Many people have wondered why MC's armor turned yellow (olive, light green, w/e), some think it's camoflauge, some think it's from battle scaring, I mostly agree with the later but here's what I have to add:

Based on what FOR says, the green color on Spartan's armors are coatings to deflect energy weapons.

But strangely, MC's armor is completely and 100% yellowed out, that means he was hit with plasma(or other energy means) in his helmet, arms, body, crouch, back, legs, and all the creases between the armor consistantly . However, his is hard to imagine because you would expect some inconsitancy maybe on his leg or back.

So this lead me to conjecture that MC was hit/showered by a big plasma beam ; either from a cruiser or scarab (or something else), maybe he had a life/death experience from this? Maybe not, but this is what I think.
--------------
edit: Could be any sort of energy, not just weaponry, based on what SLAYABOY117 said, the color change could have been caused by the forunnership's engine. (MC was inside the engine compartment at the end of H2. )
------------
Not dust, sunlight or reflection from desert.

Shishka: you fail at naming color

The fact that the color changed does matter
What shade of color? not important.
----------

Here are some explaination on the cause of the "consitant green decay"

- Reklaw Raed- Atmosphere re-entry
- SLAYBOY117- Forerunnerships thrusters

How many times have I told you guys I don't want no horsin' around on the airplane!

Looks like a shade of green to me, I don't see why everyone says it's yellow.

It doesn't matter what shade of green or yellow it is, the armor has been damaged by energy weapon and something BIG caused the overall damage.

from what i can tell, his armor is covered in dirt and caked on mud....delta halo had alot of dirt to roll in to kick covenant azz!, but i dont go super into detail, also, green for the army is a standard for uniform, and why make something yellow, gives away ur position too easily when uve lost the coating...

Well, he was in a "dirt cake" colored desert.... but like you I also doubt camoflauge as the cause for the color change.

Wrong. If he got hit by something that big, he would not be alive. Look at what happens from a Hunter's cannon, two hits and he's dead. Imagne something 4 or 5x that big (just to cover him).

It's reflections, give it a rest.

Maybe just reflectiond or a design change? Not something important. Plasma eats away at metals. it's superheated plasma, if chief was hit with something large, the armor would be smolders.

Reflections.... from what? The desert? If so, I wonder why the armor doens't turn blue under the sky.

Also, I never said he was definatly hit by a energy beam, considering all the possiblities, he might have fallen into a pool of plasma! All i'm saying is that he was showered by somesort of energy that made the coating fall off consitently and completely.

HAHAHAHA!! its a talent long lost but I can care less what color his armor is but I did notice in the screen shots that his legs are covered in dirt which makes me think do they become dirty over time or are they just made that way at all times

I do believe his armor is still green. Art thou colourblinde?

Besides, he just has some battle scarring on the breast plate, and his boots have mud on them.Nothing major.

well if its true that it turns yello when he is hit by energy, wouldnt it make sense that he is yello since at the end of halo 2 he was in the engine of a forrunner ship?

Dang! that's a great point, I could never tell what compartment MC was in at the end of H2 but if he was indeed in the engine then the blast could have caused the change.

just so you know... the coating on his armor that dispurses energy is just a reflective coating... its not the green itself

Bungie made the mistake of showing the new armor to the Bungie Webmaster forgetting that he greets all new things with rampant urination. Hence the fading.
