Subject: Dont you think it would be cool? Not being forced to a color?

[Hoggin'] [Racing] [Mini Games] [Grifball] These are Kshesho's Specialties. Ive got fun new ideas all the time!

Grifball: I am on the team "Grifted" in the GGL and i am the captain of "Hammers of Thor" in the AGLA. In Dash i play tank and in Vanilla i play trick runner. Im moving toward being a tank in vanilla though.

See You On the Court!

Wouldn't it be a lot better if we could keep our own colors in team games? Possibly military names like delta and zulu could be used instead of being forced to be a team color. Do you think this would be more or less convenient in games?

If there's separation of species or if it's a free for all I don't see why we'd get forced colors.

Though obviously if there isn't, then there would be problems with identifying teammates immediately if everyone was a spartan or elite model with any color they choose. Even with the tag above one's head it's not exactly the most obvious of indicator's especially when immediately seeing a person after turning in the middle of a firefight.

Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.

Yeah, it would just be too confusing for team games.

Then we'd need the VISR to properly recognize teammates and foes. The tags when you aim on someone isn't enough, Halo is to chaotic. It would be okay for Invasion though.

Halo is one of the most important part of my life.

No.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

It would be neat, but wayyyy to confusing. A better compromise is what they did in Halo 2, being able to choose your secondary color in team games. You could also have randomly generate team colors so you won't always be red team, or blue. You may be pink/orange. (Map permitting)

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

This. I dont understand why we cant have our own colours in Invasion. I mean it's diferent species at play, each with very different size and overall siluets(?). Nobody would end up team killing for that reason.

Which is mainly the reason why I completely suck at WW2 shooters: everybody looks alike. Same goes for the Modern Warfail series.

Blue vs Red is clear and good and doesn't need to be changed.

Cool for invasion but WAYYYY to confusing other wise

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It would be cool, but too confusing. Unless, there's something specific that makes your teammates and/or enemies stand out when you see them.

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

Even if it wasn't impractical, which it is, RvB is Halo tradition.
