What also gets be about all this is you can’t even OBTAIN the cat ears right now and it’s still this upsetting.
What hurt me the most was there was some genuinely okay armor in h5 but it was all “Sets”
Which still makes me beg the question as to why after all this …
CAT EARS… makes everyone crumble.
But cat ears silly my guy
Halo has never had silly stuff when bungie held the ip
*ignores flood doors and the assault helmet on the elite
*ignores you putting your skull on in reach’s opening if you decide to use the haunted helmet
*ignores the .a to the double s error in halo 2
*ignores B.U.N.G.L.E.
Nope none at all bungie was always serious
I don’t think they are transferable, i.e. those hired to make cosmetics tend to have skillset to make cosmetics.
That said we do know from a 343i post on Reddit someone who could have been working on what we collectively call desync is working on something else of “higher priority”.
Holy crap a fair and honest argument.
You’re right, they are in fact very different job categories. I actually mention the same thing in the OP; But did so as a means to see if anyone has enough forethought to catch that, while also giving a good example of a much more worth while set of topics to discuss than cat ears
Weak minded individuals mostly. The ears are very small and insignificant design wise. People act like it changes the whole Spartan designed to make you look like a cat.
If little things like that bother you, you may want to consider locking yourself in your room and throwing away any device connected to the internet. I’m surprised you’ve lived this long as is lol.
Perfectly summed.
And I’m honest what are people willing to spend money on if not armor? And if it was all canon armor people would flip.
People ARE upset about store based canon armor.
Did it not make sense to charge for wild and non canon armor/attachments instead of stuff like jfo, cqb or locus???
This could be the reality but people are so upset by crazy cosmetics they’re pulling us further and further from the ends goals of limiting armor ion the shop and getting out custom colors back;
But hey; cat ears are the worst apparently.
Yes, that’s exactly how I have treated alot of armors in Halo. I don’t see a need to even classify Canon and Non Canon mind you, but since people are going in that direction, I simply explained my opinion.
Back before Reach even existed, all Spartans canonically only used Mk5s and later Mk5b when Reach was a thing and we first encountered S3s. When H4 came out, then we’re suddenly wearing Iron Diapers as canon. So I’m following that logic: Cat Ears in campaign cutscene, Cat Ears canon.
A good lorebuilder can make something as dumb as Cat Ears special, so I’m not worried at all.
PS. I said Campaign cutscene. Yoroi cannot be worn on Chief without hacks. But if you are entering the logic of MP Cutscenes being canon, then I have to simply direct you to the various games with a customizable avatar and cutscenes.
They all have a solid canon look or style, but the freedom of customization is the Player’s version of their story. Hence why I find the entire Canon argument entirely bloody pointless. It’s Canon to some players, non canon to others, as it should be.
H5 had Timmy & the Olive Helmet which were a Whale & a Pig Helmet but Cat Ear Attachment is where we complain? Understandable guess that makes sense then
Say my name three times. I shall appear.
Also I’m fine with anything and everything, IF we get a toggle to disable it all. That’s what I said.
If you’re so scared of other peoples’ armors that you need an in-game toggle to turn them off, then I honestly feel bad for you and don’t consider that a valid reason.
You being general, not specific.
Wow you repurposed my own comment and are trying to characterise my view as one of rage instead of passionate advocacy.
Someone felt attacked, huh?
Even the people who I’m debating with don’t think I’m like that. Nice try though.
Well 343 made MP canon so we have to. Not dismissing your point at all, just a reminder that our Spartans stories are canon. I mean Eckland was a part of fireteams crimson. Meaning one of us was Eckland technically.
Edit: we do know there are other canon variants that have been shown in other forms of media like Kurt’s armor in Onyx, or the variants that went to the rest of blue team during the later years of the human covenant war.
Why do the new armors scare you so much though? Why do they need to be turned off? Why is your game experience ruined by other people wearing these armors (that are available to everyone)? Are they harder for you to shoot? Are their teabaggings more infuriating?
Life is just easier once you learn to accept that it isn’t going to be the way you want it to be all the time.
What if there was a canonical MP mode (something like Invasion,) and in that mode you were limited to certain armor pieces (excluding non-canon and cat ears etc.,) and forced to wear the camo of your team.
I’d be into it!
More or less this would be a mode with fracture/Fotus excluded. or some one would have to go armor by armor and mark canon or none cannon.
At which point you have some problems. the holo effects yeah all of those are 100% simulation effects, so none of them are canon.
But you have other problems.
The cat ears, I can see a spartan welding those onto their helmet as an amplifier system or to help when interacting with kids. that is outside of the weebs who would do it just because. (there are more then a few soldiers in Iraq and even Ukraine who have for some reason put cat ears on their helmets IRL)
Take the pineapple grenade chest piece, once again something a soldier would do with dummy or dead grenades but would it be canon?
then you have personal items like the gun charms… it is just so muddy.
If you’re so scared of other people having a toggle then I honestly feel bad for you
Personally knowing soldiers, I can say this the only bad cosmetics that make no sense right now are the holo ones… which something tells me are all simulation effects and none cannon meaning if we where to paly “canon” missions our holograms would not be there.
Not really, spartan IVs are just soldiers and they will do something soldiers would. Sure they are strong willed high functioning combat units but they are still human.
The only reason spartan II’s didn’t oh wait 2 of them did stuff like that. then you have the spartan IIIs who well we all know the main one.
they are soldiers and they will pull what any standard soldier would. Some times you need to laugh or have something to make you stand out.
I mean the S4s certainly aren’t as serious as the 2s, but in Spartan Ops they came off as absolute idiots tbh. I think they’ve improved a lot in Infinite.
We’ll have to agree to disagree about how the Spartans act, I suppose I’m basing this mostly off the fall of reach, which to me is the absolute core of all Halo canon (it is the first, big explanation of the universe.)
Which Spartan II’s are you referring to? Maybe I’m not remembering right
As far as SIII’s are you referring to Emile?
I can’t remember the names but one of the II’s was the one which has the teddy bear which we can get in infinite. And the other was some one with purple armor.
Emile is who I am referring to with the III’s keep in mind people complained about his helmet at launch and it being to edgy for halo… to silly for halo. As if we didn’t have grunts causing us to laugh in every game.
Or Chips.
People who say halo has always been completely serious no fun haven’t really looked into halo. IT might be a war story but every war story has their jokes.
