Cross core should have been there day 1 that opens up more options, second the 60 default colors from Halo 5 should have been the default start coatings day 1.
But anthems design was superior, we had a color wheel and the skis/coatings were anniversary on top of that.
Coatings should really been an overlay on top of base color choice.
I myself am on the fence with crosscore. I would want cores to be differentiations between art styles (with Mark V [B] being a more Bungie artstyle, Mark VI being more Halo 4/5, and Mark VII being Infinite).
In some ways, yes. In others, Anthem’s design was more confusing and also was made to be even more predatory.
With a Ross core you still keep the individuality of each core if you choose too.
All cross core does is open up options for those who want to have those options… But if you want to keep things strictly to each core you still have that option.
Every day I miss Anthem. If EA had listened to the WHOLE GAMING COMMUNITY. I’ve literally never seen Sony and Xbox fanboys united with everyone from Nintendo to a minesweeper community.
SINCE WHEN DID MINESWEEPER HAVE A COMMUNITY!?
EVERYONE came together saying we believe in Anthem 2.0 and ea canned it.
Gameplay was awesome, (aside from RNG) and custom was DOPE. If they had just an open catalogue and an actual mp human character to enjoy the fort with others (Many games tell a single player story in an mp setting.) It would’ve stood it’s toes with games like warzone, Warframe and Halo.
I miss Anthem everyday
