There is a significant lack of unique color combinations in Halo Infinite due to its coating system. However, I think there is a good way to satisfy both the 343 teams and the community by bringing back the Secondary color selector.
The idea is very simple.
-
Break the color customization into two tiers, primary coatings, and secondary coatings.
-
Give players a free selection of the basic primary and secondary coatings that are just flat colors (Red, blue, green, black, yellow, purple, pink, orange, white), with no unique textures, patterns, or even multi-color mix-ups in them.
Now 343 can sell or make unlockable coatings through two channels (Primary and Secondary) and have the creative freedom to make those coatings have things like unique textures, unique patterns, and multi-color coating.
I think this method also adds to the dimensions of which you can customize your spartan, whereas right now you can just pick one coating that has maybe 1 - 3 different colors, with this method you mix and match different coatings to make it super unique or even goofy colors on your spartan of up 6 or more color combinations depending on the coatings. It’s a win-win!
343 Please do this, it would so cool! I hope the idea at least inspires another idea.
