Isn't even the first time 343i has blatantly lied to their playerbase. Before Halo 5 came out they were talking about how their progression for unlocks was tied to a lootbox system, and in those lootboxes were one time usable cards that allowed you to call in weapons/vehicles in the new game mode, Warzone.<br><br>The thing is, that you could pay for the lootboxes, and because the lootboxes contained usable items to give you an edge in the new game mode, people rightfully got upset about it and (correctly) labelling it as P2W.<br><br>A couple of weeks later 343i spoke about it and how they had "Looked at the issue closely and can assure fans that there's no P2W benefit to be found in-game", and revealed a trailed that painted people complaining about potential P2W features in Halo as actual lobotomites.<br><br>Game launched, Warzone, an already shitty gamemode, was bent over backwards and gimped due to people who paid for lootboxes and got overpowered weapons/item cards, because of course they did.<br><br>343i is not to be trusted, much like their namesake character.
