Why can't they make a real black and not just dark grey, they should also put more colors on the spartan so you could see the secondary color too

That's a rather bad argument for not having a black armour colour; most colours are hard to see in certain locations.

I think the reason for not having a jet black colour is: It may make alot of the detail on the Spartan's armour difficult to see because it'll all blend together because all detail is in black. You'll end up with a Spartan that lacks visual definition; I'm not certain if that's why they don't have that colour, but, it's plausible.

Are you retarded? JROCK was arguing against having black because it would be too hard to see.

Yes, however, he was saying it would be harder to see in the environment, I supposed.

In actuality, he doesn't give enough detail to specifically be able to know what he means by "too hard to see." He may be talking about what I said, I doubt it though, but, we can't tell for sure. Obviously, he will say that he was talking about armour detail.

EDIT: He just said (above) that he was talking about the environment having an effect or dark armour, not the armour detail.

Isn't this more appropriate via PM?

The areas that are black highly out number the areas that are the other coloers.

Do what it takes to win, cause it's do or die and living aint a sin.

well i would like black. it might be harder to see in some areas but in others it would make you stand out more. Also i think that you should be able to have custom colors in a team game. the icon over thier head is enough to display what team they are on in my opinion

That's right, Fatty.

Note: Well done to JROCK420 for being correct the whole time, although, I never said he wasn't. He proved he was right.

Well this conversation is turning into a fight so i think that they need to have a thing where you can make our own color. Like having Paint on ur xbox.

nah, steel right now is a pretty darn color. Any darker and it's like having active camo in the dark places.
This is from one of the mods awhile back.


So youre going to listen to what one of the mods says about the reasoning behind Bungies decision on armor color is? Why?

Hey, JROCK420 has concluded this discussion for us all.

I'm now holding up my hands and saying I won't be a bastard here anymore so, KEVINBROCK, the Texan, no need to continue with this argument.
