the mileage in that regard varies wildly from user to user. so the fractional content argument is nonsensical and frankly irrelevant. (what % of the playerbase spends a notable chunk of time in forge anyway? id bet its not a big number.)

Again, that doesn't really matter, though. I was simply making a point -- the game is incomplete.

for what its worth, im not supporting anything. i was gonna wait until the forge update to see whether or not it was worth anyway.

Thank you.

but speaking in hyperbole isnt a good way to form a potent argument, and it can serve to mislead others who arent quite mindful enough to research for themselves just what kind of content was cut/what they can expect on release.

What do you mean?

your original comment, the 2/3 thing. what if someone read that and thought you were actually talking about reality, and then didnt bother to find out just what got cut? you need to speak in whole truths, not half truths.

I really hope no one in this thread is saying: "They always do it, so it's ok"

More like "Why is this a surprise, they always do this."

which is an equally shitty, useless thing to say

And it's useful to state that there's a season pass when any person who's heard the name "EA" knew there would be one?

I get that OP was bitching a lot anyway, but going "oh shut up about this genuine problem because you talk too much" is just stupid.

its useful to talk about the content in that pass compared to its price, giving us a metric for comparison with other passes from EA and other companies. in turn, that can stimulate discussion about patterns in corporate exploitation and what we, as consumers, can do to stop this stuff from happening.

Besides the fact that there's a lot of pressure on 343 to pull through on Halo 5, and Halo 5 being the game that could make or break the franchise at this point.

Lol.

By the time Forge comes out, the "verdict" on the future of Halo will already be decided.

But sure. No incentive.

Yeah, there isn't one.

Just like there's no incentive for developer to pull-through on DLC when you've already bought the Season's Pass.

If they had no incentive to make it good, they wouldn't have delayed it for 6 weeks to get it ready.

That's just... wanting to make a good game. Do we really have to pat these devs on the back when they do what they're supposed to?

The game is releasing pretty early for a Halo game so I don't know why they'd do that if they're not ready, also.

Because 343 didn't even develop the MCC, and because it was a complete mess, and had only a small team dedicated to pushing updates and fixes, whilst the core 343 team was already balls deep in development for Halo 5.

They flat-out said in an update that they were "putting every able body on fixing the MCC".

"Except for the majority of our team that's already balls-deep in development of our next cash cow."

Either way, they knew that MCC wouldn't be working on release and said "Fuck it" anyways. Because Halo 5 is more important.

The fact that you could LITERALLY pre-order Halo 5 BEFORE MCC speaks volumes.

your original comment, the 2/3 thing. what if someone read that and thought you were actually talking about reality, and then didnt bother to find out just what got cut? you need to speak in whole truths, not half truths.

Ah, okay. Sure, that may have been misleading.

But you cannot deny that Forge is one of the biggest parts of Halo. Top 5.

this is a halo thread though, Aria

Which I'm not even doing, tbh

Forge will probably be really good.

Alright. Do we know what's in the season pass besides the Hero game mode?

"4 expansion packs, early access to the expansions by 2 weeks, an exclusive "Shoot First" emote and the promise of more details in the coming weeks."

this is the very first thing in the OP article

Thanks Azu, I'm illiterate.

So it doesn't say what's in the expansions? How much will they be sold for individually? How many maps? Will they include new game modes as well? What about heroes? Will new game modes be limited to the maps in that pack, or will they be applicable to past and future maps?

We don't know shit, Azu. There's nothing to discuss until there's something to discuss. I'm sorry that I don't want to circlejerk with you.

you seem really flustered about this and all i can really say is that if you truly care as little as you seem to want me to think you do, why are you even bothering to post about it
