Spartan Assault = Ripoff

You just get lolXP for Halo 4. You can get an Emblem and a weapon skin for Halo 4, but you need to buy the Champions Bundle to use them.

    • Halo: Spartan Assault is a pretty fun game. Mind you, I've only played it for a couple hours but I'm enjoying it quite a bit. :-)

      I don't like the art style. It looks ripped off the Clone Wars cartoon.

    • Not exactly a ripoff just because of a weapon skin and emblem.

    • [quote]You just get lolXP for Halo 4. You can get an Emblem and a weapon skin for Halo 4, but you need to buy the Champions Bundle to use them.[/quote] Of course it´s a ripoff if you´re buying it only for additions to Halo 4. The price of the game justifies the type of game it is and fow what system it is. Are you literally 12 years old or something? Only caring about XP an emblem and a weapon skin?

    • Its basically Halo Wars except it has to do with the UNSC Infinity/Master Chief story. In other words (If you can't tell my 5th grade typing): It's a 3rd person shooter (like Halo wars) and it takes place between Halo's 3 and 4. Still looks crappy but I will just have to see once I get it for X360 and/or XB1.

        Although Spartan Assault is a somewhat fun game for short sessions. It feels like a complete rip-off. Seeing some of the weapons/abilities locked behind a paywall is disgusting. Especially with the price tag it carries, and the one time use of the items. Seriously who thought it was a good idea to make micro-transactions "consumable" O_o Personal note: MS get working on cross-buy support. It's really annoying that I'm not even getting a single cent discount if I want to buy the console version, after buying both the WP8 and W8 versions.

      • It's an actually fun game, but it really depends on what system you get it for. I got it for my Windows 8 Phone, got to Operation D, and kind-of got sick of the controls (I naturally hate phone games, anyways). With Spartan Assault on it's way to the Xbox One, however, an experience more opted for the hardcore is going to be available (ie Co-Op mode, and having a controller in your hands rather than touch-screen play). You should try and get into it on the Xbox One, and look past the Halo 4 rewards. If all you're getting is JUST a stance and weapon skin, you'd be smart to recognize that the game isn't JUST for those rewards.

          I've always thought of Spartan Assault as a game created for the sole purpose to help sell Windows 8, since it wasn't for the Xbox LIVE arcade. Not wasting my money.

            • And on top of that you actually have to pay for the rocket launcher and spartan laser. It's really sad to see microtransactions finally make it into Halo.
