Flood Team Colours

Games Other Halo
1

I’ve seen an IGN video of the Flood gametype in action, and I’m a bit disappointed that all of the survivors default to a single team-colour. One of the reasons I like Infection in Reach and Halo 3 is because you got to see everyone’s specific customizations, without them being all Red or all Blue.

I’m not sure why they decided to change that. What’s the point of going to all the trouble to customize your character if we never get to see them as each player intended? Especially considering the whole mythology of a zombie(the basis on which the Flood gametype was built on) is the idea of individuality vs. conformity.

A small complaint, I know. I’m glad they found a not-unclever way to include the Flood into Halo 4, I’m not ungrateful. But it reminds me of how pointless team colours were in Invasion in Reach. If you don’t want people mistaking each other for Flood, just turn off friendly-fire.

It’s not a big deal, but I’m curious to see what you guys and gals think.

Yeah it’s not a big deal but I agree.

I was dissapointed with that too. I don’t really see any logic behind it either… And why bright yellow?

Oh well.

It’s an oddly specific change, isn’t it? I guess those bug me more than big changes, because they’d be easier to fix(or avoid).

I don’t like it either :frowning:

Yellow is like my least favorite color too.

I got the impression that everyone was just a default green colour. I hope that’s the case because it’s much funner when you can use your own colours.

Infection is one of few playlists where you can show off your Custom Colors. I hope we see this revert back to normal.

Agreed

I would prefer the old style but it won’t kill me if i don’t get it…

It’s an odd choice, considering standard Flood in Halo 4 have bits of yellow armour. So it doesn’t actually help to distinguish the two sides, visually.

I’m a LOT more concerned about the fact that we can’t use the said lime green/yellow color for our spartans.

I can’t tell you how excited, then disappointed I was from seeing the screenshots, then finding out it’s a team color only.

Very disappointing. Lots of people want to show off their custom colors in game types that allow it. >.<
