I know that armor coatings have fans split iv been a halo fan since halo ce like many of yous I dont wanna see the classic color customization system go but I’m willing to give the armor coatings a chance what if we have both options in the game so players can choose Weather they wanna keep it old school with customizing their colors or use the armor coatings
I’m new to Halo and I’ve really only played H5 so I have particular attachment to the classic customization so I’m definitely willing to give the armor coating idea a chance. I’ve said this in one of my replies before and I’m gonna say it again, 343i and Bungie are different developers so I like how they aren’t going the same route as Bungie did and are doing different things and trying out different game mechanisms, I think it gives them somewhat of a personality.
My issue with armor coatings comes down to the old saying: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
There was nothing wrong with the primary/secondary color system, and forcing players to pick between specifically designed armor color combinations feels like less customization instead of more. I should add that I don’t like weapon skins, and armor coating just feels like another version of weapon skins, but for armor instead of weapons.
I might feel different about it if they let be bind a separate coating to every armour piece, I don’t think that will happen though.
My colours are blue and white. If I have 1 blue and white coating, 1 blue coating and 1 white coating, that way I actually get some creative freedom. I might even like that. But they are gonna have to make a lot of coatings to make everyone satisfied anyway.
I think it will work with skins or shaders, like you have an BF4 camouflage skin.
Like you can make your camouflage white-grey snowy-like.
But I have a bad feeling, that you might have to buy some of them too
Hey there, let’s keep conversations about coatings to this thread, thanks!
