Should Pre/Post-Game Animations Be Customizable?

At the start and end of each Halo Infinite match, your own and other team members’ Spartans are displayed performing an animation and a pose respectively. The animations are played seemingly completely at random, and the poses so far have all just been of the winning team standing with their hands behind their back. While this was no doubt added to show off you and other players’ cosmetics, it does add a nice little flare to each match. That said, I was wondering: what if we were able to pick and choose the animation(s) and pose(s) displayed at the start and end of the match?
My proposal is to have pre-game and post-game animations/poses become unlockables, much like armor coatings, and we can then either:

  1. Pick one specific animation and pose to play every time
  2. Pick a handful of animations and poses that will be saved to a roster which you can edit and configure which will then be shuffled each game, cycling through your own hand-picked animations/pose of your choosing.
    This way, you’re Spartan is always performing an animation and pose you want them to, rather than a random default one you may not necessarily like.

I’m more than certain this will be the case. I like the idea it gives life to your “stance” in a way instead of just being a pose.

Sounds like what you really want are Fortnite dances which we can add to our controls to perform by pressing a button.

Well whatever it is, I am not against this.

If 343 can sell it as a cosmetic, I have no doubt that it will come to fruition. Sadly this means we will sooner or later get some ridiculous animations. You thought the H5 beta animations where bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet!

I personally like the simple “shrug” animation. It makes me smile. Hey, does anyone know why sometimes your team poses as the “Eagle” vs “Cobra”?

I know those are the specific teams, but why is there only the names “Eagle” or “Cobra”? Do they have some sort of deeper meaning?

They were the original teams used in Halo 1 with an eagle being on the blue flag and a cobra on the red flag.

Leaks have already shown that there will be poses unlockable in the game

Hopefully they also let us have unlockable animations down the road
