I’ve waited over 6 months just to be able to recreate my CQC Spartan from Halo: Reach, and there’s still no indication of when it will be made available to players. There are at least 5 unreleased store bundles for the Mark V [B] armor alone, including CQC, JFO, Recon, Commando, and Security shoulders.
I remember 343 mentioning in a Season 2 live stream that they wanted players to be able to earn classic armor rather than just buy it. How do they intend to make that work? More armor lockers to find in the campaign? Commendations in multiplayer? Maybe bring back the 20 missing tiers from the Season 1 Battle Pass?
At this point, I’d rather they just release the armor for free to anyone who purchased the Season 1 Battle Pass since they were supposed to be in the pass in the first place. Reward loyal fans by giving back the armor we were supposed to be able to unlock in Season 1. Don’t make us wait until Season 3 to be able to unlock the armor that was supposed to be unlockable 6 months ago.
This right here, I’ve been waiting on the CQC Bundle Because it has pieces of Armor I used like the Knee pads, Shoulder & Chestpiece, it amazes how 343 won’t even go out & say “Hey they’re still available soon”
Many of us are still waiting on CQB. It was IN THE REVEAL TRAILER. 343 couldnt be so oblivious and scatterbrained to have forgotten to add the helmet. Every day that passes that its not in the game is just hurting my personal view of 343 that much more.
It was very strange how they decided to go with Halo 3’s design for the ODST helmet.
Wish they’d have just done the same with Recon, with 3’s super serious expression visor and sweet sharp angles.
Yeah I was honestly never sure whether I liked Reach’s or 4’s better, reach’s just looks super round and bland, while 4’s was the opposite issue but with a cooler face; I always just wanted it to be 3’s recon again.
Yeah, I know, it just saddens me that I can’t recreate my Reach Spartan. I just find it weird that they went with the H3 design when they went with Reach on all the other ones.
I find the H3 variant to look goofy, mainly because of the top portion being so wide, as well as the stripe if you can even call it a stripe at that point. Reach’s ODST is the peak design in my opinion.
At least it’s none of 343s designs of the helmet, they’ve butchered it in all of their games so far.
Agree with you, but the last point I don’t. Aside from Nightfall in Halo 5 and ODST in Halo 4, Buck’s helmet and Firefall both look really nice. I use both. But yes, every other actual ODST helmet was complete trash.
I forgot about Firefall, it’s 343s first ODST design that I haven’t hated. It’s kinda like a mix between the H2 and H3 designs, with a more angular look.
I’m in the exact same boat as you here, I think. My MKV Spartan is the exact same as my Reach Spartan aside from the Helmet and I’m dying to know what’s going to happen with the CQC helmet in Infinite
Blockquote CQB was in the trailer, still not here. I don’t care which core we get it on. It showed the reach version but that version was wearable in halo 5. So it could be either or both. I would pay to see both halo 3 and reach CQB return.
It’s for the Mark V [B] armor core, as was shown in the pre-release screenshots and trailers. I can’t believe it’s still not in the game after it was so heavily promoted. Unlike CQC, it’s not even linked to any of the datamined store bundles, so I don’t know what the hell they’re doing with it.
I’m afraid that even when they release the armor pieces I want I still will never touch it because the color/coat set up I want to use ( red and purple ) will never be a thing and I really don’t like any of the options given for the Mark V armors to use over my Mark VII Spartan.
