Ok gonna be honest I’m not liking the armor coating idea after it was just revealed it’s replacing the old Primary/Secondary system. I’m fine with weapon and vehicle coatings as it makes them a little more personal but the armor coating just feels like an excuse to force people to use microtransactions(not that the other two aren’t either) to get the coating they want rather then simply select a color or pattern. It makes me question whether or not to buy Infinite as it seems like 343 has no idea how to handle it, one moment we’re getting old school customization and classic artstyle, the next they’re replacing old weapons with bland designs and free coloring with obvious microtransactions.
Hell it wouldn’t be that hard to improve the older system anyway, just add more color options like Metallic, Pearlescent and Matte along with the ability to color the undersuit and give it patterns and you’d be set.
