I’ll never fully enjoy the Infinite customization when mtx is in my face 24/7. Let us have the REACH credit system, Please!!!

How often do you change your look that not having the entirety of the catalog could actually impact your quality of life more than the plethora of other issues surrounding this title?
@ronnie42 @ExMOSBoss seem to think legitimate contextual questions are bait

Armor customization has no effect on your experience with the game.
You can ignore MTX and Armor customization entirely, your experience with the game isn’t going to change.

Wrong. Armour customization has plenty of ‘effect’ on many of our experiences of the game…it encourages social interaction and it led to things like the Vidmaster challenges and is an important element for Halo. If it wasn’t important they wouldn’t be trying us £1000+ on content.
No we can’t ignore MTX or lack of proper armor customization because it damages the overall long term playability and ‘enjoyment’ of the game.
To act like experiences hasn’t changed is wrong and now I’m going to explain why that is factually wrong based on my own experience:
I disliked Halo 5 and Reach at ‘launch’ and yet it’s one of the most played Halo games because I had plenty to unlock and I ended up maxing both of those games in rank despite the fact that at launch I claimed they were both “the worst”
Halo Infinite game-play I enjoyed at launch and yet I dropped the game in about a month because of the lack of content to ‘earn’. I ended up losing interest because the 2nd paywall made the ‘experience’ less fun for me.
My literal behavior had drastically changed because of what happened and the evidence speaks for itself.

I love the customization a lot but now I’ll never do it in Infinite cause of corporate greed. I’ll play more MCC and come back to Infinite for the free items that’s worth my time. Doesn’t mean I support Micro Transactions cause I don’t.

it doesn’t matter if the MTs afect gameplay. they are constantly pushed into our faces with the stances and intros and even with the removal of red vs blue… MTs affect the game. and them being pushed this hard on people is one of the many, many reasons people quit the game (at least it was one of the mayor reasons i quit, bc the game is obiously developed to sell MTs and not to be fun)

Customisation has always been a great fun part of Halo’s multiplayer.
Infinite completely killed customisation.
The greedy direction they’re going is enough for me to not support the game.
If you as much as pay for a battlepass you are supporting the mtx system, whether you like it or not.
I payed full prize for the campaign on release, I regret even doing that.
The customisation quality is the worst since H2C (and even there you could customise your colours).
I just want them to dump Infinite in the bin and focus on making the next, because I’ve guven up on Infinite.

I understand the backlash to lack of color choice and monetization, but I think suggesting that Infinite’s system that actually grants more customization variables and points than even Halo Reach is somehow more limiting than H2C’s version that restricted customization more than H2A did is an egregious stretch of the imagination. I really don’t understand your logic behind this.
I’m not saying that Infinite’s system is without flaws that should be rightfully criticized, but I find it hard to wrap my head around your comparative rationalization based on only two factors.
Edit:
Y’all bait, but you only do it because I make points you agree with next to points you dislike but know are factual.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Infinite’s base game has 1 set of armour and a few 1-colour coatings. (CE level)
I wont give them much credit for the mtx and fomo based content.
Infinite’s customisation is only comparable with the other games if you pay far more than the entire game is worth, and even then it’s got the core limitations and coating limitations.
I had way more freedom in H3 and onward by far

lets see to make the perfect set up for most you typically would have to buy multiple packs. Also people like changing around they dont like keeping the same thing on for years on end. Additionally people who play with friends. Most people peer pressure and ask why they always wear the same thing and try to get them to change time to time
and some people like to change based on the season and holidays
I doubt it needs to be said, but I’m confident that at least someone in the studio shares this sentiment. With how quickly the game was cobbled together from various designs? I’m willing to bet they wouldn’t have even considered a model like this if they were designing a classic Halo game from the start.

I have to be honest, I only log back into infinite to check the store on Tuesdays. I’m tired of being super negative about the game because its exhausting. We all know its a multiple things at least for me (Management, Micro-transactions, Bad aiming , Lack of content, Mods on forums, Multiple youtube creators making the same video, etc…) I do wanna throw my opinion on this topic, maybe rant. The fact that microtransactions confuse the crap out of me. I have no idea whats going on when I’m seeing 5 items that i can easily say no to buying. At the same time knowing exactly what I would like to come back on to the store.
Straight up trying to sell me items for EASTER…come on man. All I’m trying to say is 343i is leaving money on the table, micro transactions will never not be a thing in most games, at least try do a good job when you bend me over. I wanna buy cool stuff, I wanna support and invest in the game. Put the good past content up more frequently, we don’t need an entire week to decide if we are buying 5 items. Get rid of tank and warthog coatings no one is buying that ish. SO for anyone say they are being “PUSHED” to buy MT’s thats a lie. The amount of things worth buying or even being enticing is comical. Things are looking up my friends, we all know we will be here in a year still checking on the game. Halo deserves that much…

343 has destroyed armor being fun. They put so much in the store that I just stopped caring about it entirely.

Yes just ignore an entire layer of a video game. Just ignore something that, for many people, functions as an incentive to play the game. Weak argument.

I see what you’re trying to do, but if you’re going to focus on bare minimum default only options, you’re also leaving out default emblems, body sliders, voices, and prosthetics and AI among a few other factors.
I personally disagree that the focus should be on only default configs as it intentionally handicaps the argument to fit a niche narrative, but if you’re going to do it’s best to include all default configs.
Not saying you have to. Nor should you.
But credit where it’s due, there are consistent frequent and regular ways to unlock free cosmetics in this title with many more on the way regardless of the methods used
Not necessarily, the amount of free obtainables has increased pretty exponentially as the game has been out with the inclusion of Rakshasa as a free unlockable (as well as MKVb with the release of the next tertiary “pass” in the near future) as well as free giveaways and promos.
On the note of “limitations” it’s also important to recognize that cross-core is going to happen and is slowly being phased in. While I’m aware it’s not available in full now, it’s important to acknowledge the impact it has currently and will have in time.
In what way? By default or the total free obtainable unlocks?
@FathomKnight I’m not sure what your reply is directed at within my reply, but I’ll do my best to respond.
What’s a “perfect setup”, like what is objectively the “perfect setup”?
Yeah some do, but some don’t. I don’t think there’s really any solid data suggesting one choice is favored over the other. But I’m not sure how this is a flaw in the system.
I’m not sure I understand the point this is trying to make in regards to the flaws in the customization system.
Is this objectively true or anecdotally true?
I think I’ve been asked more about how to change one’s appearance than I’ve heard someone being told to change their appearance personally.
But again I’m not sure what this has to do with the customization system’s flaws.
Again, how is this a flaw?
@ExMOSBoss @ronnie42 responding to directed replies has never been bait
@Spam8358 @TotalTeeto117 if I I “missed the point” it would be nice to know how I did. Otherwise it seems like a shallow way of dodging a conversation

I feel the point is less about what you’re able to unlock and more of how you’re unlocking it.
All these color systems shouldn’t even be monetized. Look at all the different types of colors that are in the game. Instead of a revamped and expanded customization, we got restrictive and tedious one.
To summarize the color system: See a new color? Open your wallet.
The only thing that I would be okay with them monetizing would be weapon skins. What wehave now is a contrived mess of a customization system, to be blunt.

Keep in mind that there should also be more content by now.
We should be knee deep in season 4.
Customisation is also a victim of the delays.

They dont even have skins for the banished weapons or vehicles though. It such a strange system they put in place.
Also to your other point, the colors they do monetize have historically been colors that already existed, but they shifted the hue just ever so slightly. One of the recent weekly rewards was literally just Cadet Orange but with some tiny tweaks. I wasted my time and stressed myself out over an armor color i already owned.
