343, whats your response to the community as a whole finally taking notice of the watchdogs coating issue

This is all happening due to HCS, the weapon coating issue and it all points to the sentinels coating, its aggrovating to say the least.

Sorry, but I don’t get it. The sentinels armor coating is white with a red arm. The original 152 armor coating was metallic/silver with red accents.

Sentinels weapon coating is white, red and black if I’m not mistaken. The HCS weapon coatings are mainly black and a bit of white, red and blue.

How are they related or alike? Did sentinels ask 343 to change the watchdog coatings?

Man I think youve been out of the loop for a while, mind blitz made a video recently that showcases what I mean if you need context.

Proudly going to be the person who gets this post to 152 views!

Tapeless, I think you know my thoughts more then well enough already.

I’ve cancelled it before it renewed as well. Just using up the time I have left.

Although, I can’t even do that with Halo, because it won’t let me continue my save. I’ll run out of time before anything is fixed.

I hate the path 343 have taken with this game, missing features and issues, so they will not see a cent from me.

Great to know that us SR 152 do think alike.

Ahem. I had to beat all the campaigns on Legendary for Helioskrill, thank you very much.

Ok, ok, I didnt mean to give it a bad conotation to the achievement. :sweat_smile:

What? No, I have seen his video. He thinks the HCS weapons skins that drop now are too similar to the Watchdog weapon coatings. I just want to know what Sentinels have to with all of this. Did they ask 343 to do something? Is it something else?

Its more of an assumption that hasnt been debuckled, whenever 343 is asked for most things theyll do a 180 to change an incorrect idea.

For these past 2 months the single clean white/black/red armor coating was Sentinels, same body separation and same tones. At no moment have they said anything to these claims that are also now supported with HCS having this situation with the weapon coating.

My problem is primarily to 343, wether Sentinels asked for this to be the case or the 343 staff decided this to increase the sells by making it the only clean white is something that in the end does not affect the underlining point: 343 changed rewards under the single objective of exchanging prestige for monetary value, in the form of cash or views in Twitch.

They whole coating system is messed up. No I don’t mean monetization or cross core. I mean
Many promotional items are broken or delayed
HCS on top of being a slightly changed watchdog, is also broken for alot of people.
The pre-order bonuses are also broken for many people!
Its one thing to make a scummy monetized coating system. Its another when it doesn’t even work most of the time either and waste our time and money!!!

Oh right Jorges shoulder pad too. Yeah something aint right with it. The pallet for preview also doesnt represent the actual color separation.

Oh not just that.
In case you haven’t seen one of my countless replies I always bring up the Zeta Sky situation.
The people who pre-ordered from walmart never got their codes. Apparently microsoft never sent them to Walmart.
In my situation I pre-ordered from Amazon and everything went fine. Each store has differet weapon coating and come with the Zeta Sky armor coating, and the Chosen nameplate. My weapon coating is the commando. My girlfriend ordered through gamestop. Gamestop was supposed to have the AR skin and the armor, and nameplate. However, she only got a sidekick skin. No armor. No nameplate. BUT Waypoint redemption history says she redeemed the AR skin! And she isn’t the only one!
You can go back and re-read some forum posts I made. I’ve made Zeta Sky my personal cruscade since we pre-ordered specifically for it! Its the reason I don’t use the steam version of the game! But yeah, 2 months post ā€œlaunchā€ and they still haven’t fixed their mess-up. Or mentioned anything about it.

Oh Ive seen you in a few but it does sound like something that would happen, just last week they also messed up the promotion for the cosmetic set that had a purple. They ended up getting Forza codes UnU.

Yup. Believe me, that happened with my GF too…

That sucks, hopefully something can be done in your case. 343 just doesnt seem to have thought the coating system through.

I don’t care about the weapon skins we got from Watchdog. The random red blotches on the black and white ruined what would’ve been a cool coating. I just hope they fix the armor coating. The emblem, and the armor coating is all I care about.

Theres not much to do about the weapon coating now but alongside fixing the armor coating, at least give somethinf else, is a helmet too much to ask?

I saw the comparison between the HCS weapon skins and the 152. They’re pretty much identical. Having something else replace those would be nice. We’re not even a year in, and the grind to 152 is already being made a waste of time.

Yeah, tell me about it UnU.
