As I’m sure everyone knows by now, armor coatings are armor core specific. This means all the Halo Reach coatings we’re getting this season will only be useable on Mark V (B) core. Mark VII, Yorai, and any future cores will never have these coatings available to them, and vice versa.
On top of not having interchangeable armor, the lack of interchangeable colors makes it two steps back from the one step foward of supposed game-changing customization they advertised.
I can understand not having universal armor, but not having universal coatings is what is really holding this game back from having good customization (that and having armor in the shop for 20$). It just feels like an obvious thing to fix.
