What happened to the all black under armour?

Just stumbled upon this image/render, I remember it being posted in the news section, before the game was released. It looks so much better than what we get in game.

A last-minute (And absolutely terrible) design change by 343. I love Halo 4, but that’s one of the few things I dislike.

Another (very) bad decision made by 343.

I really hope they can make a better Halo 5…

Totally agree, wouldn’t have been so bad if we had got the choice of all black or coloured.

I’m with you, guys. The black colour under armor looked much, much better.

wow that looks so much better!!! I am disappointed with 343i’s art team , the Elites have been butchered to.

looks like crysis tbh, and there is still black under the armor, but the armor is now bigger. you can see the black around the torso area of the current armor

These elites aren’t the same ones from the original trilogy…

The armor colors in this game are really off. The darkest colors are way too light or milky. The brick color is really kind of pink. Dark blue is watered down. Its really strange.

Speaking of pink another change I don’t get is what happened to the pink and brown team colours? (Apart from being replaced by lime and cyan.)

Yeah. That is really terrible design choice. Black under armor looks so much better and less toyish. Master Chief got it right though, but why not Spartan IVs? :I

343 Please make some changes! Under armour looks pants.

Are these kind of things possible to change via update?

I’ve never understood why in the Halo games you couldn’t have Chiefs green colour, or the exact armour combinations in Reach, in 4 Chiefs colour and armour and the black under armour, which Chief and Palmer have

I really don’t know. As this render exists, it makes me wonder if there was originally going to be an option to customise this. But they couldn’t make it work/ran out of time.

That does look very good, but I’m also happy with the armour we have now.
I kind of like the bulky looking armour on top of the sleek black ninja-style armour.
Ninja tanks, pretty much what a spartan is.

Yeah, the all-black bodysuit shouldn’t have been changed. It looked great as one single color.

As for changing it via update, it may be possible, who knows? If the male/female undersuits are handled as separate models from the rest of the armor, it’s possible they could change it without it inevitably glitching the rest of the armor.

Also I agree on the colors being too light and washed out.

They need to be quite a bit darker and richer imo.

Wow, those Spartan models look a lot better with black body-suits. Not to mention how the colors for the Spartan armor in Halo 4 look terrible! They all look watered down.

i was too busy sprinting away from peoples boltshots to notice

Wow, that looks really freakin cool

at least they managed to separate the armor from the bodysuit this time around. that always bothered me in the past halos
