gear armour LIGHTS

[Coalition core]

Whats with the lights on cog armour??????????
its not to light there way as there all different and give of piss all light for that.it suggests that the armour has a power source but what for???its not any kind of exo suit from what i can see so why the lights????its not just those on the chest plates,they have them on there thigh plates as well check out tai's armour!He also has a belt across his chest which also has lights,WHY????????????????????????????????????????

[xXgearsXxlilmaxman]

the way halo 3 kinda has it, i think its basicly for look, or stuff like that. it would difinatly be a total loss trying to snipe someone, besides the bullet missing, but you could see the likes, i realy dont know what they're doing, but its probably gonna be for a good reason.

[quiksilver1000]

Well it obviously isnt just your standard armour. A COG can take numerous shots to the body without being knocked unconsious or dead. I think its a high-tech bullet deflector device.

[Coalition core]

Why does it differer between marcus,dom,cole,tai????and why does the newer cog armour(baird,kim,carmine)have no lights???

I just saw some art from the new gearbook and the armour i thought was new is pictured durig the pendulum wars,how is that????? which is the newer?

[UKS_BulletPoint]

Maybe its just so they can easily identify each other from drones in dark like when they're underground (and no imulsion's present).

[Tarheal]

They really need to make the lights UV or something. Ya know not having to worry about Kryll could be a good thing.

[italianpride127]

maybe there isn't a reason it was just an artistic choice by the devs.

They do it because you're using so many question marks.

The real answer is because the character designer thought it looked cool, and the concept was approved.

Kryll are my favorite weapon...

[Effected Cat]

I always thought they could be like the the soldier's rank or something, but then I said no because Hoffmiester doesn't have any lights.

[LocustTheron05]

The guys look almost exactley alike to me when i see COG armor reflecting in the light, looks like white skin
You should pay attention to the lights, to identify freindly or baddie

yeah, it would help if friendly fires on, and to tell if its your teamate, but the sniping parts not too good, its like halo, it will give your sniper spots away in dark maps.

[babygirl61194]

yea, i h8 it when that happens

[xXgearsXxlilmaxman]

yep halo has the shining from the helmets

[babygirl61194]

yup yup, that sucked 2

[x Revel x]

We'll never know the fashion trend in the future. Maybe its lights.

[Pyrokid55]

I agree with above statements saying its for looks. But also if you notice, weapons and armor for COG are lighted BLUE(good) and for Locust it is lighted RED(bad). Although there are no lights on the Locust armor, their weapon reticle and lights on weapons (like the lancer) turn red when carried by a Locust, and blue when carried by a COG member. Just something I've noticed, maybe it's just to signify Red VS Blue (Bad VS Good) like most games.

[Coalition core]

SO its for looks and we can agree the suits look awesome,so why take the lights off the lighter armour(kim,carmine,baird,etc)

[commander cool]

Maybe its just a shoulder mounted flashlights or maybe its nothing carmine does not have them because he has flashlights for eys and kims head is shiny enough so hes doesnt have any either

[Coalition core]

Why is all the armour worn by delta squad different???
I got my fist lot of figures today,it includeds to drones,marcus and cole.cloes armour couldn't be more different from marcus's,do you think there are a large amount of different versions or is it a size thing or what?
The surviving seraons have few reasources so varieaty is a luxury,so you'd think that they would only produce one consistant style like they only produce the lancer and snuub pistol.
I could understand if they just added or took away from the standard armour which i assume is marcus's but there all different.

[Daj021]

im thinking it has somethin 2 do with rank........marcus has alot of lights on his because he used 2 be a high ranking officer,dom has some lights and he has been friends with marcus for years so he could have accumulated high rank 2,cole hasnt been a cog very long.......he was off playin thrashball so hes more of a grunt,baird is-well i dont really know bairds background

[hnim]

This game is not very big on practicality, though it is on aesthetics.

Don't think so. I think they just like them

[Misery]

Well, the reason for the lights on Spartan armor is that those lights are actually the Shield Energy Emitters.

[DeathPlayr]

i would say to protect them from the kryll

[Coalition core]

I dont think that gears armour was made purly to fight locust,I think it was around before emergence day!!!Still unsure about which type came firstm or if both were commisioned at the same time?marcus' and bairds armour which is the newer???

CHECK OUT THESE BABIZ!!!

I think it may be a power source indicator for a temperature regulator of some kind or possibly a vital signs monitor

[Coalition core]

Power source indicators would make sense along with radio communication and vitals monitor.I'm sure marcus' armour is the default armour which acts as a haz-mat and enviromental suit covering the whole body.You'd probably find some kind of mask or head gear in the top compartment of the armour.The armour worn by baird and carmine i imagine is either a re-design or just a none hazard version only utilising the requierd aspects of it.A lighter more streamlined mk 2.

[zachary6996]

i would say to protect them from the kryll

then it dosnt work very well......

[Gridlock AAO117]

Maybe it's to ward off Kryll?

[Dark Knight]

Or maybe it's like has been said way earlier. Designers thought it looked cool, which it does, and it was approved. No deaper meaning to it

[Welis]

To show team colours i suppose. Like Locust have red colours, Cogs goes with blue lights.
Just to show who you're fighting with and against.
