Yeah I don't get it either. Everyone rn is saying that Halo infinite multiplayer sucks because you "have to" pay for cosmetics or do lots of shit to progress the battlepass.
Literally all COSMETIC. Like it's not even pay to win, just play the genuinely fun multiplayer game wtf
Halo Infinite's problem isn't that there's a store where you can buy cosmetic items. It's that the game was built AROUND the store. Cosmetics took a priority over gameplay, features, etc.
What priority? Gameplay is fine to me and what missing features?
The previous Halo games prioritized features over microtransactions. There are tons of articles lamenting all the things left out of Halo Infinite e.g. https://screenrant.com/halo-infinite-launch-missing-features-forge-coop-multiplayer/
I see you were too young to have played previous Halo titles and so you immediately downvoted without giving a response. I'm sorry you're too ignorant to realize what they stole from you.
Yeah, if the game is fun then ignore the cosmetics. If you like the cosmetics enough, then buy the cosmetics. As long as gameplay elements aren’t locked behind a paywall, I see no problem.
