So has anybody noticed that the ODSTs aren't anymore black, but more green, and grey.

I think that they look more like "normal" soldier, but still, I love 'em. And they still look cool.

Proof? And how would that affect their armor camo?

I think that Bungie made them more realistic this way, not a single special operations team use black camo at desert...

The ODST's Colours are different the Higher/Lower Ranked they are.

Answer to second one is answered in the first one.

That doesn't count as proof. It's just your own explanation

Not really.

Its true if you want sources then search for it yourself.

Maybe they got tired of black, so they decided to wear a different color?
Maybe were depressed because they were always wearing black?
Maybe they are wearing black, but the lighting makes it look like a different color?

So many possibilities!

You have no sources to back your explanation up. So It's just your own idea. I tried searching ODST ranks, but none found.

The ODST's are grey now, which isn't much different from how they were before, and as for the different colours they have in this game it's probably to help differentiate between the different characters, although I would imagine it is also related to their Ranks or specialisation somehow.

He probably ment "Moron", as in Idiot. Simple sleepy typo.

And xxsomethignwhateverxx

That is not a hidden movie. That is the 3D file which is liinked on their page.

[Edit-1]: Took me a while to remember ( 5 seconds after posting) that the files is a quicktime file.

There are a few on the bungie site. It allows you took have a look around a certain object that they are showing you. There is one for each member of the covenant species in Halo:ODST and there are a few others hanging around. It isn't a small file as well.

Requires QuickTime.

Also you can see the weapons in this format.

[Edit-2]: Here is link to the page, Clicky here and then on ENEMIES to view a pug ugly creation in 3-D!

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

in h3, the white around the arm meant squad mamber.
red ment squad captain.
guessing because the whites outnumber the reds.
i'm going to guess it's the lighting.
and if you havent't noticed, only the rookie and Buck are wearing standard issue.
everyone else pimped out their armor, i don't see what is stopping them from changing the camo, 'long as they still resemble ODSTs.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

Well if you really look at them in each progressing game, the colors have altered each time, as well as how realistic their armor is.

In Halo 2, they were the darkest gray, with the patterned sections of different shades of gray.

In Halo 3, they were a slightly less dark gray, with more detail to the armor and making them look more realistic.

In Halo 3: ODST, they are still shades of gray, but they aren't quite as dark so as to blend in more effectively, if they were darker they would really blend in only when it was very dark.

?
they're trying to make it more tactical, seeing how this is more of a tactical FPS.
and you want to blend in when being tactical.

So you're saying that none of them have ever reached the rank of corperal or sergeant?:P I think your statement is completely false.

The only change I noticed aside from the cool armour to show differences between them was their visors. What are they made of? Apparently they can just fade in and be as solide as glass.

Or put this way, they havn't needed to put as much detail into them before. I mean, before all they were, were a more elite class of soilder.

Now we have a storyline and characters, a plot intwned with them. We have a wealth of information about them, the picture of them has been focused better with every game.

And now they are in the spotlight.

We have this technology in glass paneling today, it is known as "liquid crystal".

This company specializes in it, and has a few images on the home page that show it
