As some of you are already aware of, Spartans aren’t affected by shadows and basiclly glow in the dark. So why can’t we have it as an option to turn it off in custom games? I do know that it is for gameplay reasons but it’s mostly there just for matchmaking. I also know that halo 5 isn’t ment to be getting any more major content update but this would be a minor thing but major for the community if its able to be turned off…
I was unaware of Spartan’s glowing in the dark. Maybe its just the lighting on certain maps?

No, the Spartan models are unaffected by lighting to other players, it was done because the game was taking a very competitive stance so it was to eliminate certain coloured spartans from having an advantage by hiding in darkened areas of the map

Gotcha. That makes sense. I don’t pay much attention to the competitive aspect of the game so I didn’t know. Thanks for clearing that up

Yeah no problem! I do think OPs idea to turn it off in custom games would be great though, it could really help with machinima creators (if they even exist anymore besides RvB) and forge creations that are trying to pull off a more atmospheric map

I agree, knowing that now. I’m sure the content creators would find it helpful if it was an option that could be disable/enabled at any time
I don’t see that happening in H5. Maybe it can be added to the infinite Wishlist

Same. It doesn’t seem to be an important enough issue for 343 to work on a fix for it at this late stage in H5’s life.
Never heard of or don’t remember them saying it was because of competitive reasons, but I do remember them saying they changed the lighting because it was hard for people to see the blue team on certain maps which affects casual and competitive players.
I wish
