For saint Patrick’s game 343i has made it in many modes that our Spartans appear to have a green color. One mode I noticed had this change was flood mode. Before today, all the spartans were an ugly, bright gold color. The Flood also received a visual change.
This makes me wonder, why can’t we be able to have our own human and flood colors? 343i is capable of changing it so why not just disable the forced colors? I don’t see how this is “impossible” for 343i to do if they can so easily modify player traits to make everyone green. We don’t even have the options in custom games to do so.
Also, it would be nice if 343i could modify the flood settings so Flood can carry weapons.
It seems like an idea everyone would like and it would make it easier to identify your friends. I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t be able to have our own colors (If not in matchmaking at leat in custom games) in flood mode.

343i is clearly capable of making these changes, we should be able to also.
I agree, I would like to see a second Flood Form Character Model though, one with a right hand remaining that is able to use weapons like you suggest. They could go more creative with the Flood Forms if they would like, it would always be welcome honestly.
Atleast it is nice to see them trying to add in some Holiday and such themes into Matchmaking, I always enjoyed that about Gears of War.
All 343 did was change character skins, even then it’s a simple (change team option). You realise how different, and how much harder, adding all these things you ask for are in comparison to this? The custom flood weapons can only be addressed by a TU, not a small update in which everyone is switched to the green team.

Actually, the flood in canon are already right handed. 343i changed them to be left handed so they could do an easy reskin of the energy sword. I would have rather had them do a duel wield option where the left arm was the tentacle arm and the right arm was whatever weapon you wanted, but I guess that would have been too much work.

But it’s a simple feature that was in previous games that they decided to take out.
I’m not defending the choice to take it out, just saying you can’t have it back until the update. OP seems to think that team changes and character models are the same thing

I beg to differ.
They didn’t change the character skins; they simply changed the forced color. Unfortunately, changing the forced color in Halo 4 is not possible by normal means.
Custom Flood weapons, forced color options, anything gametype-wise, will be done in a Megalo update. Not a Title Update.
Also, it is not team changing. No clue where you got that idea from.
Please get your facts straight before posting.
What if in Halo 5, if they keep the Flood Mode, you start off as an infection form and you can actually infect other Spartans
yea and the green color is very ugly
Good afternoon
Firstly, Necro Ahoy!
Secondly, I believe that 343i did not give the player the ability to change the suit color on the flood for gameplay balancing reasons and to prevent trolling. I honestly think that should be pretty self explanatory.
Also, Flood with weapons seldomly does happen in Matchmaking due to the game glitching from a bad host connection. Examples of this can be seen here and here .
Lastly, I actually like that 343i forced the color, as it gives them the ability to create unique gametypes, such as the St. Patty’s Day Flood, Ninja Assassins, Patriotic Regicide, etc. It allows people to enjoy the game more this way, as 343i can give the players unique legitimate gametypes.

Carrying weapons? By that you mean Guns, if you do it wouldn’t really be fun because the flood will just shoot you from ranges.
