I explained DUST to them, and they said it was cool. I explained the grind as a new player, and the new player torture and they weren't interested.
"Why would I want to take 10 steps backwards to get to playing level I already am on another game?" one of them said to me.
Those kind of players seem to confuse grind with "taking 10 steps backwards". They should know better that's not the case.
I guess those kind of players just love instant-gratification and don't want to work for anything. Yes, Halo does offer leveling for things like the Suppressor Rifle, Covenant Carbine and things like that, but all of the weapons are just no more effective than the standard UNSC rifle. I have been playing Halo for years since the release of the very first iteration of it and so far I am more than capable of mopping the floor with anyone around me with just the standard rifle alone. There is no point in working for the other weapons. The armor that I unlock is purely cosmetic and they carry no benefit other than to look pretty.
But to me, the biggest stumbling block with most FPS game is the fact that my progress means nothing (no persistence) as soon as another version of the game comes out. As soon as CoD: Ghosts came out, any progress that I have made with CoD: Black Ops can't be transferred to the new version. I have to unlock the same weapons all over again. What's the point? There is no point. It's like you finally found the key to unlock the cage that you are in only to find out that you have to escape from an even bigger cage that your smaller cage was in and the key you have is useless for that bigger cage. It just goes on repeatedly after that.
Because of this, I have given up on playing anymore Halo games or any CoD games or any other game that follows this mentality for that matter. Dust so far has at least given me a breath of fresh air for once in my life. I have to work for gear that is ACTUALLY better than the standard gear that I have and my progress remains persistent in the next update no matter what. And the best part? The updates are free and no need to worry about Dust 514 II or Dust 514 III, IV, V, VI, etc.........
