Halo Fans- Should team colors go away for good?

[Gizmo_Duck]

Seems this is the hot debate today:








Seems Halo purist prefer the in your face visual cues of color coded teams while some prefer a high level of customization found in other multiplayer games that give your characters their own unique look. It’s also argued that the latter if better for longevity as it keeps people coming back to earn new gear.

While I do agree the new Spartan design look good I don’t really see the point as an FPS. If it were a 3rd person shooter I’d feel like there’s a better argument for customization but you won’t even see yourself.

What do yall think?

You can see custom colors in free for all tho.

and in team matches you have custom visor colors, custom weapons skins, custom vehicle skins, accessories, helmets, armor, n armor effects.

Yeah, i think some people want to maintain it in team matches and use colored markers/UI to indicate teams.

Hope 343 ignores them fans. Nothin wrong with red vs blue.

you can keep the red & blue, and still have plenty of customization options

My favorite color is green, and since that was the original master chief's color anyway, im a little annoyed that isn't a team color option. Red vs blue is terribly corny and played out. All things must evolve; Halo is no different. If team colors are mandatory, at least make it so there are more than two team colors.


I'm for no team colors by the way. Got the first Halo along with the first Xbox Christmas 2001 at ten years old. Been playing online since Halo 2.

One of the corniest fukking aspects of the Halo aesthetic is the multiplayer avatars. I mean... Yes. Everyone wants to be a master chief.

But, I always hated it. It was just...I don't know, I never liked it.

But, I'm weird. I can't stand mirror matches in Fighting games so...lol

You mean like multi team which has been around since Halo 2,3,Reach, etc?

Also no halo allows you to use Master Chiefs shade of green. Just like no game with Elites allow you to use Arbiters armor. Its like that on purpose.

Custom helmets and armor been a thing since halo 3 tho.

A little arrow or indicator above enemy players so they stand out imo wouldn't be an issue. I don't see why it HAS to be red vs blue. The customization is kind of moot if it's forced to stay colored one way in almost every mode.

True. That made it better.

Understand, I still really like Halo. It just was weird when I was playing it heavy.

This is an idiotic discussion.

I don't get your point. This is akin to saying "if you wanna wear your own colors play FFA"

Multi team shouldn't be the only game mode that has other team colors besides Red vs blue

I wish SWAT mode had you playing as the regular foot soldier nikkas with the basic armor. Would make a lot more sense and add variety to the aesthetics. I can give a damn about being master chief I lean towards realistic shyt anyway hence my love for SWAT

Remember when people played Halo for bragging rights and improving their skill and craft, when you where able to play as team and coordinate.

Call of duty/gta/fortnight killed all that, modern gamers are killing the industry, the only innovation that gaming has done in the last decade has been micro transactions and remastered editions.

So do you want old halo or new stuff?
