[–]Apprehensive_Sun_217 2994 points2995 points  (185 children)

the 700 point bundle gets you about the same amount of armor items as the week one event...

[–]I_am_Rezix 1180 points1181 points  (145 children)

Wasn't this spot 500 last week lol.

[–]Mandruck 455 points456 points  (110 children)

Yes

[–]I_am_Rezix 686 points687 points  (26 children)

Cool. Next week it will be 1000. Better buy it now before the price goes up. Thanks for removing FOMO 343.

[–]TheSlowWagon 79 points80 points  (5 children)

Nice profile picture

[–]ScaredOfRobots 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m sure they’ll come back like fallout 76 atomic ship items

[–]Hudre 260 points261 points  (81 children)

You know what that indicates though, right? It indicates enough people are buying these things that they think it's reasonable to raise the price and have people still purchase it.

I don't think the Halo players are speaking with their wallets. Or they are, they just aren't saying what I want them to say. Everytime I see someone with a 25 dollar skin I just shake my head. That's so expensive for what is being provided.

[–]una322 102 points103 points  (23 children)

ofc, even with the huge amount of posts pissed about all this. there are 100x more people who dont come here and pay out there arse for anything. its why we're in this situation to begin with.

[–]o_MrBombastic_o 22 points23 points  (10 children)

Sorry guys I would never spend my actual money but I do Bing points specifically for in game stuff like this. I have about a month to go before I have enough points for the premium battle pass but that's what I'm saving for. I'm not spending my money but I guess it all looks the same on their income sheet

[–]Elite1111111111Keep it clean! 280 points281 points  (27 children)

And it actually contains less than the 500 point bundles did.

Both 500 point bundles had a coating, shoulders, and some other thing.

Now we have a 700 point bundle for a coating and shoulders for a core that you might not even own.

[–]TheBig_F ONI 116 points117 points  (15 children)

It’s also a coating battle pass owners already have.

[–]NyxtimeneGT: Nyxtimene 97 points98 points  (13 children)

True, but the coating is for a different core (Yoroi).

Still stupid but technically not the exact same

[–]dragon-momInfinite please be good. 350 points351 points  (28 children)

All of these rewards are single source. If you can unlock something in the battle pass, we're not going to let other players circumvent that by purchasing it in the store.

So much for that.

[–]omeggga Halo: MCC 43 points44 points  (0 children)

343 is so tone deaf they don't even listen to their own promises.

At least in Fo76 you can earn the currency to purchase in shop items.

[–]Veno_0 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Actually you got about 2-3x more for the same amount of real curreny in that one.

343 are making the Fallout 76 shop look generous in comparison, that is just sad because that one is already so overpriced.

As an example

Halo Infinite Overpriced Store:

Chonmage Armor Set 2000 Halo Credits (~AUD $28) 1 x Stance, 1 x Coating, 1 x Visor, 2 x Helmets 1 helmet attachment and 1 of each limb piece. If you want the blades to go with this set thats another $20 AUD.

Fallout 76 Overpriced Store

Riders Power Armor Mega-Bundle 3000 Atoms (~AUD $32)

War Rider Power Armor Skin Set (6 pieces), Black Rider Power Armor Skin Set (6 pieces), Pale Rider Power Armor Skin Set (6 pieces), Plague Rider Power Armor Skin Set (6 pieces), Riders Photomode Frame Set (4 pieces)

(Each Skin Set includes 1 helmet, 1 torso piece & one of each of each limb piece).

[–]Amaurotica 212 points213 points  (9 children)

These aren’t microtransactions, they’re MACROTRANSACTIONS.

[–]ShadowScorp99 113 points114 points  (5 children)

You see, they're not called Microtransactions because they're cheap, not anymore that is. No, you know why it's called that? It's because you get a small amount of content for the price. $50 for an in game hat? Microtransactions baby.

[–]The-Future999 918 points919 points  (60 children)

Already has. Get to your keyboard, Spartan. Time to shit on 343.

[–]fresh5447 101 points102 points  (59 children)

Confirmed I will never spend a $1 in this stupid ass store. Might not even buy another battle pass if shit doesn't change.

[–]XRey360 1033 points1034 points  (53 children)

What really worries me is the Boost and Swap Pack. Its existance will always remind that earning exp or doing challanges will be sucky one way or another, in order to make you buy it.

[–]TemptedTemplar 466 points467 points  (34 children)

If they added a way to get a few hundred credits each week it wouldnt be so bad.

But without ANY means to get credits aside from purchasing, yeah it feels terrible.

[–]Noobieswede 156 points157 points  (13 children)

I agree they should add credits as a reward for the weekly challanges.

[–]SuperBAMF007 Halo 5: Guardians 59 points60 points  (9 children)

Even if it was ONLY the Final Weekly or whatever it’s called. Throw us 150 credits for completely the weekly challenges and let us buy stuff for an immense amount of effort given.

Edit: even just 75-100 would be enough. But in a standard 3 month season, I think 4 completed weeks is worthy. Maybe you can only get a max of 600 credits each season? Idk

[–]CommunicationOk2356 53 points54 points  (9 children)

Yep. Even warzone’s battle pass gifted credits. I believe if you completed one entire battle pass it pays for itself

[–]dragon-momInfinite please be good. 31 points32 points  (1 child)

The fact that having to swap challenges is an item at all to pad the BP is super scummy. You can do it for free in other games, usually on a limit per day.

[–]Certified_GSDHalo 3 34 points35 points  (3 children)

If the intention of making it difficult to earn XP was an honest mistake, they wouldn't monetize the option to make earning XP easier.

The very moment you monetize gameplay, you damage the integrity of the system.

[–]G1Megatron H5 Platinum 5 1700 points1701 points  (153 children)

Damn. $35 if you want the Blades as well. 🤣

[–][deleted] 1106 points1107 points  (121 children)

And only works on one armor core.. Just wild..

[–]Gaea-Rage 877 points878 points  (58 children)

I keep looking at MCC with this whole armor core shit and it just blows my mind. Like imagine if that system had been implemented in MCC every season.

Fireteam Raven armor? That's an armor core.

The Elite armor? That's an armor core.

The Anvil armor? That's an armor core.

The medieval/sci-fi armor? You can bet each different type of medieval would be it's own armor core.

The inability to mix and match alone is just...mind-blowing. Like holy shit dawg, how do you fuck up a staple of your franchise this bad?

[–]JillSandwich117 190 points191 points  (31 children)

This is kind of the launch MCC and Halo 5 problem of only having "helmet" and "armor".

[–]Gaea-Rage 233 points234 points  (29 children)

Man, these people genuinely can't stick a landing to save their lives, can they?

I'm sure things will get better, eventually, but first impressions tend to be everything.

[–]JillSandwich117 76 points77 points  (15 children)

Honestly I'm impressed that they finally managed to nail gameplay at launch after 2 botches, if Campaign is good too.

I'm not surprised they botched monetization after how bad REQ was in 5, nor "live service" or whatever we want to call support. Halo 4 had a lot of weird missteps like the "totally planned" extended free trial of a map pack and massively delayed Spartan Ops part 2, or the barebones launch of 5 with no Forge, custom game modes, or FireFight.

[–]IamIanman 80 points81 points  (4 children)

Well the elite armor kind of is an armor core because you can't mix it with Spartan armor but still you can mix it with old elite armor.

[–]Gaea-Rage 57 points58 points  (3 children)

Right, but I meant like, if we had Elites in Infinite's MP, that would have been a separate armor core for them.

[–]IamIanman 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I gotcha, it was just a little funny that this system actually does work in a similar way to the elite armor in that it's exclusive to their own customization branch. But that was more understandable because it was a totally different species. That should be the only reason to have different cores.

[–]legend_of_the_rentHalo: MCC 272 points273 points  (54 children)

I would have no problem throwing them $5 or $10 for armor every once in a while, but I can't justify paying $20 man. Too much.

[–]moneyball32 326 points327 points  (30 children)

You don’t want to pay a third of the price of what all past Halos and their robust customization options have cost for one single armor set that you can’t customize in any way? What’s wrong with you?

[–]legend_of_the_rentHalo: MCC 49 points50 points  (1 child)

I guess I am just a fake fan :(

[–]KILLER8996 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Make all the armor pieces cross compatible, put the katana with the skin bundle and allow it to be used on all armor, put the gun skin with the bundle and I could maybe see it being it’s price

[–]urallsimpletons 224 points225 points  (24 children)

It's borderline comedy. $15 dollars for katanas that were given out for free in previous games for completion, that are only usable on a single armor core.

How anyone is okay with this is absurd to me. Even people who don't plan on spending a single cent should find this unreasonable.

[–]PhantomGhostSpectre 84 points85 points  (1 child)

I was planning on buying a cosmetic I actually liked when I got the opportunity, but honestly, fuck them. I was looking forward to this Samurai nonsense too...

[–]urallsimpletons 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm not even a f2per. I bought the Battlepass. Which cost me less than the Katanas do lmfao

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are these the same blades that are free in the event pass?

Edit: No they aren't the same blades, the blades in the event pass are smaller

[–]Reddit_Or_Naw 774 points775 points  (103 children)

Does the sentinels blades only come with the katana shown and some emblems for $15?

[–]vindicatorhelix 574 points575 points  (14 children)

I like how the free event katana is a tiny ugly blade but the massive samurai blade is $15.

[–]Jaxalope25 Halo: Reach 356 points357 points  (8 children)

You can seppuku with tiny one

Edit: forgot a p in the word so now I'm going to suduko myself

[–]Matterson7 210 points211 points  (4 children)

343 should consider this course of action for bringing such dishonor to the halo franchise.

[–]grimoireviper 52 points53 points  (1 child)

The free one is a tanto, not a katana.

[–]kingrawerSword of Sanghelios 408 points409 points  (75 children)

These prices are crazy for what you get. Even by F2P standards. I feel so disenfranchised by this game's customization side.

how predictable

[–]sasstomouth 205 points206 points  (18 children)

How profitable!

[–]magiras 62 points63 points  (15 children)

Is it? I'd honestly buy it if I could wear it anywhere but I'm not going to since it's locked to 1 core.

[–]BuckIsBae 37 points38 points  (2 children)

Don’t worry they will definitely release another $15 sword for the core you want so isn’t that awesome!!! Greater customization than halo reach!!!!!

[–]Elite1111111111Keep it clean! 681 points682 points  (16 children)

$15 for a Sword and an Emblem. Hilarious.

[–]itsrywat 233 points234 points  (13 children)

A cosmetic sword that you can’t even use hahaha

[–]Doom-StateInfinite 77 points78 points  (4 children)

Do weapon wraps work for every gun?

No

[–]WEENUS44 143 points144 points  (5 children)

Big oof

[–]eec-gray 68 points69 points  (4 children)

What? That's a shader? For a single gun? That's just a shade of blue. And that's $10?

[–]PsYcHo4MuFfInS 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I found the 10$(?) Scorpion funnier... yes, let me purchase a skin for a vehicle I get to see once every 20 or so matches...

[–]Hasten117 120 points121 points  (10 children)

That Shinobi wrap? Just for the AR. It also adds a compensator looking thing to the front and some emblems! For just 1k points ($10). It’s dumb.

[–]multihawk 61 points62 points  (3 children)

Seriously? That's incredibly dumb. The wraps in Fortnite at least go on all the guns and vehicles for a single purchase.

[–]KILLER8996 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And with fortnite you also see all the skins you buy 24/7 but in halo a $15 katana you’ll see when you die and when you start or end a match

[–]nevermore2627 96 points97 points  (13 children)

Nope. I bought one of the skin bundles and tried to equip a weapon charm, A FUCKING CHARM and it told me it would unequip the skin because the charm was not part of the "kit." Pretty lame.

[–]WEENUS44 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That is incredibly stupid.

[–]LordGavlar 449 points450 points  (0 children)

Thanks I hate it.

[–]HauntedVale 276 points277 points  (12 children)

So I see no one mentioning this. In this setup, isn't is possible to buy stuff for the Yoroi armor AND not have it unlocked. So you could buy stuff and not be able to use it at all?

[–]Sharpie1993 125 points126 points  (2 children)

Yes that is correct, it apparently lets you know before hand though.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It does, I checked.

[–]RadioactiveGwenPool 68 points69 points  (3 children)

I didn't think a game could have a cosmetic item shop worse than Avengers, but here we are.

$15 for a belt?!

[–]Cybermat47_2Fleet of Valiant Prudence 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Apparently that one belt is worth as much as the entire premium battlepass lol

[–]-SubjectSix- 138 points139 points  (7 children)

Here in Australia it would cost $29.95 for the armor, and $22.90 for the sword.

So $52.85 just for the armor and sword.

Tacking on that assault rifle skin would bring the total up to $67.80

Absolutely despicable behaviour by 343, no excuse at all. The gameplay itself is as good as halo has been in years, but this MTX fiasco just screams battlefront 2 all over again. I hope 343 wakes up.

[–]dread-azazel 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Of course.

[–]BIGCAT3409 691 points692 points  (53 children)

$10 for a fucking wrap! Get the fuck out of here

[–]BlandTenders 361 points362 points  (11 children)

“Shinobi wrap” it’s just light fucking blue

[–]gnarkilleptic Halo 2 140 points141 points  (4 children)

For only 6 of these wraps you can buy Sekiro and be an actual Shinobi

[–]Wetwork2D 25 points26 points  (2 children)

Sekiro is usually on sale for $30 on steam, so half that value. Lmao.

[–]oALEXtheGREATo 22 points23 points  (2 children)

I can hear Angry Joe now "10$ for fucking BLUUUUUUE"

[–]benz-friend.69 K/D, nice 73 points74 points  (18 children)

You can get two Halo Rockstar energy drinks redeem both codes and get a nice looking black&gold wrap for the MA40 with double XP

[–]FattyD17 47 points48 points  (3 children)

And boy it looks really good. 2 2xp tokens, 2 challenge swaps, and an AR wrap for half the price of that single AR wrap. AND you get 2 drinks.

[–]BushyOreo 16 points17 points  (1 child)

for half the price of that single AR wrap.

30% of the price!I bought 2 rockstars for $1.50/each so $3 total. They want $10 for that lmao

[–]Environmental-Jury-3 76 points77 points  (2 children)

[–]FrostyTheHippoDMR is life. 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Waiting patiently for the inevitable video.

[–]Dvamainbtw 73 points74 points  (4 children)

And not even a cool “skin” that changes the look of the gun (not that we need that) but $10 for Just a basic recolor is insane.

[–]LastLetter444 30 points31 points  (0 children)

FOR FUKEN BLUE !?

[–]ViiRtuaLz Halo 2 449 points450 points  (19 children)

So overpriced.

[–]LankySeat Halo 2 (MCC 700/700) 111 points112 points  (4 children)

Seriously.

I've never been a microtransation kind of guy, but even the people who buy into these kinds of things have got to be wondering how fucking blue is worth $10.

[–]CometGoat 172 points173 points  (9 children)

So if you buy the sword for 1,500 credits do you also get the core or do you just have to wait until you unlock it in the """free""" event?

This monetisation is so wacky. Crazy that in the first week they're already trying to piss people off so much by making their free event so expensive

[–]Elite1111111111Keep it clean! 46 points47 points  (7 children)

If I remember right from that free HCS bundle, it should give you a warning before you buy that mentions you don't own the core, but I could be wrong.

[–]MVPizzleONI[🍰] 51 points52 points  (6 children)

Lmaooooo it shouldn’t even let you buy it

[–][deleted] 163 points164 points  (0 children)

So the leaks were true

[–]WittyFox451 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Two dollars to swap a fucking challenge. Wow. Never buying battlepass again

[–]I_am_Rezix 222 points223 points  (20 children)

Good time to bring up the "Grey armor" thing. Saw a few posts yesterday about people wearing default armor with default cadet Grey and GREY as their tag as a solidarity thing to protest this bullshit monetization.

[–]PhantomGhostSpectre 70 points71 points  (7 children)

I just might. Not like my character can look how I want it to anyways, might as well just stick with the default.

[–]Cultural_Ad_9304 46 points47 points  (6 children)

Funny thing is that’s what I did in reach until I could buy the armor I wanted. But I had no issue with it because I just needed to level up. Totally different feeling when you are forced to spend money instead of playing a game for fun

[–]MiStrong 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna do this next time I log on

[–]CQB_BEAST223 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is bad

[–]SirSwazz 238 points239 points  (8 children)

They are honestly taking the piss at this point…

[–]AshierCinder Halo 3: ODST 38 points39 points  (4 children)

Nothing new there. I genuinely think they cringe everytime they see the store refresh, knowing how pissed we are at it, knowing that we will be even MORE pissed.

[–]YellowFogLightsTell 'em to make it count. 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Seems they don’t cringe hard enough to change it with any sort of expediency though.

[–]SomeHallGuy Halo: CE 406 points407 points  (32 children)

So fucking greedy. 343i should be ashamed of themselves.

[–]urallsimpletons 257 points258 points  (10 children)

"We're sorry" massages nipple

[–]LenisThanatos 48 points49 points  (9 children)

Has South Park covered greedy monetization in games like this yet? Haven’t watched the most recent season.

[–]diddlyumpcious4 76 points77 points  (8 children)

Yep. They had one episode about mobile/freemium games. “Freemium isn’t free” season 18 episode 6. That was in 2014 before this trash spread from mobile games to taking over all gaming.

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (2 children)

That's where I learned the term "whale".

[–]IronLegion52 299 points300 points  (4 children)

They're reselling Jorge's armour coating but for the samurai armour?

Borderline criminal.

[–]Striker_LSC[🍰] 127 points128 points  (2 children)

Holy shit, I didn't even realize that it's literally the exact same coating, they didn't even change the name. wtf

Edit: nvm, it's a different name but it still has noble in it and the colors are the exact same lol

Edit 2: nvm again, they swapped the tan sections with the olive section... they're selling us the same color combo but with the colors in different spots yay

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

And you can’t use any of them with the other cores lol don’t forget

[–]SmokingApple 244 points245 points  (6 children)

These prices are fucking hilarious. What a joke. Get fucked.

[–]Ylurpn 961 points962 points  (98 children)

Everyone: Please consider not buying anything from the shop. I get that you might just want "this one skin" and you are "only giving them this $20 once", but if people continue to buy literally any of it, they will consider this acceptable behavior and continue to sell stuff for ridiculous prices.

I am essentially suggesting a boycott of the store cosmetics. If they make more money from that store than they do off of the campaign, then we will be telling them that they can just make skins and forget about single player content

[–]DICK-PARKINSONS 112 points113 points  (1 child)

They don't even make it appealing to buy from the store when you can't apply this shit to your other sets. Like how the fuck am I gonna justify paying $15 for a katana in an FPS that I can't even put on my other armor. Forget the abundance of greed part, this is just plain stupid.

[–]mikehaysjr 204 points205 points  (6 children)

Yup, then we end up with a GTA Online experience, where they constantly add more microtransactions and neglect Single Player expansions entirely because it just isn’t as profitable.

[–]Sinktit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To be fair with GTAV they killed off the single player team and that’s why they had to moneywhore GTAO quick. It’s also why they announced the first of the 3 single player DLCs “coming in the next X weeks” and the game died overnight.

All those hours we spent ripping every file and string from the game only to discover the solution to the Chiliad Mystery was basically nothing because the higher ups didn’t want to share the profits properly so the team all left.

[–]Nosrok 51 points52 points  (6 children)

I'm not boycotting out of protest, I'm just not buying anything because it's all boring but also slightly over priced. I'll just save the extra credits I picked up for other battle passes.

[–]Dvamainbtw 50 points51 points  (3 children)

People try to push this in every game with an item shop now. There will always be people buying them, that’s why every game keeps doing it.

[–]X-Tracer Halo Wars 2 67 points68 points  (7 children)

Ah yes free

[–]vinny10110 146 points147 points  (27 children)

In COD $20 gets you a new operator, assasination, calling card, and a weapon blueprint. Equivalent to a full armor set, coating, voice, emblem, and weapon skin in infinite. These prices are flat out predatory, don’t settle for this shit.

Don’t forget you also get challenges for that operator to unlock variants of the skin, originally just recolours but later packs actually let you unlock different versions entirely lol

[–]knightducko 401 points402 points  (40 children)

These free items are incredibly expensive.

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Lol

[–]RavUnknownSoldier 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I've been pretty middle of the road on this whole thing, but this joke really made me laugh. Thank you for this lol

*disclaimer: even as a middle of the road kind of guy, these prices are a little high imo

[–]urbanmechenjoyer 57 points58 points  (2 children)

Ok so let me get this straight we have a battle pass with challenge swaps and XP boasts in it already you know padding items.

So why in the 7 circles of hell is the store FULL of content that could replace the padding.......oh right greed 343 is greedy how could I forget.

Oh and you can’t use nearly all of these yet because the armour core has to be unlocked......yep don’t buy it until you own the core people

[–]Shawng7777 73 points74 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous

[–][deleted] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

The worst idea ever, cool skins should be implemented before hand.

[–]Kitsun-yay 192 points193 points  (33 children)

This is gonna be the straw that breaks the camels back. 15 bucks for a god damn katana. 10 bucks for a blue AR skin. Cosmetics for a set that they said would be earned through the event. This is beyond bullshit. 343 really taking notes from Fallout 76 after the Bethesda acquisition.

[–]DICK-PARKINSONS 83 points84 points  (20 children)

What's funny to me is that not even Apex is this greedy, and I thought they were bottom of the barrel for these types of f2p games

[–]BlitzStriker52 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Lol if you thought Apex was the bottom of the barrel then don't even look at Valorant's pricings

[–]ImmersedOdin 58 points59 points  (4 children)

For real, people who are saying this is normal FTP behavior are really losing their minds this is by far the worst I’ve ever seen

[–]MrBruceMan123 68 points69 points  (7 children)

Yeah that all looks like it should be part of the event pass... Haven’t seen the pass yet but this gets me curious about what were actually getting...

[–]DinklebergOnXbox 56 points57 points  (6 children)

Its 65% xp grants, challenge skips and 2x xp. And then the rest is bland base items for yorai with one cool ar skin. Hopefully people are vocal about how upsetting this is.

[–]iStanleyx 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Fuck off

[–]Cappaci 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And now i shall only play this game for the campaign. Fuck this battle pass, pay to customize.

[–]R00FT0P_FIDDLER Halo 3 30 points31 points  (1 child)

Gotta love 343's deafening silence and lack of response to all the criticism they are rightfully receiving, but at least they got an event up with $50 worth of colors and armors.

[–]TheHungeey 30 points31 points  (1 child)

343 mindset - How do we keep players around for 10 more years? "Piss them off week one"

[–]SHM00DER 28 points29 points  (2 children)

If they want a typical battle pass / store system then why not add currency return like almost EVERY OTHER BATTLEPASS.

[–]JamesButlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This would make it slightly less shitty.. But it's still way too shitty

[–]Shadsterz 40 points41 points  (0 children)

343 still finding a way to fuck up and ruin a halo game even when they finally make a good one is hilarious to me.

[–]FeintLight123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This shit is so expensive, for fucks sake dude.

[–]Stay_Tech 42 points43 points  (5 children)

Vote with your wallets people

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This kind of shit is what will push me away from the game. If I really have to buy all cosmetic customization I’m out.

[–]Spiteful117 Halo 2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

343 should add an additional currency that allows you to purchase paid shop items, that should be the reward for your weekly ultimate challenges and maybe some in the season pass. Kinda like bright dust from Destiny 2

[–]Foxxie1337 46 points47 points  (5 children)

They’re so out of touch it’s almost sad

[–]NYPD-BLUE 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Imagine implying the campaign you spent six years developing is equivalent to three skins 💀

[–]aaqd 31 points32 points  (2 children)

Keep complaining and voicing your concerns. If they updated the store it means they have no current plans to listen to our complains about the egregious monetization as of yet.

[–]CharityDiary 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Have not seen one single commentator or critic talk about these monetization practices yet. We've just been screaming into the void here on the subreddit by ourselves. What gives?

Where are all the commentators who complained about the Battlefront stuff? Or Valorant or whatever? Does Microsoft really get a pass because "the game is free"?

[–]Mokocchi_ 33 points34 points  (1 child)

£16 for a single sword accessory for 1 armor core and the daily bundle is 700 for some reason so if you buy it you're gonna eventually run into that situation where you don't have enough points for anything and need to buy more to spend what you have.

not predatory btw, perfectly reasonable prices btw

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (3 children)

15 dollars for a sword. Holy crap these prices are out of whack.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m just sad, man.

[–]fadedfreezy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The customization in halo infinite sucks. I can’t believe this is really what I was waiting for.

[–]JessieJ577 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know maybe this wouldn’t be bad if it were like siege where you get currency for your performance and could save it for operators or other things or just buy the currency to unlock those things yourself. This way is basically pay or get jack shit. At this point buying the full game is only for the campaign since you will barely get shit in multiplayer

[–]aBeaSTWiTHiNMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They need to fuck right off with these prices. You could buy 5 horse armours for the price of one cosmetic sword.

Fuck off 343.
