PROS:
- Game play is extremely fun. I love that the physics are back and better than ever.
- Art style is beautiful. I never cared for the art changes in halo 4 & 5. Where this feels like a successor to reach's style while still having it's own.
-OG Soundtrack is BACK
- 343 has been very fast in responses to our issues so far

Cons:
-Micro-transactions suck but they're expected to be in any ftp game. The problem is the pricing. 100 = $1 and so far the cheapest item in the store this week alone was 700 credits for some banners...with the highest being 2000 credits for a couple armor pieces. No one should have to pay that much for that little. Probably Microsoft's decision. (SOLUTION: Make the most expensive items be 500 credits with everything else being cheaper than that. More incentive to actually buy from the store, making actual revenue. Because I guarantee you they're making WAYYY less right now, if not anything, with the prices being so high.)

-Battlepass lacks content. Too many bounty swaps and xp boosts. They take up HALF of the battlepass. Like really? Could've put so much more armor pieces in but nooo. Really telling how bad it is when the bots are more customized than us. (Solution: Replace the bounty swaps with actual items PLEASE. Make bounty swaps a reward for completing a certain amount of bounties. Add small credit amounts to incentivise getting our credits back, but DON'T raise the battlepass price.)

- Lack of customization for people that are playing for free. The battlepass only has a few armor pieces for people that don't wanna pay up. So much for freedom to express yourself. I get you dont need them for gameplay. But customization has been a big part of Halo since 3 with different amour pieces that were immediately available or reach a specific milestone whether its through ranking up or completing a tough challenge, NOT THRU THE PAID BATTLEPASS. (SOLUTION: Add like 3+ armor pieces for each category to make beginner players look at least a little unique from each other instead of everyone looking like clones. Reward more free pieces from the pass. Add more rewards for completing weekly bounties. One reward for like 10 bounties is not enough. Make it a milestone mechanic even. 3 bounties = small reward. 6 = medium reward. All = big reward.


Overall I love where the game right now and where its going and I can't wait to see this game grow into the halo we've all wanted since Reach. They're so close...they got the gameplay right. 343 just needs to convince Microsoft they can make money without these money issues.

**Microsoft, let 343 fix this before it's too late. I know you like money...but Jesus Christ, you're LOSING money with these decisions.**

Been enjoying the franchise since i was a little kid. Glad to see it all together on pc for once
