Considering this is the first truly open world Halo campaign, it's a pretty safe bet that the singleplayer is at least twice the size of previous Halo games. That plus the first multiplayer battlepass included for $60 would be a good deal imo. 

I really hope you are correct and they can make good campaign. it makes sense to sell a "season pass / Battle pass" included with the "campaign".
No offensive intentions, but the Xbox team movement really looks something similar to what was done with "Black Ops 4" mixed with "Warzone". I dare say that it is a very aggressive movement, I believe that many traditional fans did not approve, but there is definitely great potential.

Why is it not a good idea? “Only getting campaign”, I mean... like most other games? Is it not a good idea for Sony to sell LoU2 with no MP for $60? Or Nintendo if Prime 4 has no MP but is still $60? As long as the SP is fully featured, anything bonus in the multiplayer is just icing on the cake.

The basis of your argument is correct. If ND can launch LoUs II without multiplayer and if Nintendo can launch "insert name" without multiplayer then why can't 343I make Halo Infinete and charge only for the Campaign?I have no objection, 343 I do have every right to launch the game in two parts, one paid (campaign) and one free (multiplayer) but still .... Pay to play only the Halo single player (and probably some extras, maybe the battlepass of the season) is strange, because Halo has always treated "multiplayer" as the "flagship", which makes the game "worth the money invested", something that is different in Sony and Nintendo games, both they usually treat Single player as the main component.

To better elaborate the feeling of strangeness of which I speak, allow me to bring an example. Suppose you go to a restaurant for lunch, and they say "here are the options for lunch", you choose and then you eat, done (this is what I feel about buying any single player game from ND and Nintendo). continuing the example, on the other day you go to a neighboring restaurant and also order lunch, but the waiter shows you the list of desserts and then says "lunch is free and you don't have to order dessert" !! You are free to disagree with me, but that is my point.



Side note: I really apologize if i have offended someone, i am not here to fuel "console war", i just want to discuss the strategic decision made by the xbox team. I also apologize for the poor English, not a native speaker.
