That looks like the sun reflecting off the silver armor to me.

I don't think that's how sunshine works.

That wink may have confirmed my worst fear.

Noooooooooooooo. I am not an alt for zoojoo. I am me. I was on HBO for years before Zoojoo even existed.

Whatever happened that podcast you were supposed to record with him?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Ram why are you getting rid of your Astros? You were excited to get them.

All this spartan ops talk about how good it's gotten is making me contemplate putting the disk in.

 

[EagleBurnn]

So there's a 49ers theme Master Chief walking on Bourbon Street right now passing out Super Bowl shot glasses

 

[The Librarian]

It doesn't look silver in any way in that picture. It looks like a dirty gold - ask anyone.

I think it depends on the lighting.

From Halo 2

 

[OverHeat]

Yea, but aren't you in Canada?

Yeah forgot about shipping. My brother was looking for new headset that would have been a nice deal.

 

[Slightly Live]

I think it depends on the lighting.

The fact is, it doesn't look silver when you're playing the game. Unless you're paying close attention, it looks dirty gold most of the time.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Arbiter armour is a dark silver.
Bottom pic is the model and textures ported to gmod. Without halo 3's lighting engine having an effect of the model you can see its true colour.

I don't get what you're saying here. It doesn't matter what the true color is, but it's what it looks like that matters? It's because of the lighting it looks like a dirty gold.

 

[EagleBurnn]

Master Chief's armor is gold? Stop messing with the classics, 343.

 

[Gui_PT]

Always looked silver to me

 

[heckfu]

If the lighting made it look red I would expect a red figurine of it. I don't care what color something IS if it looks consistently like something else.

Right, but for me it still looks silver most of the time, only covered up by dirt and made look more gold/brown because of the environment.

 

[The Real Napsta]

That's because it is silver.

Well that would explain it

 

[StalkerUKCG]

But what if the lighting made it look red in only certain areas? would you expect two figures?

I understand your point but its a bad one.

The car below has white red pink and blacks on it because of light however if you bought the car and it looked like it does in that image you would be pissed. The armour is a dark silver/grey. Don't make it gold because its looks golden under specific lighting conditions.

Regardless Mcfarlane acknowledged they fucked up because later versions had silver armor

 

[Mix]

we recorded it months ago but he didn't like the quality so he trashed it.

You clearly don't understand my point lol. I said it consistently looked gold and really didn't know it was silver until today.

I honestly didn't know that. I mean, I remember floppy disks being spelled with a k, and compact discs being spelled with a c, but I didn't know the different spellings were to draw a distinction between types.

Abiter was a bitch; who cares? Halo 2 was the worst Halo.

Arbiter looks purple to me most of the time.

So that's what you call it...

 

[Moa]

[StalkerUKCG]

I wasn't gold in Halo 2 by any stretch. I can remember it looking distinctly grey in H3. Maybe my judgement was already clouded from Halo 2.

To me it's always looked silver I had no idea people thought it was gold.

 

[NobleGundam]

Abiter was a bitch; who cares? Halo 2 was the worst Halo.

I've spent countless hours playing Halo 2 than any other Halo game.

If it gets an HD remake, I'll throw my $$ @313.

I agree - I recall Arbiter as wearing purple gear. But I also played Halo 2 and 3 on a shitty 17 " SD television.

 

[Thug Waffle]

I've never played anything more than I played Halo 2 and I almost assuredly never will. Maybe a decade or so from now, CS: Source will have caught up. Maybe.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Looking at the 'favourite game trailers this generatin thread’ I see a lot of mentions of the live action trailers.

But I must say, I genuinely forget about the Halo 3 recon trailer, such a great trailer in itself.

 

[EagleBurnn]

I wouldn't mind knowing which one I played more. Quake III Arena or Halo 2, possibly Halo 3 because Custom Games + Forge was a match made in heaven.

 

[Kuroyume]

Arbiter is pretty much the best character in the Halo universe... And by universe I mean games because I don't read the books.

Lezbehonest, it was probably also your first Halo game. I had the same experience with Halo 1.

Your ire only emboldens me!

NOPE. Johnson then Buck a close second.

Really wish they did more with the Superintendent helping you out. The only thing he does is point you vaguely in the right direction with the billboards and the tiny lights on the roads that light up. If Mombasa Streets was darker and he turned on the lights pointing you in the right direction like in the trailer that would've been cool.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

[Zeouterlimits]

Arby's Armour eh?

I take it as a reflective silver but the discussion indicates Halo 3's lighting adds a certain level of ambiguity.

Buck? Really?
There's not much to him. He's around in a few cutscenes and the last sixth of the game.
Also - the man in love with that monstrosity?

Arbiter is definitely one of the best Halo characters, but I wonder how 343 will use him. :-/

 

[NobleGundam]

Lezbehonest, it was probably also your first Halo game. I had the same experience with Halo 1.

Noooo.. After Beating Halo 1 on OG Xbox on all its difficulties Solo and not being able to find more ways to explore the levels outside its boundaries like Halo 2 does, it got old.

Even with 150 ping.

Buck, really.

Bobba Fett was a very, very minor character in Star Wars, and look at how popular he is.

Hopefully as fuel for a MAC cannon.

 

[EagleBurnn]

Bobba Fett was a very, very minor character in Star Wars, and look at how popular he is.

Bobba Fett was mysterious. I like Nathan Fillion and all, but his character in ODST talked enough for any mystery to be out (he was also a main character unlike Fett). He was dull and generic as much as Carter in Reach.

Now lets look at Bobba Fett. Awesome armor that no one else has. Doesn't need anything special, just his fucking pistol and jetpack he rarely uses in the original trilogy. He's a mercenary and has no allegiance. Talks to no one if it's not business. That's the qualifications for a badass.

Now let's look at Buck. Standard ODST armor. The most generic white male in the series. Gives orders. Well...that's about it really. I can't even remember one quote from that guy because everything he said was so plain.

So that's what you call it...

Let's be honest, H2's campaign was and still is a huge let down. The best thing I can think that the campaign does is be the first time to let you use those energy swords that kicked your ass in the first game.

Those of you halo 2 downers haven't given any good explanations towards why you think the campaign is the worst.

Was its Overall Story? Weapons/Vehicles Sandbox? Campaign Level Designs? What??

 

[EagleBurnn]

I'll think about it when logging into Waypoint on my phone to check your CSR in about a month.

Stupid swapping between arbiter/chief, shit boss fight, shit ending are the immediate things that come to mind. Oh yeah, and horrid texture pop in.
