There is a reason 343i never called the beginning test a beta before launch the used immersive lingo like “flight test” and “insiders” to make us think that the flight test WAS the Halo Infinite Beta, but now we are in an advanced beta of Halo Infinite and most of us are paying to test it via the battle pass and such. For one example the battle pass is called S 02: HEROS OF REACH its like they just polished up an idea for a future event and called it a battle pass just by adding some XP boots and challenge swaps then topping it off with some MRK VII “legendary gear” and call it good, don’t bother giving us the original armor sets of Reach or the first 11 (by this I mean the first ever armor customization from H3 EOD, EVA for example) but then Reach HAZOP comes out of nowhere AND we have to buy it in the shop?!?! I do know that we will at some point be able to earn in game points to spend at the shop but where is all the Infinite version of all these armors? I see the concept art for amazing looking new/updated armor like EOD and bulky yet smooth chest plats, knee pads, shoulder plats, arm bracers, utility gear, stuff that is dripping with that unique Halo feel and aesthetic. Are these armor components in the next season one but not battle pass? not saying the armor that is in the game at the moment looks bad though. Halo 5 armor and emblem coloring customizing problems rearing its ugly head AGAIN did 343i not hear us the first time?
At the end of the day I want armor I have history with emotional conation with in a fun and finished Halo, not make every game feel like an unfinished mess that I have to work at just to get rewords I don’t care about, because wearing armor that I’m indifferent about really makes this feel more like a job then a fun pass time with the the squad.
