Personally, I hate the “nameplate”-style emblem system. As it exists in H5, it’s little more than a filler item to pad REQ packs, and offers far less “uniqueness,” despite there being so many of them, imo. I realize some people probably prefer it, but all it does is make me miss the old-style emblems from Bungie-era Halo.
I’m sure it’s pretty low on 343’s list of priorities, but if they’re going with a “classic” (read: nostalgic) style for Infinite, I know a classic emblem+background system would definitely be a small but solid way to scratch that nostalgia itch- especially if 343 brought back all the classic emblem options.
I’m actually curious to see if anyone else even cares! It’s such a comparatively small issue, but I really would be excited to see Infinite revert to the classic emblem system.
Yes, I miss the old emblem structure where you can make your own emblem with background rather than waiting to unlock the ones you want in Halo 5. They could give you the option to equip your own emblem to your weapon camo if necessary even if it’s animated emblem. The nameplates from Reach should also return in the form of unlocking them from which Halo games you have played or the achievements you have accomplished in them

I hope for the realizing of your idea the Chief is back!
Yeh have to agree…the name-plate system in Halo 5 is pretty bad since in it’s current state it just doesn’t make any sense. It’s like I have my classic Skull that I use through most Halo games, yet it forces me with a name-plate that makes no sense next to my emblem. Emblems, name-plates customisation should be separate plus I’d prefer if they gave us the option to create our own emblems/nameplates in Infinite.
The h5 emblems look cool but I really miss being able to customize and personalize them. I’d like the old emblem system to return but as for nameplates I’d like the option to customize those as well
not too much personalization though, otherwise we’ll start to get CoD emblems, though being able to shrink or reposition whjat we do have + some other options like in H2 + new ones would make mne ecstatic.

I’m on the same page as you, yeah. Too much customization isn’t the way to go, either, IMO.
The classic emblem system had a ton of charm, as it was. There were still enough options that most people had unique emblems, but everything still felt “familiar,” you know?
Microtransactions are confirmed for Halo Infinite. I can almost guarantee 343 are going to be scummy again and give us the poxy emblems they did in Halo 5.
I hope so. I miss my Phoenix & shield emblem. It also adds uniqueness to the game, something H5 lacked when it came to emblems. Also, most the weapon skins were god awful.
A fantastic idea!
This applies to everything Halo 5 did and the laziness that was involved with customization.
I’m sure they will allow you to make your own emblems, as well as customize every bit of your armour like the old games.
I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t.
Halo 5 provided no real customization but the helmet and armour, and you literally had to choose your emblem rather then make it.
How about keep all the assets for the armour and emblems and allow us to cycle through them in a real customization system.
But I’m sure we don’t need to ask for this, it’s a given thing, why would they repeat what didn’t work for Halo 5?
Well, traditional 2 layered emblem system would be the system i would be fine with. With every emblem unlocked and with the background/foreground system players could get little bit of personality before they can unlock new armor.
Though emblem system could also have more layers and more customization options like moving and scaling different layers. Obviously such system should be monitored but it could allow for more options for those who wish to spend time creating a more personal emblem.
Yeah, I loved the variety custom emblems bring to player customization, adding the ability to toggle one of the layers was a small stroke of genius, too. It also makes for some hidden gems when people experiment with it more, like the 4 diamonds + runes ninja star looking one from H2/3
