You people are a fucking treasure.

I don't think the argument here is about realism, it's about blatant stupidity. If real life marines started wearing big red clown noses, people wouldn't bitch about it being unrealistic because it's real life. People would bitch about how fucking retarded it is. Like putting big yellow cartoon stripes on guns.

But whatever.

And sending small cowardly aliens[grunts] into battle who are prone to run off in all directions isn't retarded?
What about the idea of running to your foe with a glowing white plasma sword knowing full well your foe has a firearm?

Oh and what about the idea of a super soldier who can flip 60 tonne tanks and yet cannot handle the muzzle climb of a single SMG?
The list goes on, where do you draw the line for in a game which is about science fiction and making things seem bad ass rather than keeping to a code of conduct?

The people complaining about the yellow stripe are pathetic! It is simply an aesthetic choice, that gives the weapon more character then more bland grey, if you can't handle the possibility that it might look at tiny bit less realistic when compared with weapons of our time, then you seriously should stop playing halo. The stripe looked perfectly fine on the weapon where it was, but apparently, a couple people take yellow paint so seriously that 3 pages of this topic have been spent on their butthurt rantings. This is ridiculous, its a yellow stripe on the AR, deal with it.

What does any of that have to do with anything? Why would you compare aliens to humans and assume they have even remotely similar principles and ideology?

Oh god, now there's two of them.

You tell me then smart ass, what is so terrible and awful and inconsistent and evil about having a yellow stripe on the weapon, when half of the weapons in Reach and atleast 2 or 3 weapons in Halo 3 had stripes of different colors on them? Why is it that this is suddenly just terrible, when none of those look even half bad.

War has one main simple principle which should be universal through any warring species.
Eradicate the threat before it eradicates you, either by destroying the threat first or disabling its ability to do so through capture or disruptions.

I like the yellow stripe too guys but Dano doesn't. It's his art, his choice, give it a rest.

Aesthetics reign over logic. I'll leave it at that.

Passengers hang off the side of hornets with nothing securing them to the vessel because it looks cool. The warthog has no protection at all because it looks cool. The Mjolnir armor has big motion-restricting shoulder armor pieces because it looks cool (I mean fuck, he's borderline lime-green in the first game). We're talking about a franchise that has NEVER connected logistics with it's looks. It's a game that is both famous and infamous for it's over the top color pallete.

For fuck's sake. You play as a 6+foot tall bright green cyborg covered in fucking bright ass LEDs and you're all going on about a small, thin yellow strip on one out of 30+ guns? Most if not all of which have at least one glowy bit on them?

Guys, face it. Halo does not and has never followed these rules of standard logic when it came to visual design. I thought that's why it was so damn unique, but I guess that's just more to bitch about. It will never change. Halo will go on with it's illogical ways. Chief's armor is going to get more and more needless greeble on it, and every new installment is going to stray further and further from the simpler art style of the first games, while becoming less and less logical.

Either way, what the fuck is going on in this thread? One guy posts some beautiful gun models, and everyone shoots diarrhea out of their eyes because of one god damn paint stroke.... and one sentence in the OP stating the modeler wants to maintain his own artistic freedom and therefore denies crits.

This thread is full of assmad.

Over a strip of color.
