Now before you start saying " you want armor to be randomly unlocked in loot boxes, boo! " let me get my actual message out there. The way customization is earned should be similar to halo 5. What do I mean by this? Lets breakdown how we could unlock helioskrill and the preorder bonuses. Helioskrill was an armor set that players could earn by completing the main four halo campaigns on legendary, for the time that was the only way to earn this armor until the halo 5 update: Hammer Storm brought two other variants into the req pool.
The preorder bonuses for this game involved several visor colors and most notably the hunter armor which was a GameStop exclusive. The hunter armor did not receive any variations like the helioskrill armor did through out the life span of halo 5 so the only way to unlock the set was to preorder or get lucky through the loot packs. I don’t like loot boxes and the armor randomly earned system, what I thought was excellent about how halo 5 handled its customization was that very little was time gated or exclusive, the hunter armor could have been unlocked later through the req packs and helioskrill was still earnable after halo 5 launched giving everyone ample time to play the campaigns and earn the armor. there is also a huge list of emblems and visors that could be earned this was as well.
Halo infinite has had a rocky start to how the promotional cosmetics have been earned, The monster energy skins and emblems seem to have been region locked keeping many from unlocking the other skins besides the snapchat battle rifle, the Chips Ahoy! and other snack packs still have not been found in my area and I believe it is now to late to earn any of those cosmetics, and the showcase of the SR 152 rewards being shown have me asking. Please let customization function similar to how it was done in halo 5.
I will admit I am a completionist so the idea of exclusive unlocks doesn’t sit well with me and Halo 5 spoiled me with not need to sell my car to unlock many of the cosmetic items.
Bad take, armor should be unlocked via achievements and earned with credits that you get from playing the game normally

Yes, that’s what I want I just don’t want them to to time gate the cosmetics. if you read the whole I pretty much said: “I want to be able to earn the achievement and promotion cosmetics after infinite drops, I don’t what anything time gated or exclusive.” With that being said I still want to opportunity to earn the watchdog coating after halo infinite launches

You should have said that specifically, it sounded like you were defending RNG lootboxes. Sadly 343 will probably have exclusives and time gated customization, welcome to modern gaming with a lackluster developer.
armor should not be time-gated. Some coatings, emblems, weapon skins? if they want to sure. Armor though should never be time gated

I apologize I found the transition that makes it appear that way and I will adjust it, but I do have to say that it seems some misunderstanding was on your end as I said “What was excellent about this system that very little was time gated or exclusive, the hunter armor could have been unlocked later through the req packs and helioskrill was still earnable after halo 5 launched giving everyone ample time to play the campaigns and earn the armor. there is also a huge list of emblems and visors that could be earned this was as well.” so in essence I did say what I was looking for

aye, fair enough
I much rather have armor unlock by credits or by completing an achievement by playing the game.
