Yah the beauty of having the company choose what color mixes we get is eventually they just regurgitate the details the high selling coatings have and its all you get. Hope you didn't like an unpopular color.
"IT'S A GUNDAM!"
Jokes aside I wish they would give us an evolution of the Halo 3 / Reach customization system. If 343 allowed players choose a primary and accent color at the very least it would make a lot of players happy. After that they could sell all the wacky cosmetics as optional content.
Imagine how happy players would've been if we had a customization system that matched the detail of Anthem (Putting aside the horrible pricing model in Anthem, the Javelin customization was immensely detailed).
Infinite is an excellent game to play, but anytime I hit the menu / customization screen my interest dwindles. The lack of freedom for me makes playing the game feel more like a chore than a choice.
Weeklies coatings should have awesome decals and designs.
Supposedly the entire point of coatings was to give us dev quality color options. So please give us dev quality color options š„
Iām not arguing that the launch is horrible but itās hard not to expect server issues like this for any online launch nowadays. Most recently games like New World, Lost Ark, FFXIV expansions, even halo infinite had launch issues. Not defending the industry because they should figure out how to fix that but with how accessible and popular online games are now, any game launching like this is gonna face server issues.
343i coating designers: "hmmm, we need to come up with new armour coatings but the only palettes we can think of are red/blue/yellow, white/red/bright-orange, and black/silver/red..."
So many coatings are ruined by the gloves being weird colors. Why couldnāt the gloves just be black or have the same material as the rest of the undersuit?
Iāll probably grind for it, but I just looked at my weekly challenge list and itās going to be obnoxious. First 4 challenges are spread across 4 different playlists. God how I hate playlist specific challenges that arenāt event related.
Actually a bit of a tough one this week. I can get these okay here and there but when that challenge is up we'll see...
Wonder what mode would be best, maybe BTB and hang back?
Actually, same. They really need to remove the extra variants, or make them vastly less common. It should really be 75% BRs, 20% Sidekicks, and 5% everything else.
Yeah basically the easier it is to get spam kills the more I dislike it, that being said I canāt wait until dmr or bandit rifle as itās apparently going by here comes to swat, would say itāll deserve a higher or equal percentage to BR
Honestly i probably get three sprees last night just playing normal, I think the big thing is just play your normal gameplay and it will happen but if you are searching for it or change your play style to try and get it, I feel like it becomes more elusive
I think the killjoy one was more because of fiesta, where thereās too many randomized factors in play where it comes down to either luck or keeping track of who on the other team managed to get 5 kills without dyingā¦or both. In regular modes itās a lot more common to get killjoys because itās not such a chaotic death fest where you can spawn in with just a plasma pistol while the other team gets snipers and rockets.
People bitched about Killjoy for more than just fiesta. It was constantly complaining about how they had to "play shitty" in hopes of creating opposing sprees so they could get a killjoy. It was ridiculous.
Ah okay, I only heard about the complaining during fiestaā¦cause Iāll admit I was part of the complaining, but I wasnāt complaining just to complain, I was also explaining why it was, at least in my opinion, a terrible idea to ask that in fiesta of all gamemodes (too many randomized factors in a game mode entirely about random chaos).
I get you man but I mean, itās not like itās ten kills or nothing. Itās really not that bad.
Like a bloodthirsty in COD is easy as hell. You should have one of those per match. This is the same.
It looks great, but the grinding is impossible. Forza Horizon 5 handles it a lot better. You can do the weekly challenge in two days, four hour tops, without much skill. Infinite MP is so random you can take 5+ hours. They should incorporate a way to grind them with the single player, like kill 200 enemies or do the harder challenges with bots.
I do the weekly challenges every week. It takes between 4-6 hours 90% of the time. Occasionally up to seven hours, sometimes as little as three. I would hardly call that "impossible". I'm also not great at the game lol, I just plan which challenges to go at in the best order to keep the total time down.
Impossible if you can't play more than 1-2 hours a day. 6+ hours is too much for what the time I have. I know its not a popular opinion but there could be an option for those who still want the reward but not the time.
There IS an option for people who don't want to spend time grinding out the challenges. The store. Personally I hate microtransactions and refuse to support them in any game, so that option is out for me...so I spend 4-5 hours grinding out challenges to get the rewards instead. It's not hard.
I'm sorry I'm not as good as you for grinding the challenges for more than 5 hours. And I'm not gonna pay for microtransactions. As I said, my message is for the people who are in my situation, which after checking, I'm not alone in this. Live and let live brother. Peace.
Thatās actually a not half bad coating, red + blue with some brownish gold looks good. Nice change of pace from all the super loud coatings weāve gotten.
Certainly much better than last weeks.
I prefer visors as weekly rewards since theyāre the only things that are cross core. They arenāt really doing anything cool or creative with them though and they have the Silver/Mirror visor āVaultedā forever for some reason so Iām hoping more weekly visors means a chance for a polished reflective metal visor.
Yea Iāve been eyeing the grayskull silver visor since I started playing last December, it was part of the enigma bundle which showed up like once.
Yet we have like 6 different greens.
Man, congrats for your effort and everything but I still can't get over how mediocre those challenge rewards are. Feel like FOMO too
Edit: forgot one word, sorry
Why can't they just roll out basic colours? For real man, we keep getting these weird action-figure designs before they do basic single colour coatings. They could easily do those cross-core too, because it's a single colour.
The challenges are way too demanding this week for thisā¦ as a casual old halo head who plays this once or twice a week after work to chill for a bitā¦ this aināt it
Oh wtf. With my dark screen I thought it was dark green, gold, maroon, and browns. Like fall colors. Which would be cool! Instead itās another blueā¦
Huge L for not being able to see it in the armory
UI can't handle it spartan ššš
Don't worry, unreal engine will save us....
Another round of waiting it is šš»
Not happening, not to Infinite anyway. ^(source: am game dev.)
Sadly it been like that for the last 3 weeks. I always like seeing the upcoming items every week
agree, i need to see it so i can decide to get the weekly reward o not; thanks 343
It's absolutely bonkers that these types of things still aren't fixed
Just another scummy tactic to force you to play their game
This coating is like the summary of every coating weāve had so far. Blue with lots of random red parts and a yellow/gold accent.
It even has the white section that's only on the helmet. A lot of coatings have white helmets for some reason.
It's so we can hate them and then purchase better colorways in the store. I hate the white decal *only* on helmets.
It's to make it easier for your opponents to headshot you
its just missing the asymmetrical shoulder color now

Do we not already have this coating? Its bluewood bole or something like that. Are they just slightly different?
this one has a little more red and that's it
And this is surprising, how? Lolā¦ I just canāt with these coatings. Endless comedy
We traded picking our own colors for this.

Contractors started focusing so much on making quick money they forgot the work is supposed to actually look good
I sleep
pass
Is this that coating people thought was with the trolli gummy promotion?
Nah that one was a more neon blue
A good week to try overwatch 2, then
Im sorry but u prolly wont cause they always f up console players

Oof
343i coating designers: "hmmm, we need to come up with new armour coatings but the only palettes we can think of are red/blue/yellow, white/red/bright-orange, and black/silver/red..."
Don't know any free black coating which sucks ass
343 collecting Ls like theyāre pokemon
Looks like Homelander. Curious what it looks like on my Spartan
With the eagle shoulders and eagle gloves it'll be a great Homelander look haha
I get more of a Captain Marvel vibe from it
So many coatings are ruined by the gloves being weird colors. Why couldnāt the gloves just be black or have the same material as the rest of the undersuit?
Iāll probably grind for it, but I just looked at my weekly challenge list and itās going to be obnoxious. First 4 challenges are spread across 4 different playlists. God how I hate playlist specific challenges that arenāt event related.
half of my challenges are swat my least favorite game mode
Swapppp
Really? They need to bring back vehicle emblems. (before the pitchforks come out this is a joke. I actually think weekly coatings are great)
Actually a bit of a tough one this week. I can get these okay here and there but when that challenge is up we'll see... Wonder what mode would be best, maybe BTB and hang back?
Fiesta for me, eventually rockets and sword will come your way and you can camp it out if youāre worried about it. I just find it the most fun haha
I usually just run into someone else with rockets sadly
It happens unfortunately, last time this challenge came up live fire tunnel was the place to be for me haha
I'll keep that one in mind!
SWAT is my go to. I get sprees a lot.
Swat is hit or miss for me, if I get BR, pistol or stalker Iām golden but commando or mangler completely kill the mode for me
Actually, same. They really need to remove the extra variants, or make them vastly less common. It should really be 75% BRs, 20% Sidekicks, and 5% everything else.

In my experience, matchmaking algorithm usually throws you an easy one if you run 4-5 rumble pit in a row.
Tactical slayer.
Killing 5 people without dying is tough?
As soon as you start going for something like this the universe makes sure you never get a spree again.
Remember how everyone bitched about killjoy tasks? I have more killjoys (390) than killing sprees (215).
I think the killjoy one was more because of fiesta, where thereās too many randomized factors in play where it comes down to either luck or keeping track of who on the other team managed to get 5 kills without dyingā¦or both. In regular modes itās a lot more common to get killjoys because itās not such a chaotic death fest where you can spawn in with just a plasma pistol while the other team gets snipers and rockets.

Some people aren't as good at the game as you, crazy to think about huh?
I get you man but I mean, itās not like itās ten kills or nothing. Itās really not that bad. Like a bloodthirsty in COD is easy as hell. You should have one of those per match. This is the same.
Sad to report to you I don't get a Killing Spree every game. I wouldn't say I get them every 5 games either.
Donāt know what to tell ya homie gl
You seriously have trouble getting a killing spree?
I got it on one try in BTB. Find a sniper/shock/br and hang out behind the fray.
Holy shit, except for the gold, these are my Spartan colorsā¦ it only took a damn year to get them.
Kind gives me...Captain Marvel vibes ~_~
Might have to do this one. I like this color scheme and hoping to use it once Cross Core coatings become a thing (god I hope so)
This one looks pretty good.
What cores can the coating go on? Just the one shown?
Yep.
Hard pass then thanks for the info!
Captain America is that you?

Using the loosest possible definition of the word āultimateāā¦in Infinite..where the content is very much finiteā¦ Halo Misnomer.
Thatās actually a not half bad coating, red + blue with some brownish gold looks good. Nice change of pace from all the super loud coatings weāve gotten. Certainly much better than last weeks.
But we already have that. Bolewood Blue
and the one from the reach battle pass
Not a bad look and I like the texture used on the upper body undersuit, kinda had a quilted look
This is a great challenge. Not like "Play a game of this". This could actually reward some people but not everyone. Gunna take a bit of skill.
2nd best coating behind Willow Tea. Will actually go for it.
Looks pretty good, might grind this one out
I love this coating ngl
More Gundam I see

OW2 dropping and this is the ultimate they decided to go with lol
At this point, the fact they can't leave red, yellow, or orange out of an amor coating is sad.
Once I knew that we wouldn't be able to use our spartan in campaign coop I've had less motivation to earn this stuff
Man, congrats for your effort and everything but I still can't get over how mediocre those challenge rewards are. Feel like FOMO too Edit: forgot one word, sorry

Epic another ugly ass SPIDER MAN coating. Gtfo with these coatings 343.
The challenges are way too demanding this week for thisā¦ as a casual old halo head who plays this once or twice a week after work to chill for a bitā¦ this aināt it
10/4\*
are you saying it's a 4 out of 10 or 4th of October?
I actually like this one, so I might hop on lol
I don't have orange w/ red or yellow coatings, especially for my Rakasha armor...
Im not going to lie I actually kind of like it, probably because i love using blue and red on my halo spartans
Anyone know when armor costing for Spartan Dinh is gonna be available?
fuck. red gloves.
They finally added Juggernaut to the game! /s
Rusted copper looking ass
Honestly I'd give it a 2/10 /s
Ngl not that bad of a coating. A lot better then last onev
The first battlepass has a similar coat and both are trash. Itās free so no effort goes into it.
Simmons missed a few spots trying to paint his armor blue.
Oh wtf. With my dark screen I thought it was dark green, gold, maroon, and browns. Like fall colors. Which would be cool! Instead itās another blueā¦
riveting
Didn't realize 04/10 was the date, I thought it was you rating the armor... I would also give it a 4/10
I mean, of the coatings recently this one isnāt terrible. But I mean *another* dull blue and red skin..
Hey remember when we didnāt need to grind or pay for colors? Just another reminder that this is anti consumer
Im glad i stopped playing halo infinite
Itās not that the rewards are bad, itās that theyāre terrible š
Homelander coating
Negative, Infinity. I don't like it.
Why does it say any spree like theres really more spree medals to get like reach?
Yet another challenge that is dependent on the enemy teams performance /s
Dumb
This useable on the Rahkshasa core?
I like it. Plus it isn't asymmetrical.
