Who gives a -blam!-? He's battle scarred. He just went planet/ring hopping, fought countless Covenants, fell into the water, got Flood goo all over him, traversed the desert on foot, fought in space, and lots more. I think his armor is allowed to be damaged, faded, dirty. Give it a rest.


Smartest response in this whole thread-including this one.

We are not argueing that the armor got in that condition. What he is pointing out is the complete uniformness of color. If it was purely battle-related fading, as the starter said, we would expect un-uniform color. Which the suit doesn't have.

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


It seems more like olive to me. In the Fall of Reach, it was also noted that the Chief's suit became a shade of olive due to constant fighting and whatnot. I think that's what we're seeing here.

You know its possible that happened when he re entered the atmosphere in the forerunner ship... Just a thought.

"You have been measured, you have been weighed: And you have been found lacking."

Yeah.... except as you see... the armor is metalic silver beneath. MEANING if he were hit by plasma, the entire thing would have worn off... leaving him in silver armor.

It looks green enough for me... just covered in dust and battle scars

I see the green too... and the olive...

Also, I can't believe that someone didn't mention that his armour actually has some battle scars on it, ending that idea where it started...
There are some nice chunks missing from the right side of his breastplate.

Yes we are, (there are physical damage but since i'm focusing on energy damage, it's not very compatible with my idea) Also, look at all the avatar of Halo 3 MC, would you say it's olive or green? or would you say it's tan and yellow? That would be your opinion.

Here's something easy to digest.

The green armor coating is to deflect energy, when it's damaged, it fades. (FOR)

The lightening of the armor is not caused by sand or light or desert reflection. To me it's obvious by just looking at the picture I provided but you're entitled to your opinion.

The consitancy of the damage on the armor (caused by energy blast) has to be something whole and enveloping, otherwise, plasma gun/ turrent would only cause areal damage, leaving green patches, which is certainly not the case here.

To conclude:
MC's armor is damaged by energy
The armor damage is conistant all over the armor
Thus, the energy is total and enveloping, meaning it's a big energy blast.

Right now there are many guess to what caused this, if you have any hypothesis. Add and remeber to read my original post first.

Are you saying that olive is not a shade of green?

I thought it was green too, just new features because of the graphics and lighting.

Perhaps we haven't learned what lighting and advanced particle shading is yet, eh? That is definately a light green from the sun's lighting (for lack of a better word). 'Nuff Said

I think the H3 armor color looks better. Plus he is in sand environment, so that color would go well.

Good God -- how about it simply looks better?

You know? XBOX 360? HD? The whole better-graphics shebang that accompanies a sequel and a next-generation system?

But no.....Bungie must have been prompted to make this change not for aesthetic reasons but for some unknown dark desires.

Sorry amigo, I think it looks green to me. It maybe lighter, but It still looks green. Anyways, wasn't it green at the end of halo 2? Plus, I think he just landed on earth from the looks of the video. I don't think much has happened between then and now. Maybe a side effect from coming from the atmosphere?
