This game sounds shittier and shittier every announcement. I don’t pay a lot of attention to halo, so correct me if I’m wrong:

• multiplayer armor colors cost money
• campaign in three months
• forge in six months
• no split screen or coop
• no per match xp

Just keeps sounding worse and worse. I know multiplayer is going to be free, so they’re really pumping it full of microtransactions and mechanics that encourage microtransactions.

Here’s my guess for the game launch: multiplayer will have good gameplay, attract some new players, but older players won’t be happy with the poor xp and armor colors stuff and anything else we don’t know yet. Multiplayer will be economically successful and overall fun. I think campaign will be shit. I think they’re trying to turn halo into the next apex or fortnite or whatever, since it’s a free to play multiplayer, and to do that they need to encourage microtransactions, as well as put a lot of time into multiplayer to ensure that it’s popular.

So I think campaign will suffer from a lack of dev time. We’ll see though.
