Explanation needed

I make this thread in hopes that 343 and/or associated Halo Waypoint staff see this and will offer an ease to the confusion.

Namely, pre-order bonuses.

Will said pre-orders be timed exclusives? Early access? Entirely unique items unavailable to those of us who didn’t/couldn’t get them? Paid DLC later on? (Please God, no.)

What is going on with all of this?

I sincerely hope 343 isn’t going the way of Gears of War 3 with their skins, selling them on the Xbox LIVE marketplace.

I find it very odd that they would choose to show off all of these armors, emblems, and skins without first explaining how the system even works.

So, yeah. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated, I suspect, by the entire community.
