More Body types the better.

its a sub armor core because i do see it effecting the undersuit like if they bring halo 5 armor like team osiris sets each of them have different under suits⌠its why i want all of it fully customisable imagine if you could have vales undersuit with tanakas chest/shoulders and locke helmet that would be sick
Iâd agree on that. If theyâre going to include body types, they canât just half-heart the feature with three almost indistinguishable choices. Jorge huge, bear mode, Reach/4/5 style females etc.
Nobody is noticing the differences between BD1 and 2 in a shootout.

Armour Kits are affected by the Body Type slider from what ive seen.
I also noticed Yoroi is entirely uneffected by the Body Type slider, whichâŚreally disappoints me tbh

the main issue i had with halo 5s multiplayer armor is that all the armor used the same under suit so alot of the armor didnât fit right⌠sets need the under suit to match id like a system like what we got in MCC were you can actually change it i still think all reach armor looks alot more grounded then infinites armor probably because of the color system but it feels weird having attachments on my armor in infinite
its almost uncanny i think it has alot to do with the armor colors, thats what made halo 5 ugly was the textures and colors
looking at the dev footage and pre release art just makes me depressed because it looks so good vs the actual game
Uh- I-
Should, they notice the difference between the bodies in a shootout? lmao.
People did in Reach, 4 and 5. The difference between male and female Spartans could be noticed with a glance. Which can be argued as better visual design through the theory of silhouettes. If a piece of visual customization doesnât immediately make your Spartan stand out from the default, itâs not doing a very good job.

I canât believe anyone actually cares to see whether or not a Spartan is a man or a woman at a glance, instead of, âThat is a hostile target that is shooting at me, I should probably shoot at it.â
Absolutely beyond my comprehension this logic, l m a o .

I figured someone with a trans flag in the background of their avatar would understand player representation. The very reason the new body type system and multitude of voice options were introduced.
Halo Reach, 4 and 5 had a perfect system with just two choices. Halo Infinite, despite having one more option, does not.

I do understand, beyond understand. Thing is, 0, 1 and 2 cover it pretty well. I for one, use 2.
But the plating does not change. Nor should it, honestly. Iâm really fine and okay with it just being the bodysuit under the armor, which demonstrably does change.
EDIT: but nobody cares in a firefight, lol.
personally I think the infinite emile looks better lol
but the rest, yeah, seems lazy like missing textures and what not. (minus the arm attachments and body sizes⌠thatâs for gameplay and balance reasons)
Would have preferred no kits and have the different armor pieces in the battle pass because the freakinâ pass is called HEROES OF REACH. You should play the battle pass to unlock the armor and things from the heroes of reach lol
What do the body types cover? Regular waist, thin and thinner? In terms of âgenderâ representation, theyâre androgynous to the point they exclude more people than the binary options from the previous games. Why shouldnât the plating change? It did in the last three games. Thatâs like saying âwhy should you be able to change your helmet? Doesnât matter if it was a feature from previous games. Spartans all had standardised gear and the games deviate from the books.â
Arguing that nobody cares about the way their Spartan looks is a reductive statement, because A) The system exists precisely to appeal to people who do care, B) We know the binary options from R/4/5 were more eye catching, and C) Recon wouldnât have been such a big deal back during Halo 3. People noticed the armor, just as they noticed the body types in the past games.

The marketing Reason, the actual reason I suspect was not having enough time. again, Infiniteâs dev cycle was apparently nasty.

Thatâs my belief too. Just slider changing the waist was the quick and easy option. Hell, the voice selection option wasnât even ready for the Flight tests.
true, back in the flights the Spartan ID section was not accessible.
a shame because as Ytuber Ascended Hyperion has pointed out, The body Slider actually has ALOT of potentially for player expression through the Body slider for Body Types, the potential is there, its just not being properly utilised.

So with regards to the body types, they do change. But the plating⌠Honestly, I donât care, lol. Weird to expect factory produced stuff to shift in shape so much. Did you know that a lot of armor types just donât fit right on the feminine bodytype in Reach? For instance, my Soft Case I love so much, nope. Does not fit at all. All the armor types were fitted to the masculine body type, feminine was an afterthought for the most part. Which totally sucks.
But there were also debates constantly about how hitboxes changed - and they didnât, but people argued it anyway. Did you know people who chose the female options were often targeted or harassed for it? If you really care, youâd want to reduce that.
But did you also know, people had complaints back then? About how it âDidnât fit the loreâ? About how âAll Spartans should be androgynousâ?
What we have now is a compromise that also happens to reduce workload on 343i when it comes to placing items on the body. Development wise itâs a massive cost saving measure and changes things quite a bit for the better.
and, frankly, as a trans person (who isnât really tolerating that being wielded against her), I like the inclusive options theyâve pulled up here. What I donât like, is that for whatever reason my Spartan had the wrong voice in a match I played todayâŚ! Canât say I was all too chuffed about that, not at all! My Spartanâs voice option is 100% more important than her body option in every imaginable way. Like, I use the âHeavyâ armor in my Reach kit now, because hot damn, while I DO have an hourglass itâs nowhere as ridiculous as the one in Reach. Thanks 343i, for helping out with the dissonance between my Spartanâs body and my own!
Take it from a trans person youâre arguing with, what theyâve done is good. Basically every thread, video, post, thatâs unhappy with it is just some angry cis person whinging on about how suddenly theyâre not represented because people who are outside of the binary, are finally represented.
I should not have to tell you what that seems like. (It seems like being mad weâre included at all or prioritized in any way shape or form.)

Yoroiâs is unchangeable as of present
People have told you before that they donât feel that body type is very representative of them. I understand you feel represented, but other people donât. Type 1 also had armor which does not fit, which isnât canon with MK V [B] if we look at Reach. And Spartans IVs were all augmented in adulthood, so itâs likely there would be noticeable differences between body types. People want a body type that represents them. A lot of women donât feel type 1 does that. Donât you want other people to feel represented like you already have said you do?

Too bad I guess. If someone canât decide their Spartan is the gender they want based off what we have now, like weâve had to for literally FOREVER then I guess they have to cope, seethe and mald.
In other words: Howâs it feel?
No one has complained that non-binary representation exists. With having multiple body types that can have what they do now, and have bodies closer to Reach as well. More is more inclusive, no?
