Free during the event, then, if you bought the BP, you can gain them after.
Although, I did see someone say (I think @BlueDevistator ) that it would be better if the stuff was added AFTER the season was over, which also would be fine.

It is the same thing we have now.
If we miss a week, we miss a reward.
If we missed a week for your option, we would miss a token=miss a reward.
Also, @PsyberFlow , it would be good if there was a poll for this thread
No, I’m not saying I’m against a “gamer first” approach, I’m saying that they shouldn’t make a system that promotes a “leave it for later” mentality, cause in the end, that hurts the game population, and thus, us gamers too.
And I said that I agree on bringing older stuff back (why didn’t you quote that?), its just that the way you are proposing it to be done, from my perspective, doesn’t respect the people that already did complete everything.

Free + more time playing per unlock = earn them during the event.
Pay for the battle pass + less time playing per unlock = earn them at the end of the battle pass.
Seems reasonable to me.

There’s no reason why you should have to pay for items that were previously free.
Period. You don’t just all of a sudden charge for a previously free product. How’s that fair to the people who didn’t grind for the weekly? To have to pay out of their pocket for an item that should’ve been in the base battle pass to begin with?

Has it been done before in other games? Yes.
Has Halo Infinite had the opportunity to do that? Not yet? Then the postulated point is very much hypothetical to the hypothetical context of the whole post.
Within the hypothetical context of the post, yes.
Seems like a definitive confirmation within context of conveying factual info on your part 
It’s only 28 days old, you still have a day or two to edit the post to rewrite reality if you want to.
That’s fair.
But, we’re moving to crosscore, what about the people that spent money on the store and got multiple coatings (which inflated the price)? That doesn’t really respect them, and they spent money on it, didn’t get it for free.
In the end, it was their choice to buy it, just like it was your choice to grind out the weekly.
The difference between those is, the incentive to grind out the weekly is to get it before anyone else.
So at the end of the season, yes, players who missed stuff can go back and get the stuff they missed, but you will have a headstart on them.
So while they are grinding out the last of the previous season’s BP, you are already starting on S2, and it will only increase from there.
Possibly to the point where you are an entire season ahead of them.
It hasn’t had the opportunity??? We’ve had 4 events now, 1 fracture, 3 other events.
It has had MULTIPLE opportunities.
I sit corrected, my bad
I just want to see something like MCC’s Exchange where the items rotate in every week, you can see what next weeks items will be in advance.
The way I see it, you are paying for the availability of being able to unlock them whenever you want instead of unlocking them on it’s intended way, in an LTM. What would be the purpose of an LTM if its rewards were available forever?
It doesn’t have to be that way either, I’m not advocating for it. I’m just saying that if you want the same item as me, you should have it easier than me. You should grind as much as I did to unlock it. That’s all. I leave the intricacies of it to 343i.
The Holiday themed “Winter Contingency” would make total contextual sense to return sometime in Spring? 
Well, how can you call that item free to begin with if it ends up with a price tag later?
That would be called false advertising.
While I disagree with all forms of FOMO, I don’t want them to trivialize the effort that players put into earning weekly challenge rewards during Season 1.
While some people may be a bit upset that they missed out on specific items, motivation to continue playing among the crowd who did earn many of the rewards will completely tank. Not something this game can afford right now.
Instead, they simply need to revamp the entire challenge system in future seasons to align more closely with MCC’s seasonal challenges.

According to you, they would just be added onto the next event, like Overwatch
And we’ve had Tac Ops, Fracture: Tenrai and Cyber Showdown, nice try at ignoring them
I agree with this one. Add all the FOMO crap to the last season pass when the new season comes around, this way the grinders can have their shiny skins exclusively for a few months and after that, everybody is happy.
Works in MCC too doesn’t it?
Edit: There are no challenges in the game. They are just mind numbing tasks that are hazardous to the games health. Maybe a token system like in MCC would be better suited to separate the PvE/PvP crowd.

This is a hornets nest 343 should’ve seen coming a mile off. They’re going to recycle/repurpose/repackage assets, that’s all but a certainty. They haven’t communicated well enough to either side of this issue what to honestly expect going forwards.
If you grind all week to earn a nifty reward, can you be reasonably reassured that others will have to go to similar lengths to achieve it? Conversely, If you don’t have time or couldn’t complete your weeklies and capstone, are you SOL? Neither of these questions has been addressed to anyone’s satisfaction. I think 343i is keeping their options open and will sell old weekly rewards and event items in the shop and/or reintegrate them into new rewards or event passes as soon as some arbitrary amount of time has passed.
Whatever the plan is, they should really just come out and make it clear. There’s been way too much ambiguity around this through all of Season 1.

I agree, it would be great to know what the plan is for these assets.
Sounds like having us earn a weekly token, that can go toward any current or previous weekly reward would be cool! @TruncateComb6
We can have the free event tracks added to the free side of the battle pass, and have the same requirements to unlock? After the season is over.
I think the main thing is a catalogue of unlocks should be added to the game in some capacity, instead of just disappearing. Just like adding a new game mode to the playlist with events, the content should stay in some way that is fair for everyone.

How about, event passes are added onto the end of seasonal passes when a new season comes along.
This is actually going to take longer to unlock since during the event, you only had to complete 1 challenge per level.
With the BP, you need to complete multiple challenges for 1 level.
And then for the weeklies, they have their own separate BPs for seasons that you can swap between like normal seasonal BPs.
Each level costs a certain amount of XP and each week adds a new level.
When a new season starts, a new BP starts that you can progress down.
These are free and never expire
It respects the “grind” of the players who got it earlier, while also giving other players the chance to catch up

I really like this, bringing the previous seasons free event unlocks and adding to the next BP or separate event pass that becomes permanent in the following season.

The game needs to be more catered towards the casual community. Coming from someone who did all the challenges in S1, it’s such a slog and a pain and it doesn’t need to be. Bring the weekly rewards back the following season. It’s just cosemetics, remove the aspect of FOMO from the weeklys and the seasons.

This is the mindset, for the health of the player base and the longevity of the game. You need to have the casuals otherwise it will just be a small pool of seasoned players playing in the sandbox alone until the bitter end of the games life. I’m looking at you Halo 5… lol.
