The game, or should I say the business model, is an absolute disappointment and disaster. Disrespectful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You know you can get plenty of cosmetics for free just for playing the game (without the battle pass even) right? You do not need to buy the $15 skin packs to enjoy the game. Nor is anyone forcing you to buy them.

My character is pretty heavily customized and I haven't spent a dime on the game.

Man, I can’t even choose the exact colours I want on my spartan. Come on

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They made all of the base colors available by default though. Have you played the game anytime recently?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yay ? We used to have all the colours available and we could unlock all armour parts just by playing the game. Screw them and screw their use of toxic mechanics (mofo, etc…)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can unlock the first 20 levels of the season for free. Just for playing. Sorry, I forgot I was on Lemmy where you have to shit on Xbox even if it's not true and completely retarded.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

As long as you enjoy it mate, that’s all that matters in the end. My thoughts on the game has nothing to do with Lemmy or the fact you’re on Xbox, I couldn’t care less. Just remember back then everything was free and actually fun to unlock. If you don’t see the problem here or the massive toxicity towards players, well good for you I guess. But don’t hide your denial behind "it’s lemmy here so u shit on xbox".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Last time I played, I only got like 5 colors for 100% the game lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

You haven't played recently then. Also, "I have to unlock things by playing?!?!? IN A VIDEO GAME?!?!?" Lmao.

What's caused the resurgence? Must admit I played a lot when it was new but my interest just fell off. Guess cause of the leveling up partly. Oddly I did just play titanfall 2 online for the time in forever, heard they'd fixed the issues at last, and right enough I was in a game in under a minute. Missed it more than I realised.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

New season with content dropped.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Forge and listening to the community and what our need are

[–] JimmyChanga 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Now that sounds promising, I'll check it out today

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And they still haven’t delivered even half of what they promised when selling the game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What's missing so far? Didn't follow the release news very closely.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Couch coop is the only thing missing afaik and they axed that a while ago (even though there was a bug that would allow you to do it for a while lol). The non-battle pass progression system is pretty underwhelming as well but overall I'd say the game is complete now.

They don’t have controller or keyboard capabilities yet you have to use voice commands to play.

Apology accepted

[–] NewNewAccount 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have there been improvements to the single player?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I played it on a gamepass trial in January and single player was fun. It was a pretty basic open world experience, but I don't know what was promised or released.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it’s time to reinstall :,)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Game is the worst and kinda best. I hate it.
Play hours at 270h

But there is seriously no game that compares to it.
CoD and Battlefield are so easily copied but feel like nobody tries to do Halo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Splitgate. Portal did halo and splitgate is their offspring.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

From the first pictures it looks like a Halo 5 and Valorant

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If there was ever a game that deserved DLSS or FSR, it’s Halo Infinite. The TAA is garbage and the ray tracing isn’t worth using with the current performance hit. I don’t understand why it isn’t in the game yet.

Unrelated, did anyone else have horrible frame pacing until around season 3? The game didn’t play nice with my VRR display

[–] merthyr1831 3 points 11 months ago

FSR would immediately make this playable on Steamdeck. At least more playable than 50fps while burning through battery like it's an iphone
