I am a fan for armor coatings, I love the next level of customization, but I hate the idea of not having basic customization!
You never had to unlock the colors for your Spartans, they were always there, and if Infinite ONLY has armor coatings it’s free customization will tank.
And then there’s the problem with new players. What are you gonna do? Make them all be the same color, have the same armor coating?? Why do that when you can use a resource that has always been free in halo and give them a very simple 2 color customization.
Players will still want to go for the cool armor coatings like the scorpion with one arm red and stuff but then even they will get to customize. And for the OG halo players it won’t feel like a piece of the game is missing even if they choose armor coatings over 2 color customization.
I think it’s hard to judge whether this new system will be good or bad until we have more than just screenshots of a few sample coatings (in other words, we need a video demo).
Even after reading their posts about the coatings I’m still confused whether each coating has a fixed color scheme, texture, etc. or whether those will be inputs. All the claims of even greater customization options leads me to believe all coatings will have multiple inputs.
Hey there, let’s keep conversations about coatings to this thread, thanks!
