In Halo 1 we had the color black However in Halo 2 Bungie removed black because they thought it blends with shadow. Well white blends with snow, green blends with grass, and tan blends with sand and yet we still have those colors. In Halo 3 we have black but only as a force team color. Who wants the coolest color black back for Halo Reach Multiplayer?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

We have black in Halo 3, it is called custom games, forced colour.

Having black as a colour is just stupid, it does blend with shadows to easily.

uhh... not really no. What about white? and what if I want my multiplayer figure to blend with shadow? I like the color black and It would look really cool as an armor secondary or armor detial color.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

It's not simply color blending that's the issue. It's also the fact that contrasting color's show up to the human eye before flat colors do. The black armor is cognitively harder to recognize that any other color, provided the backround is not in contrast to black (snow, yellow sunlight).

Personally I love the color, the Spartan Mjolnir Mark V model in black looks sick.

It is a clear advantage, everyone would use the black spartan. You have Steel grey, be happy about it.

Sorry but Black is cooler. Steel is too light and I would like it if I can make steel as armor primiry and black as armor secondary and armor detial instead of all steel.

I really don't think this is nessacary.

It's just a coulour. Besides everybody already uses steel. With black EVERYBODY would use it.

Nothings cool in my eyes if 100,000 other people have done it as well.

I completely agree. Like Hayabusa is overused. Imagine black AND Hayabusa....

If you don't like black then don't use it simple. And I agree black Mark V would PWN!

Have you seen Black with Hayabusa? It looks REALLY cool! Try it in Custom Games!

  • 06.29.2009 7:25 PM PDT

It won't be included. It is the only color that gives an actual advantage. While it would look "sick" it won't happen.

  • 06.29.2009 7:51 PM PDT

You mean Blue team doesnt have an advantage in Cold Storage or maps like avalanche? The only playlist this would really affect would be Rumble Pit/Lone Wolves. I think they should add it back in because everyone has an equal opportunity to have black colored armor to blend into the shadows.

Thank You. At least someone wants black!

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

It's bad enough with everyone using Steel.

No black, no thanks.

Bungie has seen the problems with it ever since Halo: CE, they WON'T be adding it, simple.

Really? Then If that's the case why don't they use it themselves?

ya tht would be pretty good

  • 06.30.2009 4:46 PM PDT

Nomnomnomomnom

Though i personally like black, i wouldn't want it in the game. why? cause it really gives an advantage. you might say white or green or blue but seriously. YOU CAN SPOT THEM MUCH EASIER than black. furthermore almost all maps have a decent amount of shadows. so no black.

P.S. imagine a black elite, that would really be quite -blam!-, no reflective visor to give u away. =_=''''' do you really want that?

Don't be ignorant. Black really does blend with the shadows. White doesn't blend with snow. And you must be joking about green blending in with the grass.

Even if it's in EVERY SINGLE PERSON will use it.

You cannot be serious do you actully think white blends with snow? I was joking about the other colors! I know they don't blend. I like black it is the coolest color but your right, black does blend with the shadows, well not really but enough to make you invisble in maps such as cold storage. I remember the last time I played "braaains" in matchmaking. the zombies were black and it was hard to see but i manged to beat them. so I guess your right to a degree, black kind of blends with the dark. (except blackout)

From a distance all armor colours appear dark even if they blend perfectly with the surrounding area, so no. And in confined spaces do not blend with the shadows. Camoflouge should not be a factor in Halo.

I can predict that everyone would use it, just like all the idiots use Steel thinking theyre some kind of black ops special agent or something. Its not black, its GRAY. Ugly, annoying, GRAY.
True, but your not going to change the way I think about the color black. I still think it's the best color.

  • 07.01.2009 5:52 PM PDT

I think they should put it back in for the reason that halo 2 was more darker and if you look at halo 3 its all bright and -blam!-
