The body type option is completely redundant
It changes next to nothing
Body type 1 lets you see behind the armour even which is just insanely lazy
Back in the flights I was under the impression the 3 body types in the game were meant to be 3 masculine ones with there being an extra 3 ones for a more feminine appearance in final but it doesn’t seem to be the case
I’m glad the current types are at least androgynous enough for it to not bother me but I can’t help but wish for more variety.
I agree with you, I would like to see more base line customization in general. On a positive note, remember that this is a beta build, so the potential for way more core content at launch is very much a thing.
Yeah, I wish more people would speak up about this, the body type variety is… well there is no variety. it’s boring. It should be very low on 343’s priority list, but it should be there.
I personally don’t see the need for different body types, and to be honest, even female Spartans.
In the books all the Spartans pretty much look the same, the armor size doesn’t change for females. It’s the same exact armor that the males wear, just on a different body. It’s not specifically made to point out a female’s behind like in all the other halo games.
It’s definitely the most feminine one yeah.
I just wish it at least changed the armour. Looks too big for the body on that type to me
Ideally I’d love something more like Halo 5 in terms of build but with the gear and quality textures this game has but I don’t think it needs to go as far as that to be better
forgot to add but i think the intent with the 3 options was that type 0 is male, 1 female and 2 seems to be inbetween both so likely meant to be the androgynous one.
Yeah definitely.
I’m trans MTF and it feels so much more comfortable to play games when I can present more feminine so I hope they change things at some point
This is why I find the defense that its for ‘inclusion’ so weird. I didn’t realize inclusion meant making everyone look like dudes (though I still don’t find 2 bad).
Agreed, how hard was it to just add a third body type but leave the previous two okay (Prior to the MCC patch that replaced all the genders for the previous games). Aside from Body Type 1, there is very little difference in the types for females, and that’s being positive and kind!
Not to mention none of the armors conform to the Spartan underneath, which the body types actually change. I would prefer more diversity and more conformity. Or at least give more feminine body types (Like Kat from Reach, or Vale/Palmer from H4/H5).
I DO like how the glove suit/undersuit for the Spartans is thicker and actually gives a sort of space protective feel like those of an Astronaut’s suit. However, that’s one of the few, if not only positive I could reliably give.
Key points: Need more variety, more conformity.
Key points 2: NEED am ACTUAL FEMALE-esque Body Type/Gender!
Yeah rn it feels like the armour is too big for the person wearing it which, as far as im aware isn’t even accurate as i think the armour is tailor made for each spartan in lore.
I really just want to have a Halo 4/5 type build with the amazing textures and reach style armour parts Infinite has
