Halo Infinite’s free-to-play multiplayer had a not-so-surprising launch on 15th November. As witnessed in the multiple technical previews ahead of its beta launch, Halo Infinite multiplayer<\/a> does not disappoint in the gameplay department, offering tight and precisely polished gunplay, a wide array of well thought out maps, and game modes<\/a> that both veteran and new Halo fans seem to enjoy.<\/p>\n

However, as a free-to-play AAA live service title, Halo Infinite has its own challenges to overcome, one of which is the shockingly slow-progressing Battle Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, developer 343 Industries has been quick to address and fix some of the progression issues<\/a> though some areas of the game which remain unattended needs a major overhaul before Halo Infinite’s six months long season 1 ends.<\/p>\n

The state of microtransactions in Halo Infinite<\/h2>\n

It’s no surprise that the free-to-play business model relies heavily on in-game currencies and microtransactions for revenue, and Halo Infinite wasn’t going to be any different.<\/p>\n

However, it’s the pricing of these items and the way they are being made available is leading many to question whether Halo can sustain long term as a free to play multiplayer title.<\/p>\n

In regards to the pricing of some of the cosmetic and booster packs, one disappointed fan took to Reddit<\/a> to share their opinion towards the current state of microtransactions in Halo Infinite multiplayer.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, this Reddit thread has a whopping 44,000 upvotes in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, it currently costs 1,035 USD to unlock every single item in Halo Infinite. Furthermore, these are not items that are obtainable without the premium battle pass.<\/p>\n

In fact, the battle pass for free players does not reward any armour equipment until level 21, which is a shame because progression in Halo Infinite is already quite cumbersome at the moment.<\/p>\n

Halo Infinite has a long road ahead, and developer 343 industries seem pretty adamant in listening to fan feedback and implementing those feedbacks. With the Fracture: Tenrai event<\/a> set to launch on 23rd November, Halo Infinite fans should have much to look forward to.<\/p>\n
