Topics Being Locked Down

Your analysis is an opinion.

Also naming the armour wouldn’t prove anything. Being able to tell the difference would.

The bottom line is the Halo infinite customization sucks. There should be male and female Spartans. The same exact models that were used in halo 5.

Cosmetics shouldn’t be behind a pay wall to begin with.

The cat ear cosmetics will only get worse from here on out. It’s already not Halo to me. The more these types of cosmetics come out the more I’m inclined not to play.

I flag bigotry, targeted harassment, sexism, baiting and ableism.

It’s appalling how much I see.

I’ve had a number of my posts flagged too. Nothing offensive just expressing a little negativity about a game I’ve played a tonne and mostly enjoy.

I feel like you’d be really grasping as straws to find most of that here. Maybe baiting. Ableism? Get a grip.

I really hate when my point gets demonstrated.

My analysis is objective :joy:

Naming the armor identifies differences by attributing a title to the variations.

Anyone can identify differences by saying “that one looks different”, being able to ascribe a defined characteristic by name is the important takeaway.

If the lack of defined sexual dimorphism is the only reason Halo Infinite’s customization system “sucks” as you put it so eloquently, then it’s doing pretty damn well compared to the single abstract growth you could choose from for your lower 90% in Halo 5.

Fun fact, did you know the hand plates you can choose from on the MKV B are the female and male plates (unlocked respectively) between the two models in Halo Reach?

Also fun fact, there’s 11 points of customization in Halo 5 compared to the 30 in Halo Infinite. Personally I’m gonna stick with the latter, it’s like an evolved version of Halo Reach’s system, which was a great system.

This is a great example of an opinion.

I think they’re generally fine behind a paywall. Another opinion.

Well if 20 years of brightly colored armor, flaming helmets, space ninja armor, skulls, confetti deaths, unicorn/whale helmets, golf club hammers, and gruff space marines playing grab*** with space Dino zealots hadn’t set the stage for Cat Ears in the first place, you might have a point.

It’s objectively Halo from the examples listed above.

You’ve had 20 years (well 17 if you say you started in Halo 2) to speak up about the gradual introduction of goofiness into this franchise that’s existed since the first title.

It’s time to just look back on that reality and either accept it or move on.

had this issue happen too, in my case every time I Brought up a certain topic I found lacking in halo infinite, theres always someone who comes along spouting rhetoric, spoiling the conversation.

Fotus is just a promethean helmet with an oversized knife for a horn, that looks goofy for how bad it looks.

Really sounds like you are making a lot of excuses to defend microtransactions. Even funnier that you think that the female spartan debate is the only reason why it sucks. As of right now you can’t play for anything like you could in halo 5. Sorry. That’s just reality. If the customization wasn’t an issue you wouldn’t see the many threads trying to fix fix the store with their ideas, or threads about the body types, or what you get for free vs paid AND how much. You want to defend this. By all means. You have a right to do so but I’m not going to defend skins in halo. This shouldn’t even be a conversation. This should be an after thought after buying a game with campagin and multiplayer together. But you know. It HAD to to free to play. Lol

Armour Kits are a disappointment, yeh. and are just not necessary.

Lol “lot of excuses”. My guy, I responded to your simple opinion with a simple opinion.

There was no in depth discussion about defending anything, you need to stop looking for a reason to shut me down

Given that it was your only quotable example:

…that’s what I used against you. You should’ve come up with a better basis or argument. I’m just using what you gave me to work with.

25 free BP tiers, 2 free events (so far) with 37 unlockable cosmetics disagrees with your factually untrue statement.

These are discussions mainly about cosmetic acquisition rather than the customization system itself. Which warrant their own discussion, and shouldn’t be conflated as you’re doing.

Nobody seems to have any issue whatsoever with the many different ways we can customize our Spartans (aside from the single issue body types that is).

Nope, I just asked a pointed question suggesting that Halo 4 and 5’s art direction didn’t look like Halo. You’re the one drawing generalized and off topic conclusions to villainize me for some reason

After you just defended skins in Halo, okie dokie artichokie

Anything can be a conversation. If you didn’t want it to be, you shouldn’t have responded to my initial reply. You can still back out if you want, I’m not forcing you to reply

I never once brought this up, that’s on you buddy

All I wanted to talk about was the art style differences between 4/5 and the rest of the franchise :joy:

To counter a point, 25 unlock in the BP tiers is minimal as hell in a 100 (potentially originally 120 levels if rumours were true) when a majority of it is so far back in the BP, its not equally spaced especially when theres excessive bloat in the bP in the form of XP and Challenge re-roll tokens, both of which are monetised might I add.

as a result it feels tedious. and is capable of resulting in a apathetical approach to the BP, that being buying level ups.

I don’t know what’s worse; the censorship itself or the fact that the community is so pathetic, it flags itself.

People are so weak and petty these days.

The point was more so made to counter the claim that there’s nothing you can earn by playing. Tedious by design or not, I’m not gonna let an overt falsity slip by.

Again, I’m not the one making these initial claims, I’m merely responding to unnecessary strawman arguments set up by the individual to subvert discussion about art style differences.

Still a falsity with an element of truth to it when the unlock able content has been paced in a way that will guarantee an apathetic response. so even if it were a lie, the presentation makes it feel like it isn’t.

though it is good on you to call out disruptors of a conversation, just keep in mind there is an element of truth with some of these things, no matter the exaggeration.

I saw your post which got locked and I would not call it “kindly” voicing your issues.

Every topic I’ve seen getting locked are either unwelcome and unhelpful opinions, spam, or essentially bullying. All of which show a near unanimous negative response from the community towards the posts, hence why the posts get reported and therefore locked, to prevent more fighting.

My first one wasn’t, just a place to say “You did good, but it can be better.” only to get locked anyways.

likely due to timing with another one getting locked and sharing a similar topic.

though you are right, some are just straight up aggressive bashing, which in turn dilute the criticism to the point where it becomes lost in the rage.

Not you. The OP’s posts. I was not replying to your comment.

I was giving my own experience which relates to this post, not saying it was my post, sorry for the confusion and I am agreeing with you.

The topics get locked over specific posts being reported. So all in all a large number of people find them inappropriate. So it’s quite often not about the topic itself but rather about certain participants crossing a line that gets them locked.

I like to compare this to the way it would be handled in the real world. If you came to a company’s campus and talk the way some do on the forums they would be taken off premises. It’s quite often not what is being said but rather how it’s being said. And people really should learn to communicate in a civilized way.
