After being lucky enough to play the Infinite flight, I hold it in a very high regard. For me the gameplay hearkened back to classic Halo, but also manages to feel fresh and new. The main point is that it feels like Halo and more importantly its just dang fun to play!
However, the only 1 gripe I have are the armour coatings. Personally I would rather have the normal 2 colour system as a base level of customisation, but still include the armour coatings for additional colours and patterns.
Opinions?
I thought the coatings were fine honestly. They give decent base options and then begin to branch out and deviate.
There are a couple things they could do. Maybe have 1 default coating that allows you to pick colors. That could satisfy the people that want their Spartans in specific colors.
Another thing I was thinking was the ability for them to unlock coatings for the user to make minor changes. Like keeping the same colors but being able to inverse the scheme or like make both arms of Scorpion Punch orange. But that kinda detracts from the purpose of the coatings too much I think.
It’s extremely disappointing and damages player expression so much.
Getting to combine our own colours has been part of Halo since before we could even customise the armour. I would never have guessed that they would remove that feature.
