Don't mistake bloom for being colorful. Gears 3 was by no means colorful. It was about as dark and boring as Reach.

And Mass Effect was colorful because they wanted to be. Halo's planet Reach was not meant to be colorful. You're arguing completely different games, completely different art directions, and completely different developers.
Did you even play Gears of War 3? That picture is not representative of what it actually looked like at all.

Also, what the hell kind of rebuttle is that? All I implied was that just because a game has a depressing and dark tone doesn't mean it has to be shades of brown. That really has no bearing on who the developer is, what game it is, etc.

Reach was colourful in the books, btw. They basically turned it from a temperate forest world into a giant desert with pockets of vegetation.
