See, the thing is that with the currency only obtainable by the pass means free players won’t get them. As for the armor, shouldn’t the colors be used on every armor?
The ‘currency’ vote is not one option only. There are three avenues of how currency could be earned, two of which are free and all 3 of which can be voted on. Battlepass is doing best because people want their dollar to go farther more than they want free players to get something for nothing (except playing a game).
Also, the developers need to make money somehow. Paying for Battle Passes adds up to max $40 per year. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with incentivising people to buy the battle pass, that’s less than buying a game normally would be. The problem is more with expensive paid items, such as the armor.
As for the colors, yes, you should be able to use the colors on every armor. The vote for that option is currently doing very well, and again that is a multi-choice poll, not an exclusive poll. It’s clearly showing what is most important to most people, and that is one of the top 3.
That’s one of the votes that has me shocked at the results currently.
Must be PC gamers.
Jokes aside, the quick switch breaks immersion for me. I can understand spartans being able to quickly change direction, but not breaking the laws of physics to do so. They should have to at least put their far foot down before they can switch, and momentum is still a thing
I think you’re right though since it’s such a PC staple to spam ADAD.
I agree, it’s scary. Aside from the immersion aspect, it also changes combat from being strategic to reactionary.
It’s not about reading your opponent anymore. It’s just about who can spam more and keep the cursor in place.
I preferred having to watch for the queues to try and anticipate my opponents moves so I could stay on target.
Really want to see this thread stick, Tldr; Halo 3/reach/mcc style pregression is all we need imo, overall career rank similar to halo 3’s medals and 1-50 from halo 2/mcc for competitive play. The depth of those 2 systems function well and they can freshen it up for infinite and change the aesthetic any way they want as long as the core function exists. Current function behind BP leveling and league/halo 5 style for ranked is something I never understood the appeal of personally.
Yeah, I was only half joking tbh 
Yeah my normal strafing maneuvers feel extremely ineffective suddenly

XP should probably provide a base level of XP for each match completed, then give bonuses for things like kills, objectives and medals. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just a little something to reward you for contributing to your team.
LOVE these ideas, so much so that I wish I could add them to the poll and have everyone re-vote
Excellent 
first step is to keep it bumped, hopefully eventually get it pinned! I think it is a more effective and targeted way of collecting feedback than polls spread all over and endless discussion to read through. And I am happy to keep the polls as up to date as I can, although since I can’t edit them after 5 minutes I will need to figure out a way of adding more polls with additional options that people have been suggesting.
Well, the good thing about leagues is that they are self-correcting, and easy ways of putting teams and games together. Like, you wouldn’t pit pee-wees against an NFL first string team. That being said, I also like the individual ranking that we haven’t seen since 3 and honestly I haven’t thought about it much, everyone talks about Reach showing experience which is the progression system everyone has been talking about. Let me see if I can figure out a good way of polling for that
Good poll matey. I like how it shows that quite a high percentage enjoys forced crossplay NOT

I really hope 343 see this and is like “We’ll try to make most of these things happen!”
P.s. Please 343, take action before the game dies.

Thanks a lot for doing this, and also great job!
I think it would be nice if the “armor coating” system were customizable itself, replacing colors on the “wheel” with shaded colors, textures, patterns, etc. Do you think there is a way to integrate this idea into the poll in a meaningful way?
Thank you all! I hope it helps make this Halo as amazing as it can be
I’m not sure I understand what you’re suggesting enough to do that, but I think I’m going to add a second armor poll below the first.
The Spartan’s color scheme is presented to us on a circular pallet; a ring of colored nodes referred to as the “coating”. But I think instead of us earning curated version of these pallets, we should be able to select basic colors for each node of that “wheel”.
Instead of “armor coatings” as a reward category, it would be nice if we were given patterns, textures, etc, to replace the basic colors in those nodes. This way all players start with way more customization options for the colors, but there is still something which can be attained through progression, etc.

Great poll! 
It would be nice if 343i acknowledged this.

Ah, I see what you’re saying now.
The only problem I see with that is that I have no idea what each node corresponds to, or if there actually even is a direct comparison. It seems arbitrary what color goes where.
For example, armor lights are orange for all basic armor, but change for other armors. However, there is no matching “orange” slot on the shaders.
You’ll also see that multiple pallets with similar designs create vastly different armor aesthetics.
I will add a poll for custom shaders, but honestly I doubt they would work very well. For one thing, shaders are more complex than a primary and secondary color (or even 7 colors/materials like the pallets show) - armor seems to be broken up into many different pieces and the shaders affect each piece in a way that is defined outside of the scope of what we can see on the user end.
(For example, check out the Noble Observer pallet - that gold appears NOWHERE unless you have the right shoulders for it)
I also don’t think 343i would be willing to implement that, as it is surely where they expect to make a lot of money.
However if they were willing to give us that level of granularity of customization, the community would love it, I’m sure
Thanks! That’s the hope
Created a poll for you
And for you

I think the amount of armor customization, which is presently 15-85 split(free-paid only) should switch to 70-30. Right now so much is paid that it limits player choice. The majority of my team mates have been clones using the grey coating.
Campaign owners should also get the first battle pass premium free of charge. I’d also like to see the option to have Red vs Blue teams. I’ve attacked a few allies cause they had red armor as a result of muscle memory from past games.

That’s a massive shift. You really think 343i would go for it? These polls should stay realistic. I might be able to come up with a way of polling this though…
Yeah idk how they would implement the campaign thing after the fact, we’ll have to see what happens on the 8th. I’ll add the last thing as a poll though!

I’d like to have the cross hair turn red when you’re in melee range like in older Halo games.

would 343 go for it? I sincerely doubt it at this point. They’re pretty set in the path their choosing, though I think its also out of their hands(and in the hands of the more corporate minded individuals). Like the whole reason for armor coatings, which is so apparent now, is to make money. Thats why we can’t choose our own colors like previous games, if we could the armor coatings would never sell or be drastically reduced.
