In Response To: Uneven customization options (WTF) (General Vagueness)

- Start Halo 4
- Greeted with message to customize my Spartan IV
- Hurry to do so
- Discover everything is locked, even emblems ffs, and the only thing I can customize are colors

- See Halo 5 has billions of new armors and emblems
- See most are locked
- See apparently emblems aren't even a customizable thing anymore, just a preset plate
- See none of the armor is piecemeal
- Wonder what the point of even calling is customization is anymore

I don't get any of this. More customization options = More better. What's the point of saying to the player, "Hey dood! Go make yourself look awesome!" and then locking everything away from them? Reach threw a ton of armor behind "pay walls" as well, but at least you had a fair little selection to get you started mixing and matching, and once you got going, you saw what you wanted and had attainable goals to aim for. Now armor is down to RNGeesus. So yay. That seems... super fun.

Oh, and you know the saying about satellite tv? 500 channels and nothing to watch? That comes to mind every time I sift through Halo 5's armor sets. 500 armors and nothing to wear.

I miss Reach.
