Thanks for the reoly. Yea if this is the direction that 343 is going with Halo its not cool. It’s feeling like the Star Wars Christmas Special with all these alternate universe cosmetics before the storyline.

They didn’t want to do cross core because of canon but will give us non canon armor? OH OK

343 didn’t start this, Bungie did when they added a Haunted helmet and a Ninja armor set in Halo 3.

This has absolutely nothing to do with cross-core, but if you wanna get into it, yeah it makes sense that not every piece is crosscore. Some pieces just wouldn’t work with each other on that front. I’m a big advocate for cross-core with certain pieces that would make some sort of sense but the Fracture armor set post we’re on right now has nothing to do with that.

What? The original topic had everything to do with cross core armor bud.
Helmets have always been crosscore in Canon. Like Spartans with ODST helmets, MK V bring updated to be MK VI compatible. ODSTs wearing Recon. And with visor colors and armor coatings they literally have no excuse for “non-canon”. Heck, the Spartans are part of the military, over half the armor coatings are probably non-canon if you think about it. That was probably just an excuse so they can justify selling us the same items three times (more in the future).
Interesting enough, Tenrai armor has clipping issues. So they’re shooting themselves in the foot with regards to both arguments and the Fracture cores.

This is 100% my point and I appreciate that someone else can see my point of view. They’re so dead set on monetization but somehow leaving a ton of money at the door. It makes no sense and you’re right, they are shooting themselves in the foot with this business model.
Sure, they’re making money but they could make A LOT more.
ODST helmets were originally designed for spartans, actual odst have a lower cost version of the spartan version, but all in all, cross core would be neat

One of the things that you might be immediately curious about is how the items seen in the various Fractures relate to the core canon of the Halo universe. Fractures are divergent Halo universes or timelines, but for the most part, they all orbit the same themes. Each particular Fracture can share a variety of elements in common with core canon, but recast in a different light or interpreted in a new way. It was important to maintain key touchstones so that they all remain authentic to Halo, whether the Fracture happened to have dragons or was simply a twisted timeline that saw a markedly different outcome.
The first Fracture for Halo Infinite is called “Tenrai,” where blessed suits of YOROI are forged using ancient karakuri arts from the raw energies of the land—each hand-crafted for eager young samurai of unimpeachable honor to defend their clan and lands from the barbaric Covenant invaders. This is an example of the world-building “seed” used to inspire a particular Fracture theme — a small overview that gives a flavor of what’s possible in this alternate reality, with further details sprinkled throughout the in-game lore strings that accompany various customization items associated with their respective theme.

Still shows that different armor is compatible with different helmets. If they were design for Mjolnir, but are used on non-Mjolnir that still supports the point that helmets bring crosscore is Canon.
Oh. Honestly I would still buy it.

Pretty sure its because all armors are based off of Mjolnir and are variants, which why the armor is compatible with each other, which in turn makes it canon, which is why id actually like cross-core armor, but would prefer it to be between MK V (B) and MK 7 armor cores and leave the fracture events to themselves.

So now this guy’s roasting an entire country, nice.
And the original topic was about why there are samurai armor, not cross core.
Ehhhh ppl calling others toxic and arguing like they’ve been personally attacked. CHILL!! Holy heck lol We all love this game and we all love the universe that is Halo and hate it being changed for marketing purposes. Cat ears and samurai gear has never been part of Halo. Period. I consider myself a relatively hardcore fan of the halo universe reading all the books and playing all the games and watching all the film. This samurai and cat ear stuff seems like a Microsoft ploy to make more money. I’m not toxic and I love my Halo and i hate seeing big pharma inject the wrong stuff that makes Halo no longer be halo.

Yes absolutely, Samurai were certainly never actual warrior-poets. Definitely, weebs invented cherry blossoms, Samurai, Shinobi and every other item and theme from Japanese modern and classical culture. For sure bro. The cats definitely haven’t been an available theme since Halo 3 with emblems and Halo 5 with emblems and weapon skins.
Alright guys let’s pack it up. He’s on to us. Anime fans across the world invented Japanese culture and interest.
Are you gonna use that same logic with the Viking armors added in MCC? Or the Knights? Wow, knight armor in Halo? That’s cultural apropriation for everyone in the UK. Or what about the ancient Spartan armor in MCC? Is that the fault of weebs too?
