Why Green Spartans in Flood?

What is the points of having all the spartans green in flood? I liked it in reach were each spartan was a different colour, with spartans being all green regicide is the only playlist wich you can have your own colour. Whats the points of the green?

I will answer your question with a question… Why does it matter?

It matters because of individuality. Flood…or preferably infection gametype is supposed to be about individuals pit against a singular threat rather than a team.

Painting your spartan a team color just isnt right for an infection gametype.

They’ll probably change it at some point, at least I’d imagine so.

It’s 343’s thank you for the Mountain Dew promo.

i would have to say its for ease of visibility, flood dont have the worlds greatest color filter, in fact i think it kinda sucks, but makes sense. having the spartans a bright green helps flood players see non-flood players.

I don’t think people realize that war games are just that, games, on the combat deck of infinity, it’s simulations, that’s why there is no friendly fire because you’re not ACTUALLY fighting each other, you playing a simulation. so the colour is prolly because they thought it would add to the story of being in a simulation

If I had to take a stab, paper seems like the most logical answer. It doesn’t really bother me though, but I can see how others might find it annoying.

Why would I want my player to be green in those awesome film clips and screenshots of myself? Exactly. Take away the green. It is stupid and has no reason to be there AT ALL.

I don’t care, i’m playing Matchmaking, Multiplayer, i don’t want any stupid “canon” explanation of why something is like it shouldn’t be

I don’t really care, i just wish you could use that green for your actual spartan because you cant use that color out of game.

They should of made an option for colours in Custom Options, like in Reach.

I don’t know, I think its just 343i’s way of introducing the gametype to newer players to make both Spartans and Flood distinguishable. Yes, I know, even without the “Green” color scheme, Spartans and Flood are still easily distinguishable.

Personally, I just think its stupid. Why the step backwards? Was a player’s custom colors really a problem in prior titles?

I think the heart of the issue was in development, when they played or tested flood, they used the “Green” color very often just so that the Flood and Spartans were easily distinguishable to them. They were probably having either too much fun or just forgot to add the option to disable the color when they made the game.

This topic kinda reminds me about Invasion in Halo Reach and how the beta colors were so freaking amazing it was ridiculous, then when the full game came out it was all gone, streamlined in the usual Red Vs Blue.

because you customize your spartan color, you might as well be a be to see it, its small details that build up to a game

you could ask the same “Why?” question to anything different in Halo 4 and you will not get an answer.

as of now the only answer to all of those questions is “change for the sake of change”

I would like to see that this Lime green to be removed from flood and into the custom colour section for customizing my spartan. i find it stupid that the lime green in flood actually looks good on a spartan but i cant find a way to actually use it on my spartan.

Halo 4 should of had a colour wheel (like the one in photoshop) for a better customization system. instead of dull, limited colours :frowning:

Because we all have to fall in line and be carbon copies instead of individuals , NOT ! 343industry just lacks imagination , sadly .

LOL That’s mad funny!.. For reals? About the individuality and circumstances in a Flood outbreak… I wholly agree we should keep our own colors.

I also think the flood look really ugly in this game, like they’re covered in turds… Ew.

The green might make it easier to see your comrades.

Custom colours please 343, lime green is stupid and reasons defending it are equally dumb.

Regicide is the only place you can see you custom colour which is -Yoink- - whats the point in all these cool armour skins if you can’t see them.
