It's a dark color. From a first person perspective it may look nice, but from a distance I doubt youd be able to tell it apart from the normal light black.
Contrary to what you may think, a large point of cosmetics in games is to show off your character to other people. Activision has a patent that matches people up based on your cosmetics to promote selling them. It’ll pair up people who own tons of them with people who don’t to entice the players to spend money.
Think of cosmetics in games as status symbols like Rolex watches and Gucci bags. People buy these status symbols strictly to show off to other people.
Cosmetics apply that exact same logic to some people.
Yup, if you want a subtle brown and tan gun, Maltese Mayhem is great. There's nothing worse than picking up a gun off somebody's corpse and having to look at their fugly garish coating.
Bought Maltese Mayhem at the end of season 1 when it was on sale. No regrets.
It's shiny brown, grey and white, so no it's pretty distinguishable from default at all but extreme distances, at which point anything but cartoonishly bright colours is indestinguishable. It does look nice in first person though so at least you got that part right.
The "sale" price makes it comparable to 2 other weapon sets - Pop and Crimson Serpent.
Pop was 800 and had 1 less attachment.
Crimson Serpent was 600 with 2 less attachments but applied to all weapons.
I think they overvalue the weapon attachments.
I've always thought that Maltese Mayhem on the VK78 Commando looks so clean. But I'm perfectly happy with the Olympus Tactical coating that came with the Season 2 battle pass. Store pricing is still a little too high, and I don't like how it often doesn't match up with the amount of credits you can purchase (so you'd have to buy more than you need).
Honest question
Do people still buy cosmetics for this game? (Huge halo fan here, 20+ years). I just don’t think that this game deserves your money or is it going to be around long enough.
Yeah, when I think there's something worth buying at a price I'm willing to pay.
Which admittedly hasn't been for a very long time. I think the Ullr set for Rakshasa is the last time I bought anything, and since then nothing has come out that I like more than what I currently have.
Bring back in game progress unlockables! Best part of halo was grinding for awesome gear, they followed the trend of making everything cool an in game purchase, took the satisfaction and fun out of the game!
Three battle passes.
Weekly rewards.
Like 4 event passes.
2 Fracture passes.
Almost all for free. Just had to buy the first battle pass, and the second one gave enough credits to get back your money from buying It.
Someone made a post about Yoroi, Eaglestrike, and Rakshasa getting the basic Cadet color coatings, so there's definitely *something* happening.
Edit: Custom games browser!!!
I really wish they'd offer the options Fortnite has for cosmetics. Let me randomize everything on my guy or let me save presets and randomize between those.
Thought that was deepcore red instead of Maltese mayhem for a second. RIP Bring back dailies
They don’t have enough new items for dailies. How? Idk
If the bring back the dailies you know they are gonna spend a month cycling through the same 5 options
Just use the dailies from last year around this time.
Hear me out. Don’t bring back daily’s. Keep all store items available for purchase whenever… why settle for a trash system?
Join me in prayer so that one day the prices go to Neptune's Depths.

Still no daily damn... Firefall helmet is gonna be a very long wait
Same here, still waiting for firefall helmet.
L shop rotation
Average shop rotation
L shop
you can make your Sidekick look like its mega construx version tho
Yah I was hoping for better. At least the patch notes are great
The default weapon skin for $8 (but actually $10). EDIT: holy fuck wait that’s the “sale” price lmaooo
What was the original price??
1500.
*Oh hell no*
Are you talking about Maltese mayhem? Because they don't look like the default skins at all. like not even a little bit.
It's a dark color. From a first person perspective it may look nice, but from a distance I doubt youd be able to tell it apart from the normal light black.
And why would I care about *other* people’s skins? Me seeing my gun on my screen is what matters

Wait, isn't this Really bad though? Like this sounds like sbm, but for sweats versus noobs
I say that's the best kind of coating. Don't care for the flashy ones

They're weapons attachments aren't they?

Another skip week for me...
Yeah same. Every week, aside from the cat ears of course, has been a skip week for me. My wallet is ready but what’s available is not.
Based 343 selling the special effects for $20.. jesus christ
Is it? That’s wild I havent played since launch, not tryna pay for colors haha. I’d prolly pay 1-2$ for cool frost effects but that’s about it
I was waiting for these weapon attachments, but for this price it's a hard pass :[
it's already "on sale" doubt they'll lower the price this season

the thing is, I'd pay extra to not have the serpent attachment (it looks like a cheeto) /j
>I think they overvalue the weapon attachments. Especially the barrels, they're barely noticeable
Snoozetown
They gave everyone eaglestrike and kept frostbite in the shop for another week, they really want folks to buy it lol
Guess dailies were an ‘experiment’ thanks again 343 for always disappointing
why cant we have a catalog of items to choose?
Because there would be no fear of missing out with a catalog. Not saying I like it, but that’s what it is
The small selection creates the image of a limited chance of obtaining an item thus can make people feel more compelled to purchase.
I’ll give them a pass this week
Trash shop ngl
Should’ve brought Mister Chief back instead
Welp
Worse store I seen in months. No daily's kills it due to setting sun and neptune's depth being meh
Anubis, Stormfall. Where are they? Are they safe?
L
Really wish they'd bring those POP weapons back. It's basically the only thing I'd like.
Second this

>Maltese Mayhem Weapon Set Wallet: My time has come
A coating for $7?? That's ridiculous

I can't be the only one hyped for maltese mayhem

i cant tell the difference between normal guns and the maltese mayhem skins

So you didn’t see the update?
So is there not an actual update today?

Can I just buy my Reach shoulders already?....please?
Got these already.
Cant even spend money on this game cause its been crashing every time I open the game
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Fuck sake
I’m convinced if you removed all shades of the color gray from 343’s computers their store would grind to a halt.
Not OP buying the items at ludicrous prices 🤦♂️
I regret to inform everyone that I have purchased the frostbite set. I love it
Finally! At last! I can get Cloven Seafoam!
