I love customising my Spartan. It’s always the very first thing I do when I pop in a new Halo game. One very key component to that process is colours. They matter; if they didn’t, why are they even an option?
When I play as my Spartan, I want to play as my Spartan. Not a strawberry or blue raspberry gummy version of my Spartan.
Many games (CoD, Destiny, etc…) have demonstrated that there are other ways to indicate which team somebody is on without taking away an integral part of the customisation process. I shouldn’t be forced to play Rumble in order to actually play as my character.
I know it’s tradition but you’ve let go of other traditions in the name of progress. It’s time to let go of this one too.

I kind of like how Bungie handled things with Destiny and their crucible. You get to keep your unique look and color scheme, but you still have no problem identifying who is on what team.
On one hand I want to keep to tradition (and I feel like given the vocalization of the community regarding 343’s changes so far this change would be met with hostility), but on the other I agree. One thing I liked about Reach was that you used your own character in the campaign, so regardless of RvB you were still playing as your Spartan.
I have a few suggestions:
Option 1. Allow us to use our secondary color in team-based modes.
Option 2. Make our armor’s underlayer (that was always black before Halo 4) be determined by our secondary color.
Option 3. Give us a third color option for the underlayer so we have primary, secondary, underlayer and only primary color changes in team-based game modes.
In addition to #3, give us the option to set two color combinations, one for team-based modes and one for Forge/FFA. I suggest this because some color combinations could look great until you jump into a team playlist and your primary color changes to red/blue then it might look horrible.
-inputs must be repeated (don’t carry over) when clambering or boosting
-no social playlists, no variety.
-aiming acceleration has deadzones, making it terrible and very notice. Aiming diagonally is slower than aiming side to side and aiming up is even slower. The -Yoink-.
-radar needs to be increased or just removed. It baits people into a false sense of security. We move twice as fast yet the radar is half the size.nice.
-taking away scoring in campaign, limiting custom game options. A general rule for sequels: don’t remove previous positive steps forward that are simple to carry over.
-warzone especially atk/def is poorly organized
-removing customization options (shoulders, etc). yet again, lame af.
-not being able to sprint whilst being shot. Extremely lame
-the time it takes to die in legendary is stupidly low
-weapon timers. The timers are way way too low. Securing a railgun can guarantee that you can control that whole side of the map until it respawns. Since and repeat. (railgun is also quite op)
-and not launching with forge and more maps. Stop. Releasing. Unfinished. Products. Don’t be surprised when halo 5 is abandoned. So disappointed with your “pro team.” Being worse than Halo 4 is saying a lot.
-Campaign was disgraceful as a whole. (What did you guys work on during the 11 month delay since the beta? The multiplayer is noticeably worse since then (aiming not working and radar)).
-Lying about the number of missions? (saying there are 15 and adding 3 walk around missions simply to be able to lie about it)Unless these things are addressed nearly immediately, the population will disappear rapidly. It is already happening. And deservingly so. MCC was a nightmare and yet some key mistakes (aiming acceleration and deadzones) are being repeated. Out of my 8 friends that I play with, all dislike the game. Two have traded it on. The reset were playing different games today. They abandoned it hoping it may be fixed in the future.the lack of talent and common sense stemming from 343 is impossible to ignore. Certainly the last time I am support them if these issues are not addressed right away.
-booting/banning people for killing teammates after the game has ended? Nice
-spawning outside of the map
-unable to calculate KDA? Nice. I have just over a 2.0 yet it displays as a 10. Messing up an excel spreadsheet is unacceptable
-no medal chest at the end of games? K
-did the marketing directions never play the game?
Spartan companies, yet no clan matches
-over inflating ranks. So many subpar players are getting played super highly. Take a note from league of legends. Start them low and let them climb.
-beat downs lunging but not hitting?
-friendly AI are atrocious. Stopping two feet infront of you, not reviving, barely participating in fights, etc
-rarity of armors, etc does not show after unlock.
-story writing was just painful. Both dialogue and story.
Amen to that. 343 has really been digging into the player’s ability to express their “identity” of sorts. They should eliminate RvB and fix the armor color palate.

And you post this here why? So everyone can see you whine about the game? I mean, this isn’t the only totally unrelated thread I’ve seen you post this on.
You know what? I was going to reply with the mindset that this is tradition. But I can’t help but agree with you. I’d like to play as my exact spartan.
Absolutely not. Red vs blue is one of the things that make halo what it is. I can’t stand searching each player to see whether they are enemies or friendlies. If this were to happen i would quit halo, and I’ve never considered quitting halo.
I’m not usually the guy to say this but, either go back to cod and destiny or leave cod and destiny with cod and destiny.
The absence of a decent alternate game mode like Firefight or Spartan Ops has left a void to be filled with my custom character. Then again 343i has a grudge against customization it seems these days, totally neutering the MCC and dumbing down emblems and armor in Halo 5.
