Emblem / Nameplate color customization is too limited

With every new Halo game, I feel as though emblem / nameplate customization becomes more and more limited. In Halo 5: Guardians, we lost the ability to customize the foreground and background of our emblems, and not only has that regression carried over to Halo Infinite, but it’s actually been exacerbated. In addition to losing foreground and background customization, we have now also lost the ability to freely customize the colors of our emblems / nameplates. Being restricted to the same few color palettes is very limiting, and it goes against 343i’s goal to give players more room to express themselves through customization.

At the very least, I think we should be able to customize the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors of our emblems / nameplates, just like we could in Halo 5: Guardians.

I agree. The first thing I did in this game after binding my controls was go to the Spartan ID figuring that’s where I could get my “player expression”, and I was severely disappointed. Then I started to see how limited all the other customization was. I want to like this game but the aggressive and exploitative restrictions really bring me down, and makes me doubt this game will stay as relevant to me as H2, H3, Reach, and the MCC has (and will likely continue to do so.)

The whole game is lacking in core staple features. You are forced to have a basic spartan unless you buy the BP. No stats tracking. Ranked seems too forgiving. I want this game to be great, but if my IRL friends dont like it I fear i will just drift back to MCC and PUBG
