co-op, Online Multiplayer. I am not lying to people.

And sure, halo 3 had more than '4-6' options so let me be more specific.

Elites had 5 sets of armor.

Spartans had 13. Some of which were tricky to get so it wasn't uncommon to only have a couple of sets.


That asides, Customization wasn't a huge part of Halo, Until reach. Where there was a huge list of sets, and an extensive customization menu.

If anyone cared more about the cosmetics of a Halo game over the actual gameplay of halo at any point, they were missing the point of playing halo.

Ahh now i really cant take you seriously casual plug of "i beat game on legendary" wow. The halo community went nuts over custimization in Halo 3, you must not remember Machinama and the quest to get recon.

Oh no the game is free but the company still tries to make money via a purely optional COSMETIC battle pass. The horror. Muh conshoomer rights.

You also have to consider that the game is live service and free to play. They have to keep funding content unlike with previous Halo titles. There's nothing wrong with the battle pass.

1. you can also get it for 10$ if you dont want the boosts
2. its unlimited, you can unlock season 1 in 2043 if everything still exists by then even
3. since when were cosmetics a huge part of halo? halo 3 literally only has like 3 different sets to choose from, and its not like youre gonna praise someones cosmetics for twenty minutes during a match
4. its a beta, theres no doubt gonna be cosmetics you can earn for free later on, i mean theres already a free shaders set, and itd be weird if they didnt add some campaign rewards or occasional challenges to give some cosmetics, and maybe theyd give a helmet or shader once or twice every few years like they do already with MCC

Imagine being mad that halo multiplayer is free. And you gotta pay $10 for a battlepass vs paying $60 for the game.

The core issue is that the it's only free to justify the battle pass, and distracting from the fact that the actual money costing parts of game development are going to be more than covered by the base game. battle pass only is also just a horrible method for all unlocks anyway, every game before this is example enough

Every game before this was a premium game.

Infinite being free is a matter of accessibility, which was proven by the fact that it took less than 3 hours after it was launched by surprise to be the most popular and viral MGS title on Steam ever.

If you want the old Halo systems so badly they are literally being sold in the MCC. You can go there. One free to play title that millions of people are enjoying is not going to kill you.

[slimy slimy, grimy grimy]

dude it's free and I don't even see the point of preseving old halo anymore. We can't turn back time, just let them do what they want at this point. At least it isn't call of duty tier where they are launching absolute ♥♥♥♥ almost every year ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over the video game market

There are Scam MMO's with more customization.

[moi]

nope

[Pew Pew Pew Dead]

Its $10 every 6 months its legit nothing how long do you have to wait between halo games years? you pay $60 for a game that comes with the cosmetics and you acquire everything within a year that's fine but here you pay $10 every 6 months but get infinite content $60 = 36 months of cosmetic content for you to get its really not that bad in the grand scheme of things and it will keep you satisfied for a lot longer than the usual halo without the 5-6 year gap between each game.
