I appreciate when ads say "Free to Play" up front so I know not to play it. (There may be a few exceptions here and there, but as a general rule, that has served me pretty well.)

I can confirm that their battle passes and seasonal events were horribly grindy, taking many days of non-stop CPU battle matchmaking because they end faster and yield more progress than matches with human opponents. They only made it worse as the game's popularity went down. If the revamped game's battle passes aren't lenient like Halo Infinite's then this game is dead on arrival to me.
