I have a 152 in H5, got it a long time ago, and I don’t even know if I have whatever it is you are supposed to get in Infinite. But it shouldn’t surprise you it’s not all that special as we were told that it was only a “small token” of appreciation. 343 has never done to well with unlockables via gameplay. They usually just end up making them available to every one in some sort of way… Happened with Helioskrill armor and sticker shock weapon skins. They would rather players unlock cosmetics with money than actual gameplay… The days of completing a tough achievement or game play to unlock a cool cosmetics to make you stand out a bit is long gone.

Probably exactly how i felt. Im Inheritor 3xs over.
Thats why I was advocating for something for them too, for years. Stats, banner, armour pieces.
This is different though. We just got screwed.
Shown one thing, given another.
Just when I thought 343 has SOME soul, they pull this.
They had a year plus to do this right.
How could they mess this up…
What, did an in house hcs pro like the 152 armour?

I couldn’t grind out 3,000+ more games. 149 was the highest I could go and I still needed millions of XP to reach 150.

To everyone who got the 152 armor coating I’m not 152 but I know how that feels for 343 to do.
This isn’t the first time 343 did something like this they did it with the Helioskrill armor, on mcc if you beat CE, 2, 3 and 4 on Legendary you received Helioskrill armor for Halo 5 then they later dropped 2 variants of the Helioskrill armor with different stripe designs and locked it behind the gold req packs.
That accomplishment for the armor was gone knowing people could buy it from gold req packs. Was very annoyed with 343 and now they do this to the people who spent hours upon hours of time to get the watchdog coatings. To release a clone of it behind twitch drops.
That wasn’t right for 343 to do for both the Helioskrill and now the watchdog coatings.
They said they wouldn’t repeat the misatkes of halo 5 and they do this too for infinite.

Wth man??!?
What’s up with this??
This is some grade A bull buddy of I’ve ever saw it.
It even shows that the coating hexagons that describe the coatings are meaningless. The HSC coating are identical to the watchdog coatings, but the hexagons are completely different.
Do you actually have employees or is it 3 guys in a closet over there just reusing stuff that was made 3 years ago.???
- and now I’ll add blue to it and they won’t even notice…

This is just distasteful to treat your diehard fans like this 343i. Why can’t you just keep things exclusive that are supposed to be a huge challenge to get.
Like they should have at least given us the haunted helmet (pilot helmet with skull in it) to make us stand out. Like ppl should be like (wow, how did he get that?). Not “oh he probably got that from a promotion”.
It’s just a huge slap in the face for the fans that kept halo 5 alive

You have made some excellent points.

Why would they actually give you unique rewards that could be better put to use in the store? Silly you

TBH I kind of wanted the Emblem. Really badly. 
I don’t know how much grind people put in to get 152. I got to 147 I think and I must have put some disgusting hours into that.
I ve just tuned onto the Twitch HCS thing on my Xbox. Do I just need to put it on for a few hours? I am assuming I am logged on because I am on Xbox live using the app?
It needs to be on twitch and you need to have your twitch linked on waypoint to your infinite account. After 1 hour you can claim the AR skin, after another hour you can claim the magnum skin then after a 3rd hour you can claim the BR skin.
At this point Id take MOJANG to make a new halo fps.
Its like mr.magoo runnin around giving orders at i343

What does this have to do with Infinite?
Game Pass green coatings being clones of the Razer poison promo coatings Round 2. Way to be disingenuous 343. They said anything that you earn or get in a promo will not be able to be purchased in the store, they said nothing about Game Pass and Twitch drops clones

If you want the weapon skin in Infinite for getting to 152 in H5 all you really have to do is link your account to twitch and have a device streaming the HCS Infinite event and you will get a skin very similar to the SR152 skin.

Yup bare minimum and go for the free stuff only, don’t even buy stuff cus the price may change or they might give out something similar to what you bought for free.
I mean some people bought generic red, aka Scarlet wake.
And there is like another red that’s similar to it for free
Right that’s why I love my Nerf AR skin, so far they haven’t replicated it
The main thing about that though, is the Campaign playthrough is actually fun. Unlike Halo 5, that godforsaken piece of, every single game I hated, I droned my way through to 152 for the reward, my own stupidity, I admit, thinking my mouth wouldn’t be jerked open, and warm waste material shoved down my throat, as the small token I’m awarded reached my stomach. The small token we can now all have, yayyyyyyy… I give it a A+, thanks for the reward, after never deserting the franchise, and staying loyal.
I swear to the guardians, it’s like they purposely hate us, and are trying to ostracize those that kept Halo on the map for 20 years.
Literally everything, if you did the 152 grind.
Quick, 2 people say you want the Nerf Skin, and rest assured, it’ll be in the store in 5 minutes. The whole team will drop everything, to get that clone out in a heartbeat.

I’m glad you like it, the great majority of people didn’t like it as the 152 reward in Halo 5, thus in great knowledge, and loving respectful intentions, why not make it the reward in Infinite, because you know, the second time is the charm 
…
I haven’t played since December, I haven’t uninstalled it yet, as I paid full price for Infinite. I don’t regret that, but that being said, know this.
That was my last 60.00 I’ll spend, my right hand to the guardians. This coming from someone who has spent a amount on Halo that is shameful to think about 
, anyways.
No more Halo figures, Halo collector items, or merch of any kind. No talking to everyone into gaming I know, about how great Halo is, and trying, no begging them to play with me. No more supporting 343i paychecks, when they literally could care less, unless it’s short term players, then drop everything to fan their faces with Rare Bird feathers, and roll out the red carpet for them. If you are a Halo diehard, you’re a doormat. Case in point, on the old waypoint, you give any negativety, no matter how constructive, banned.
Now guardians forbid any of our issues are the slightest bit addressed, but believe your comments will be hidden in 5 mins flat, with a possible temporary ban. That makes one very weary to post anything with any sincerety in the slightest.
Now I haven’t cursed, or said anything threatening, you have to really think out responses, so the banhammer don’t strike. Which I’m sure if there’s a will, there’s a way…

Naw man it has to be a minimum of 5 people and they each have to show they have purchased at least one generic color like default red from the store.
And have no post having any criticism of Halo Infinite lol.
