COD is COD, nothing really new and the same players will be playing regardless. Impo, the new Halo has been looking ROUGH since it was announced so I'm not at all worried about it being 'competition'.
2042 itself can be whatever but I'm really hoping they knock Portal out of the park
@TTZ_Dipsy I'm a Halo player and while Halo 5 was almost universally reviled (I'm seeing a pattern with games having 5 in the title) the Halo Infinite "Flights" (play tests) have been been well received and the multiplayer is looking solid so I'm still excited for Halo. The devs are also listening to the long time players unlike in Halo 4/5 which is a positive change. I'm not excited for the multiplayer to be F2P in Halo but I'll have to see how aggressive the monetization is as well as the AC impact. I'm hearing reports from the COD beta that it's really rough and I'm baffled by the no factions thing in a WWII shooter.
I'm super excited for Portal and think it will basically be the main game for many.
@ragnarok013 No sound in the beta and bad visibility like in recent games... They have alot to fix but with no more tests its blind faith on Sledgehammer to fix these... MTX in Halo As far as I know there is a Battlepass but it doesn't expire or have a time limit, can't buy stuff direct(might have changed)
Hehehe insert BF2042 as no factions either lol its away to sell more skins, ATM in Coldwar there are two sides so 50% of the time you don't get the skin you wanted. (in a FPS game mind you)
Portal is what might draw me, if they not just treated like private match's where nothing counts, if that happens I'd say it will die off quickly.

@1Hairy-Gorilla I share your sentiments on both Halo and Battlefield. One thing that I like in Halo's Battlepass system is that they are permanent since the MCC and it's a solid system too. Permanent Battlepasses solve the majority of my woes with that system (but not all) so I hope 2042 has permanent Battlepasses too and not the limited time nonsense like we had in BF5.
Portal will have to allow progression or it's DOA for the same reasons nobody plays unranked servers in previous titles - nobody likes to waste their time when they have to complete a Battlepass.
