Subject: Shouldn't Halo games ALWAYS have an orange map?

Come on, whenever you're playing Halo games you are constantly staring at a blue HUD (Heads Up Display), aka your radar, your shields, your grenades, etc.

And everybody knows orange is the perfect contrast for blue. So why not have an orange map every single time?

Just food for thought.

Complementary Color or not, Orange is a Garish color.

Our troops are facing towards the Sun,
Stepping on the earth of Motherland,
Carrying the nation's hope,
We are an indomitable power!
Our troops are facing towards the Sun;
Marching towards the final victory
And the liberation of entire country!

Halo games have orange maps?

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Because Orange is for Prometheans.

I'm not saying it should never be used, but overusing it throughout the entire game is a definite no.

Should every temple in Legend of Zelda be Red to contrast with Link's Green Outfit?

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

There's no way to get back experiences you missed.
So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss.

Why would I want every map to be orange?
