We’ve seen the constant debate on the matter, and we’ve seen how ugly it can get. Please just take a moment, and cool off instead of immediately jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst from everyone in the thread. Let’s bury the hatchet on this.
The topic typically suggests to add genders which is getting misunderstood by some.
What the people making these suggestions are requesting is the addition of more body types that can be considered to have feminine characteristics, because they are of the opinion that body type that we have now is too masculine. If you stop to take a look at the body type currently in game it only slightly changes, and is essentially the same model. In short we have one body type to choose from currently.
The new body types being suggested, and the existing body types DO NOT need to be labeled as male, or female. That is not what anyone cares about. The request is only about the addition of new body types that’s all.
If there is something you still find disagreeable about new body types being added that are not labeled by gender then share your thoughts on specifically what that issue is, and let’s work out a compromise that makes everyone happy.
Edit:
It’s clear that 343i has their hands full reworking progression, fixing server issues, and so on. The intent is not to demand anything immediately, or jam this ahead of anything else.
The goal here is just to get this on the to do list, ideally after the more pressing objectives as mentioned above have been completed and deployed in working order.
When we are requesting more body types, are you just wanting more of a contrast between body sizes? Because the Armor is one size and would mostly hide that contrast… don’t you think?
Wouldn’t this also go against the lore of Spartans being trained specifically to carry their heavy armor pieces… so naturally they would be more muscular and of similar body shapes and sizes?
And how far are you willing to go? They could add super skinny and bigger muscular sizes, but then what about more rounded body sizes (yes, I mean obese)?
I’m just not that sure creating such contrast in body sizes works well in a game like Halo, where each Spartan has generally the same size of armor pieces… and equipped with the purpose of looking scary to the opposition.
Spartans don’t need to be like players. Their bodies are based on the best athletes and soldiers in the world.There are actually many references within this scope.
Or simply add a lever to let players adjust the details themselves.
All I’m requesting is something like what we had in Halo 5, 4, or Reach. Considering it’s been done three times now I don’t think lore will be of any issue.
343 should make more options for customers to choose.
I don’t know about public opinion on gender in the United States.
But as long as there are enough choices for customers, they should be able to solve the problem.
Spartans armor is tailored to the Spartan. It doesn’t make sense the UNSC would give out ill fitting armor. But regardless, we had more of a noticeable difference in the past. People are upset that is gone. I think player choice and expression are more important than any other factor. Especially when this game was marketed over and over on its customization. We were promised customization that would rival Reach, and we didn’t get it.
I did see that post, but Snicker did end it off saying “there are currently no plans to change that”.
That could potentially change in the future. It’s probably safe to assume 343i is too busy working on fixes, and content for the time being, but eventually we might see some change regarding this matter.
In the MCC versions of Reach and H4, there are two Armor sizes. So I guess this is really about should Armor sets have a Heavy and Light version like the MCC versions (Note: I don’t remember the original game’s options)
What if the body sizes in Infinite are actually noticeable as previous games, but just that they don’t change the Armor size any more… and as with many problematic aspects of the game, nobody noticed it and said anything.
I believe most of these complaints on many topics still all root at how this was released as F2P with very limited features and it seems like they tried to build the game from ground up, with poor management, missing on many past features that fans had enjoyed.
Yeah, I think if people keep voicing concerns, I imagine plans would change. Maybe it’ll take awhile, but like, I doubt they had plans to lower store prices when the game can’t out. And they didn’t plan on adding more items to Tenrai. But fan complaints caused them to change their minds.
Id rather a better armor earning system than a bigger butt for my spartan.
Male and female armor is usually very similar as it’s made for a function not to highlight sexual curves. They’re also mech suits in halo so even less reason to need a female and Male version.
Price changes didn’t happen because of feedback. They were always going to do this. It’s simmalir to trying to sell a car. You ask for a really high price then the person buying the car trys bringing you down a notch for a smaller price. You say yes and you get what you want without sacrificing your original plan. They are playing us
I’m not trying to ask for anything unreasonable. The last 3 games had more variety in terms of body types, and that is all that is being requested to return. Nobody is demanding that there be an armor set that is only the under suit with no armor, or something ridiculous as that.
Yeah I get what you mean but the actual armor etc. Should be the main priority atm. Without paying you earn basically nothing, I get it’s a ftp but In order to get a decent armor collection you need to spend a ridiculous amount of $ over hundreds.
So armor etc. First, then different body types if we must. But imo it’s not necessary
I fully agree that there are bigger priorities than body types right now. Namely server bugs as well as what you mentioned. The F2P path is laughably barren.
