Absolutely agree. The pass is literally called Heroes of Reach, it should have everything that Reach had.

Iâm mean, nothing was stopping you from seeing what was unlockable in the pass before you bought it.
And just because you âthoughtâ that they would add more to the pass post launch, well, thatâs on you really.

Thatâs not how capitalism works, if anything this is a great example of how to make horrible buiseness decisions. In capitalism you want to set the price which will lead to the most demand whilst also generating you the most income. This is just a stupid short sighted attempt to get the most amount of money, regardless of long term demand and you can already see that demand is falling as price increases.

Yeah I was very surprised to see MkV armor in the store. I assumed the store would only have stuff for the default Mk7 armor since at least the whole population is wearing that for sure. But this, like the core locked coatings, barely makes business sense. Itâs kind of incoherent, tbh, and I do not conclude incompetence of devs like people tend to do.
The only possible explanation for this customization mtx method is whoever they hired to design this has never worked on live service premium storefronts.
And Iâm extremely confident itâs a person or firm helping devs create whatâs essentially the same in-game markets for some or all the games that have it - itâs not just âcopying fortniteâ they are all functionally identical. Some entity is consulting or directly creating this and filling in the template with the devs content.
Or worse: itâs completely in-house and this person/team should know way better with MCCâs pass/store being common sense inspirations. In fact MCCâs battle passes also started with Reach armor for that gameâs inclusion and itâs much better than this.
It doesnât make sense and Iâm too confused to even be angry about it. I donât care if they reduce the price Iâm fine paying - I just want it to make sense.

I agree, the battlepass should cover all Reach armors, not bits and peices you cut out. Give us the rest 343, put them in place of the challenge swaps already on the Pass!

Even if âheroes of reachâ was supposed to just cover noble teams armor, it doesnât even achieve that.
One of Carterâs, one of Jorgeâs, and both of Emileâs shoulders will be store exclusive except for in the kits.
In addition to this Iâve seen shoulders, knee pads & helmets on bots that arenât in the battlepass or one of the above.
Honestly if youâre a big fan of the feeling from previous games on working to complete your armor collection, just put this game down and play something else.

I feel that all noble teams armour and reach classics should be in the pass, even if itâs in the 20 levels coming Dec 8th and shoulders should be in 1 level not 2

I agree, what will happen when the battle pass ends? We wonât be able to get the Mk V [b] or will they put it in another Battle Pass?
The next Battle Pass would be a complete disaster.
Itâs ridiculous the monetization needs to just go away I would rather pay $20 for the multiplayer itself then for a single item is genuinely really stupid and Iâm starting to get fed up with Halo infinite the challenge system is still getting on my nerves and the supposed 300 XP for your first match of the day is non-existent unless itâs meaning your first match of the week because it says of the day but it doesnât because I played a game yesterday and I got 300 XP and then I just went on today and I got 100 XP for playing a match if youâre thinking about buying any of the armor pieces or anything in Halo infinite donât if you donât own the MCC just save a little extra money and buy the MCC it is absolutely worth it and you definitely get your moneyâs worth with MCC and thereâs also something that I would like to point out there is a YouTube video that I saw recently itâs 36 seconds and it is simply 343i talking about the customization of cosmetic system in the game before it was released the YouTube video is by a channel I donât really know of but itâs called âFootedGhostâ and the name of the video is This did not age wellâŚ
Literally in the video you can hear 343i developers say theyâre coming at this from a player first mentality and then says if you can unlock something in the battle pass weâre not going to let another player circumvent that by buying it from the store then says that a lot of their stuff is unlocked by playing the game yet thereâs not a single item really thatâs unlocked from playing the game whatsoever Halo infinite is just not good the gameplay is fine some of the matches feel a bit repetitive and annoying especially when itâs a game mode youâre not really interested in playing which happens a lot.

lol you can easily look at all the levels of the pass and see whatâs in it. yâall who bought it and now complaining must be children and not know how the world works. Money is everything, not hopes and dreams. Good life lesson for you. #didntgetthebattlepass
I find it funny how youâre just sitting here immediately insulting people and calling them children because theyâre upset by the battle pass yes we can see everything thatâs in the battle pass and itâs underwhelming but see the thing is a lot of people expected that the battle pass would get future items added to it but yet we havenât seen any of that weâve just seen more and more items being added to the store and yes money is everything no one doubts that itâs pretty easy to know that money means a lot because well you need it for everything in life however when thereâs just a ridiculous amount of microtransactions in Halo the game isnât going to be making a lot of money in fact itâs going to be pushing out a lot of its consumers instead of actually making a decent amount of money like it would have made if it would have just added the multiplayer to the campaign like every other Halo game

No I guarantee you it wonât be coming to another battle pass I bet you itâll go straight to the store and will be $20 or more most likely hopefully not but I bet you it will end up going to the store anyway

At this point I think the answer is obvious and youâre just fuelling an argument which isnât really relevant.
Itâs like saying why do I have to pay for cookies when I pay for a monthly subscription for my coffee.
Imagine buying destiny when it first launched with a hefty 60 quid plus another 20 quid per dlc you sir are privaleged to play this game considering this is what halo originally was
âhereoes of reachâ youâd thing that would apply to not only Noble team, but to every other spartan on Reach? spartans who wore past and old armors on their MKVB. but i guess anyone who wore things like pilot, jfo, MKV, CQB, Millitary police, most shoulders etc⌠just donât exist, ainât that fun. oh! what, no, they do exist. just behind another paywall⌠-Yoink!- off 343, -Yoink!- off
There used to be a time when you could pay the full price for the game on day 1, get all the content that it was supposed to include right out of the gates, and unlock all of the cosmetics by actually playing the game and not spending another dime on it. Now im forced to spend extra money if i want to access the customization layer of a game that has always had a reputation for cool customizations.
Iâd rather just pay the $60 and abolish the store outright. DLC is another story, but these greedy game companies have destroyed the realm of video game cosmetics.
