Maybe we could see some buffs to other weapons instead. If a map spawns a pulse carbine, a plasma pistol, a disruptor, a needler, or a ravager you can bet your ass it will always be there because absolutely nobody will touch them.

One thing I imagine might factor into their stupid decision-making here is the cost of developing new content for RDO. I don’t know how hard it is for them to port the rest of their missing single player systems to the RDO environment but just art assets alone are dramatically higher quality than GTAV. There are…

I don’t know where all the information in the article above comes from - I’m speaking in regards to filling in the blanks for what happened between Halo 5: Guardians and Halo Infinite. You might have missed elements of this if you didn’t pursue secondary objectives during the open world segment as some of the details…

Maybe we didn’t play the same game because by the time I finished the campaign I had a pretty clear picture of what happened. 

To be fair, the story of what happened in between kind of unfolds as you progress through the game.

It keeps with Halo’s time honored tradition of always having something funky going on with the faces.

I think that’s a side effect of some sort of weird motion capture issue. There were some weird bits with the Pilot and Escharum too.

I think the writing behind The Weapon and Jen Taylor’s delivery brings the campaign to a whole other level. I’m almost 30 years old. I first played Halo CE in 6th grade. It’s fair to say I’ve grown up with these characters.

I got fucking goosebumps the first time the Weapon comes on screen. The word-for-word inclusion…

Refunded this after seeing the devs idea of comedy is replacing “Whole Foods” with “Whore Foods - Good for Boners”. You can see it near the end of the drill area in the hub.

They’re going to wait months, after the holiday cash rush, to redesign the god awful economy they’ve set up, if they do at all. I cannot think of a single AAA title F2P or otherwise with a more predatory monetization scheme than this game. It makes Overwatch and Ubisoft look generous.

Can you identify a single piece of ARMOR that is included with the $60 purchase besides the default MK7 armor core?

No, you cannot, because it does not exist.

No you haven’t. There is not a single ARMOR piece. Reading comprehension is a good skill. You’ve unlocked stickers and color patterns and weapon skins. There is not a single piece of cosmetic ARMOR unlocked by the campaign.

There are many people who pre-purchased the game at $60 dollars when MP was not a free to play component. Every single previous Halo title since Halo 3 has included unlockable armor pieces for MP in the $60 purchase.

They also did posts defending the battle pass and they’ve given the gameplay glowing reviews. Nuance is possible.

Don’t forget the outright deception in their marketing prior to release, in which they stated explicitly there would be unlockable armor.

If you purchase the $60 halo infinite you do not receive access to a single piece of cosmetic armor for your purchase - a first for any Halo title. There is not a single piece of…

It might because it’s still relatively fresh in my mind but I can pretty vividly see the first squid monkey ziggurat room in my mind. It looks like it was designed to be used as a firefight arena down the line, as do a number of other spaces in the campaign.

The opening sequence on the Banished ship had big Titanfall 2…

There remains, as always, a sizable population of Halo fans and the company behind it has what we call “fuck you money”.

See again: Eternal Empire arc. It’s in a whole other galaxy if I’m not mistaken. The Sith Emperor (the amorphous being of force power ostensibly dispatched by Revan) realizes his dream of utopia is a failed experiment and decides he might as well just start over with some other humans somewhere else. It’s neat.

The closest thing we get to an Imperium that genuinely tries to be better is the Angels Resplendent on Malpertuis, but in true 40k fashion, even their attempt to imagine the Imperium as it should have been ends in tragedy. Check out The Reverie if you’re interested in it.
