Oh mah lord, Halo Infinite was doing so well with hyping up the game, making a pretty good Halo successor and then they just haaaaad to f it all up for extra moola.<br><br>Ppl that kept defending the micro transactions as the "modern day standard" is why producers can get away with this greed so easily.,(reply>), @mrshmuga9 I find them pretty decent, co-op is a bit laggy if you play with someone in another country, the multiplayer is also kind of hit and miss. I mostly stick to reach's multiplayer because that was the one I dumped the most hours into as a teenager, but I can get games with people who are just average players or games with guys who no life halo like it's their job. So, coin flip there really for me. Single player, I've only ever had a couple issues with my game going into a weird laggy state where the game just responds slower, almost like bullet time from the matrix games. But that's mostly my video card on my laptop dying and not caused by the game itself (it happens with other games I play with similar specs, so it's not just MCC like I first thought).,(reply>), @Cuddle Cakes Except it DOES have a major effect. The main way you progress the battle pass for unlockables, is through challenges, not even winning. Which means more people will be focused on doing random crap to complete challenges than pay attention to the match. “Get to the payload” was a common phrase within Overwatch because people were distracted by getting kills than the mode they were playing. This is no different. So if you want to play team death match, you may not even get that experience because the developers gave more incentive to do something completely unrelated.,(reply>), @Stagger Lee Are the MCC versions of Halo good now? Not sure I’ll play multiplayer, but the collection is on sale.,(reply>), Halo 5 kinda killed the hype for me. I play games like these for the campaign over multiplayer so Halo 5 killed it for me.,(reply>), @Cuddle Cakes "just cosmetics" cept they ain't, halo recently made a big deal out of its 20yr anniversary. Some players have been rocking the same emblem, same colours and very similar armour styles for most of that time. Customisation has been baked into halo for years. It's s part of what people come to halo for and finding it know gated behind a pretty predatory microtransaction system is Infuriating. Heck even halo 5 with its awful req packs allowed for everything to be obtained for free via gameplay. Imagine if that emblem or that colour combo you've been using for god knows how long was suddenly gated behind a paywall, or even worse a helmet. All for the sake of going F2P. I'd rather have just paid for the game and gotten to keep my god damn Spartan looking the way it has for over a decade. And I'm lucky. A colour combo at least close to mine is available for free. It's not the same but it's better than being made to pay for something and it still not really be the Colour combo that it should be.
