It doesn’t have reach style customizations they limit players on customization to what pieces can be put on what armor core.
I would like to put the Mk. 6 prototype helmet on the Mk.7 chest piece with Mk. 5 shoulder pads to make my spartan look like its wearing Mk. 6 armor. But I can’t each armor piece is soft locked to a specific core.
Now thats reach style customization customizing your spartan with any piece of armor on any part of the body. Not only certain pieces of armor can only be applied to a specific core to any part of the body.
I also thought the trailer looked great. But I don’t see a lot being offered or changed in season 2 so my prediction is that some people will get overhyped and suffer an inevitable letdown.
Oh, I totally agree.
I’m just saying, 343 (for some reason) can only work on so many things at a time or at a certain speed it appears.
I don’t know whether that is because of the engine, lack of staff, incompetence, or a mix of all 3.
I wasn’t trying to suggest that I am ok with the offering, I would’ve loved more content, all I was trying to say, it really was a lose/lose for 343.
It didn’t matter what they did, people would’ve been upset either way
Like the post said, they are going to have event modes stay in matchmaking for S2, did you not read at all? Lol
The MK. V (b) is the reach core.
Compared to OG Reach, it has plenty of customization options (aside from coatings, that system just plain sucks)
Most of it is locked behind a paywall of course.
But then we have MK.VII and Yorai, even more customization (Yorai is really sad because, even if you pay, you get barely anything)
Like it or not, it is Reach style customization, but better.
When they lift the limitations, it is going to be 10x better.
Honestly, I wasn’t that impressed by it. I know it’s a teaser and yes, it looks great and was well produced and such, but in my opinion, if the theme of season 2 is “lone wolves” the trailer didn’t reflect that really I feel.
As far as the actual season, I’m interested in seeing what they will do, sure… but I don’t have a lot of “hype” per say I’m sorry to say. I am looking forward to KOTH though! That mode should of never left!!! But the lack of bug/networking issues, a decent progression system, the beyond terrible UI and still no ranked Team Slayer playlist (And absolutely no indication of one coming anytime soon) has me really not caring overall unfortunately I enjoy social but after a few games or so it just doesn’t keep me engaged and wanting to play.
the armor like before looks dope, the maps we didn’t get a good look at so they could easily be another bathemith or three laned garbage, and we didn’t see modes so… it’s all shiny with no real substance
Catalyst actually looks like it had some verticality, so I don’t think it will be 3 lane garbage.
And Breaker looked really cool to me, glad to see we are getting some different biomes and not anymore human maps.
Halo can do so much better than Human facilities and such.
Catalyst and Breaker look like Halo imo, so I look forward to trying them out
The armor overall from the trailer looks super sick imo.
Other than a few pieces, it is all gonna be in the BP according to ske7ch, and with earnable credits, I might actually buy into the S2 BP
Especially with crosscore on the way
Hey numbskull I did read what they said is supposed to happen in Season 2 but I’m not believing all of it.
343 said in previous vids and livestreams before infinite’s launch that:
They said they won’t make the same mistakes they did with Halo 5 and they ended up repeating those mistakes with as an example very few gamemodes that are mostly comp based.
Infinte will have Reach style customization instead there are limitations on what can be applied to specific cores.
When they released the multiplayer on a livestream they said it was the full Multiplayer they lied and it was actually a beta.
Those are just some of the things they said about infinte and turned out to be the complete opposite. Please I’d like to see you try and defend this.
The mk.v (b) is reach armor core wow you don’t say I would’ve never guessed thats amazing captain obvious.
Reach alone has 148 armor pieces to customize your spartan and this is not including the content released from Season 5 and 8 of MCC.
The Reach armor core in infinite alone has 64 armor pieces to customize your spartan.
The Yoroi armor core in infinite alone has 39 armor pieces to customize your spartan.
The Mk. 7 armor core in infinite alone has 89 armor pieces to customize your spartan and the most pieces this armor core has for customization is the visor.
So yeah when you combine all 3 cores of the pieces they have it will be more than OG reach but when you compare it 1 to 1 OG Reach has way more and thats just launch armor. Especially OG reach has more than half of what Infinite reach contains.
So how does infinite reach have plenty when it has less than half of OG Reach?
You say it has Reach style customizations but proceed to say there are limitations. You contradict yourself about this and OG Reach had no limitations all 148 pieces can be applied to your armor.
In infinite only the 64 armor pieces for the reach core are only applied to the Reach core and can’t be applied to Mk. 7 and Yoroi. THEY LIMIT US AGAIN. Same with the 89 Pieces for Mk.7 only go on Mk. 7 core and not reach and Yoroi. The 39 Yoroi pieces can only go on Yoroi core and not on Reach and Mk.7.
When they remove the limitations then it’ll be reach style but for now it isn’t. Like it or not its not Reach style customization. Lol can’t believe I had to really explain it.
I wouldn’t say it was incredible. I would say something is better than nothing at this point. And what was up with the rewards in the tactical event a few weeks back? The emblem had a wolf and a number 2 on it.
S2 looks good so far, but don’t let that distract us from the fact that 343i has no problem lying to us or screwing us over with boneheaded decisions. It’s hard for me to stay optimistic or even hop onboard the hype train after everything that happened. since 343i took over.
lol teaser was very bad considering this game came out in Nov… I could understand if this was a monthly content drop not 6 months after the fact…
Fix the net-code - needs to be #1
Fix the MMR in social - needs to be #1
Fix the ranking system in general… if you win a game and do bad you should “NOT” rank up… if you win a game and do good you should rank up. If you lose a game and do bad you should rank down… if you lose a game and do good you should stay the same… this fixes the whole boosting issue in the game… Onyx players playing with (golds, & silvers) to get their ranks up… then create new accounts and do the same thing…
Disgustingly, I’ve beaten high onyxes who didn’t even perform like their own rating should’ve determined their skill level.
There are two types of fake high onyxes, one who has been hardstuck for 2k games before reaching 1700 - 1800+ barely or the ones who exploit their bronzes - gold friends that they gain 3 csr points per win.
Little thing to note here, when you play against and win against slightly higher rank than you (lets say your onyx 1500) and you beat a team whos atleast some/all 1600, retaining a positive kd and win. You get 15 csr points max.
So if you see high onyx players with like less than 350+ games, you know they worked hard in less time to get there authentically. That’s how you usually tell a real high onyx player.
What they’ve shown of it looks pretty solid. Since they said that you’ll earn 1000 credits for the premium pass, I suppose I’ll actually get it, unlike the season 1 pass, since that makes it free at completion.
I wouldn’t say free, but I intend to play for quite some time, so $10 for every season pass for as long as I want to play sounds like a great deal to me. Even better, there is no stress and I can work on the pass at my own pace since it doesn’t expire. Even if I’m super slow and I’m a season behind I can skip the last one and use my earned credits on the next one.
Well, it requires a one time purchase of $10 of credits to get, but since you’ll earn that back through completing the pass, you’ll be able to get the next season free. If all the future seasons do the same thing, you can essentially get all of the rest of them for free.
Right, you’re never going to get that money back though. That’s why I said $10 for every season pass. Whatever though, 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other.
Upset? Not even close I’m not surprised 343 did this and a beta with a working store is not a full multiplayer.
The store worked a lot better than the btb servers when that was an issue.
Oh I know the “full release” is in a beta state I’ve been saying that to people for months and they still deny it.
That mode should of never left!!! But the lack of bug/networking issues, a decent progression system, the beyond terrible UI and still no ranked Team Slayer playlist (And absolutely no indication of one coming anytime soon) has me really not caring overall unfortunately 
I enjoy social but after a few games or so it just doesn’t keep me engaged and wanting to play.
