*PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR DECISION*(<---intellectually)
Also, please note that this was a thread I made a while ago for Halo 3, though now, it seems good to be put into decision here. I'm sure this has already come up, though I'd like to centralize the idea into this thread. Mods, if there is a problem, please lock.

i've always loved character customization. the other day, the ODST's with their dark blue visors caught my eye. i was thinking it would be cool if in the armor colors section, there would be a visor colors section too. of course, it would/should not support the full range of colors as the armor would, but maybe just a select few, or maybe even just gold and that dark blue (no transparent). of course, this raises the question of "what about elites?" - maybe the color of the lights/other on the helmet? just wanted to know what the community thinks.

>Possible colors:
-Gold(default)
-Steel
-Dark (ODST) blue(example of dark blue visor for the clueless: here not my screenshot)
-Dark green
-Mirror (pure reflector)*could cause lag
-"Master Chief"/Scratched (default color but weathered with scratches)
-Blood red
-Gloss black

>Elites: i have come to a decision that this would probably have to be a combination of the lights on their armor, their eyes, etc.

> or the colors could possibly be a match of the detail color, and maybe there could be an adjustable level of reflectivity
**NOTE: this is just an idea, and i dont expect for the wide range of colors selected here to be supported if this feature is considered**

-SUGGESTED IDEAS-

There should be VERY limited colors, and for the Elites this would probably best covor skin color.

Spartan Visors:
Gold
Silver (ODST style)
Bronze

Elite Skin Colors:
Brown
Gray
Blue (really dark navy blue)

If brutes are included, their fur colors should be:
Brown
Gray
White

Also, I agree that the lights on the armor should also be customizable. But for all the races.


thoughts/comments?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

YES!! I really wanted different colors for the visor in Halo 3! Because for some reason it just makes everyone seem the same and just not as individual...and I wanted to look more like an ODST :P. And I totally agree with all the colors you listed for the Spartan...I hope they put colored visors
in Reach! :D

Don't hate... ...loathe.

I agree with Fos Tis Krisis except I would add a blue, love the Brute colors for fur. I think they might make it (the Brutes) as a special charicter on certain game types, like a Zombie game. Alpha has the Mo Hawk or the fancy head wear. You could identify your buddies in custom games that way as they use they pimp slap moves on you.
