You don’t think they should integrate classic skins in the battle passes? Ok, cool. Good for you.
I have no idea what you are trying to say re: McDonald’s and Walmart but that’s ok.

No fomo in Halo infinite though.
Theres no time limit on season passes. You can do it in a month or in a year if you'd like.
That makes it a huge difference compared to the traditional fomo season pass.

True. I just mean, you literally can't even see yourself. So what you're mostly paying for is curing that sense that you're missing something cool. Then you wear your cool skin. But in reality, you can't see anything but a tiny bit of your forearms. If the game was 3rd person, it would be a lot more impactful.

I 'member. Remember when people didn't need dumb carrots on sticks like fluffy helmets just to play video games? I 'member.
The same people complaining about this stuff are the same people that complain about how we're no longer in the good old days. It's complete nonsense. In the good old days you just played the shitting game. You're getting multiplayer Halo for free, the full campaign can be played on a £1 Game Pass trial, and people are mad because they can't have free dildo armour. Lunacy.

Well battle pass has sold really well, and I even bought it as well. I want to support the dev and there's a few decent cool stuff in it.
I can't see myself unless I'm dying (so I kinda see myself often lol), but I still know what my armor looks like. You also see yourself in most of the vehicles.
It's like saying why get some nice clothes if you cant see yourself from third person view. I mean, you can see the front of you, but not third person while you do the Chad walk.

You can see yourself before and after every match, doing poses and shit.
Wolfenstein ET launched with only 6 maps. For good. It was originally meant to be a paid expansion before it was launched as freeware
You’re comparing that to a Halo game with more maps, more modes and a Forge Mode in development and years of support?
can you mention other games that have been given to you for free in the past decade?

Enjoy it you crazy MP gamers, I cannot relate to this mtx shit at all. I see it in SP games I play and if I hit a bullshit time wasting wall I just alt-tab, run WeMod (Or CheatEngine) and skip the bullshit for free.
Literally spending hundreds or thousands of currency instead of spending 30 mins of your life learning how to use CheatEngine, I appreciate people don't always have a lot of time to game generally but if you are just being lazy thats mental to me.

I dont really care. What I'm saying in the mcdonalds and walmart examples is that there are options everywhere we go in terms of "extras", we don't add up the totals of thos things and get mad at the company for giving us lots of choices or charging too much simple by adding them all up.

Is that a lot of money? Yeah. Do you need to pay that? No.
They're strictly cosmetics, and that's really it. If you wanna buy some, well, then partake and get the ones you want. But it doesn't mean you need ALL of them.
I know monetizing F2P games can seem pretty scummy (depending on how it's done of course) but developers can't keep their doors open and pay their teams without making money. The larger the projects, the larger the teams, the more money is required for development.
I personally don't see a problem with monetization of a F2P game, as long as it's done correctly. In Infinite, I feel like this has been done very well, the "issue" is that they have a large catalog of things to purchase. But again, no one needs to purchase all of that, and if they do or want to, they clearly have "fuck you" money, so who cares? Lmao.

Yes, but that was a different time.

I just wish the Battlepass wasn’t needed for most armor sets/accessories. There’s only a handful of armor sets I’m fond of in Halo, so I’d rather just spend a little bit here and there on what I want instead of having to buy/unlock them in bulk. Not big deal I mean I’m still playing it, but it would be nice to just buy an ODST set and be done with it.

Last year I bought several Action Figures from the Halo Infinite Line. I wondered where that game went.

Why would someone want to buy everything?
1000 bucks in F2P game to completely close out the store?
That doesnt actually sound bad albeit alittle OCD for someone to want to buy everything.
Halo Infinite has a sufficiently good gameplay loop i aint even gonna pay for the premium battlepass.
I do want the Black/Gold or/the Winter Camo vehicle skins tho....but made a promise to myself years ago i wouldnt spend in F2P games in case it triggered something in me.

That only takes a couple of cans of Rockstar to get (for the weapon/warthog skins)
i mean you can see yourself in the menu, in the starting animation, when you're driving vehicles, and other third person POV like hijacking players, etc. That's obviously like <10% of your total time, but you go into 3rd person more often than in like Apex Legends

That still makes no sense whatsoever.
Your Wallmart example is more akin to walking into a GameStop and getting upset that purchasing a single games doesn't give you access to every other game on the shelves, which is not what's being discussed here.
The appropriate example is walking into a Wallmart, going into the furniture section, picking out a chair that you like, and then finding out that the chair only includes the base and two feet, whilst the leather seating, head-pillow, armrests and everything else has been relegated to $1000 worth of "extra's", even though five years ago that same chair was $100 with everything included.
I know it won't change your mind, since as long as it's 'free to play' there are apparently no limits to what a company can do (such as change the entire financial structure of their products to target addicts), but if you're going to make these kinds of comparisons, at least try to be somewhat accurate.

Meh if we get more maps continually and the game has a healthy population it all works for me. I spent a few bucks on one of the Sets and will probably get the BP eventually but right now there is nothing in there that interests me.
I did have to reset my mindset though as I have always unlocked all Armors in Halo games. I can't do that now, the cost for me is more that the benefit and that's fine.

Only available in the US.
Im already making some phone calls to friends in the US to try get them to do me a solid.
But I will be showing off my 90s blackness with Gold/Black before season 2 drops....mark my words!
Fuck that.
The Xbox Series S should be free to all who ask for one....after all they are a trillion dollar company.
Heck every Xbox Game Studios game should be free on PC and Xbox.....after all they are a trillion dollar company.
Why would a company want to make money when it already has money right.
Its a frikken travesty.

Right? It’s as simple as that. Why are so many people so upset about this? You’re not forced to buy them, nor do they make you play any better or give you an advantage.

It's extortionate but they're just following the trend other f2p games have set
I love cosmetic progression and this is why I'll always prefer paying $60 over free to play, but they make more money with the latter at the end of the day

All are cosmetics that have absolutely no bearing on gameplay, so it doesn't concern me. I played thousands of hours of online multiplayer on Halo 3 and aside from the flaming helmet cosmetic, no one cared about how your Spartan/Elite character looked. All that mattered was winning (in competitive modes) or having fun with friends (Forge/Custom Games).
Nobody needs to buy the cosmetics, although there seems to be a ton of people leaning towards the gray skin to blend in better with the environment even with the color highlights, it does kind of work.
If you're dumb enough to be "effected" by skins then you deserve what you get, this is an FPS you barely ever see your own character.

These hot takes and ridiculous assumptions are pretty funny NGL.
Over the course of the next 6 years or longer I’m anticipating that I’ll buy well over 10 battle passes for this game, and I’ll buy the Gungnir outfit too for £15.
I simply think, that like Fortnite and Apex, there should be 3 good skins included with each battle pass. And in my opinion the classic skins would be perfect for that. They can still have wacky/new skins on the store, bundles, funky colours, gun skins and whatever the fuck else they want on the store to supplement the battle pass income.
But nah fam I just want everything in life to be completely free whilst getting a blow job from Bill Gates.

I mean I just bought the battle pass, so your saying we are getting scraps for skins/content? If so then they should detail what your getting in the battle pass. I would have bought a higher tier even if it meant better weapons/character skins.

Probably the worse battle pass I've bought. Everything positive they say always seems to have a caveat. It's no wonder they don't expire

Tbf from other F2P games I've played, Fortnite and Warzone are far less aggressive in their systems.
They also feature better battle passes that dont require impossible to achieve challenges to progress.

OMG who cares. Why does anyone even care about cosmetics in an FPS? FH5 has a lot of cosmetic, emotes and other stupid stuff you win with accolades and I have way less than zero interest in any of them. I never use them or even look at them.
I guess if people actually care about and truly need to have this stupid shit they deserve to pay a ton for it.

As it stands, battlepass grind sucks. Not enough XP for all the rounds we played this weekend.
