To be honest I don’t personally have a problem with that.

I imagine alot of the content is not going to be released until the full game, it is only a beta after all
I’ve said this before but it’s 2021. We should be able to customize are Spartan nips at this point. No wait 9 years for 343 to finally give us any real customization. Even not real customisation because it’s all locked behind a grind paywall. Or you can spend $20 on the color white that you can only use on a certain armored core. I’m curious if 343 actually put into any work for new armor. Yeah the samurai armour is cool but… I have a sneaky suspicion when season two gets here in May it’s going to be Halo 3 armor in the pass.
What beta lets you unlock achievements? What beta lets you purchase items with real money. 343 can call this a beta but this is the full game that was going to be released on December 8th. The betas was back in August. The reason why they’re calling it a beta is because of legal reasons. Because that’s when they said it’s going to be released on December 8th. I’m really glad and they had the presence of mind to go ahead and release it early so they can get a head start on all the stuff they need to fix even though they had a beta back in August. And we brought up the battle pass situation back in August.
The game got released early as a beta, and paid COSMETIC content will be in games until the end of time, especially games that are free. If you don’t like the paid content you don’t have to partake in it. If you hate the game so much then don’t play it. We will have fun with the game we enjoy.

Agreed! when you look at the value of Infinite vs. Reach it’s ridiculous… people love to mention inflation but $60 in 2010 would be $75 in 2021. Today you could pay $60 for the campaign and $10 for just the first battle pass and Reach would still beat it in every way.
Reach:
Serious campaign
co-op
forge
exp+progression system
lots of customization
Infinite:
goofy campaign
no co-op
no forge
terrible progression system
Even with paid battle pass, less customization options than Reach launched with.

I can obviously tell you haven’t played Halo very long. The core gameplay is fun. Or maybe you work for 343 and you’re perfectly content and happy with the predatory monetization of the cosmetics. Just so you can get your bearings it’s been nine years since Halo 4. You couldn’t really customized except for preset armors. Halo 5 you could do the helmet and body. 11 years ago is what we get now. That Bungie did it in reach. But you have fun doing those challenges like I don’t know get 15 enemies in a threat sensor and see how that works out for your progression and customisation. See how much fun you’re having when your teammates quit because it’s not the game they need for their challenge because they want that new shiny helmet.
Paid content will continue to be further and further pushed on you with an attitude like that. This is content that for the last 20 years has been free aside from buying the game, long term how much money would a collecter have to spend to get every set?? 3000$? 4000$ this game is the last halo for 10 years, people want a system that rewards the player for playing not paying
Yes because we all really want the opportunity to spend $20 on the color white…
I’d legit shell out 120$ bucks for this game day 1 if it meant 343 removed ALL microtransaction from the game permanently.

Like I said I feel like it’s only going to get worse. They’re already selling helmets for a thousand credits that you can unlock in the battle pass. I don’t see why they couldn’t take 10 pieces from Halo 3 and 10 pieces from reach and maybe a few chess pieces from Halo 4 and their helmets. And go ahead and put it in the game and lock it behind the achievements that they’re obviously giving away like Candy by just watching a film or putting a sword in the back of a razorback. I know we’re going to get season passes in Halo 3 armor and then season 3 of Halo 4 armor and then season 5 and Halo 5 armor and you’re going to have to pay for it.
343 is going to get waaaaaayyyy more money out of this system. So no, I’m afraid not.
Oh most definitely, they want that Apex call of duty money no doubt. But this has to be the worst predatory monetization I’ve ever seen. Basically only given us like four color options is straight-up insulting. What’s even more insulting is basically giving us the same armor that we had 11 years ago and making us pay for it.
Oh, I forgot to ask. Large pepperoni and cold outside?
Lol the game/game company is INSULTING you…I’m sorry but really
Just the pizza this time
Yeah kid it’s very disappointing after you know 20 years. You would think after all the failures of EA’s predatory monetization you would think Microsoft would have learned something. Or after all the bad faith after Halo 5 crappie campaign and false advertisement. That they would try and earn some Goodwill towards the players. And go just that extra mile. I wish I could be more like you with their boot on the back of my neck saying thank You papi can I have another. 
But each their own I guess. Some people like the abuse some people stand up to it. I would imagine if it was up to you. With the current state of the game it’s fine as it is and they don’t need to do anything but collect their money that I’m sure you’re obviously going to pay them and you’re going to be very happy no matter what they give you.
I don’t know who “Papi” is? Sounds like a personal life issue you’ve already had. But I’m not spending my time on these forums complaining about things they already said they are fixing when I can enjoy the game. Tell “Papi” not to push you so hard next time k? Have a nice day.
Does everything go over your head?? It should have never been a problem to fix to begin with. They made the conscious decision to go this route. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for you to comprehend. Not only that like I said we brought up all these issues back in August. And nothing has changed. Oh yeah they said that they’re going to fix it when they get around to it. Which may end up being after May 2nd of 2022. Now we can scratch two brain cells together and can come to the conclusion that is not good for the health and longevity of the game.
