Ok, Bungie mentioned in an update that there is a new thing called precomputed radiance.

Now radiance is the light that reflects off of an object.

EXAMPLE of RADIANCE
take a white peice of paper, and place it in a well lit space.
Hover your hand over it and you will notice that the light will bounce off the paper
and give your hand somewhat of a white glow on your palm.

The desert is sand, sand is a light and very bright yellow/tan color, his armor is green and reflective. So when the sun's light hits the sand, the color gets reflected onto the cheif, making his armor look like it has a golden brown look to it.

Proof of what Bungie said about radience
Q
What kind of graphics can we expect from Halo 3?

A
Halo 3's graphics will include the features seen in the real-time trailer and more, these are rendered using a new graphics engine, making the most of next-gen features like HDR (High Dynamic Range) lighting, pre-computed radiance transfer, and much, much more. The game will also take full advantage of the Xbox 360's HDTV capabilities.

People are so dumb these days. I guess they forgot that the Sun and sand make reflections and change how something looks.

No one is laughing at you. What you say is correct. Light changes color. You must ignor the idiots on this forum, internet, world.

aight psychomunkee, i read ur post this time and i agree. the desert may in fact cause a reflective effect on MC suit. so in reality, it is green, but the fact that...........he's in a desert makes it brown. perfect sense. personally tho, i doesnt matter to me what color his suit is, as long as i can make it either white or black in custom games, cuz that would be da HOTNESS. but im content w/a brown cheif in campaign. but thx for clearin that up!

Since when did yellow and green make brown?
Green = yellow + blue, therefore yellow + green = light, yellowish green, a pale lime perhaps, depends on the yellow.
But seriously, try it yourself. Tear yourself away from the PC screen for 5 mins and mix sum paint. Or hold a leaf in sunlight, whatever.

There's just one problem with your theory.
In the scene in the trailer where the Master Cheif is looking down on the "structure" from the edge of the cliff there is heavy cloud cover which dosent allow the sun through. So there would be minimal radiance transfer, and yet his armor is still tan. Good theory though as it was based in fact and not speculation.

Brown is a useful option when pink is unavailable.

good point but that could also be the darker lighting when the sky turns grey, dont know about that one tho. his armor still remains that lovely olive drab tho

1% Onyx S9
2% Onyx S8
20% Onyx S7
LW 50
TS 50
TD 50
SWAT 50

with this pre-computed radiance transfer, i want to see a mp map with all kinds of different colored lights so as you run through you can like be changing colors
or to be more realistic, a map where the bases are lit up brightly with their color, so the enemy can enter and can sometimes blend in with the enemy team
