Do you play outside of doing your weeklies and for cosmetics unlocks? Answer honestly, if so, how much?
The point is that you can simply go in and play whatever modes you want and so long as Halo is a game you enjoy playing regularly, you'll trip over the 100 tiers without any thought, effort, or deviation from your normal activities.
The point is that I wasn't talking about that lol, as I've already stated.
Yeah, miss me with the "Defense Mode" bullshit. I have a ton of criticism of the game myself, which you'd know if you're making presumptuous statements about me.

Oh snap.
They're likely not getting rid of it. They use those mode challenges to get people to try things outside of their wheelhouse and incentivize that decision with some skins or banners or whatever. Like how do we get people to play Rumble Pit? Throw a green and gold skin at the end of ten tiers and have it Rumble Pit related. Maybe people like it, maybe they don't. If they can't live without the skin, they'll grind it out.
Separate event challenges from normal season challenges then. Point being let me play the game how I want to doing what's fun for me. If a mode is fun without you forcing it people will play it.
If I'm reading this correctly I must be confused because I thought it was always three challenges and a premium unlock. I can't go back to check because I never paid for the first season but completed it and it won't let me change back
Halo Infinite Locks Season 1 Challenge Slot Unless You Buy Season 2 Battle Pass
The battle pass is for Season 2, but not owning it has consequences on Season 1 progression.www.gamespot.com
There's always a group of people who will spend any amount of money to skip instantly. Back when I was big on Warzone I'd watch streamers and on Day 1 of the Battle Pass they'd always just buy the whole thing outright and get it over with. I speculate that were it possible, I could probably make like $500-1,000 selling my Forza Horizon 5 file. There's always people out there with "fuck it, I don't want to wait or put effort into this" money.
I guess the problem is if you bought s1 and want to finish it you only get 3 instead of 4 like before s2 started. And you need s2 to unlock the 4th even when just working on s1
I hear ya, and it's nice you have a positive mentality towards it as someone who mostly sticks to one playlist. Probably not the case for most people who tend to stick to one playlist tho, I'd guess.
I feel like people forget its 6 months long lol. There's PLENTY of time especially with them giving everyone 5 2XP boosts rn for the server issues
In a month, we'll start seeing the common complaint that now that the Battle Pass is complete, there's "nothing to work towards".
I don't know, you do a lot of backflips in your defense of 343. That's not an attack on you, just an observation, so I hope you don't take it as such. Just look at our interaction now, I clearly said I wasn't talking about the battle pass in the post before you jumped in, but you just had to defend 343 from that single post without context to the conversation.
For sure, I get that. But once that carrot is gone, people will be freed of their "obligations" and can just play whatever mode brings them happiness and fun.
I have no ties to 343 and no personal care for 343. It's a company that made Halo Infinite and I'm critical of a lot of things within their product that I want to see improved. I think that the constant downward drain swirl of complaining about literally anything is exhausting as hell and if I'm a voice of the contrary in that, it's because it's like, damn, can we at least try to be a little different from the Halo community at large?
I am not worried about completing the pass it's about having fun doing it and right now it's not fun. It gets in the way of fun for me
These are all design flaws of the game. Like you can have a battle pass and a rank progression system too. Call of Duty does it. Hell you could even treat the armor cores like operators if you wanted. This barebones stuff is their fault.
Maybe you should question the emotion behind this statement -- because it's not true at all. You only see the complaints, but there is still a lot of love in the community, especially from the MOUNTAINS of goodwill 343 had going into Infinite.
This doesn't sound healthy. Why can't you ignore it or not constantly engage in these discussions? You don't have to be that guy.
You're just one person, you're not going to change anything, nor should you because the community rightfully has a lot to be frustrated over. You're just giving yourself headaches lol.
Because some of them are obvious exploits that can give players an advantage. One symuch example even 343i themselves gave gives you quicker access to a powerup than the other team.
The thing is that the example isn't even a good one.
It's a bottom tier community, to be honest. Evidenced by the subreddit getting shut down and 343 making an announcement today at 5pm on a Friday to lessen instantaneous blowback. And the reason I engage is because I want to discuss the game and I am (perhaps ignorantly) hopeful to see something different on Era than what I see everywhere else. And you're right, it IS exhausting. I'm at the point where I'm just ready to lean into the negative wave and to let it take over. It's probably just easier that way overall, so I think the next time there's significant 343 news I'll source some pros on Twitter, some folks on Reddit, and just throw on a cynical lens and have a better time lol. And I'm not even kidding, either. There's stuff I'm critical of the game, and so that'll be my vibe as it should be easier to not highlight anything positive haha.
Also hasn't moved up on Xbox US chart. They really need to hope that this is the last 6-month season, and they can get most of the game patched up and optimized before a season 3 re-release.
New season didn't bring much people back. CSGO has 45 times more players on right now.
I hear ya man, the Halo community is both bottom and top tier imo; it's quite the dynamic lol.
To be fair, you can also run CSGO on a potato. Still, they've got a LOT of work to do. I still say make Forge the #1 priority (release before Sep if you can). Get rid of challenges or implement a system where people can progress in whatever mode they want. Give us more maps. They do those things, and the game will be just fine in the short and medium term for the arena side. A true BR without any BS will help the game in the long term.

I don't think this should be surprising.

I mean after they announced what was and wasn't coming in Season 2 it was never gonna be the resurgence they wanted. They better get their shit together for season 3. Lord help them if they don't.
