Oh yes, I am in full support of the color wheel. Anything to expand on the lackluster customization of Halo 5: Guardians.

A lot harder than you think. This would likely require a full adjustment to how and when the armors or rendered… or simply adding in at least 3 versions of each armor. Obviously the latter is a really inefficient solution and would likely cause other issues such as reduced UI responsiveness.
Adjusting the engine to implement something like this is likely too much of an undertaking for Halo 5… maybe something you could petition for in the next title.

I honestly don’t think having extra customization on armor, that you don’t get to see most of the time since it is a FPS, is worth a performance decrease on a game,right now the worst case scenario should be 24 different armors and helmets, add all the other bits and pieces and I can imagine it could be quite messy(just mentioning that as it comes up pretty often on the customization topic), adding textures to the mix I imagine wouldn’t be too good either.

Why must you be so pessimistic? In previous games, we could mix and match different armor pieces without any impact on performance, and that was with inferior technology. I don’t see how changing textures would be any different.

But in the case of Halo 5 the scale is bigger than in previous games, I would imagine it would be possible on every Arena mode, but having hundreds of possible combinations of armor or just textures in something like warzone sounds to me like it’d be pretty heavy on the game. Of course that’s just my opinion, I don’t really have much insight on how the game works and what would be reasonable for the X1/dedicated servers when it comes to customization.

There also weren’t multiple different textures for each separate piece nor the sheer amount of armor options available. The ‘technology’ point is moot for multiple reasons - 1) better technology doesn’t mean you’re left with any ‘additional’ horsepower. Every resource available is leveraged to run a next-gen game. 2) It comes down to the engine. You don’t want to make engine changes for such a small ‘improvement’ and even just adding in textured variants means increased UI work, not to mentioned an order of magnitude file increase for each texture you add.
You have to think about this - if the engine is altered to allow for a different texture rendering of each armor model… how much does that impact? You can’t easily make changes to the engine JUST for armor models (unless that functionality was built in with this in mind already) so what does it impact? When and how geo-textures are rendered? When in the rendering process is this done? How does when it happen affect line of sight? How does it affect load times? How does it affect frame rate? Are there unintended consequences in other areas of the game?
My point is, these ‘simple fixes’ are far more complex than you’re considering.

I disagree. I would rather have more customization at the expense of some performance. Many don’t like how this game performs already, and any change is better than no change.
The frame rate is awful, the textures load whenever they feel like it, and the lighting is sub par. If having more freedom over our Spartans looks means 30 seconds of incomplete rendered Spartans running around at the beginning of the match than so be it.

So your answer is to make the game run worse so you can look cooler?
What?

Plus, trading performance for customization would also make our multiplayer Spartans look worse, most likely, rendering it kinda pointless…

Adding customization would not have an impact on performance. It’s never hurt the game before; they already completely changed the color palette, and the only reason we don’t have full armor customization is because of some artistic BS… I forget exactly what was said, but apparently 343’s art team decided they wanted all of the armor in the game to look a certain way, and thus denied us the means to change it. Something along those lines?
Even if it did have the slightest impact on performance, I honestly wouldn’t care if they dropped the game down to 30fps if it meant finally having some decent customization in this game. I was perfectly fine with 30fps in Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4… 60fps is cool, but very much overrated.

In this case: Yes.
Reason: the game is already flawed visually and in many eyes also flawed mechanically. 343’s reason for these issues have been lackluster. If the game took a visual performance dip because the game allowed more complexity for customization then at least that would be a decent excuse for the performance setback.
Its a logical veiwpoint, especially since Halo is no stranger to setting performance back to allow a more agreeable product to come to pass.

If the game took a visual performance dip because the game allowed more complexity for customization then at least that would be a decent excuse for the performance setback.

You want to make the game look worse, so you can look cooler, in a game that looks worse.
Your logic is…interesting.
I’d rather play a game that plays well than look cool. Guess I’m weird like that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you! Someone who shares my opinion!

That’s …a matter of perspective I suppose. Other Halo titles sacrificed small in engine setbacks for cool things like duel wielding, damageable structures, and cooler weapons and vehicles.
In this case the game in question already looks and plays haphazard, no change is worse then trying something and myself and many others would put up with a lot more if we could look cool instead of look bad and still suffer the inadequacies of Halo 5’s Gameplay.
thats my 2 cents nuecense who sent you sent for me on the matter.
At the very least.
Let us remove unnecessary stripes!?!!?!
(White, cyan, yellow)
Just clear an armor, primary color only.
If they can do it that would be great. (Im still holding out for custom shoulders however)
Its one of those things that would be really nice to see, but shouldn’t be expected. As stated before though, give it a petition for Halo 6. That will be something they will look into.
Despite popular belief, 343 wants cool ideas like this so they can put them into the next game if given the time. Its not “just” all about gameplay.
