Re: Blue vs Purple
To me, Covenant ships have always been weird. I mean, look at H3! Covenant Separatists repainted their ships a nice chromy hue in the space of a week!Rotaretilbo wrote:I haven't seen any of the trailers yet, because I've been too busy waiting in line for TOR, but from my understanding, things like Covenant ships are now blue. That was not the case in Halo: Reach, so I'm not buying this as a graphics update.
Curiously, do you think that shields might give ships a different tint of color? The shields may be too thin on infantry to be noticeable, but maybe with thicker shields...
Hey, man, believe it when you see it. For now, give them the benefit of the doubt.Rotaretilbo wrote:To my knowledge, this debate is regarding the Covenant in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. But, as I said, I've not had a chance to watch the trailer, so I can't really be the judge.
However, given past indiscretions of 343, I would be entirely unsurprised if they changed something as iconic as the color of the Covenant for no reason whatsoever.
Just out of curiosity, what if some Army troopers defending the Shipbreaking Yards were recalled into the PoA? Better than leaving them there to die...KristallNacht wrote:The biggest reason why they shouldn't change the Marines to Army (aside from the fact I'm a Marine) is that it made sense for Marines to be there. Not so much the Army. It was a ship, with a infantry force comprised almost entirely for the purpose of defending itself and attacking other ships. That is the Marine Corps main role, historically, and in many many sci fi stories.

Possible, but the number of survivors in such a scenario would be few.

Re: Blue vs Purple
Well, no missions in Reach have Marines in them according to this, I mean, did you just Google "Halo Marine" and pick the one that clearly looks like an army trooper?KristallNacht wrote:Ringleader wrote:
Someone couldn't tell the difference between these?
is this reference to the Halo Marines and Halo Army looking the same?
because using the two from the same game, like this:
now can you easily tell which is which?
do you even happen to know what missions have Army Troopers and which have Marines?
That's even worse if they actually did go back and change the appearance of the marines, but I wouldn't put it past 343 now, because no one seems to care or be able to tell the difference between this:
And this:
I mean, if you're actually seriously saying that, then it's pretty obvious your blowing smoke. Let me guess, the sun and the moon also look the same, the're both round after all. All humans look the same too, 1 head, 2 arms, 2 hands, 2 feet, they're practically identical.

Wrong. Using the same source (that very page, and the Marine page) the Marines were sighted at the shipbreaking yards and on LNOS.Ringleader wrote:Well, no missions in Reach have Marines in them according to this, I mean, did you just Google "Halo Marine" and pick the one that clearly looks like an army trooper?

Re: Blue vs Purple
I used Halopedian.
and there are Marines since Carter is talking to a Corporal in Winter Contingency and clearly says "We know, Marine"

So they painted 'MARINES' on their pauldrons, oh. Then it is as I've said, "even worse".Rasq'uire'laskar wrote:Wrong.

Re: Blue vs Purple
Ring, why can't you understand that it really doesn't matter? Honestly, does it really make a difference in the story if Marines look a little different or something? Does the Arbiter die? Is Halo never found?

Re: Blue vs Purple
Can't really tell what's so different about the armor, to be honest. The animation is too screwy to make any judgements anyway.

Re: Blue vs Purple
honestly I see them as pretty much identical but with major graphical overhaul.... the Marine armor from halo CE looked like a person with rusty bits of metal strapped to their body, so an actual military uniform looks much better in my book.... the shapes are pretty much the same, and the main part of the armor that sticks out as identifiable to me, the helmet, is the same shape.
there is also HUGE variance in any military.... and the UNSC is MUCH more expansive than any military we have on our own planet.

Re: Blue vs Purple
Well, because it's sets a precedent by which 343 can make frivolous unnecessary alternations for no reason and the players not say anything at all except "AMAZING". That in itself is the problem, honestly I don't care as much as I probably sound like I do, but the idea that they can just change things in other people's work for no good reason when all it really does is annoy the small fraction of players that do care about things like aesthetic detail continuity and story continuity. I mean, you said it yourself, it's not like the Halo isn't lost by it, so what's it good for BUT to alienate that one group?Nocbl2 wrote:Ring, why can't you understand that it really doesn't matter?

Re: Blue vs Purple
Lol, the original picture from Bungie pretty clearly makes the distinction between Marines and Troopers in the image name 'Marine/Trooper Evolution, emphasis on the Marine SLASH Trooper part:dragoon9105 wrote:Becuase Ring>Logic, Simple formula

So who are the odd men out in this picture, the two that are wearing fatigues and Trooper armor? Let me guess, for the sake of your position, not the leftmost and rightmost suits...
I mean, according to Bungie:
This IS an Army Trooper, and NOT a marine.

except that last one is Army....
I'm getting confused....are we arguing about the fact that halo reach styled Marines are showing up in CE, or that they are replacing all the OG Marines with Reach Army Troopers?

Re: Blue vs Purple
The first one i think, That they are using Reach UNSC personel for the Halo CE remake, Of course the thing that doesnt add up as they will look like the original marines in the original graphics mode meaning theres really no point in complaining about it.

Re: Blue vs Purple
well are they going to be Marines or Army? That's a more significant change.

Re: Blue vs Purple
That'd be a real issue, since I don't get what the army would do on a ship instead of the marines.

Re: Blue vs Purple
I think that Ring is upset that the Marines look different in Anniversary now. Might I point out that this is the thread specifically for the argument of blue vs purple? Please take useless debates about whether updating a uniform to be more detailed is good or bad to the Halo Anniversary thread.
As for blue vs purple, I'm serious. I saw the trailers, and I didn't see what people were talking about. Where are there Covenant who are blue when they should be purple?

I honestly don't know. It came out of nowhere, I've seen it pop up on HBO, and I have yet to see a source.Rotaretilbo wrote:As for blue vs purple, I'm serious. I saw the trailers, and I didn't see what people were talking about. Where are there Covenant who are blue when they should be purple?
If it's from a Kotaku or IGN article, I'm going to hit the roof.
