or yknow, 343 shouldnt be scummy, thats probably better
Try out the Waypoint glitch. I thought there were more issues with chest pieces too, but it really does look like some would need some slight changes to coordinates to work, but most work just fine when swapped between MK VII and MK V [B]. Most it seems like they would have to do nothing at all.
There is one, possibly two exceptions to this. Jun’s chest piece can’t work with the MK VII. The changes to the back of the chest are too drastic. It would take too much work that it’s probably be simpler to start from scratch. The other issues that I could potentially see is with Jorge’s, but due to the limited angles in Waypoint I can’t see behind the collar to check is the back of the armor causes any issues. I don’t have time to upload images of every chest pieces, but I have tested everyone I can (a few I don’t have unlocked won’t display), but I can link to this Reddit thread which shows off three Mk V chests working on bots wearing MK VII with no noticeable issues:

Making a videogame that has a $500 Million budget a free-to-play rather than a paid game experience results in scummy business tactics because the company now must make $500 Million PLUS at least a 20% bonus of that return within a fiscal year for the company big-wigs to determine it to be a successful product.
Look at Fortnite? Free battle-royale experience that wasn’t even supposed to exist as the game was a cartoonish zombie-shooter.
The battle-royale service got surprisingly popular, which resulted in the giving us what amounts to NFTs in the form of skins that barely change all while asking players to pay $20 for one because it is in the top-rarity/obligatory gold section and the birth of the parasitic battle-pass system that everyone adopts rather than an actual progression system.
All because no-one wanted to play the PvE zombies mode that the game was originally going to be all about.
Halo Infinite has done the same thing in a sense.
- Free PvP experience.
- $60 optional story experience
- Battle-pass and a wallet-philtering shop experience that has kids going for their parent’s credit cards.
Heck, they even fought to make the game have a Teen rating to get more kids into the game just so that whole bit of kids finding Mom and Dad’s cards would be more likely to net them money, because children have loose morals and no sense of self-control or consequences.

I have no intention of quitting a game I enjoy, but I won’t stay silent about obvious problems that take a game with the most potential since Halo 1 and could halt the momentum.
Simple solution, everything that doesn’t clip/float or only clips a little bit can be made crosscore, everything else is locked to its core. Makes everyone happy

So basically just coatings, visor colors, and helmets.
Everything else runs the risk of being incompatible with at least one other core, either like the ones that do already or the ones that will release in the future.

Well Recruit colors being on MK VII and MK V [B] implies crosscore between just two cores is possible. They could open up more crosscore between the two. MK VII was clearly based on MK V [B] in some regards, so it makes sense. Future cores, yeah Helmets, Visors and coatings makes the most sense. Honestly though, anything is better than what we have.

Lmao. You can’t argue for the sake armor authenticity in a game that has space weebs and cat ears in the same match. Having 1 or 2 goofy helmets/armors was one thing, but 343 showed they don’t give a crap about authenticity the moment they put Vikings and Knights in Halo 3.
I’m not sure about the ‘authenticity’ thing the argument is about. Unless you are arguing about authenticity to Halo 1, or something like that - which I’m not too young to remember, but IIRC it wasn’t available on PC back then, so I didn’t play it (plus I used to be more RPG and strategy kind of player).
I however could argue, that people who spend a lot of time fighting a war, that being their trade and their life pretty much, could want to customize their armours in probably most varied ways possible - one likes ancient history, other likes cats, hence cat ears, another one likes military streamlined simplicity and wears basic armour just with different emblem or colouring.
And while militaries of the world like uniformity it isn’t atypical for soldiers in the field to customize their outfits and vehicles to make them unique and ‘their own’, and it is good for morale, so it may be overlooked while in the field, not in the barracks or on parade.
You saying there weren’t space Viking robots in 2552?

What? No, Halo had an authenticity to its armor roster that believably fit the aesthetics of each fictional setting, even Halos 4 & 5. Halo 3 introduced us to custom armor and it all fit the design, Even Hayabusa looked like a believable Spartan variant with the only goofy stuff being a katana (which took 1,000 gamer score to unlock) and the Bungie chest piece (exclusive to employees). From Halo Reach onwards we got a little more experimental in the form of armor effects but once again, only one goofy piece of armor, the Haunted attachment (once again a mark of great achievement). Halo 4 only had the Fotus set (special edition console add on IIRC) and Halo 5 Helioskrill and that pig helmet (both still rare rewards for great achievement).
Over Halo’s entire history each game’s armor was authentic to the title and universe; nothing looked out of place with rare exceptions that had more purpose than money behind them. Only in recent with the Master Chief Collection being a testbed for Infinite’s cosmetic lineup has this trend been subverted and not for the better.

Like I said, if it doesn’t clip or only clips a little bit, it is fine. They can make them available to certain cores, like 1 chest piece works on the MK. VII and MK.V (B) but not the Yorai. Or, in the odd case, it works on the Yorai and MK.VII but not MK.V(B), it is locked to those 2.

No one said it would be. Still needs to happen.
Then every time you unlock something, you’re playing a guessing game of “which core(s) does this work on? Does the really cool armor piece I bought in the shop work with my preferred core or was it a waste of my money?”
This way it’s very clear. You know what you’re buying and what core it’s for.
It tells you what cores it works with, lol.
You’re just grasping at anything to gatekeep, aren’t you?

Poor attempt at reading on your behalf maybe my guy I missed the dang m but it happens. You missed the part where the mcrib is seasonal. Comes back every year due to people making the demand for it. Ever heard of supply and demand well they’ve supplied us but we demand more. Xbox made the 360 but we demanded better specs. Cars were rough steel but safety demanded otherwise. Games were 8 bit but the industry and consumers demanded real life quality graphics took some time and multiple generations but now we have top of the line photorealalistic games and some even look better than real life I’d say those astounding demands were all met and our still being progressed on but oh wait were not allowed as consumers in a free market to make demands and if those aren’t met were not allowed to take our money to the next company that will listen oh no were not allowed to do any of that at all.
You realize how ignorant every inch of you saying we dont have the right to demand anything, are? Like really what delusional world did you fall out of because it must be perfect there where no one ever has anything bad to say.
They already sourced that one. Basically going into each core you can see what armor attachments are available or what has been available and may not be in the store currently. With that system already in place it wouldnt be hard for us to just shift through our cores to find which piece fits where. Plus they could offer up a separate window that shows which cores its compatible with upon purchase or better yet before purchase.
I’m not going to lie I actually like some of the armors and the elite armor love they gave for 3 and reach mmmmmmm tasty. Lol it wasnt all bad but some were pretty horrific to look at mainly the destiny mashup that spawned the viking gladiator bs they just released.

I am against cross core. I want Mark V [B] to stay pure, MK VII to be semi silly while also having normal armor/halo 5 art style, and Yoroi to be the core for fractures (such as vikings, spartans and so forth). By having cross core, we get way too much sillyness on a single spartan. Imagine getting tbagged by a spartan with Cat ears, samurai swords and (although cross coating is something I want) pink armor. All they would need is a fedora and neckbeard attachment and the Halo reddit will never complain again
That kinda the entire point some people want silly some people want cool me I want my old reach spartan back as it was my favorite with how custom is was I had never seen two people using the exact same armor set in reach after the first few weeks following the increasing player count at the time. Only time they were close to the same was when they were starting rookies but even then we had tons of emblems and color combos to rock. People probably wouldnt be saying anything if the content was equal to reach or maybe even halo 3 but we got extreme sub par with minimal customization.
By this point I think you’re just pulling people’s leg though over being against it. No one against it would come up with such a ridiculously funny combination of items. But remember the fedora still has to show the cat ears gotta have the little slit holes for em
