Common question on the forums: Why are Elite's blood purple?
Common misconception on the forums: Brute's blood is purple (it's actually black).
Less common misconception on the forums: Grunt's blood is green (it's very blue).

Now, I took qualatative analysis in high school chemistry, and it turns out that most chemicals react in some way or another, and some of the most complex chemistry is biochemistry. We don't know why aliens tend to bleed in bright colors (tozt anyone?), but it doesn't really matter for this idea: when two pools of blood overlap, they hiss and fizz as if a violent chemical reaction were taking place. Why? Because that's probably what would happen. Also, it could be really ironic (Brutes and Elites still trying to destroy each other on a cellular level).

I don't see any reason for that to happen.

I said Elite's blood is purple, Brute's blood is black.

I'm pretty sure the brutes bleed red... like people... I may have to play the game again though...

I've never seen a black pool under them before, not even outside where it's brightly lit.

Wouldnt the difference in blood color be due to the different gases they breathe? We bleed red because of the oxygen-rich cells in our blood. Grunts dont bleed red cause they breathe other gases(they use those back-backs). Maybe Elites bleed purple cause they dont breathe oxygen but Carbon Monoxide(or dioxide I forget), which is also in our air. Same thing goes for all the other species. Just a thought.

Makes sense...

An... interesting idea, to say the least.

There usually is a chemical reaction when two different blood types are mixed. Its called agglutination. Antibodies (protective proteins) bind and perciptate out the invading antigen in this case blood from another source. That is of couse the two blood types are different.

Let's go Rangers!

It would certainly heighten relative realism in-game.

I say go for it, Bungie.

Sounds like an interesting idea to me, would be cool, and probably realistic judging by some of the comments above.

Q. What do you get when you add 1 man, 1 car, and 1 rocket built for a jet?

A. A black smudge on the side of a cliff.

Well, it's something most people would never think of (I didn't) and it sounds interesting. But, I don't think it would work out. Yeah, if it was only a little bit off bubbles, but some huge explotion wouldn't work for sure.

By "violent chemical reaction" I meant bubbles and chemical burns on the floor, but if they wanted, they could go Grunt Birthday Party with it.

I would rather Bungie spend their time creating other things. Very in depth idea, not bad at all. I don't think it will happen though.

Why create things when you can have battling blood?

It's just added detail to the game to make it seem more realistic. Looking at the trailer, Bungie seems to be very focused on that...

I'm trying to have a serious discussion here, and from the other posts, I assume others do, too. Back off.
