Does anyone think that 343 should put all of the pro order bonus content on the Xbox marketplace?
Pre-order bonuses? Yes
LE game/xbox bonuses? No
Nope that makes it pointless then. Iv never liked Pre order and LE bonuses being tossed up on the market place. Why make it a bonus then take away that bonus. If you miss out, you miss out. There meant as rewards. Not every player will have them. That the point. Not trying to be to big of a -Yoink- but spending extra money on something to get the bonuses then it being offered to everyone really makes it pointless in the first place

Emblems - I could care less.
Fair point
I would say yes if I didn’t buy all the pre-order codes of ebay. But with all the dlc armor plus the map packs it slows the ‘Checking dlc’ thing in the begining and gets kindof annoying.
I’d say no. What makes those armors so special is how rare they are. If everyone is wearing the deadeye helmet or whatever it just sort of loses its importance. It’s fun wearing a helmet most people don’t have.
Edit: I’m not saying that wearing armor most don’t have makes you better in any way, nor is that the only reason I would want certain armors to stay exclusive.
Sure. I wouldn’t care because I wear my armor based on how I want to look, not because other people don’t have it.
Speaking of which, why do people like using armor simply because others don’t have it? Attention? I never figured that out…

Neither LE or Pre-order bonuses should be on the marketplace those items were the incentive for player to pre-order the game or buy its LE edition now a few months later everyone can have their goodies? not fair IMO
They should put all content out for all. Or not. Doesn’t make a difference to me. I don’t have any preorder or LE content fwiw nor do I care if I did. I still regret getting that stupid helmet from Halo 3.
I have all the armor and skins and I could care less if it shows up on the marketplace. Some of you sound like spoiled kids…honestly who cares, it’s just visual. Kids these days…
Releasing Preorder content = Future in-game Micro transactions
It’s only fair to eventually put the pre-order bonuses up on the marketplace at some point. A person shouldn’t have to buy the same game several times just to get all the content. Some other games such as some fighters already put up their pre-order DLC. There’s no reason to lock away character costumes just because you didn’t buy the game from three different places.
The LE and console bonuses should remain as they are, since they’re incentives to buying those editions. Pre-ordering is different, especially since the game has already been out for over five months. If people are willing to buy codes off of eBay, then put them on the marketplace for everyone else who’s willing to pay.
Definantly no.
Pre-order bonuses only
no because I had to find the one place that gave the most dlc for one thing then buy the rest on ebay I got the deadyeye fotus and raptor for my xbox and then pre orderd a foreign leg edititon for gunginer and locus helmet and the boltshot is slowly pushing a lot of people over the edge if they do that then I sure a lot of people will just quit because ALOT of people went the whole 9 yrds to get that stuff and im sure they don’t want it ruined

What is the difference between a micro-transaction and a Microsoft Points purchase?
Aren’t they exactly the same, (which we have been doing for a long time now) but now with a new buzz word of ‘micro-transaction’?
They don’t offer any in game advantage, progression etc.
I’d prefer to see them for sale through XBOX Live than on eBay.

Nope. You pick your store and purchase your edition. Couldn’t afford it? Tough $h1t. Plan ahead next time. I saved a full year for my console, put yourself in somebody else’s shoes who planned and saved accordingly and got their exclusive. It sucks hard when you save and get screwed over by a company because a community begged for the release of your ‘exclusive’ exclusive that isn’t so anymore.

pre order not console or addition exclusive. plus there should never be any pre order exclusives. would anyone be mad if they released the multi threat chest piece for reach? i know i wouldnt and i have it. would anyone be mad if they released sgt. johnson for odst?? heck no. so to anybody saying no. get over it. the only exclusives should be edition specific. and since the game has been out for so long it shouldnt matter anymore anyway. and if someone complains cuz they already spent a ton of money on ebay getting everything then that is their own fault.
