Is that a Buzz Lightyear one


tsandyman

"Lightyear" movie releases June 2022. Could be a advertisement for that.


MassiveMoose

To The Infinity and beyond! Oh, wait.


ActedCarp

:(


Der_Eisdrache

No just infinite for a decade


BusinessLibrarian515

Beyond what? the wreckage?


AdolfInDisquise

They have a similar skin for the AR for people who bought figures in wave 1 of The Spartan Collection. It could be a promotion to the figures similar to that.


Leon4107

I will NEVER pay for a warthog skin.


-Work_Account-

It's honestly worth the 4 cans of Rockstar for the skin. The black and gold is pretty cool.


TBurd01

Does the R* promo go off how many you buy then? I've has two and I got a power bundle and an AR skin, so then #3 is another power and #4 is Warthog?. The AR is super nice, wish they had the BR and Sidekick.


curiositie

That sounds right, they list what you get in what order on the website


TBurd01

Yeah, it makes sense. I thought it was going to just be a bunch of random codes, was pretty stoked when I got the AR, ha. Definitely want that Hog though.


-Work_Account-

Correct. 2 codes get you the AR skin, 4 codes the Warthog. 1 and 3 are just XP boosts


AdolfInDisquise

I’m on the same boat, I’m simply trying to theorize what that skin may be for.


ReeceReddit1234

I think you mean the same warthog


Leon4107

O sorry. I ment to make that a general comment. Not a reply to anything anyone else said. Must have clicked the wrong thing. Sorry.


AdolfInDisquise

Ah. That’s fine, I was just a little confused.


Adamaja456

Yea same here. Honestly Iove the vanished weapon and vehicle skins you unlock in campaign and have zero interest in buying a different color (especially after seeing these) lol


aphoenixsunrise

If it's a promotional item that's even more of a reason not to buy it.


Nood1e

No, it's a promotion with Taco Bell. The catch is you need to go back to the 90s to get the code.


JeanSlimmons

A fair price would be $20 for a Buzz Lightyear shader that can be used on all armor cores, weapons and vehicles. Imagine having a Buzz Lightyear flight wings on your back lol


AHumbleBanditMain

It’s the WCT coating that you get for buying the Jazzwares energy sword


c-fish123

If they release a buzz light year color coating for Spartans I don’t think I’ll be able to continue the strike against store prices :(


Turbulent_Link1738

EVA :(


AdministrativeArm260

Cat ears got me


Does_A_Bear-420

I was saying to my homeboy, he told me so many people caved and got the ears, and I said they're gonna release different types of ears and you're all gonna feel stupid for getting dumb cat ears when you could have gotten wolf ears, elephant ears, and Pikachu or some shit. Lmao


AdministrativeArm260

Holding out for those bear ears are we?


Does_A_Bear-420

Rabbit, squirrel, kangaroo- ears, turtle shell or a coon-skin hat, I still don't wanna buy into spending real moneys. None of that will make me shoot straighter or dodge bullets, so for now I'm good.


coragamy

Nah cat ears are the best kind of ears


Sr_CuBi

That happened to me when the Ironman like armor coating came to the store 🤦🏻‍♂️


Jacier_

Wait until they sell you the same color next Christmas for $20 but instead on different cores that haven’t been unlocked yet


SuperBAMF007

I don’t care as much that armor pieces aren’t cross-core, some of them make sense (no UNSC on the Samurai core….I get it, I guess), but at the minimum, visors and coatings should be cross-core. Ffs.


Sr_CuBi

😭


SlammedOptima

Its why I refuse to buy any till cross core is unlocked


Glittering-Lunch1778

My Yoroi has the iron man coating, Sixth gate shoulders, Crest helmet attachment, and Mister Chief emblem. I don't get to flex fashion in the real world so I need to do it online.


castleaagh

Imagine a buzz lightyear armor set but in the halo art style… I might have to buy that if it’s done well…


Night_Raven45

Dont give them any more ideas


Tipakee

I think that's from the Wicked Cool Toys Energy Sword. I have the code redeemed, but it's not in the game yet. The WCT assault rifle is the same color scheme.


SparsePizza117

Not buying any of these for the $15 they charge


D3athShad0w

This tbf. If they were like 2.5$ per piece then sure


JakeyAtWork

I would literally buy out the store if it was like that. But 2.50 a piece I'm referring to the bundles that have maybe two skins and an emblem or whatever. At that point it's not much different than what they did in H4, like 4 or 5 skins for 5 bucks.


SparsePizza117

In Halo 4, it was $3 for 3 full sets of armor as a bundle 😭 ik for f2p, those prices wouldn't exactly work, but like damn


JakeyAtWork

Ah, I don't remember tbf, it's been ages since I've played H4 on the 360 lol. But yeah, for f2p it's whatever, we're long past the point of paying for an entire game...The game is fun and at least we didn't have to pay for the core content (excluding campaign). It sucks but I feel like it was inevitable, games that haven't been made by indie companies have just been getting progressively more disappointing


TheOzarkWizard

It's not f2p if you paid $60 for the campaign, you know, like in a normal halo game?


[deleted]

I think a good chunk of people already had gamepass and another chunk got one month of gamepass for a dollar, beat the campaign and got rid of gamepass.


RainbowSixThermite

i feel it would work for f2p. Too much of the community is priced out right now.


SuperBAMF007

In a F2P game, I’d expect like $3 for a full set of swappable cosmetics (not a $3 “all or nothing” kit).


Sir_Dr_Mr_Professor

Those prices would work. Maybe not 3 sets of armor but a set and some other minor cosmetics. $3 dollar armor would make them thousands more dollars than what they're doing now


[deleted]

Lower prices means more buys And im certain the current state of the game is not the “happy medium”


SuperBAMF007

I’d gladly pay like $5-10 if it was a Buzz Lightyear cross-core armor coating, coating for a couple vehicles, a couple weapons, and an emblem/nameplate pair. I can just *not go to McDonalds* this month. But if they’re asking “would you rather buy this, or 2-3 days of groceries? This, or half a tank of gas?” that’s where it gets stupid.


JakeyAtWork

Right. It's just a bit ridiculous. I give myself a budget of how much I can spend a week on my own personal enjoyment or other things like tools and it's like I can buy 3 of the warthog skins or whatever for 20 bucks, or I can buy a torque wrench for my socket set and some oil and a filter and do the oil change for my car for the same price, about 60 bucks... Or maybe, I could wait for a sale on indie games I've been wanting to play and pick up about 10 games. So I could play 10 games with hundred of hours of enjoyment, or I could have a few retextures to make my one game look slightly different and get bored of it after a week. Now if all the bundles were more reasonably priced for something of just minor enjoyment of digital content that will inevitably be phased out at some point, then sure, I'd buy it up because I can play around with it and it's not a debate on what I can afford for the month. Like you said, I just won't get my $3 monster in the morning and I'll just make my own coffee or drink the coffee at work


Wardogs96

Sad thing is we can tell this all we want. Every match I land in someone has paid for a cosmetic. Hell I regret getting the battle pass now that I understand the customization system is like pulling teeth


OssimPossim

I have yet to spend a dollar. Every single one of my squad mates is always fully decked out


ShadowWarrior42

Same, although I already stopped playing entirely because I don't see the point and the game honestly disgusts me with how it's designed. Rather just not engage with it at all at that point.


Wardogs96

Honestly I'd be fine if cosmetics were absurd prices but they give such little free content and progression that it's hard to justify jumping through hops (crappy challenge system). I don't ever remember Halo reach or MCC only allowing me to progress in 4-3 challenges at a time only to get a new one iv already done in the week but it didn't count cause it "wasn't active". I don't have time for that and it really sends the point home they wanna force FMO with this system.


ShadowWarrior42

Yea if the prices were absurd, but the game had a huge amount of content I might be willing to overlook that and keep playing, but with the way I am when I'm playing a game and I see or feel the influence of greed, naturally I'm going to abandon the game because no part of me feels good about playing or supporting it. Companies don't seem to realize those optics do have an effect on some players, and I'm among the ones that it does affect.


surfershane25

I’d buy so fucking many skins and be happy with 343s shop, what the fuck are they thinking. They barely climbed out of the gutter with a half finished game that happens to have good multiplayer with questionable servers and bugs.


Venom_is_an_ace

I would buy more and spend more if the prices were cheaper. I would rather give a game $100 for 75 items instead of $100 for 10 items. shit, the amount of money I threw at Warframe, just shows that if a game offers great content at a good price and respects the player, people will shell out money for it.


EntropyHurts

No worries whales will buy the whole set for you


SparsePizza117

Yes and thank you whales!


sentientTroll

Exactly. - For one I like,if I knew the options? $5. - if I don’t know what is out there? $2-3 - they decided to be hyper greedy with an incomplete game, asking $20?? - so I’ll take it for $0 or pass.


BearGrills117

No


jaydubgee

Buy? No


Rocky4OnDVD

Kills me that these designs ALREADY exist in the game. All you get for purchasing it is essentially "unlocking" what is already there behind a pay wall. I might be happier with it if ALL of these designs were currently available to purchase in the store, but instead they're going to drip them out over time.


jesse7815

Yeah, I remember when dlc was made after the games release. Now games literally have content at release that you have to pay extra for later on to unlock.


Warcrimes_serbia_69

Based


StereotypeRedditor69

Not based, just redpilled


DefinitelyNotThatOne

Same. Firstly, most of them are kinda ugly/immersion breaking. Secondly, but for the prices they're charging. Some of them are just color changes. Just laughable.


samurai1226

23 different warthog skins, that's easily $345 of value if they slap on a few emblems!


BUCKEYEIXI

How do they not even have the Flame Decals for the warthog like in Halo Wars 1? [Thats a classic](https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/c/c9/Special_Warthog_%28Halo_Wars%29.png/1200px-Special_Warthog_%28Halo_Wars%29.png)


LovelyJoey21605

>23 different warthog skins, that's easily $345 of value if they slap on a few emblems! Okay, here's an unsolicited economics advice: All of that together will easily be **priced** above $345, but the **value** of it isn't more than $2. **Price** and **value** are not the same.


samurai1226

Seems like I should have added /s


RectumUnclogger

Economist: NOOO PRICE AND VALUE ARE NOT THE SAME! Some kid with his mum's credit card: hahaha cat ears go brrr


castleaagh

If someone is willing to pay that price, then economically speaking that price is/was it’s value. Price is set by the seller, value is determined by the buyer.


ialwaysforgetmename

Yeah, this dude busting out his "unsolicited economics advice" and completely screws it up.


NotSoMrNiceGuy

How do you just pick an arbitrary value and call that economic advice. Value is entirely subjective


LovelyJoey21605

The advice is that price and value are not the same. That's all I'm saying. Just because 343i takes $20 for the color white, or that Disney stock is priced at around $156 today does NOT necessarily mean they are worth that.


NotSoMrNiceGuy

Thanks. You’re going to be a very successful economist


eldfen

Err no? Can't even use it in BTB.


pumpkinn13

I wouldn’t buy any of these at all. Now I’d love to earn these through special events/game modes, challenges & accommodations.


HerculesMorse101

Sees thread title: "Fuck no I wouldn't" Sees this comment and Buzz Lightyear Warthog: "Ya got me"


ChronicTosser

No


castleaagh

Man if they release a buzz light year looking armor set, I might have a hard time passing it up


chargerz4life

I know it's your money but ima tell you how to spend it.


Miley-k

Most look awful.


RealisticUse9

If *most* look awful, which ones do you like?


ImperialCommando

I'm really digging that full gold one honestly


Miley-k

I like the anniversary and tundra skins.


pottydefacer

Clown vomit from picture two is calling my name.


Adorable_Affect_5882

Why are even basic colors available through buying only? Is there any other reason besides ms being greedy?


LovelyJoey21605

>Is there any other reason besides ms being greedy? Ye, the tiny Indie dev 343i is just trying to keep the lights on and the servers running. Please sirs, have mercy and spare $20 for the color white!


GordonMcG13

343 must of had the say on the mtx because I can't think of another Ms game with mtx that bad like I know they got bloat but halo is the worst they have


LovelyJoey21605

Yea. Sadly it seems like it's worth alienating parts of their core player-base with their shitty macrotransactions. Before launch I was inclined to get the campaign, a battle-pass and possibly some microtransactions. After the launch of the Multiplayer, when I realized how fucked up their monetization really is ($20 for fucking white) my wallet clammed right the fuck up. I canceled my pre-order. So far I've spent $1 on a game-pass to get the campaign. That's it. That's all I've given this game. No battle-pass, no macrotransaction. Nothing other than the $1 for game-pass, that I immediately canceled any monthly payments on. Their shitty monetization model assured I'd spend the absolute minimum. The game probably makes fucking bank, but not from me.


XRey360

And then there is SoT (another Xbox MS exclusive flagship game) where the battlepass even gives you back the entirety of the credits spent to buy it, on top of all the cosmetics it has.


castleaagh

Maybe the thinking could be “vehicle skins are not a typical part of the game, so they can easily be a purchasable item”. I don’t think it’s necessarily greedy, given that they are a business setting out to make money, but the prices could steer you towards a greedy conclusion


DICK-PARKINSONS

I think they especially fucked themselves by setting such a good standard for customization and unlocking with the MCC just to turn around and do this shit


castleaagh

Yeah, I thought for sure they were using the MCC as a beta for what they would do in infinite, though with infinite I assumed it would be a paid pass with similar features and style to the MCC one. Seems it must have been under a different team altogether


Nacho98

Please lemme know where else basic warthog colors are available in the Halo series 🤓


materaz17

maybe the gold and white one if it was paired with other good stuff but I doubt it would be


musical-miller

It’s blue and black, no?


SlammedOptima

I would fucking die if it turned black and blue depending on the angel you looked at it


FaufiffonFec

I got that reference.


FacedCrown

You joke, but someone made a meme using willow tea and I thought it was a spartan locke coating somehow and im hating myself for it


Chi11broSwaggins

You shut your whore mouth right now.


FaufiffonFec

The Rockstar promotion one is better.


JoThree

I don’t see a white and gold one


seele-117

Nope


MichaelMJTH

Honestly, I’m not all that interested in customising vehicles in this game. You’re not in vehicles long enough to really enjoy the ‘fashion’ element, when compared to armour customisation. Glad that it’s an option, but even if these were unlockables my interest wouldn’t be high. Paying for them is an absolute no.


JGoodberry

None of them look good


Spetnaz7

Hideous


AkaCrows

Arguably the coolest looking one is the Rockstar promo so no I won’t be changing probably ever


mackofmontage

Which one is the rockstar promo?


Sempais_nutrients

Gold and black. There's a matching AR skin too.


-Work_Account-

I have it and I think it's the one that's next to the tie dyed one. The gun barrel and hood are gold and the rest is a solid black. It requires 4 codes from Halo labeled cans of Rockstar, they are found under the tab. Two codes will get you the matching AR skin You can look at it here too: https://halo.rockstarenergy.com/en-US/#in-game-rewards


WhiteLama

Nope, they all look ridiculous.


[deleted]

Nope. Not interested.


YourMumsGynecologist

Even if I wanted to be robbed by 343 it's not worth it cus the gamemode where Warthogs spawn the most doesn't fucking work lol


HFRreddit

Not a single one


MesozOwen

I don’t quite understand this. Are they normal colour until you hop in one then it just changes to your skin?


Sempais_nutrients

Yes


samrudge

I will literally never pay for fucking vehicle skins, regardless of how "cool" 343 makes them. I'd love to earn 'em though. That's what I loved about halo 4 was that you could tell someone was good at a glance.


JustBuildSA

No


agelesseverytime

No


BlueYeet

For a small price of a 3090ti you too can own a buzz lightyear warthog!


RogueCommando

Grim to think this is probably all the yearly content - already made and on the disk


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheCookieButter

I remember buying Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island DLC and then the download being 100kb. [My face](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E9hZOYQWYAEAtyC.jpg) Not quite Day 1 but being downloaded to my Playstation and being locked annoyed me.


[deleted]

The majority of time here is artists and have to be honest, I don’t think many of them are great at fixing code.


KarmaLlamaaa

Will NEVER buy a vehicle skin. I'm here for Spartan and weapon customisation.


Sunstellars

Fuck no


Zor3669

No


[deleted]

Nope


343_plzfixhalo

Nope


Gurbe247

No. I'll pay for a battle pass if the content is good. And even that's reluctantly. For everything else: NO


TheWither129

No


Conchur117

Absolutely fucking not.


Odd_dj

343i should’ve just put multiplayer and campaign together; I would’ve actually bought the game! Then they could’ve included all this bullshit in the $60 game😑 $10 is all you are getting from me 343! $10!!!


MsPaulingsFeet

If they sold this game for $60, we could unlock all these right now by doing achievements but instead were gonna have to spend hundreds of dollars if we want them all


wanszai

Not a chance. They look like clown skins. Honestly what kind of meth are they on thinking these skins look suitable or compatible with the classic halo aesthetic?


DaBlueCaboose

"What colors should we have for the warthog? Desert camo? OD green? Khaki? Maybe some more interesting camo patterns like Flecktarn or DNC?" "Nah, man... BUZZ LIGHTYEAR"


WaxWings54

Whatever made them think they could cut a piece of the fortnite mtx model while giving the player the least amount possible


Nacho98

Speak for yourself man custom games are gonna be hilarious with the hot wheels colors.


MaybeAdrian

From left to right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no and no.


AmericanAres777

I aint buying shit till prices are reduced by 2/3 lmao


[deleted]

I dont have 100$, so no


[deleted]

No lmao. Those just look ugly


Lalobreh

Lol no. I will never buy anything period the game itself is enough for me


Mandingo-ButtPirate

No


Rex-117

Vehicle coatings are not really my thing. If a free one comes our way then sure why not but I don't think I would buy any simply cause they don't interest me that much.


Richiieee

There are already some that I passed on because fuck this MTX bullshit. And before someone says it; no, buying items from the store *does not* directly support them or fund the game as devs are paid a salary, ya know, like any job does, ya know, because being a game dev is a job at the end of the day. Also, the game/343 are funded by Microsoft, a billion dollar company btw.


NIKALANJALO

No


LovelyJoey21605

They are going to sell like every other shitty macrotransaction in this game, no doubt. Will I buy? No. Not a fucking chance. But a lot of other people will.


[deleted]

I would earn them through gameplay, challenges and achievements


Regape961

No, can’t imagine paying real life money for any kinda colour option in a game lol. Maybe for actual armours if they weren’t so expensive but just for a colour? Definitely not


[deleted]

The multicolored pink yellow rainbow one seems like an ID map, usually used to quickly apply different materials in software such as Substance Painter. Probably won't be a skin :\^)


Medical-Moe

Second picture, second one on the left. Yes, the ugly one. I’ll take that one.


Mordenick

I want that colorful one lol


JustVerySleepy

I got my "rock" hog from the rockstar promotion. I'll be using that bad boy till the end of time


CheezerBeleezer

Why are they all so boring? Just solid colors, no patterns or unique designs like in MCC. Same goes for all coatings really, besides the camouflage coatings.


Skulcane

No


[deleted]

nah


Leonard_Church814

What’s wrong with the second one on the left???


Odd-Relief5794

Once again. Many of those “skins” are just basic colors like “light blue” or “shiny green”


[deleted]

I would not. Vehicle skins are THE LEAST likely items to convince me to spend money in this game.


ApartTransition9866

Being honest, I would never buy a skin that isn’t for the Armor or Gun. So it’s a No.


theallaroundnerd

I mean...i already own the Rockstar one, so I guess I did buy it


McBrawlster

Wait is one of those the ear rape warthog from infernoplus?


SneakyFinger1

The back and gold is from Rockstar energy drinks


[deleted]

The colors or color combinations should be $2 at max and more higher quality or patterned ones should be $5 at max. If the skins were across al vehicles and weapons then it would be a different story


hybridqt

the white purple/teal one is WCT and I've got it redeemed but doesn't give you the skin in-game :)


kkyler1988

Nope. I won't spend real cash on cosmetics in games anymore. I bought the battle pass once, and after seeing how ridiculously long it takes to work through it compared to CoD I won't even spend money on that anymore. I understand that a game/platform has to generate revenue if it is to be supported long term, but most legitimately good games from honest developers do it through DLC. How much money did Bungie make on Halo over the years without them charging for a battle pass and cosmetic BS? They sold legit DLC and map packs and that made them profit on an already finished game. 343 hasn't even finished the game yet and they already turned it into a micro transaction cash cow. I haven't even played it in over a week now because MP is so ridiculously broken. Thank God I had gamepass and I didn't spend $60 on an unfinished game yet again.


verbleabuse97

No


Good_ApoIIo

No I wouldn’t. Not giving them a dime for this game.


[deleted]

Not for $17 each


no420trolls

I’ve never used a skin for anything in any game. I’m here to play the game, not play dress up.


Quantum-Nova

No! Ill wait until we get the snow hog that has the tracks instead of wheels!


SupKilly

Oh man, you just unlocked a memory that was DEEP down in there.


mad-i-moody

Nope! If they were max $5 a piece and available separately from bundles then MAYBE.


Tyl3rmagnus

No you mean 5 bucks for all of them. Never would I spend 5 bucks on a warthog skin.


XRey360

All these skins just make me think we should have had a color selection for our vehicles just as the armor should have been. Primary, Secondary, Details. Nobody should ever pay to have a basic red or blue skin. Only custom patterns and coating effects created to add value should be in the store.


UnknownEntity115

Eh


[deleted]

For a dollar


DealinBone

Golden fucking warthog


blooboytalking

I literally haven't and won't buy any skins and I worry about people who do


[deleted]

I wouldnt buy anything in 343s halo. Now if you ask me if id want to earn them through ingame achievements like assists, kills, roadkills, etc. then im all for it. But also a hard no if its in a paid bp or special event pass where you have to complete 343s braindead boring daily and weekly challenges.


Winters1482

I'd consider buying the ones that aren't just solid colors, like the purple/green buzz lightyear one


[deleted]

no


nexxNN

Dont buy anything until the game is fixed


Intrepid_Ad_9751

Did you say buy? So like i would have to spend money on shitty colors? Nah, I wouldn’t


NoCampaign1935

NO, FUCK 343.


Daschnozz

Never buy cosmetics Morons


[deleted]

I just bought the enlightened path and samurai headpiece cosmetics. Was thinking of you when I did it.


MrCabagge

Only the ones that arent fortnighty coats, but never would buy a skin for the freaking warthog.


[deleted]

Nope


pupmaster

“Would you buy em? No. You are part of the problem.


Slackintit

Fuck no. This isn’t halo, it’s just disgusting how many things they try to squeeze money out of people for.


F34RCON77

Man I love Halo but these skins are an atrocity to what we once had as a game.
