I’m kinda off with the “weapon skins” thing. How is it gonna work? I’ve heard the topic of weapon skins come up a lot. If you know how it’s gonna work, let me know. And NO “IT MEANS ITZ GONNA TURN IN2 CODZ FAIL!” bull -Yoink-.

I expect it to be similar to CoD.
Some for ranking up.
And some for pulling off special stuff.
And some for playing previous Halo games.
Such as Killionaire, or driving vehicles over 200 miles, stuff like that.
And you get AR skins for buying the LE.
Well in Halo 4 you can customize your loadouts, but in a more similarly limited fashion to Gears than CoD.
There are no real details yet, but we know power weapons are unavailable and we can predict one of two setups:
Rifle/Sidearm (Primary: AR/BR/Carbine etc, Seconday: Magnum, P-Pistol, Mauler etc)
or
Precision/Automatic (Primary: BR/Carbine/Magnum etc, Secondary: AR/PR/Spiker etc)
But the idea is that you will be able to alter the appearances of the weapons you spawn with. Which IS in CoD, but is also in Gears, and is similar to changing the appearance of your Spartan, or changing your “costume” in a fighting game.
Effectively some ideas for weapon skins even go so far as to change the model. Here are some ideas:
Make the metal on your weapon Red/Blue/White etc.
Add a pattern to your weapon, like Desert Camo, Digital Print, maybe Auntie Dot’s Blue Diamonds.
Even make your weapon appear like they did in previous games, like a Halo Reach AR, a Halo 2 BR, or a Halo ODST Magnum.
By saying skins im not expecting dessert camos and snowy guns. I’d expect to see the ability to make your gun have scratches on it, and make your gun look shiny. Stuff liek that. Even making your AR (in this case) look like passed ARs would be sweet.

All joking aside, it WILL probably work like Call of Duty’s gun camo, although I’m hoping Halo 4 leaves out some of the more ridiculous skins (like gold guns). If they leave out ridiculous-looking skins, I’m all for it.
There is no help needed tbh. Weapon skins are do just what they are designed to. As far the specific weapons that will have these skins, idk.
Nice feedback guys. Especially the one about the “Scratches, shiny, or past Halo skin” idea. It’s becoming more clear now. And from what I hear it’s similar to CoD but more like GoW. And I’m fairly fond of the Gears of War series so I have no problem with this now. Thanks guys. Can’t wait for Halo 4!
