Subject: The SPARTAN's armor color!

Does no one realize that if the Spartan in the new trailer is Master Chief 117 that his armor, regardless of whether or not it is still the Mark VI, is tan and not olive? I have not seen any posts about this. What do you all think about that little detail?

It's supposed to look like he has been through many battles.

1. His normal armor is Sage, not olive
2. Probably just dirt from wandering through the barren wastelands of Africa for too long.

the armor is different, if you look at a picture of the mc in Halo2 and him in the trailer it is different. Not just the color

I think its different armor because the color looks different and his glove plates are definitely different also but is definitely spartan 117

There was reference in one of the books(I think First Strike) that said the Chief's armor was was battlescorched and faded from it's green color to a drab olive looking color.

There was also a bit in First Strike where the Master Chief salvages MJOLNR parts from another Spartan's suit. Might explain a few changes......

What Color does a smurf turn when you choke it?

I dont think metal fades its probally anodized or w/e they do to dye metal. That stuff doesnt fade

I'll clear a lot of things by quoting this from the announcement of Halo 3 news.

Asked about the battered state of the Chief's armor, Marcus ventured, "The Chief is shown as warrior who has seen horrific battle – and it shows. The Earth is dry, barren, ravaged by the Covenant."

Basically, his armor is still olive but it's been battered. It also represents the Earth and it's current form.

Oh yeah, forgot about the whole Halo 2 thingy. The discoloring still stands up though!
Maybe the Halo 2 book/H3 prequel book will clear things up.....

Its gotta be a new armor color. Tell me, how does dust and dirt cover him perfectly around his visor, and all the black under armor he has? I think that stuff would be marked up too? come on people, its pretty good possibility that it can be a new armor color.

His armour is just BATTERED! Did you guys just skip the quote I posted? His armour is still MJLNOR VI but it's been battered badly.
