343, Please implement a store catalogue asap

The lack of catalogue in the store creates an artificial scarcity for items which pushes folks to buy items on impulse rather than through rational decision making. This is a definitively predatory practice, and at such outrageous prices, impulsive people will be spending 20, 60, 80, $200 each on the game within months- whether they can actually afford that or not.

Considering how much work is put into the accessibility settings, and other inclusive things like avoiding gender stereotypes in the body settings, including prosthetics, etc- I really hope that 343 will do the right thing here and provide a healthier environment for folks that may have physical reasons for poor impulse control, etc. Not to mention the sheer disparity that exists in how much folks can fully experieince the game.

I’ve got decent impulse control, but I already spent $70 on this (campaign and BP)- I absolutely can’t justify taking out $10-$20+ to be able to “make my own spartan” when EOD armor finally becomes available for a limited time. Bummer for me i guess- Honestly I can’t really justify spending any more money than the $70 I already have because I’m broke- I’m not ashamed to say it. Times are hard for a lot of us. It saddens me Halo is trying to rinse me even after I bought the battle pass in good faith (which i regret now), especially when a lot of us are struggling out here.

I’m not a fan of the store at all. The items are so limited, and the stuff that actually changes daily is constantly weak.

Prices are too high for what you get, I can’t imagine anyone really caring about the vehicle/armour/weapon emblems. They suck and the packs say 7/7 and 4 are emblems, 2 shoulders, nah the pack sucks. I’m gonna have a hard time parting with my money if they keep putting weak bundles out.

I want to spend some money on the game and have already but I’m not gonna buy stuff regularly when the bundles look like this. I’d take just more blades tbh, bot even a full catalogue as I get the rotating store is sort of the model.

I don’t think they will ever do this because they’ll end up with a lot of emblems and nameplates that will never sell or generate income

Packaging them with armor that people actually want then enables them to inflate the price as they include the undesirable stuff in a bundle

The sooner people realise this the sooner they can accept it and move on

I’ve seen several topics on here already asking for individual store items - it ain’t gonna happen

They’ve been very clever in designing the store to maximise profits

As much as I would like that white Wasp, the rest of the bundle doesn’t justify the $10, and I don’t want to buy white 8 times for all the vehicles. The store needs a whole overhaul
