Halo Infinite’s spartan customization is limited by 343 development teams, our wallets sizes, and what ever season the game is currently in. Customization is no longer limited by the players imagination. Color sets and cosmetic armor pieces are not universal and are locked to a specific armor core. This stifles players creativity and individuality. This issue is also compounded with the very slow progression that is currently in game.
The below excerpt is from an article with Upcomer on September 24, 2021 by Danny Appleford(Sorry can’t post links or pictures since this is a ‘new account’):
“Unlike many multiplayer titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty and Apex, Halo Infinite allows players to completely customize their Spartans. Outside of the typical default skins for characters, Spartans can be customized down to which helmet, armor plates and color are chosen. Additional parts and color combinations for Spartans can be unlocked through leveling up the Battle Pass or playing the game and leveling up. Like most games, the Battle Pass will allow for additional customizable options only available to those who have purchased the pass.”
Either the journalist was duped like us, incompetent at their job by not asking the right questions, or hid this info from us.
