Fans of Halo Infinite are criticizing the game's in-game cosmetics shop for offering a skin that pays tribute to the original Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved, at a price that is twice the cost of the entire game itself. The shift to a free-to-play multiplayer model with microtransactions and season passes has not been well-received by the community, and the limited customization options for the skin have also drawn complaints. Players are advised to opt for buying and playing the original Halo: Combat Evolved instead, as it offers a more enjoyable experience than a pricey skin.
Bungie almost scrapped the iconic Scorpion tank from Halo: Combat Evolved during its rushed development for the original Xbox's launch in 2001.
