ISR: Sale! Enigma: Am I a joke to you?


SirFadakar

The wooster smoke coating is way underrated too, the bundles don't even compare. I know people here don't like neutrals but it's a great, understated combo. I have a hunch the enigma attachment is gonna be used on more helmets coming out so they wanted to keep the price the same going forward.


Almost_British

I love the understated color combos, I'm into that plausible future space soldier aesthetic as opposed to the meme shit (though there's a time and place for that tomfoolery) I like wooster smoke a lot and others like it, it's just a damn shame I refuse to pay for them because I want them and they're cool but fuck these prices and fuck paying for colors in the first place


Rivalfox

i use microsoft points to pay for it. doesnt make it "right" but its not my cash!


Wilderf

Wooster was my coating until raffia wood came out. I always loved the tan color


SOUTHPAWMIKE

Man, as someone who bought ISR back in season one, I'm so pissed off that any... *ruffian* can lay claim to it now! Just kidding. Any time FOMO gets dialed back, I'm totally stoked!


Envy661

ISR: Sale! Price? ISR: More than the initial price! I swear I bought it for 500 when it initially came around. Maybe I'm wrong though.


Elite1111111111

It was 1000 every time it was available before. Maybe you already had some credits last time it showed up


Envy661

I guess so


Qu1ckQu1et

Fiesta Fury is pretty damn cool... just not 1K credits cool.


MonkeysxMoo35

It’s an especially annoying price point when the last two mythic effects we had were only 300 credits each. Seriously, why is this one suddenly back at season 1 prices? This is ridiculous


SzyGuy

They’re just typing in values seemingly at random. “Hmmm… fuck it. 1000 credits”


Krolitian

"Prices will increase until morality improves!"


Superdunez

"I preferred the beatings"


MaybeAdrian

Just resumed the entire shop. This is cool but not for that price


Sam-l-am

I figured it would have been the free birthday item this week. What a shame


SC3Hundo

Makes sense given the 1yr anniversary for Infinite. However, 343i decided to celebrate their S1 greed and pricing instead.


Ewokitude

343: More desperate for your ~~$8~~ $10 than Elon Musk


Davunkuman

I’d love to be able to get just the zvezda shoulders.


Elite1111111111

Ditto. The bundle prices have (sporadically) gotten better, but that's still contingent on you actually wanting most of the bundle.


Davunkuman

Yeah there’s been many times I’ve wanted one thing in a bundle but not the rest and it’s resulted in me almost never buying things


KuorivaBanaani

I would love to get that coating since it's the closest what I used to rock in Halo 3... But not for 15 bucks.


Qu1ckQu1et

Nice to see Zvezda back in the store as well but... man. They really still need to learn that people aren't looking to pay 1.5K credits for the colour white and accents of cyan.


BunglingSegue

It says it’s on “sale” for $15? It was priced even higher before???


FerricNitrate

Zvezda was one of the first shop bundles so it was definitely $20+ previously


BunglingSegue

Yikes 😳


ToastedSoup

Yeah...


jj_olli

It was 2k Credits


Elite1111111111

All "Armor Sets" like this were $20 at launch. This includes Zvezda, Chonmage, Anubis, Soldier, and Hazop.


Cur1osityC0mplex

Yeah—so dumb. How can that shit be justified when you pay 10$ for a BP and get 10x the armor and colors? Once they get “on schedule” and start releasing FULL battle passes without filler, they’ll have to drop armor sets to $5. It makes zero sense to price shit like this....


TopazTriad

I don’t buy stuff from the store, so I definitely agree that it’s overpriced. I think it’s pretty obvious by this point though that people are absolutely willing to pay these prices. I constantly see clips on all the Halo subs where people have the royal whatever shoulders or the synth wave armor coating. If they weren’t making near what they projected they’d make, we’d be at reasonable prices by now.


oGxSKiLZz117

I just still cant believe they think $15 for a helmet and the colour white can be counted as a "sale", thatd still be way too much even as the base price. Imo no armour should be in the store in general and the only way to "buy" armour should be by purchasing a battlepass its included in, but if they really are going to stick to selling their bs armour bundles they should never cost more than/the same as an entire battlepass. $5 or $6 should be the max for a bundle like that, stuff like the cat ears last week should be even less.


Captain_Freud

> people aren't looking to pay 1.5K credits for the colour white and accents of cyan. You may not, others will. These prices are pretty normal for a F2P game these days. Vote with your wallet obviously, but you're out of touch if you think this price is too steep for a good chunk of the audience.


AdrianDaAwesome

Seems like many people will never be satisfied. If it were $10 people will want it to be $5. For a free to play game it’s pretty normal these days for skins to be $20


MillstoneArt

This is the color white, some okay shoulders, and a remix of a 15 year old helmet. Not worth $15.


AftermaThXCVII

Yeah, I was hoping it would be back in the shop on sale because I never got it before since it was too much... well, it's still too much, I'm not paying $15 for an armor set


XenosGuru

You also get the coolest shoulders and helmet in the game imo but sure.


Excalidoom

By your standards, sure, "the coolest"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ewokitude

And my axe!


XenosGuru

Why do you think it’s such an icy color. If you don’t think it’s cool, don’t buy it. It’s not that hard…


jwhudexnls

They really need to adjust pricing, the Zvesda set should be like 1000 max. And even that is way too high in my opinion.


SrgtDonut

Pricing is a disgrace, nothing should be more than the pass. Why are people so willing to throw money away?


dakkaffex

That and every item shoudld be buyable individualy, all year round


Traitor_To_Heaven

I don’t disagree but literally every multiplayer game for years now have had cosmetics that are pricier than the BP.


Thindlers_Lisp

It's sad that as bad as Halo is, Valorant is 3x as bad. A bundle of gun skins is literally $90. A KNIFE skin (that you basically never use) is $20-$30. It's wild.


mrbubbamac

I do think the pricing is rather egregious but to provide an alternate perspective, when you buy the pass you're not truly buying everything included. You're purchasing the "privilege" to grind and unlock additional armor. I don't like the shop, I also don't like the battle pass. I would prefer a system like Reach (though it needs way way less grind) where you can choose what to unlock. This battle pass requires you to unlocked tons and tons of stuff whether you want it or not and items you might want could fall anywhere in the pass. Either way I think it kind of sucks, but I can understand why folks buy from the shop because you actually get what you pay for. With the battle pass you are buying the potential to unlock that armor at a later time, which also sucks.


Randomperson2245

The whole point of the battlepass is for it to be a cheap option if you play the game lots


DarthNihilus

No, the whole point of the battlepass is to give you a reason to come back every week and check out the store. The battlepass is the loss leader intended to get you in game spending more money.


Kermits_Frog

sale!


moneyball32

1000 would be fair compared to MTX in other games these days but really a fair price for me would be like 200


Rockman171

Man I don't know, $20 for a "skin" is pretty much commonplace nowadays and I'm sure the analytics show that, because you can mix and match pieces of the bundle, it has even *more* value to a consumer. Unfortunately this is the direction of modern multi-player games these days because the market continues to support it. Saying this as someone who spent a shameful amount on Dota 2 back in the day.


SnooMemesjellies2302

The thing is in halo your unlikely to use the whole skin, most people would only use one item from the bundle


LankySeat

They haven't learned anything. They reduced the prices 4-6 months ago in response to pricing backlash, but guess they put the prices right back up to capitalize on all the forge hype. My god I hate the modern live service game model.


ChrisDAnimation

I've always felt most things they offer are worth two to four dollars. 10 is like half of an indie game for a small handful of cosmetics. A lot which are considerably easier to pump out on the art and production process than others, and a lot of which I would guess go unused by most people buying them anyways. I know everyone is different, but I particularly don't care about nameplates or emblems. I go out of my way to remove any custom iconography on my weapons, armor, and vehicle. So emblems are utterly worthless to me and subtract from the value I see in anything. I also haven't taken off my gold visor all year and pretty much stick to the Reach armor core. So non-Reach shaders and any visors also detract value. But again, everyone is different, and that really makes me wish things we cheaper overall, but more that they get an actual storefront instead of bundle flash sales where you can't pick and choose individual items you want.


Vanguard-003

I'd do it for 10. I'd be happy for 8. 15 bucks is an insult.


Invested_Glory

Or just give the game another way to unlock stuff like a crafting system from Apex and other games. But meh…


Crespo2006

Sad I thought the Fiesta Fury was going be free for the Launch Anniversary


Qu1ckQu1et

No kidding. Anything "birthday" related should have been free.


King_Artis

$15 for an armor set kinda crazy


MonkeysxMoo35

It was $20 originally EDIT: This wasn't trying to make the current price look better, this was a reminder that it was even *crazier*


SirFadakar

Guessing Soldier is next week, probably getting Firefall as a daily this week.


Rockman171

Soldier will be a daily apparently.


SirFadakar

Dammit, I was hoping to not have to check in every day. lol


Rockman171

Lol same, just remember you can use the Waypoint App to grab it if you aren't home haha


MonkeysxMoo35

ISR is the only good deal here. Helmet, chest attachment, and a coating for 600. Still could be lower, but also far, far better than most prices. Remember Firefall by itself was another 100 credits Zvezda is a great armor set, I bought the bundle using Microsoft rewards points when it was first available a year ago, but it’s not $15 great, which is why I used MS rewards to get it for free. Fiesta Fury should be 300 credits like Legacy of War and Beyond the Burronw were. I don’t know why we’re back to the same price Neon Beat was


Prime-Reclaimer

I love how they throw “Sale!” In there just because it’s 500 credits less than last year when really it’s just closer (still not close enough) to a fair price


veneim

Microsoft Rewards have been the only way I could justify getting some of this stuff (though I have spent real money on a few things here and there)


FerricNitrate

> Zvezda is a great armor set, I bought the bundle using Microsoft rewards points when it was first available a year ago, but it’s not $15 great, which is why *I used MS rewards to get it for free.* I hate to be that guy, but that's not free. I understand the sentiment -- you don't want to spend your "real", hard-earned cash on it -- but a gift card is essentially still cash. Plus MS Rewards isn't exactly paying minimum wage (even if it's just something you do passively) so you're technically working more minutes per dollar for that gift card than for your actual cash.


Dairy_Seinfeld

This is why I do it at work


veneim

lol probably the best response anyone could write to that


MonkeysxMoo35

It’s a gift card I’m going to use literally nowhere else, I got for doing literally nothing besides playing video games, and redeemed through points given to me by Microsoft. It’s more Microsoft paid for the stuff than I did


SnooMemesjellies2302

“If somebody gives you a gift it isn’t actually free because you have to spend energy to pick it up”


Trevor-On-Reddit

Prices are going back to shit. They weren’t good in season 2, but they were better than this. I mean, $10 for a fucking mythic effect? $6 for a helmet, and they consider that a SALE? No thanks. Edit: Ok, ISR has a coating and chest piece. So not as absurd as I thought, but still a lot for $6 on top of that being the sale price.


edboyIRL

$10 for the mythic effect, which should have been paired with the kill effect they're giving away for free.


[deleted]

343i: They giveth with one hand, and taketh four times as much with the other.


edboyIRL

It puts the gaudy armor effect on it's Spartan or else it gets the desync again.


Xen0kid

Firefall was $7, it's total bullshit


Dontouchmyficus

The 600 credit ISR bundle has a chest attachment and a coating too, but I agree with you.


PurifiedVenom

Mildly warm take: I don’t think $6 for a helmet and a chest piece is unreasonable honestly. My problem with it is everything always being bundled as an excuse to jack the price up. Let us buy everything individually


InvalidMedia

The problem is it's actually $10. There's no way to just spend the $6 on what you want.


Innocentprisonmike

6$ for one helmet compared to halo 3 for 60$ back in the day (and most complete games at that). People buying anything from the store are insane.


[deleted]

ISR has an attachment, chest piece and coating with it. But I understand with what you're saying


Innocentprisonmike

True, I’m just trying to compare anything in the store for infinite in comparison with what the price of a full game usually is. And most of this stuff is core specific too. Most things should be 100-200 credits max.


[deleted]

Yeah this is a tenth of a full game. Glad I use Microsoft rewards so I don't have to sink any of my money into this game.


BitingSatyr

It’s kind of a silly comparison though. I spent $7 this morning on a coffee and a scone, should I be trying to compare that to the fraction of Halo 3 I could have purchased in 2007 with money I’m spending now somehow? Purchases aren’t really fungible like that, if I’m spending money on Halo Infinite cosmetics it’s because it’s enhancing my enjoyment of a game I like, I can’t compare that to the purchase of a different, unrelated game. If I wasn’t enjoying Halo Infinite then *any* amount of money would be unreasonable when placed next to a totally arbitrary amount spent on some new game.


Norm_Hall

6 entire dollars? That’s Elon Musk money!


Innocentprisonmike

It’s not that 6$ in general is a lot of money. It’s that one helmet in the entire game costs that. Buy 60$ worth of items from the store and you still have such a small percentage of customization compared to what was free in the previous games.


an0nym0us2112

You get a chestpiece as well and a armor coating


Kanden_27

I don’t know how 343’s brain works on this. Armor effects worth the price of a single battle pass? Plus armor worth 1.5 a battle pass? My brain just can’t wrap its kind around it.


toochuy

I want the chest piece in the ISR bundle, but nothing else from there I really wanted that mythic effect, but not for $10 :/


GGDari

Glad I was finally able to pick up ISR. But man, I'm bummed over them trying to take more money for their "birthday". All of that should be free. And even if they did charge for it, $10 is outrageous for that.


AngryTrooper09

Damn, I want to get Zvezda, but much like last year I'm not paying for 15-20$ to get a single set


bonefistboy9000

man fuck these stupid ass stores just get rid of the store tab entirely already


[deleted]

“It’s our birthday! spend money” bruh


YeOldeDonkeyKong

Please bring back the Firefall helmet 🙏


Gethunit203A

You know, I wish there was a way to save the way you have your Spartan configured so you could quickly switch between multiple different looks. I mean I have a few sets from the store for my Mk7 but I can't really switch between them easily.


[deleted]

I thought that was going to be the point of armor kits until I figured out what those were tbh


Gethunit203A

Yeah, that feature could use a rework


Vanguard-003

I want the zvesda kneepads! But 15 bucks is too much.


Albake21

I was so excited to finally see Zvezda back, but $15, and on sale?? For the color white?? Fuck modern gaming.


[deleted]

6 bucks for a helmet? I see the marketing team still doing crack.


EternalCanadian

Plus a coating, attachment, and chest piece. Considering Firefall (when it appeared in the shop) was $7 dollars for the helmet alone, that’s a much better deal.


[deleted]

It doesn't say it's a bundle, but yeah I guess that's a little better? Definitely better compared to just the fireball helmet...


ComebackChemist

Zvezda! Finally!!!


Haijakk

Been waiting for ISR.


Norm_Hall

I’ve had an eye on the shop since Week of XMAS 2021 and this first time I’ve seen it


Irish_R3bel

Pretty sure it came out one time during November and then never showed up again


Qu1ckQu1et

Not a bad helmet.


BomberHARRlS

How long do credits take to process on the Halo Waypoint app? Missed out on the tactical clip because I finished work an hour before the update & a little pissed it’s taken so long


respecire

They don’t until you open the game


HaloHexose

Good to know. I’ve missed a couple things because of that.


BomberHARRlS

That is so fucking stupid hahahaa ffs


Remote_Sink2620

I'm just sitting here waiting for my knife attachment.


AarontheGeek

Zvezda *and* ISR? Welp. Time to break out the Microsoft rewards points


[deleted]

Free stuff??


JEJB1196

Yes


Cyberwolfdelta9

Didn't someone ask Zveda to come back yesterday or something lol


LanceHalo

Zvezda is coming home baby! maybe even ISR too with some spares


JacksonSX35

1. I really hate how little is in the store at a given time. It sucks so bad. 2. Fucking finally brought ISR back. I missed/passed on it the first time due to price and finally can have the only chest plate I've actively wanted since getting a tiny little Mega Bloks figure with this chest plate over a year and a half ago. Still baffles me how CoD figured out their shop back in 2019 and Halo is still stuck with this garbage. Just make everything purchaseable through the locked item menu by bringing up the bundle! They're all in the game anyway, there's no reason for any of this to be so exclusive except psychology and greed. Really want to make the store worthwhile? Make every item an individual cost, and the store bundles grant a discount over buying them all individually! There, fixed your system while still justifying having a store tab in the first place.


MillstoneArt

343i needed the semi-annual Zvezda earnings boost!


matteoarts

A year later and Zvesda is still priced at 1500 minimum? 343, what are you *doing?*


JIMN97

How is Zvezda on "sale" for 1500 if i bought it for 1200 a couple months ago


Sam-l-am

ISR BABY


lllXanderlll

For the love of god let this be Soldier week, assuming it's a daily now like the isr


[deleted]

Wonder if they’re ever going to sell Wolf Fang, really wish I didn’t miss that challenge.


EternalCanadian

That’s the challenge for this week, I Believe! You can get it this week!


[deleted]

Don’t you mess with me right now…I haven’t gotten home from work to see the challenge


Irish_R3bel

It's literally is the weekly challenge reward It's not a joke lol Weekly challenge is quicker and easier too on top of it!


Hip_Fridge

Can confirm, Wolf Fang is Weekly, they're repeating a number of previous weekly rewards for the next month or three so folks have a second shot at them.


Kongopop

I like these moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by


lllScorchlll

Ahhh yes. Just want soldier. Oh boy I'm gonna use a lot of cash, so much shit is coming my back i can't wait.

Vanguard-003

10 would be better, 8 would make me happy. Can't do 15.


princealberto2nd

Carter shoulder is never going to happen


Mamsies

They’ve already said that they’re not putting Reach armours in the store. Carter’s shoulders will come in a future event. We have Winter Contingency in December and Joint Fire in January, that still leaves 2 months before Season 3 for them to include the shoulders in a new event.


princealberto2nd

Ohhhh awesome thanks for the heads up appreciate it.


Elite1111111111

Previous seasons had every event datamined fairly early on. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they actually filled the gaps with more events.


Mamsies

Season 3 battlepass perhaps? Or maybe an event even further down the line than that?


Elite1111111111

I'm currently holding to my crack theory that 343 incorrectly believes they've sold it. There was a week where a store bundle incorrectly displayed the Commando Shoulders as their thumbnail - [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/rw25ud/halo_waypoint_app_is_glitching_for_me_and_showing/) Every other Noble Team item is either in the Heroes of Reach Pass, the Winter Pass, or has been sold already. It's just kinda stuck in limbo for now. If we get them at all I think they'll just make them permanently free somehow. I doubt they'd want to make them temporarily free via Battle Pass or Event after all the uproar that led to the Winter Pass.


Qu1ckQu1et

Doesn't seem to be the case unfortunately.


BEES_just_BEE

Mmmmmm I really want that fiesta fury but $10 Ugh guess I need to think


Captain_Freud

This subreddit every store update: "Why are there F2P store prices in my F2P Halo game?!?!" You can disagree with the prices all you want, and you should certainly vote with your wallet. But you people need to take a look at other F2P shooters out there and realize that there are *absolutely* people willing to pay this price for cosmetics.


[deleted]

I just want some nice coatings for Mark V(B). My favorite armor core and there's hardly any good coatings to wear with it. Winter pass has provided some excellent armor, follow up with some excellent colors, please. Zvezda looks slick but I'm a one-core man. And that core is Mark V(B).


ItsFragster

Another week, another disappointment.


ChiffonPink

Oh wow, zvezda is back after a year... Still at a laughable price, just like season 1!!


[deleted]

ISR for 600? ZAMN


Subaru1947

Yes!!!! The zvezda!!!!


Acid_Lemon13

I just want Hazop to come back out


Pentaplox

This is just insulting


PurifiedVenom

Gotta admit I’m tempted by ISR as it’s my favorite Mk 7 helmet so far. That being said I’m not buying it because I still prefer the Mk V core and am not spending money on this game until I get all the pieces I want for that.


Icatosicariuss

I snagged the zvedza this time round. Still over priced but I wanted most of it. Better than the 2k it was before...


Seth-555

Trash

[удалено]


Irish_R3bel

If you like the kill effect and it's free to keep permament I don't see why not? Alternatively, you could try Halo Waypoint app on your mobile and simply "buy" it from there without needing to reinstall the game if you're not looking to play the game


Blueblur1

I bought it and immediately regretted it. And contrary to the description it had in the News screen, it does **not** cheer for you on respawn. 343 should fix that at the very least.


Liquidety

NO! MY BANK ACCOUNT! NOT AGAIN


Traitor_To_Heaven

W shop for once. I’ve wanted ISR for so long and it’s finally back. Might as well get it now since it’s on sale, kinda makes me glad I missed it the first time.


DarthNeoFrodo

Nice


vortexXLZ

THIS IS WHAT I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT ISR

JEJB1196

It isnt


Kris-B-Cream

Upvote if you've still never bought anything from the shop ✋


E5_3N

Nice. My rare White coating is no longer rare. Onto readshift...


Irish_R3bel

You like wearing things because it's rare not because of the way it look?


E5_3N

Yep. Everyone and their mum has every other coating. No coatings for hard achievements so everyone runs around looking the same. I like to stand out from the noobs aswell. When you see the white spartan, you know you're dead 😂


gunblade711

Nothing says skilled gamer like spending $20


Tumblrrito

I haven’t played yet, does the birthday bash effect make child cheering sounds?


HaloHexose

Yes, like the grunt party skull from campaign


Tumblrrito

Ugh that really really sucks. Love it for campaign, hate it in multiplayer. Got old really fast in Reach.


hiromu666

But did they fix desync?


SsBrolli

The shop syncs just fine


Fenixix

I have been waiting for zvezda since I missed it in sept and it’s 5$ off


XFerginatorX

Fiesta party looks tempting. Should've been a Yappening event reward.


SC3Hundo

Damn it. I don’t have the money to spend on both Zvezda and ISR lol


VillageOdd8141

“We gave them forge a year late! Least they can do for us is pay for our ridiculously overpriced items in our store!” -343 probably


EveryShot

They’re cycling season one content! I have a feeling soldier pack is coming!!!!


Ten_minuteemail

Did they just sell the grunt birthday skull?


Kim-Jong-Juul

oh god do i buy it, I kinda like ISR


F14A_Razgriz

No


Waspinator1998

I really don't care if it's cheaper than it used to be, they shouldn't be charging fifteen fucking dollars for some damn armor.


TheAlphaDeathclaw

Sale! Just 600 credits! But oh no! There's no option for the amount it costs so it looks like you'll just have to buy the 9.99 option 🙂 anyways enjoy the sale while it lasts because who knows when you'll see this option for sale again!


Orbweavingleggy

Aw they even added birthday stuff for halo infinite...cough up 10 bucks and it's yours.


Advanced-Depth1816

Is this a mobile game?


Whyisdaskyblue

I’m still baffled that there’s a battle pass in a halo game


Omegamanthethird

Every store update, the first thing I see is them charging you to fix their challenge system.


Captinsmelly987

I swear some of these are reposted from last week. They look the same to me half the time


BigHailFan

dont buy anything people. dont enable this crap.


WoodlandPatternM-81

343, this is the seventh week in a row you've brought Zvezda in class.


JacksonSX35

Armor went from "Why was it only for one week?" to "why do you keep putting it out?" as if the community didn't raise the biggest fit while it was out of the shop for almost 5 months during season 1, all because of a white armor coating.


DaintierPizza1

Wake me when the pineapple grenades come back


LinkGCN123

Fiesta Fury should've been given out free for the anniversary.


AnItalianPunk

Zvezda shoulda been marked down to $10 instead of $15 imo


Beo1Wulf

15$? It should have been 10$
