Now, we all know how horrendous the coatings are. limiting how the playing can customize their spartan’s colors. but one argument, that even i want to happen, that everyone wants is for the coatings to be more material and pattern changes to colors that the player chooses. which is fair, until you realize… they’ve already done that… and it’l be worse.
so if you look at the details. HSC coatings are more clean, silky smooth. whiles with widow tea for example, it’s more dusty and well used. so clearly the coatings already have materials to them, making the armor look better or worse given the colors… but that means, certain coatings will return, but ‘better looking’. for example, maybe there’l be a HSC skin that’s the same as all the others, but rather than being smooth, it’l be all rusty looking. same copy and paste but with more dust and grime. same thing could happen to the other coatings like willow teal. rather than looking dusty, 343 could re-release the same coating but more cleaner looking
samething goes with patterns. like the camo pattern in the BP (i forgot the name since i don’t care) they could re-release that coating in the shop or BP, except! it’l be different colors for the same pattern AND each different color for the same pattern would have two variants that’l be dusty or clean looking.
meaning for say a camo armor coating… you could have exact same camo coating that’s blue and yellow, but two of them since one is dusty and the other is clean. then the camo is copy and pasted but with blue and orange, so on and so forth… 1 coating alone could be copy and pasted hundreds of times with a slight difference to fill up the shop and BP to make it LOOK like there’s content, when it’s just the same thing
