Well, from what I was told:

Not to mention this is the 3rd season of The Exchange and you can access all the content from The Exchange of the other 2 seasons from your customization screen. So no, The Exchange current offerings aren't "a bit limited" since you are just ignoring literally 2/3 of the content you can buy with your free Spartan Points, lol

You can?? Blimey, I'll have to boot up my Xbox and go see for myself, 'cause I'd love to be giving 343 Industries some due credit for a blinkin' change. Now, if only they could go back to The Exchange for The Master Chief Collection and tidy it up like once before to a similar standard ("Law's End" hasn't ever been available once, never mind the numerous Seasonal Challenge items such as "Avalanche [Sniper Rifle, Halo 3]", "Blast [Battle Rifle, Halo 4]" & "Blood [D.M.R, Halo 4]" that have never entered it as once-intended or the Exchange-Exclusives that have never made their return).

Like, I can see the items that my silly ass forgot to buy before the rotation 'ended'. Like the big Needler attachment for the head that is compatible for every Mark VII helmet (and also JUST Kat's helmet for the Mark V B), and just buy it right now with my Spartan Points without a problem. Is honestly such a good feature that I really wished the MCC had for those items that take 2 years to come back, or for those items in general that just never came back in general lol.

Good grief, if only the Halo Infinite Shop and/or the not-in-the-passes items could operate in the same manner as well.

Still, if this actually means that people can fetch the 20th Anniversary items, certain Mirage Core SPI Armour chest-rigs & knee-pads, weapon models like The Surgeon[www.halopedia.org] and other "Oh, just throw it into The Exchange" items indefinitely, I'll at least give 343 Industries credit for making a rare step in the right direction in respecting their players and/or customers.

Otherwise, unless I am mistaken (I could be, as I don't play the game & only check in every now & then), it might be rotating with every month or with each release of an Operation. Hopefully, what I was told was true & all of the older arrivals aren't simply vanishing like a lot of what the Shop offers frequently does or what a notable portion of what was or should be in The Exchange for The Master Chief Collection has.

None of the old items in the Infinite exchange store are expiring so far, and they said they wouldn't be.

it's really sad....this game is so great on the battlefield. It can be stunning and in my opinion is the best Arena shooter at the moment...Nothing else really comes close. 343 is a such an inept developer in many regards. Probably the worst "legacy" devs these days. ....


Actually nevermind...there are quite a few worse established devs than these guys these days....but they're still real bad

Grand! Let's hope it stays that way and whoever's running the Shop or deciding what people can buy & when they can starts following that example. That, and somebody remembers that The Exchange in The Master Chief Collection could seriously do with a good tidying up (We do have our workarounds[www.nexusmods.com], but that's only good for anybody with a device that can run the game with Easy Anti-Cheat Disabled).

They do have a tendency to, for all of the good work that their development staff and/or support studios otherwise actually do (The patches to Halo: The Master Chief Collection following it's Xbox One X upgrade & later PC Port such an example I would point toward), find a way to overshadow it by doing some truly, sometimes shockingly daft things that I suspect not nearly as many are on behalf of Xbox Game Studios and/or Microsoft above them as we'd think (I really hope that, if whoever was calling the shots regarding the progression & the use of The Exchange for The Master Chief Collection was outside of the oddly-named '343 Publishing Team' maintaining it, developers within it too thought that it was about as cretinous & shortsighted as I do, not that they'd likely be listened to if they even did speak up about it), sometimes more than once like they sincerely forgot about the first time it didn't work (Then again with how hard they've been hit by prior layoffs and how many people came & went beforehand, it's very possible that the same mistakes are being made by very different people).

But, in all seriousness, there really are much worse companies to be doing business with. Nevertheless, there are those, by all appearances, doing well for themselves by being much better to do business with, some of them even under Xbox Game Studios and/or Microsoft's corporate umbrella (I haven't seen Ori and The Will of The Wisps arrive on GOG as Psychonauts 2 did, but even nu-Perfect Dark so far looks to be not requiring a Microsoft Account as Gears Of War: E-Day has been immediately disclosed as requiring) and I don't think 343 Industries is too disadvantaged or below authority to find at least a few ways of improving things on their end, if not at least noticeably reduce how much their irritate their customers and/or player-base.
