This thread serves as a plea for clear and concise clarification on the core issues the community has with the coating system. This is an opportunity for someone at 343i to sidestep misleading marketing leading to another controversy. With the repeated lip service of listening to the player base, met with actions entirely counter to the sentiment expressed in statements made we’d appreciate some transparency for a change.
-
Can I choose my primary. Secondary and tertiary colours from a set of options comperable to prior title, without unlocking any coatings before playing a single round of slayer? Yes or no
-
Are coatings camos and designs with selectable colour options as opposed to preset colour skins? Yes or no
-
Are coatings peice specific, ie can I choose a coating for each individual armour peice? Yes or no
-
How do the 7 layers work?
-
If coatings are purchasable via in game store does this mean armours are only acquired by in game unlocks and never with currency?
Please answer, the games was to release quite soon it is unreasonable to claim these systems aren’t close to if not already final. It’ll be sad to see halo adopt destiny’s formula warts and all especially when spartan ops beat bungie to the punch and H5G abandoned the ground work only for infinite to roll back on its direction once again. This makes it hard to interpret marketing speak as phrases have new meanings with each new creative team on board. Honesty would be appreciated on this core aspect of the franchise and how 343i plans on changing it. Especially seeing as 4 did it so well and 5 so poorly. Show the fan base some respect and discuss or reveal the customisation in full. This peice by peice marketing only causes damage as the community argue over frafmental peicemeal info drops that lack the necessary fine detail for constructive feedback.
