343, please, please let us use kit pieces outside of the kit itself.
Customization is a huge draw, and after spending money on this game, I feel significantly less invested in it since it halts any desire to progress. I could unlock more armor, but what’s the point if it negates my real-money purchase. Vice versa applies too. Why would I spend real world money when it directly disincentivizes the progression I’ve already made.
I love Halo, and I know you guys can do much better (and get a few more bucks out of me, if you can make this system work please!)
