I mean come on, all of the base weapon skins are garbage aside from like 2, which were pre-order bonuses (bloodthirst and steel). The rest are brightly colored spastic crap that gives me a headache just looking at. Gold Standard skins are decent, but they’re Legendary.
With this new update, it seems that all the skins we’re getting are terrible novelty skins that look so out of place and clash with the game’s art style.
I want something that looks like it belongs on a gun, not a laser-tag blaster. At the very least, something that doesn’t look like a user mod and instead looks like an actual paid artist with a sense of uniformity made it.

Ehh, if this were like any other Halo game, we’d have gotten one 3-map map pack by now and be waiting another several months for another 3-map map pack. It’s probably best the way it is.
I agree. I honestly enjoy tactical paint jobs like desert and Forrest sprays, but it seems like the majority of young gamers find those too boring and uninspired, or more “COD-esque” and less “Halo-esque” so those skins don’t show up. Shame because I would happily use them over pizza skins.

Agree completely, at least this way we don’t have to wait forever for a few maps and get enough to tide us over to next month.

Good for you.
As for myself, I don’t wonder if you state your internet opinion as objective fact, I just read the title of this thread and know it to be true.
Well… I agree I do not like the weapon skins that they have given to us so far, (besides bloodthirst and a couple others).; The blue and white one in the Feb update teaser looks nice, but it looks unnatural. We need weapon skins that would actually go on real weapons.
It would be awesome if we could just make our own skins, honestly. I mean, here we have forge where we can make our own entire multiplayer maps that are fully functional pieces of the game. So much so, that they are going to start including fan made maps as a part of the matchmaking. But, we can’t personalize our own guns?
People like the pizza skins. I don’t, but honestly, I don’t give a -Yoink- if someone else likes it.
I like the BoomCo skins, or at least the magnum, the green looks nice.
The scratched skins are really solid looking skins that aren’t completely ridiculous.
Weapons are art, and art is in the eye of the beholder.
To some, Art painted by monkeys is terrible, to others, its worth thousands.

The thing is, I’d rather not have to look at it when I didn’t pick it.
It’s the same thing that happened in Reach with the stupid stuff like Birthday Party and flaming head.

Indeed. I mean, if they do add camo-based skins, they should match the three they have for the UNSC vehicles: Urban (which is actually Desert Camo), Woodland, and Tundra. Make them all Uncommon, since right now not a single Uncommon Skin is aesthetically pleasing.

Same, practical skins would be a god send in this sea of filth.
