Overwatch had e-sport team skins that were just the default model(of every character) with palette swaps on the weapons, clothes, armor, equipment, etc.

[@A.A.ron_Ch]

I wish for the colors they had adopted something closer to what DOOM 2016's multiplayer did. You could pick a primary/secondary color for your armor, but many of the different colors were locked so you had to level to get to the flashier ones, like the ones with a pearlescent or matte finish. I think 343 could've done something similar while still monetizing the system, i.e while being able to choose primary/secondary colors, leave the standard colors free but have like pearlescent/matte colors or different colored camo patterns be something you could buy or unlock by playing the game. DOOM 2k16's multiplayer did a lot wrong, but the customization was absolutely not one of them.

[@patrickhector]

Rocket League has a ton of colour options for red and blue, just locked into a range of orange>red and purple>blue so you can identify each team easily. Really doesn't seem that crazy to have fully customisable secondary(/tertiary??) colours, and options for what shade of red or blue team you want your primary to be.

[@Cheesepuff8]

I think how BL3 did it could work, you have skins/coatings/colour configurations, but then you can change the primary/secondary/tertiary colours of those skins

[@devious338]

[@bombomos]

I agree..... But then how would they get their money from the free to play multiplayer???

[@A.A.ron_Ch]

@@bombomos Like I said, for the fancier/flashier color options, for examples colors with a special finish or camo pattern, they could charge for them and maybe have a few available as unlocks either for the base game or part of a battle pass. Assuming there's like 10-20 base colors to start with, you can then have the same number in however many other finishes/camo patterns as they can think of, and could charge, for example, $0.99 for the less popular ones, up to $4.99 for the particularly sought-after ones. With this model I'm assuming there's at least 30 different color variants that could be available for purchase (though I'd hope that some of them you could unlock just by playing). Keep in mind too, this could also apply to weapon customization. It's probably less profitable in the long run over however many thousands of color combinations they can make coatings out of, but I think it would make for much more freedom for player expression.

On the note of games losing artistic style, I feel that 343 could go the Destiny way, where it’s been running for years at this point, and due to the expansiveness of the universe and ideas in it, it can’t really lose the art style, Halo is such a massive universe I think it would be weird if 343 went that route, since halo has so many options to make unique armours out of, without breaking halo. A good example would be Helioskrill from 5, where it’s meant to be like a set of elite armour.

[@jakobbuckles4472]

Along with being able to pick different colors for the outlines. I hope there's a setting where you tone down the brightness and/or thickness of it because I feel like that's my biggest problem with is just how "loud" it looks.

[@oldcrow6752]

Completely feel that concern about monetized cosmetics ruining the artistic presentation of the game. Bigtime worried.

[@allenmacias273]

Not many seem to be noticing that armors are probably gonna locked behind cores. It looks like you’ll only be able to wear helmets from halo reach, if the reach core is equipped. So you won’t be able to wear the new gen 3 armor and wear a helmet from reach, what worries me about this being true is 343 has not addressed it. Also the red outline around enemies is completely unnecessary. In the gameplay shown, team mates have a blue outline and can be seen through walls on the map so you know where they are. If an enemy player has no outline or indicator of any kind, then it’s obviously an enemy. The outline on enemies is so unnecessary. If rvb was disabled in halo 3 right now, it be easy to tell team mates from enemies because your team has blue rectangles above their heads

[@allenmacias273]

@@lordjeremetrius nah the legs and arms are clearly tied with the cores.

The Armor Core is Basically that, the main Core of the Armor, in other words; The techsuit, could be the Classic Gen 2 from Halo 3, the version of Reach, the techsuit from Halo 4, probably with the colores segment or full black techsuit Every techsuit has different details; H3 Techsuit is entirely clean, the Reach one looks More like cloth instead of leather, that from H4 has that point pattern, or that from H4 with the Little armor sections under the chest, or at least that's what i think

Honestly my favorite part of this whole 10 year plan is the idea that eventually. We’ll get references to cursed halo.

[@KoPT01]

I'm still like 80% sure that all of the base solid colors will be available as free coatings that everyone starts with. Mixing and matching primary and secondary is probably not, but if you just want to be blue, red, or yellow, that you will be able to right away and for free.

[@RTDice11]

Honestly, I'm just glad 343 didnt toss the baby out with the bathwater! I liked the sprinting, climbing, hitmarkers, and snappier TTK, but they went a bit overboard with the system bloat in H5. This looks like a great marriage of old and new. Also, I'm glad they added the red outline instead of RvB. 99% of of the time we're playing team games, so you never got to see your color choices anyway. I just wish they would've let us choose our colors and sold some patterns, tarnish, coatings, decals, etc instead, like Planetside 2.

[@TheSchnieder6]

For the friend/foe outlines. If they'd have just the basic armor colors from previous games as default coatings. Then split them into similar team colors. Rocket League has Orange vs. Blue, where you can customize your paint separately for each team color. Have a "Team Colors" option where you can pick from a range of colors that match the team colors. "I want this yellow/green color if I'm red/blue. If the game mode has a green/yellow team I want this color instead if I'm blue/red. If the game has purple/[team color 6], I want etc." That way you still have some amount of control over what you look like when someone is using this theoretical color toggle.

[@Ebk-vk8px]

They never said there was stuff in the store you can buy out right. They specifically said they don't want to do that and said everything is earned through gameplay no matter if it's free or from the battle pass

[@thegrapethief5514]

The pocket overshield and active camo are exciting to me because they just open up more possibilities for unique gameplay. They aren’t moving away from classic halo by making them pocket items, they’re emphasizing it more than ever before. That moment when an enemy starts pelting you with bullets, you duck behind cover, and they rush close to finish you off… totally oblivious to the fact that you just pulled out that energy sword you had in your back pocket. Imagine you’re being chased by someone with a mighty weapon like a gravity hammer or rocket launcher. You get out of their sight, use the active camouflage, and sneak around them to assassinate them. It opens up tons of creative ways to surprise your enemies and use the items when they matter most.

[@GatoMano990]

what i like 343 doing with armour is that battlepass armours will be more in line with canon interpretations, while with their smaller events like fractures, them getting more loose with the artstyle, like with yoroi

[@ThunderbolttheFox]

My opinion on the Hud lines, is make them reticle based. If someone is off to the side of your screen, the outline is toned down, or even gone completely, but as your reticle pans closer to them, the outline becomes more apparent, becoming full strength when you're looking almost directly at them. As for red vs blue, I do think they should include a game variant that does include that type of mode. As for me, I'm find with the idea of coatings, as even though I'm a fan of the classics, I've always wished my spartan would show up as I have customized them, cause I really like black with some gray accents, but always had to settle for solid red or blue in most matches I played.

[@commanderkei9537]

Small gripe, but I hope they get rid of the blue electric effect on the drop pod. It just doesn’t make sense and looks like it’s there just to be flashy. A cloud of dust or rock or sparks (depending on where it landed) followed by just a more modern looking Halo 2/3 drop container would be immensely more preferred to this drop container that seems to be trying to be pushing humanity more towards Sci fantasy rather than near future military aesthetic (The Spartan armor, for example, definitely returned to a practical, reasonable near-future looking design).

[@xalener]

Prefacin' this to say, I'm an FX artist. It was an effect that was definitely designed for sandbox reasons. It can't all be 100% diegetic. The FX artist's MO for such a job was certainly to make an unmistakable effect that draws attention and can't be conflated with anything else. If it's just a cloud of dust or sparks, that'd just be the same assets one would expect to come out of a bullet impact or a frag explosion. People have gotta be able to see something out the corner of their eye in the distance and immediately go "new weapons spawned."

[@thegrapethief5514]

Simple solution to the outline: instead of having outlines on enemy players, go the mcc route and have it so that you see your teammates tags through walls (though maybe use the outline on them so that their tag isn’t cramping up the screen), but you don’t see any outline on an enemy player. This way, stealth is still an option and the immersion is a bit better (even if you’re teammates are highlighted, but that could also be replaced by instead having it so that if a teammates is in your crosshairs or visible to you, they are either highlighted on your screen or your crosshair turns green, regardless of range), but still allows for armor coatings. To be honest, red vs blue was never really necessary for me. I always ended up telling friend from foe thanks to clan tags and such. If you had normal colors, like in ffa, I would probably be just fine with the tags. Hopefully there is an option to remove the outlines.

[@samm.8052]

I had an idea for a Gundam-style vehicle like a mobile armor or mini mantis, where one player would pilot and use the guns, and another player could hop into the back and use the missile pods. It'd be cool if a vehicle like that made it into infinite.

Video idea: Why arena shooters have gotten less attention and why halos formula for them has kept players coming back.

I liked your tooling video on ODST for MCC, and thoroughly enjoy your history on the weapons and how they impact players, immersion and the sandbox itself. Patreon is always an option for creators, especially in getting a passive income, perhaps having reward tiers for very specific Q&As that take more than a few moments to answer, or whole videos generated from one. Whatever you end up doing, I’m sure your content, especially in the light of Infinite, will be much welcomed and successful and I look forward to whatever that is.

His and your content really have a lot of personality and every time I watch your videos it feels like I'm talking with a friend, now I know I'm really not. I'm not falling victim to that parasocial relationship delusion.

[@muhammadraafey567]

A good compromise on player outlines would be to only show outlines (or any other HUD elements like Service tags in previous games) for your teammates. That way you can tell that anyone who doesn't have an outline is an enemy provided you've spotted them in the first place.
