Yes there is plenty of content even if you don't buy the season pass. Quality campaign, many versus modes, horde and even co-op versus. Arcade campaign they definitely should have added, I think that was the reason why Gears 3 was top 10 most played games for so long time. I think it had 10,000+ people playing at any time even a year after release. Some old modes are missing, that's quite undestandable, but there's Dodgeball and Arms race instead.
Season pass is a funny one yeah. Well you get a starter airdrop (worth 20$), skins you get are nice and I really appreciate the developer playlist for new maps but I think it should include more. They've said they will add content for season pass owners though. Maps for private play is good for serious horde players.
I think their microtransactions system was fine until UIR packs. I mean, you could play any mode you want and get coins to open packs, then scrap what you don't need and use it for horde skills and skins you prefer. Those 400 coin packs for 10 year anniversary and Gearsmas were generous, offered you a good chunk of scrap for little amount of coins. They dropped the ball with UIR packs though, since you can't craft those skins and packs are expensive and not permanent.
