Lots of you have expressed 343’s decision in making our Spartans in War Games have undersuits that match their primary color. An early render showed that we originally were going full black, which obviously has changed.
Has anyone noticed that the campaign Spartan-IVs still have black undersuits? Makes me wonder why 343 didn’t give us the option to pick.
I guess it was one of those last minute decisions that wasn’t thought through well enough.
@ below: That has got to be one of the most pointless posts I’ve ever seen. The OP was just asking about the armor; is that so bad?
OH MY GOD! You guys are the whiniest people on the planet…seriously were complaining about jell layers now?..seriously?

Lol
I always thought it should be a third color option.
The only thing I miss along this idea is in the Flood, I don’t want to be Neon Green vs Flood, I want to be my colours vs Flood.
I think it’d be cool that for our Flood colours, our suit becomes the colour of our primary.
In all cases we keep OUR colours.
But as for the under-suit being black. I’m leaning towards it was a way to allow Spartans to be more their primary colour. Depending on the armour used, players would be more or less of their primary. As it is now, players are known by their primary and the suits accent, not dominate colour scheme.
… For Halo5, 3 colour selections would be nice. Undersuit, primary and secondary.
With that, different light-source reactive undersuit colours could be even sweeter with extras. The difference between neon, phosphorescent, infrared, etc… With the new XB3 hardware I think such “armour effects” would be sweet.
I’ve noticed this as well, and it definitely puzzles me. Past games have always had the perfect balance between black and player colour, while in Halo 4, the player colour is far too dominant. Like you said, campaign Spartans and John have their undersuits completely black, so why make it different for multiplayer Spartans?
Here’s to hoping that this will be changed in future games!
I don’t know why our secondary always gets overridden… Halo 2/3 let you keep some color. Our emblems aren’t as prominent as they were in past games either.
Goodness finally. I knew something was wrong. I tried making my spartan look like a Master Chief lookalike but I knew something was off and i didn’t know what. Now that I compare the two, it’s my sage undersuit making my spartan look off.
I don’t understand why we can’t choose the color of each individual piece by now? It seems simple enough and it should have been added to Halo: Reach’s armor and definitely in Halo 4’s. I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to have this option for Halo 5.
Yeah I agree that it should be black. The spartans look a little off with the under armor being the primary color. I personally have been thinking for a while now that they would look better with black, but it was a decision 343 made unfortunately.
If the option to change it makes Halo 5, I hope it is a toggle for primary color over making it the whole palette.
Yea it’s hideous.
