Whatโ€™s Causing the Frustration?

In various forums, players are voicing their confusion and dissatisfaction. Many are complaining that the body type variations appear almost identical. As one player humorously remarked,

"The two genders: Bigger Stomach and Bigger Ass."

Comments indicate that earlier body types have more defined features. A player noted, "Just some tweaks to certain body parts. Gone are the days of caked Reach spartans." This further illustrates gamer concerns about the lack of depth in character design.

Mixed Reactions on Customization

While some players believe the feature lacks depth, others criticize it as outright broken.

  •  "Iโ€™ve noticed it does nothing on certain armor cores like Yoroi."

  •  "Is my game just bugged? All of them look the exact same."
