The holidays are back, which means we’re facing a lull of Halo news, but the never ending controversy behind micro-transactions has reared its head again after an announcement from EA regarding Star Wars Battlefront II. It’s very evident that within the video game market, a lot of sustainability and longevity of games are coming in the form of micro-transactions and that is true Halo as well. We’ve seen it in Halo: Spartan Assault, Halo: Spartan Strike, and Halo 5: Guardians. While we anticipate the trend to continue, it’s good to analyze what’s out there and what we feel as Halo fans is acceptable and desirable for future Halo titles.
