Oh you’re right. Its actually quite obvious now. You’re not apathetic. You care too much. Which is why you’re wasting you’re time discussing this trite with me and not spending any on the issue at hand which isnt really that big of a deal but one that this community has rapidly thrown so far out of proportion I dont even know what the proportions were.

Anyway do you wanna like… continue or not because I’m not interested in discussing the semantics of apathy.

60 colors each for two color slots gives us 60*60=3600 color combinations. Unless some colors are only available for primary or secondary, I haven’t played 5 in 5 years.

It’ll be whatever the number of colours there are, squared. I don’t know how many colours there are in Halo 5 off the top of my head, but 1770 doesn’t have an integter square root, so I’m going to go with 1770 not being the true number of combinations.

There are no semantics here. You were wrong, plain and simple. Everyone makes mistakes, so there’s no fault there, but you aren’t justified in now trying to act superior to online discussion, especially considering you’ve literally just partaken in it.

This “discussion” started because of you, but I do agree that this was a waste of my time, seeing as you seem ignorantly stubborn and hypocritical.

I see were the issue is. This algorithm treats “red primary/yellow secondary” and “yellow primary/red secondary” as the same thing and having primary and secondary as the same colors are not included at all. You need to simply use 60x60. So there is WAY MORE combinations then that!

They’ll probably add the option to pick the color itself for the coating as a “feature” down the line :frowning:

Makes sense:

1770 ×2 = 3540
since there are 60 combinations of having the same colour as primary and secondary,
3540 + 60 = 3600

So, 3600 is the final number of skins required to have the same colour combination options for our armour as we had in Halo 5, in Halo Infinite. If these skins cost even a £1/$1…Well, I’m not going to insult anyone’s intelligence.

And just like that, I want to reply.

Or a system like Warframe where they give you the basic colors on a color pallete, and then expect you to buy the rest of the colors on that same pallette and to buy more color palletes to customize yourself further.

See, that works in Warframe because the game is surprisingly even-handed for a free to play game. I have high doubts Halo Infinite will be as free as Warframe is.

Regardless of the problem with color coatings, I think that infinite can still be a fun game, seeing how 343i has handled mcc, shows us that they do try to care about the community wants. The armor coating is Microsoft’s way of getting more money, plain and simple. 343 has seen our complaints, now it’s just a matter of what Microsoft does.

343 desperately needs better communication between their community and them, and their announcement plus the numerous threads across the internet about the announcement are the best proof of that.

alright mates why dont yall both just shut up and stop responding to each other jesus. You both are aggravating me.

Please don’t mess this up 343. Locking out custom armor colors with “coatings” being the only option would be a huge slap in the face to Halo fans. Walk this back please, or correct any misinformation we have received.

> Regardless of the problem with color coatings, I think that infinite can still be a fun game, seeing how 343i has handled mcc, shows us that they do try to care about the community wants. The armor coating is Microsoft’s way of getting more money, plain and simple. 343 has seen our complaints, now it’s just a matter of what Microsoft does.

Don’t forget that it took years for the MCC to be remotely playable, and that true customisation options for Halo 4 still haven’t been accomplished yet, as of typing this. We only got it Halo 3 this year. That’s six years after release. Thirteen years after the launch of Halo 3. If so, I’ll be buying Infinite in 2027 (along with TES VI).

Yes, but how much will it cost?

The fact that we need to stir up a massive voice to get 343i to NOT screw their customers over is insane.
I’m not touching this game whatsoever if practices like this are allowed to be implemented, and I implore others to do the same.

Yet I almost feel like 343 cares more about the fans they hope to win through this game then the loyal fans who stuck with Halo despite their shortcomings.

If “loyal” means quick to criticize with no intention to learn more, then yeah, Halo has a very loyal fanbase!

They admit in the post it’ll be controversial, and then decided to give us the bare minimum details as though this is something we’d be excited about. No. You don’t do that, and then expect all the fans to just sit quietly. Making such a change needs suitable justification, and absolutely none has been offered.

Why would you post this, and try to get involved…? You’re not a moderator, and I’m pretty sure that they weren’t going to reply to my last post anyway. You’re perpetuating this further.

If some stranger correcting some other stranger’s incorrect understanding of a word, and that other stranger being ignorantly stubborn and rude to the stranger aggravates you, you should probably take a time out.

> Based off of Halo 5’s color palette, 343 would need to make 1,770 different coatings to satisfy every color combination. This doesn’t factor in if someone dislikes a pattern or a material on the coating. Too many variables, and too much work on their end to deem it a step forward.

> Giving us the option to customize all of those seven layers would be a step forward. I’d even settle for just being able to choose the colors on the coatings.

Exactly. There are so many unique options that it would create more work on their part. Also, its just another preset that I will see someone else use. More work on their part all in all.

Completely agree. Words mean nothing without action, and business only listens to money. Unless this is changed, or that this whole thing is a misunderstanding that can be better clarified, then don’t support this practice. Don’t support the game.
