This is just fucking disgusting. Remember when you paid 60$ for an entire game, Campaign, Multiplayer and Forge back in Halo 3, full customization with EARNED ARMOR. Most of which was extremely easy to get, surrounded by a community FULL of people willing to help you even for those Lone Wolf achievements? Yeah, I remember that. Then Halo Reach came along and simplified things and made customization deeper, Halo 4 was okay, then Halo 5 made things.... unbearable and RNG based. Now comes Halo fucking Infinite. Everyone looks the same, everyone IS the same, why? Because F2P bullshit. Sorry but I'm sick of this shit. It's disgusting, Battlepasses are gross. 95% of the 'Earned' armor is locked behind it, spaced out between useless challenge and EXP boosters. All paced by weekly challenges, SO MANY CHALLENGES OF WHICH ARE DEPENDENT ON OTHER PLAYERS with a minimal as fuck EXP reward. I just can't support this, I've been a fan of halo since Halo 1, I was fucking 4. Now I'm 23, jaded and resentful towards the very franchise that made me love gaming. It genuinely depresses me that the one OUT in life I had, Halo and gaming as a whole as turned into this. I'm sorry but if my gaming experience is ruined because Little Timmy can't cough up 60$ for halo and begs for a F2P multiplayer, I'll happily say 'Fuck Timmy' if it means I can have a complete experience. To anyone who says 'It's just cosmetic how does it affect the gameplay'. It doesn't, but it sure as fuck does ruin my enjoyment of the game when I can't express myself through customization unless I cough up monthly payments.<br><br>"We're not gonna make players play the way they hate" Okay so why the fuck am I forced to play the way I hate in game modes I hate for these challenges? Why are they completely dependent on my team and the enemy team? None of these challenges should be fucking forcing me into a game mode I despise aka RANKED, SEVERAL Ranked Games. Or fishing for assists, Fishing for Melee kills (Thus feeding the enemy team in constant exchanges), Play Powercell and all that crap. Or how about GET FIVE KILLJOYS. Sure, let me just HOPE BY THE GRACE OF GOD I kill the ONE GUY on the enemy team good enough to get a killing spree... and do it five times for 250XP. Fucking blow me. <br><br>I have been playing infinite since its Open Beta Launch and I am NOW JUST ONLY GETTING TO RANK FUCKING TEN. SERIOUSLY!? Oh and because I didn't pay for the battlepass and outright refuse too, I get jackshit to show for it. FUN. You know what Battle passes are now? THE NEW ONLINE PASS essentially.
