Can we discuss why there’s halo reach armor being sold in the store as a bundle for $7… And can only be used on the armor core that is only obtainable in the Battlepass? To use these shoulders you need to spend $20. I think I’m done. This is the first and last battlepass I buy from the store. These things should have been in included in the hero’s of reach battlepass. Also why are they selling us armor that has been around in prior titles. I’m perfectly fine with being charge for new gear and features, but charging for old things is not ok.
Yeah it’s truly aggravating how the monetization works, cores might’ve been a cool concept on paper but they’re fundamentally flawed because of their strict restrictions
And all to sell you the same coating multiple times for different cores.
While simultaneously inciting you to buy the BP. Imagine someone naive not knowing that you need the BP to use the armor from the store. They’d buy the armor, then realize they can’t even use it because they need the BP. The only way they’ll know is if they read the fine print when clicking into the pack:
“Requires the Mark V armor core acquired in the Heroes of Reach battle pass.”
Any consumer that values their money would think twice before buying into this kind of system 
Selling armour that you need the BP for is stupid in its own way, but selling armour that was available in previous games seriously just rubs me the wrong way. Having some new and unique armour sets in the store are one thing, but on top of being overpriced they now want me to pay for armour I’ve already earned in a previous game are you serious?! Let me earn it again, not fork out some money just so I can make my spartan look how I made him look 10+ years ago.
The gameplay is phenominal and is practically the only reason I’m still playing it, but just how horribly almost everything else is in this game is seriously making me not want to play it just on principal. I can only take so much stupid corporate BS before I start to seriously not want to come back to the game period. I don’t know if this was a Microsoft or 343 decision for half of this stuff, but I seriously hope 343 gets their -YOINK- together and rectify the issues in this game before most of the people start to jump ship because of all the stupid stuff in this game.
