The MK. V is a paid core, it would be pretty deceiving for the free players," Hey, here’s some free MK. V armor, but only if you bought S1"
I mean is every marine a hero or are only some?

Hazop wasn’t marine armor lol
Now Military Police was.
I meant as in marine, soldier, police- These heroes or nah? I’m just arguing semantics here but. I’d consider that class of people ‘heroes’, specially in a fiction where a planet gets invaded 
That is infact, what I assumed initially, but now I guess they meant Reach as in the game and not the planet. Ooooor some spartans are heroes while the others aren’t. Either way, tomato potato.

Oh don’t worry I’m arguing semantics too. And besides like I said there’s stuff that made it in that has absolutely nothing to do with anything Reach related.
I’d hardly consider the Spartans in Lone Wolf (level) to be heroes. About all they did was drop weapons so I could go up against one extra wave for all I know.

Shoot, the ‘Lone Wolves’ title of this pass just reminds me that I’m gonna be leveling the pass alone since my friends uninstalled XD

that would be wonderful! a shame 343 doesn’t care and will add the rest in the shop for 10 bucks. because themed things being tied together just makes no sense apparently

Haha, “free” mini battle pass.
One could argue Noble 6 if you chose to wear hazop as your armor… But even if you don’t wanna count that, how does that logic apply to the literal armor of the main spartans the season was focused on? Emile, Carter and Jorge, all have shoulders that were slated to be sold in the shop for $20. In fact BOTH of Emile’s shoulders were made to be shop items, and one of them actually appeared in the shop.

Ah yes it makes so much more sense for them to say to those free players “hey spend money and buy this armor that you still can’t even use because you didn’t also buy the pass!”
If anything, them giving free armor for the core now, will give incentive to people to go back and buy that core after the fact, because they’ll go “Oh cool this old core just got some new content making it more worth it!”.

Um, yeah, it does.
Did you miss the fact that they’re “free” players? They aren’t spending money
By the logic that any armor the player equipped would be what Noble 6 wore sure, but an actual interesting little tidbit about Noble 6 is that their actual canonical armor was the MKV(b). Some sources say that it includes the UA attachment and others suggest it includes the shoulder plates (both based on promo images), and yet other promo images share lore of N6 requisitioning a Recon helmet.
Slated sure, and the models exist as such but only Emile’s “Base Security” and the attachment have actually been sold so far, so let’s use what we know as opposed to what’s been speculated.
Again speculation based on models in the game’s files, the only validation that can be gleaned is that “Base Security” and the attachment have been sold, whereas the actual Security (with or without knife) have not been sold yet with no official confirmation that they are in game.
I will concede that this set is one that could’ve been included in the battlepass, but it’s a single example against 65, and I’m still unsure what this has to do with Hazop?
So you’re saying it makes sense to have them spend money on something they can’t use? Because that’s what you just said. If you actually think that makes more sense, you’re hopeless. If you buy hazop for instance, from the shop, making you someone who HAS spent money, you still can’t even use that armor, unless you then spend MORE money to buy the battle pass and get the core. Meaning in order to use hazop, you need to spend a minimum of $20-ish bucks to wear 1 set of armor. That’s beyond dumb.

What do you mean no official confirmation that they are in the game? We’ve seen them in the game, in numerous forms via bots. We do in fact no they are in the game in a functional capacity, due to that, and as for the appearance of those items in the shop, that information was pulled directly from the game files, so again, we KNOW they intended to sell those other armor items in the store. If they didn’t they wouldn’t have been in the store files.
But again, if you really wanna be that obstinate about it, you still have no valid response or excuse to base security being sold in the store, which invalidated your thought process in your previous comment, because even those heroes of reach didn’t have their armor in the pass, and it was being sold for extra via the store.

They’re the ones choosing to spend money on something that they didn’t look into.
It literally tells you what core it goes on, so if they bought something they can’t use, that’s on them.
What do you even mean? There’s nothing TO look in to? It doesn’t state ANYWHERE, in no uncertain terms, that if you buy that item/bundle from the shop you cannot use it. Hell I’ve run in to COUNTLESS people who didn’t even know that was how it worked, until I let them know.
Don’t forget the military police helmet you got from waypoint amazed that helmet didn’t carry to the other games it’s my favorite.

Glad that they basically did what was suggested here. Wish we got more of the reach armor, and it didn’t lock the previous season 2 battlepass free tiers tho… Had I known it was going to do that, I’d have unlocked the “free” tiers with the shoulders I wanted before they tried to force me to pay for em.

Holy moly, I completely forgot I made this post. Thanks for reminding me. 
They pretty much made exactly what I was asking for. Though I was hoping for more REACH stuff and fewer emblems.

You mean like, US Marines in the modern day?
There is no form of employment that automatically grants you “hero” status.
Read up about the occupation of Okinaw, or literally any war that Marines have been in -
" Soon after the U.S. Marines landed, all the women of a village on Motobu Penninsula fell into the hands of American soldiers. At the time, there were only women, children, and old people in the village, as all the young men had been mobilized for the war. Soon after landing, the Marines “mopped up” the entire village, but found no signs of Japanese forces. Taking advantage of the situation, they started ‘hunting for women’ in broad daylight, and women who were hiding in the village or nearby air raid shelters were dragged out one after another"
