I think I want to say some mistakes other game des have made in making and giving skins out.
I am 100% for retailer skins, they are an incentive to buy the game at a corporation. With that in mind, they should NEVER, EVER, EVER!!! be available for purchase on xbox live. GOW3 did this and it ticked me and many other people off. What is the point at buying that game at a place if anyone can get it? It is dishonest and downright annoying, please don;t do it 343i.
As I have said before, you have these pre-order skins but I don’t want to see many skins that can be bought. If you play GOW3 you know what I mean. To me, the skin is worthless if everyone can get it, what is the point? It is far more rewarding to unlock something via in-game progression such as achievments. There should be many skins not everyone will be able to get unless they work for it or played previous Halo games also.
Like Halo 3, ODST, Reach, Wars, CEA, 2 Vista skins.
What do you think?
Agreed. I’ve been saying this on another forum as well. They should be unlockable so that people see what you did to get them. Not to be purchased…but i have a bad feeling about this =\

I do too.
If I see a marketplace skin store I am gonna be mad. There are already 7 pre-order skins, the amount of earnable in-game skins should be much greater and should be unlockable via in-game progress both in Halo 4 and in previous Halo titles.
I want it so that I may never get every skin and neither will many other people. I want skins and armor that are worth wearing because they show my hard work and experience.
I disagree
Disc locked Content should be available to everyone.
Ken, I thought you weren’t getting Halo 4…
I have to say i disagree too, the player shouldn’t be denied any content INDEFINITELY. Maybe those that preorder for a particular skin have that for a timed exclusive until it becomes available for all.
Saying that people shouldn’t be able to buy a skin if they’re willing to put the extra money forward is just absurd.
Its a skin… it makes NO difference!
EDIT: maybe i’m misinterpreting the OP, if you’re more against the idea of buying skins in general… then yeah id agree. As long as the “BEST” skins are only achievable by unlock or some great feat of online prowess im OK.
> I disagree
> Disc locked Content should be available to everyone.
Well everyone would have an EQUAL opportunity to earn the content via in-game progression so it isn’t disk locked content.
I don’t think you understand at all what I am trying to say.
Everyone would have a chance to get every skin, BUT not everyone should be able to do it. There should be skins that Halo fans who have played for years can earn that distinguish them. There should be skins for newcommers to the series that can be easily earned also.
The skins I propose actually require people to use “effort” and “work” to receive them. What is the point of having a cool skin if you had to pay Microsoft to use it? I wouldn’t you know why, because it can be gotten with 1 click, thousands of people can have it and it defeats the purpose of owning a piece of content made to distinguish yourself from other players.

They should be unlocked by accomplishing some exploits, challenging stuff.
Not bought with credits, like in Reach.

Then WTF IS THE POINT?!??
The entire point of retailer exclusive skins is that they are well exclusive. If they become DLC, what is the point of buying the game at a certain place?
Saying that a skin is exclusive to a retail store then selling it months later is dirty and underhanded.
To quote Cortana:
“Don’t make a promise, if you know you can’t keep it”.
Agreed 100% they should all by unlocked by achieving certain things. In GOW3 I pre-ordered from walmart to get the savage kantus and i bought mechanic baird off ebay for 5$ since you got that from pre-ordering from gamestop. Then when the newest DLC came out it had those characters included… It makes pre-ordering pointless.

Exactly, it was a greedy move by Epic to make a quick buck.
