Hey OP, just so you know, armor in this game is useless. None of it does anything and as such has zero value. Don’t waste your time and/or money on it!
I know that we are talking about cosmetics, nothing else. I know that the hitbox remains the same, that i dont get stronger shield or something else.
Point is, lot of people like to personalize their character.
In previous halo title you had much more freedom to customize your appearance. Im missing the customizing options previous halo titles.
With this topic im telling 343 why i dont buy cosmetics from the shop. What im expecting from an armor set that i have to pay for.
It maybe that 343 doesnt read this topic. But im pretty sure, that im not the only one missing the option to customize the color scheme.

This is an ignorant statement.
The point of his comment is that there’s no excuse for why it wasn’t allowed for players when it’s clear that bots have the capability. He also wanted to make it clear that cross-core is inherently possible. So many people have the perception that it wasn’t possible, like yourself, that people like you blew it off as a limitation rather than an anti-consumer monetization choice.
Personally I won’t buy any armor sets until 343i gives us Forge, Custom Games area gets fixed and a Custom Game Browser that works!
People liked to customize their Spartan in past Halo games because in past Halo games, the armor actually meant something. The only armor in this game that isn’t earned with your wallet are the extremely limited fracture cores, which honestly suck. I speak for a vast majority of people that they don’t think Halo Infinite’s armor is worth anything. In Halo 3-4, a majority of armor had a purpose and therefore people actually cared about it.
Is it a mystery why Halo 5 had the most people -Yoink!- about the armor than any other game? And now that laurel is worn by Halo Infinite? The armors are useless and purposeless. Why should I care is someone spent 10 bucks in some dumb animated fire jpeg that covers their head? Or a dumb Halo ring over the head.

I personally care more about how cool it looks then how many little pieces are in the bundle. If it was just one really cool helmet for $20 I would buy it because alot of the bundles dont have any sick looking individual part/ color I want.
I also stopped buying things until they start giving us regular content updates in the form of maps and modes.

My bad, i didnt realize that bots had a cross core mix of the armor…
What do mean with “the armor actually meant something”? It was always cosmetics, nothing else. But people like me liked the possibility to personalize our armor. Also the armor ( Achilles) that we got in Halo 5 by achiving all Spartan Company commendation was only “cosmetics”. But it was “unique” and the color scheme could be customized.
True, it is cosmetic.
You dont have to care about that. Nobody forces people to buy armor or other cosmetics from the shop. With my Topic i made clear what i personally expect for 13 Euro, if i would buy an armor set.

Exactly, thats the point. My personal problem is, that either the armor set looked really cool, but i didnt like the color or i liked the color scheme but not the armor set.
I had bought some armor set when i had the choice to customize the color scheme whenever i want.
They have done just about every easy quick change possible to drop prices and rearrange the bundles/single items, and you all are still not satisfied. Also knowing more is already in the works for its changes, as if it wont change in the future. Such small minds with narrow visions.
It was their decision, to disable color customizing. It was their decision to disable cross core combination of the armor.
Its my decision if i am willing to pay 13 Euro for an armor set with a preset color scheme. Im not asking to give me the armor set for free. I say that i would pay 13 Euro for an armor set, when i could customize the color scheme, whenever i want. Just read my initial post of the topic.
I bought the Halo Infinite campaign, the Battle Season 1 and Season 2 on day one. I would have also bought the Halo Infinite Multiplayer mode.
Just simple as that: let me customize the color scheme of an armor set and im buying the armor set.

When I say the armor “means” something, I’m clearly referring to the fact that you had to earn the armor. You earned credits to buy them, you earned them with achievements, or you earned them through various other accomplishments. That’s accounts for a vast majority of the reasons why people liked the armor in past Halo games and hate how they are now.
Nowadays, all armor means is someone’s wallet was used. I’ll say it again. Armor actually meant something in the past and now it doesn’t. Not to mention 343 essentially decieved many people into thinking they couldn’t customize cross core which is scummy. (or else people wouldn’t think it’s impossible)
When I said the armor was useless and purposeless, that had nothing to do with me saying it was just cosmetic. Armor has always been cosmetic. Honestly, I think someone’s an idiot if they buy armor. Armor used to show off your skill and accomplishments and now it’s used to show off your wallet. And nobody likes that and nobody cares when you go into a game flaunting payed-for-armor.
Selling armor, IN ANY COMPACITY, completely ruins what made armor good in past Halo games. If you don’t agree, I can only assume you weren’t around when that was an actual aspect of Halo. People went on for years asking about “How did you get Recon?!? Your dad works at Microsoft?!?”. You think people went crazy over Recon because it looked cool?
Nobody gave a crap about Recon in Halo Reach because it wasn’t attributed to any achievement or challenge. All it meant was that you preordered the game or reached a VERY easy rank. It lost all it’s worth.
There is no actual customization to be had - no matter what you do, your in-game representation will die just as easily with “armor” or without it. A default spartan is exactly the same as an “armored” one.
Wasting time and/or money trying to obtain said “armor” is foolish. None of it will actually impact the result of any game you happen to get placed in.
Dont talk to the troll

OP, just so you know, any “armor” you happen to acquire will not actually help you. It’s all useless. Don’t waste your time and especially money on any of it. The word Armor implies a defensive capability but here on this game it does nothing.
Dude you sound like a Christian trying to force your beliefs onto people, just stop

I’m not preaching fiction like they are, I’m simply stating facts
It being over priced is reason enough on it’s own to disregard it’s existence.
Even 1 cent is overpriced seeing as how it has no bearing upon gameplay
