I am a long time halo fan, but this is disappointing. If you continue this greed you’re going to push away your consumers. Halo should have died with bungie rather than this disgrace. A season pass should at least be valid for a year after release. Can’t wait for halo 6 so you guys can move on and ruin someone else’s facorite series.

It’s just marked that way to show that a moderator has deemed it worthy (or unworthy) of being moderated
343 are literally just milking it and screwing season pass owners who were promised ALL future dlcs. Sorry but this is some Betty Crocker -Yoink- right here.
Looks like they are trying to deter people from looking at it. What have we become…
Ya it’s disappointing, the direction company’s are headed. Too bad people will never boycott it.
i just find it funny how 20 USD to CAN is 24.96 yet i had to pay 29.36??? where is the extra cost coming from??? o right no where at all just pure greed -_-
while i did find it quite good, what you get for the money is unreal in how crap content wise it is. super expensive and very short.

Microsoft decides international prices, not 343
Why the hell is this thread still alive. Do you guys really think complaining about this is gonna change anything. If you think ATN is worth it than buy it. 20 bucks is nothing as long as it will last you a while. I bought it because I am a huge fan of HW2 and play it frequently. Watch videos on Youtube that showcase the new leaders and gamemodes. If you don’t think its worth it than don’t buy it. You got over 20$ of content with the season pass so why were you all so sure this was going to be included. Blur Studios (the company behind the gorgeous cinematics) are extremely expensive so 343i needed some way of gaining money back from that.
Long story short, I think it’s worth it so I bought it. If you don’t think its worth it than don’t buy it. I understand many of you don’t own or want to use 20 more dollars on a game you’ve already paid for so don’t mistake me for a quote on quote “343 fanboy”, rather a big fan of HW 2. Its quite sad how long this thread has lasted. So buy it or don’t buy it and please move on, complaining won’t change anything
PS, I believe the extra costs for ATN in other countries is a glitch in Xbox store but don’t quote me on that. If it is really Microsoft scamming you than that really is terrible and should be addressed in another thread (which I encourage someone to make). That is all have to say.

Issue with regional pricing is known and is in the process of being resolved by Microsoft Support. Keep an eye on the forums here over soon for more details on that.
I bought the ultimate addiction of this game which includes the season pass it was either 90 or 100 dollars I can’t remember. The whole point of a season pass is to get all the expansions so it should stay before purchase that it won’t include all expansions. CDPR is the best example of how to sell add ons and expansions. The add one were free and the two expansions are included on the season pass which was I believe 30 or 35 dollars and it had a -Yoink- ton of gameplay.
Somehow I missed that ATM wasn’t included in the season pass when they announced it. So now I’m here. To the people saying omg why won’t this thread just die?? Well sorry friends I payed for ALL the dlc with my ULTIMATE edition!!! This is completely unfair and highway robbery tbh. They gave us 2 missions with their “season pass” and the two missions wasn’t even that fun. Not that fun is a requirement here… But I’d say getting what I freaking paid for is!! I echo other people in saying 343i your the new EA! I was mad at your crappy Halo 5 launch I couldn’t even play, and now you want to charge me another $20 for DLC I already paid for with my $100 ultimate edition. Yeah I don’t think so. I went so far as to go to Microsoft support over this, and they said they feel for me! Going so far as to let me purchase ATM and then refunding it right away while keeping it. Which they shouldn’t even have to do! Seriously wake up and smell the fact you’re slapping your best and most supportive customers in the face with this! Not that you care because now it’s out already couple days and nothing has changed price wise. Definitely NOT buying anymore ULTIMATE editons from you, because ultimately you don’t care about gamers, just your pockets.

In the Ultimate Edition it said it provided the season pass, which does not include ATN. Not saying it’s right/wrong that the SP didn’t include ATN, just saying you aren’t entitled to receive “what you paid for” when you never paid for it.
It’s the publisher that makes these decisions, not the developer. 343 works on a contract basis with Microsoft. Meaning 343 gets paid a flat amount and Microsoft receives all of the money from the sales of Halo Wars, Blitz packs, and ATN. So really if you should be mad at anyone it should be Microsoft deciding these prices.
Though I do find it interesting they gave you ATN. I’d love to talk to that guy every time I have an issue.

Yeah this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a game that sold me a season pass that didn’t actually include all the DLC… how misleading can they be? It hasn’t even been a full year since release. Don’t defend them haha! I paid for ALL the DLC with season pass, not just DLC they think should be included in it. Apparently Microsoft support agreed with me.

If you read the season pass description it does not say all of the DLC, just the DLC over a 6 month period

The season pass should have stated that a major campaign expansion would be sold seperate to the season pass. Most people bought the pass thinking they would get an expansion (im talking about pre orders, as the preorder description said expansion). If 343 simply said this, it would have avoided all this confusion.
I feel like I am repeating myself but its just another marketing mistake. That, or they didn’t say it on purpose knowing that season pass/ult ed sales would drop massively due to everyone knowing it wont include the one and only expansion.

And this Cow has been milked to a dried out, shrunken mess, ‘dude’.
This is the main thread with others getting locked (rightfully so)
This is a marketing mistake that keeps getting worse (my ultimate edition no longer exists on the MS store?). The horse may be a bloody red mess but I am not done yet.

I agree it is a marketing mistake, but ske7ch has shared publicly that the team had no idea if they were going to get a green light for ATN. Probably why it wasn’t mentioned prior to it’s announcement.
