Traditionally, the Master Chief’s visor has always been coloured gold in-game. Every Bungie-developed Halo title has featured a gold-visored Master Chief. Please refer to the following images.
So far, the only Halo titles to feature an orange-visored Master Chief in-game include 343i’s CEA and Halo 4. All the rest either feature a gold visor for the Chief or a yellow one. I included Reach because it features two gold colours (one light and one dark) but no orange option for your Spartan.
My question is, what colour would you prefer the Chief’s visor to be in Infinite, and why?

I feel like the Chief’s appearance is something the developers wouldn’t let you modify. Noble Six and Team Majestic had customisable appearances because they weren’t the face of Halo. Master Chief is not only the face of Halo, but he also represents the entire Xbox console and every generation of it. His appearance is iconic, and his character has been well developed over decades of content including games, books and films. It’d feel wrong if just anyone could change how he looked. Besides, it’s take away from that whole classic vibe they’ve been going for for Infinite. The entire point of Infinite is to feel both mysterious and very familiar. A customisable Chief would spoil that sense of familiarity for the campaign.
I think I prefer the gold look. The orange was great in Halo 4, but I think it’s because of the shade of green his armor was, which is my favorite shade of all armors he’s had. Looks too much like a dark lime green in Infinite

Yes, but they are darker shades of his visor. I like that oppose to lighter versions like 1 and 3.

I don’t think allowing us to change a visor colour is that big of a deal.

I assumed you were implying a fully customisable Chief. It would feel odd though to allow us to customise only his colours and nothing else. I’d say either go all out and let him be fully customisable or keep his armour set as it is and allow us to customise only our multiplayer Spartans, which could also be used for players two, three and four when playing co-op.

I clearly stated “I say customisation for 117’s visor.” I see no issue with that tbh.

I prefer gold to orange or yellow, as it gives Chief an astronaut look, with gold being used to reflect damaging radiation away from the occupant’s eyes. It’s based in real-world science, so makes the Halo universe a little more immersive.
We shouldn’t be able to change it though. Noble Six and our Fireteam Crimson character have always had non-described armour - every armour they wear is no more canon than any other, aside from possibly the default armour. Chief, on the other hand, is the face of Halo, and the face of Xbox. His helmet is almost a logo, so he needs a definite appearance. I really doubt that we’ll be able to customise the Chief’s appearance.
I’d like for it to be as shiny gold/orange and reflective as it was on the H3 Legendary Edition cat helmet. That thing still blinds me if I shine a bright enough flashlight at it on my shelf. Looks phenomenal.
I think it depends on the halo and the armor and the color of the armor to decide visr color.
id say Halo 4 had the best color and visr for Chief. It was contrasting but militaristic and uniform.
halo infinite should have more of a gold color with a hint of orange somewhere. And there should be no honeycomb on this visr. His armor isn’t like 4/5 so a honeycomb would look weird
Depends on his design and armor colors but the link you showed for the “discover hope” looks good for infinite. I think it’s hard to say what my favourite is because if you took one visor it’s hard to say if it would look good on a different model. I do like the H2A design though
I personally think Chief’s visor in Infinite veers between gold and orange depending on the lighting he is in, although I think it was a lot closer to gold in the campaign demo when he was standing in the ship. I am also pretty certain I am slightly color blind so my input may be incorrect lol. That being said, I do prefer a really vibrant gold color for Chief’s visor as I think that just stands out and looks pretty epic.
