| Re: Question for the panel... | |

In Response To: Question for the panel... (AngelicLionheart) : We all know that ACTIVE camouflage exists in the Halo universe, but what : about PASSIVE camouflage (like on Army soldier's BDU's today)? : Especially for MJOLNIR, since we know that SPARTANs are the ultimate stealth
: In Reach, Kat's light-blue armor and Jorge's yellow, red, white and olive
I'd like to think paint technology would be up to it, but having a bunch of colors of the right kind on hand whenever a Spartan goes to a new environment-- which would be all the more problematic with multiple planets with strange and varied rock formations and vegetation and with situations like infiltrating a Covenant ship-- might not be feasible. Having the armor basically be a giant screen displaying a pattern might not work with the shield technology, which even by the end of 2552 only a handful of people understand, and which no human completely understands. More than that though, several Covenant species seem to have better eyesight than we do and probably as good as that of Spartans or even better, and I know when I play* and one gets even the slightest sight of me they engage, as do all their friends, and it's very difficult to shake them even with active camouflage. * other than the first game, which is its biggest flaw in my view: being unrealistically easy-- walking practically right past enemies and not having them see you-- because of a technical restriction
