I wouldn’t have take offense to the idea of removing Red VS Blue if all the basic colors were available from jump and across the board, but as it stands now, it is such a gimmick to enjoy even a sliver of this abysmal player expression without knocking down the paywall.

Not the type of lazy outlines from infinte is what im talking about. I am talking about CHARACTER MODEL outlines, from devs that actually put effort into their main modes and models. That didn’t lazily throw red and blue colored highlights that go around the models they made cause they ruined all identification of whos friend vs foe
I miss red vs blue incredibly bad! I absolutely hate the new outline system. I hate other players glowing like Christmas trees from across the map and knowing that I too am glowing like the sun myself. You don’t even have to look for the enemy, they absolutely impossible to be miss. The outlines and shields are so distracting that all the stupid cosmetics people are buying are hidden beneath the blinding bright glow. Man I miss red vs blue.

They legit did this to add more value and reason in buying their 10 dollar armour and colours. I will never purchase one. 343 are trying to sell you nostalgia and a lot of you guys are falling for it.

Yeah! Imagine giving value to basic colors and players a false sense of expression by locking them behind a paywall. Or shaming those who those who don’t pay into the battle pass system by giving them little options for customization. Or, to add insult to injury lock any cool free armor far into the battle pass (looking at you MK VII), so buying the premium pass looks enticing!

Us players who also play BTB in our rotation get to regularly see our Spartans while we’re using vehicles. I’m looking at my dude shredding behind the warthog turret in game multiple times a play session

I enjoy the fact that my masterfully created combinations aren’t interrupted by a bland pigment. I love Red vs Blue but I think this is a nice change. I believe that Halo Infinites customization is one of the most advanced and accurate we’ve had, armor-wise and color-wise. It’s only fair that 343 gets more use out of it by removing red vs blue skins.
Pretty much nobody asked for it but shareholders who wanted more money, I’m sure. On the bright side, it is very cool to see my Spartan standing there at the end posing all cool-like, the way I customized them - not whatever team color I didn’t ask for.
I personally prefer being able to see my customized colors outside of FFA. I get why some people aren’t a fan though, I suppose. They should just give us a toggle in the accessibility options.
What and forgetting if you’re on red or blue stopped this? I mean, just shoot anyone with red highlights, or pink, or blue, or any other color. Not to mention you won’t stick out like a sore thumb when moving between cover
me because it looks cooler
yeah? thats exactly what it did

Not me. I don’t give a -Yoink!- about my ‘customisations’.
I’d just like to play games that aren’t infested with de-synch and lag and have decent weapon balance
To me Halo has always been about a bunch of red guys fighting a bunch of blue guys in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere and it should have stayed that way. I don’t give a monkey’s about other people’s customisation options and I don’t give a monkey’s about people being able to see my customisation options. With Red Vs. Blue everything is wonderfully clean and coherent, with the current system everything is a mess because by design the team colour outlines have to overpower whatever colours the player has chosen so you can’t even see their customisation properly most of the time anyway.

No one wanted it ftp or RVB removed other than 343… If you go back to their posts before infinite released they even showed how they didnt care what people wanted they said “we know people wont like our choices but we at 343 are happy and excited for them” (not word for word but same thing)

Red vs blue being removed is great, but the customization as a whole was implemented horribly

Whats so great about it?
You can pick what color you want to be, not be confined to either red or blue

Can you really see what color you chose? It’s a FPS. The advantages of red vs blue far outweigh whatever you think you’re gaining from more color options. The distracting outline system and blinding shield glow make you customizations completely unnoticeable. Red vs blue was much cleaner and Ray Charles couldn’t see you from across the map

I never asked for it to removed. But I like the new outlines system 100x more than red vs blue.
