343 Industries drops Mister Chief bundle for Halo Infinite

The Mister Chief bundle is easily the most expensive item in the store rotation this week. Judging from the reactions, fans aren't happy. For what you paid for the bundle, you only get a weapon charm, vehicle decal, and a new AI model. Many believe that 343 should pad the bundle with more content for the same price. In particular, long-time series fans pointed out how you could get three AI models for just $10 in Halo 5.

To make matters worse, AIs don't play a significant role in Halo Infinite's multiplayer experience. You can use it for callouts and the occasional quip, but outside of these uses, the AIs don't have much use.

With that said, we're curious to find out just how much backlash the Mister Chief DLC will get. We already know that 343 is willing to compromise and admit to its mistakes. If there are enough people who complain, 343 might bring down the price of the Mister Chief bundle or add more or perhaps do even both.
