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

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
They made all of the base colors available by default though. Have you played the game anytime recently?
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…)
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.
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".
Last time I played, I only got like 5 colors for 100% the game lol
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.
New season with content dropped.
Forge and listening to the community and what our need are
Now that sounds promising, I'll check it out today
Do it!
And they still haven’t delivered even half of what they promised when selling the game.
What's missing so far? Didn't follow the release news very closely.
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.
Sorry? Voice commands?
Apology accepted
Quick question: what the fuck are you talking about? Maybe I'm missing something and you can educate me, I play on PC, where I can use either controller or M&K, and there's no voice commands to do anything whatsoever.
Have there been improvements to the single player?
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.
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
FSR would immediately make this playable on Steamdeck. At least more playable than 50fps while burning through battery like it's an iphone
Maybe it’s time to reinstall :,)
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.
Splitgate. Portal did halo and splitgate is their offspring.
From the first pictures it looks like a Halo 5 and Valorant
Splitgate was absolutely amazing and I loved it, then out of the blue it stopped working on my PC one day, when I searched around I found dozens if not a hundred users posting exactly what issue I had, but the company just ignored every single one of us. I try and load it up at least once a year to see if they fixed it and nope, no change.
I really can't wrap my head around it, you're potentially missing out on hundreds of players and you as a company just... Don't care? I see this more often than I can understand, why do companies not try to tackle issues that prevent large groups of people from enjoying your product? That's potential revenue streams that you're just pissing right into instead of trying to gain from.
What changed? I played it a bit when it first came out for free to play poor people like me, but it felt really dead and there was no community feel to it or friendly banter between players, just loooooooong queue times and short quiet matches. Anyone who plays it a lot, what's changed in the last year or so?
