Thats exactly the same thing i did.
But think if there a choice to pick black, almost everyone would pick it.

He was being sarcastic. The first sentance should have tipped you off.

And making the game so that black is not unbalanced would mean making the levels so bright, there would be no shadows.

I dont think we will see black. In mutliplayer its to easy to lose sight of someone... then everyone will have black characters...

Are you aware why they took black out in the first place. It was due to the shadows, you were invisable with black, but having it back for H3 would be nice.

Black, in Halo, wasn't really black. True, it did look black in the selection screen, but when actually playing the game, it was just a dark grey (just barely darker than steel). So you never had true black in the first place.

As for your argument, I ask you this:
What would be easier, make every single mp level revolve around making black a balanced color, or not having black as a color option?

Edit: Ad_Hominum beat me to the whole "level" thing.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I was pissed when i found out there wasnt a black in halo 2. But then I realized that everyone and their grandmother would use it. They should make a steel team color.

1. Play splitscreen with one person as "black."
2. Look at the person with "black."
3. Come to the realization that you were living a lie.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Wow..black is camo in shadows/dark levels..blue is camo on blue tinged levels like Lockout or Hang em High..red or Brown is camo on sandy levels..green is camo on swamp levels..etc. Why do you all say Black is unbalanced? It's not like all the levels are Warlock Style.

Black would blend into a part of every level (as every level has a good amount of shadows), where as most other colors would only work on a few levels. With the new HDR lighting engine can only make things worse with a full range of contrast and realistic lighting.

White blends with snow, oj blends with the walls of coag, green blends in with backwash. So what's wrong with black?

Oh yeah, Red blends with burial mounds, that brought up issues with people playing snipes on that level and they wanted that removed...

It had nothing to do with shadows. I think we all know why Bungie didn't want black in their game. *cough* racist *cough*

Black wouldn't be hard to see if it had a bright orange visor like it does now or even a blue visor that wold be sweet looking on black armor.

Unless, of course, he was facing the other way.

Couldn't have said it better myself, you can;t change all of the maps so that you can add one color into the game, it makes no sense, there are plenty of other colors out there
