This... Is such a unfortunate situation. While i'd like to clear a that I played this game (including the campaign) through the Xbox Game Pass, leaving me with little hours on Steam.

343 was handed one of the best opportunities in gaming history in 2012, and has continued to fumble over themselves ever since.
Halo's multiplayer was build on a pillar of community and player freedom, incorporating a golden triangle of combat that made each match a thrilling and fun experience.
Firstly, Halo Infinite's cosmetic system is atrocious, having to pay for colors and standard armor sets is unacceptable. I understand that this game is what 343 considers "live service", but absurd prices for colors and armors that I had access to for free over 10 years ago.
Secondly, and one of my biggest issues with Halo Infinite, is the major lack of content. The weapon sandbox is surprisingly poor, having something along the lines of ~13 weapons with ~8 hardly being seen, and an even worse vehicle sandbox. A minuscule amount of maps and game modes amplifies this issue. If 343 intends to "drip feed" content to the community, this game will end up like Halo 4's Spartan Ops, dead in the water and not worth continuing.
Lastly, the progression is practically non existent. That's it, by the time you unlock everything you have a few "colors" and maybe, 4 FULL sets of armor, if that.

I would've rather waited 5 more years, and paid FULL PRICE, for a quality game... I want Halo back, but I suppose I'll just go play MCC....
I'm not mad... Just disappointed in you 343, I'm disappointed.
