This is something called "Taking Halo Too Seriously".
The point of this forum is to discuss the canonical elements of the games, i.e. nit picking details. If you think that this is stupid, or a waste of time, then you can discuss the big picture of armor lock in the reach forum. Please don't just come here to tell us that we are wasting our time without contributing to the conversation.
By the way, I remember threads on almost all of the topics you have mentioned, including several lengthy ones on the projectile weapons.
On Topic: I completely agree with the OP, Bungie said that they were trying to make Halo: Reach a more emotional, deeper game with things like civilians dying and a scarier covenant to make you feel the horror of the Covenant destroying a planet. The colors of NOBLE completely distract from the effect, since they are so ridiculous. The blue and teal coloring makes NOBLE seem like a joke, not some elite unit.
I would love to see someone show me one thing in today's military that is on the front line (ground only!) that is painted bright, ore even light blue.

Oh yeah, like a couple stripes are going to give Jun away, I can't even see them, so that should tell ya something.
Small things can give a sniper away, especially since they lay still for hours on end, trying to blend into their surroundings. Blue stripes are a big giveaway when an improperly made ghillie suit can mean being discovered.
Things like this, and the lack of enthusiasm of the trooper in Winter Contingency saying that the Covenant are on Reach completely detract from the quality of the storytelling.
