The biggest mistake I've ever seen in Halo multiplayer

You know, I would’ve loved to be in on that discussion at 343i.

(343i Multiplayer creative lead) “we need to get rid of forced team colors so that players can show off their armor coatings we’re going to practically force them to pay fo- I mean, ahem to aid in player expression. What do we got?”

(Corporate Lap Dog #2) “Why don’t we give all the players outlines, so you can tell who’s an enemy and who’s not?”

(Corporate Lap Dog#3) "Yeah! Lot’s of games are doing that now. Counterstrike, Rainbow 6 Siege. And let’s make them extremely bright, SO BRIGHT, in fact, that they make it impossible to see ANY armor details, colors, or other distinguishing characteristics!

(343i multiplayer creative lead) “BRILLIANT! We’ll re-create the exact problem we were trying to fix, while removing player expression AND monetizing the entire process! We’ll make millions!”

(the one guy with common sense) “I mean, hear me out, but maybe that’s why we have a friend or foe indicator built into the reticle so that it changes colors? And also, we could TOTALLY just put player’s emblems/names above friendlies’ heads like in previous titles? Just thinking critically here”

(343i multiplayer creative lead) “well, SMARTASS, first off that’s not allowed here, and second, how would you be able to tell if someone’s an enemy if only the friendlies have names over the heads?”

(common sense man) “They wouldn’t have names over their heads.”

(343i multiplayer creative lead) “you’re fired.”

Microtransactions are definitely very greedy and need to be removed from the Halo multiplayer now I’m not saying that they need to be removed completely but they definitely need to have some different changes to it they need to be way cheaper and more affordable for practically anyone and they do not need to be integral to the game yes cosmetics are not integral but if you want to make your character actually look unique and look like you could make them in Halo reach as well as even Halo 3 and now with the MCC you can do that even more with Halo 3 and reach because they’ve added in more armors for Halo 3 and they’ve added in more elite armors as well but in Halo infinite there isn’t really any armor customization at all the only thing I’m able to do with my armor is remove the shoulder pads and that’s it I can’t do anything else besides paint it a different color unless I buy the cosmetic items which I will not be doing

And honestly 343i is not going to need the money from the cosmetics in the multiplayer they’re going to make a decent amount of money from Halo infinite sales they’ve already made a decent amount from pre-orders and I will be buying the game when it is finally released.
