Subject: Whats with all the outlines on the enemys?

im Just trying to get more xp on my lone wolves 50 before reach comes out,Thats really the only time I put effort in. Other then that I mess around in social with friends... I use to play pretty seriously, that time has passed....

Every picture I see of ODST it has outlines around the enemys. Why is that ?

VISR outlines the enemies in red and from what I can tell it also ourlines important locations and objects it yellow and everything else in green.

The visor helps you locate enemies better in the dark. Remember that often the game will take place in the dark where it's hard to see your enemies. Also, I believe it was implied that it could help you see invisible enemies. I forget though.

There's no need for your attitude.

Yes, your right, it would help to spot invisible enemies. Which is why it's odd they never equipped the spartans with it... lol

I would like to also add that when you see...

Green its an Ally

Blue its a weapon

Red its an enemy

And I believe Yellow is an item of importance

thanks for the input everyone. But can u guys stop acting like a bunch of know-it-alls? I dont browse 24/7 checking threads and whining, so how am I suppose to know. Thanks to the people who gave helpfull responses.

Now what is the purpose in this colour coding asides from unneeded annoyance? I had no problem seeing things the way it was

I'm sorry, but if your the least bit informed, if you watch ONE video, you would know.

Several maps in campaign and in Firefight are very dark and hard to see this helps you see who is a ally and who are your enemies.

People Die..But Spartans Live Forever!

Delta Squad X

All of the information most of us know is not from the forums..if thats the case we all would be screwed, because we all know alot the posters on here dont know a damn thing lol...but we DO watch the Trailers and game videos, and it might sound scary..but yes we do read the news/blog posts on the front page..which is why i dont feel the need to come to the forums alot..because its mainly a bunch whining and crying for no good reason...maybe you should try watching the released videos as well..might save you from asking a bunch of already answered questions.

Yeah, I would watch the videos, except im running a windows 98 piece of trash computer that doesnt run videos... The blogs take way too long to load for me... The forums i was just barely able to get through... its not a crime to ask a question.. instead of letting it anger you, just answer or dont post. Thanks to all that did answer, once again.

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