Alot of people on here have stated that the lighting in the upper right of his visor(your left) is lightning, not the flash that means he is communicating with other Spartans. The main theory that its not the flash for communicating with other Spartans is that we cannot see through his visor. Well according to Bungie(they make the game) they say we can even see the ammo counter through his visor. Here is the url and the text:

MC Montrose asks,


Hi,

I was wondering if you could elaborate on what you did for the select press members after the showing...

I hear you flew them around the environment of the trailer...

how was the framerate? how did the press react?




We flew them around the environment, flew out over the Forerunner structure, did a close-up of the Chief to show the realtime reflection of the visor (you could see the ammo counter running down in his faceplate) and showed off the unified lighting model we're using - particularly how other surfaces, such as sand, reflect light back up onto his armor. Frame rate was silky smooth, but to be fair, that was basically an empty environment with the Chief in it. However, we're obviously trying to make our finished game silky smooth too. I don't know how they reacted, but one journalist asked me if I had gotten any death threats.

By ammo counter they mean the ammo counter on the weapon.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Yes, the ammo counter on the gun can be seen in the "Reflection" of his visor.

I think they meant you could see the reflection of the ammo counter from the rifle on his faceplate when they did a close up.
