Again, the DMR isn't a BR. It's like trying to say the M240 and M249 are the same weapons, they're most definitely not.


You get to pick the colors of your character in MP, so why can't these characters pick their suit's colors? Noble Team isn't like the dozens of other SIIIs who are sent en masse on suicide missions because they're expendable. So it doesn't stand against reason that they would get some armor tuned to their requests or fields.

IIRC, both Carter and Cath are the only original members of Noble Team and they both have blue armor. Now this could either signify their positions (leaders; think ST where red represented Command positions) or the original color of the Noble group. It originally could have been that Noble was given its own set of colors due to its own special ops compared to the other SIIIs. The replacements all seem to have specific parts of their armor as different colors meaning that as missions wore on, parts got damaged or replaced and well, sometimes you can't find the EXACT same colors for the exact same parts. The newest is entirely black and he was also taken from the last batch of SIIIs...so it's more than likely that black armor is the default armor for them...the generic SIIIs.

While it would be logical to have a single spec for the Spartan armor both in terms of money and production values, this is the military we're talking about. Logic isn't given to too many people in the ranks. Just look at today's military (at least America): every fucking branch as it's own goddamn uniform (both dress and battle). It's all a waste.


Also, in Noble 6's performance report his gender is X'd out. However, in the comments section they clearly use an "his". Also, pretty sure that GI mag article referred to the LT as a 'him'
