Hopefully Gold is going away as I predicted a year ago. The only problem with that is that some people who paid extra 5$ for GPU just to play online on a console won't be satisfied by that move. If I were MS I would give some extra months for those who never used GamePass on PC with Ultimate status just to keep them satisfied.

I like the Battletoads art style during gameplay scenes. However, it doesn't transfer that well into the cutscenes.

Well one positive from the lower fidelity = 120 FPS. That’s some buttery smooth multiplayer!

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It sounds like Gold being dropped in favor of free multiplayer and Halo having F2P multiplayer are designed to work in conjuction. They want to have a massive multiplayer playerbase for Halo, and feel like Gold and paid/Gamepass Halo MP would get in the way of that. They want Halo to compete with the top shooters on the market in terms of playerbase, which are mainly F2P games, like Fortnite, CoD Warzone, and Apex (only CoD paid non battle royale modes and Rainbow Six Siege are pay to play games out of the top 5 shooters on the market).

I am guessing we will get a Battle Pass type system where people pay $10 for a season and as they play they gain experience and level up to unlock cosmetics and in-game currency.

Most likely yes. But I wonder if this is yet another sign of gold going away. Otherwise, what's the point of making such a big deal out of Halo MP being "free-to-play" if Xbox users still have to pay for Gold to access it.

Wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a Craig mission in the game.

Jez said he thinks definitely Microsoft is bidding on WB Games, he says he has pretty decent information that Microsoft is in the running to get that studio but there's a lot of complexities to the deal because of the IP/Ownership - Do they cover streaming also? Factors might stop the deal.

About 1hr 10mins in.

EA vs. MS let's go
