There will be no purple in Halo 4: Blue Covenant Theory
[url]http://forums.halo.xbox.com/yaf_postst92210_Weapons-and-Vehicles-Comparison.aspx[/url]
This is an excellent thread on Waypoint that has comparisons of Halo 4 weapons compared to previous recent iterations.
Now, we all know about Frankie's quote ages ago:

There will be no purple in Halo 4[/quote]
1. Go into the thread, see the Covenant comparisons.
2. Also look at the renders on Halo Waypoint/Halo 4
What do you see? Aside from the definite increase in detail, I have noticed that [b] all the Covenant weapons have turned from purple to blue. [/b]
The best comparison is the Carbine.
Is this similar to the Green Separatist Phantoms we saw in Halo 3? Is this Covenant organization changed its color configuration because they oppose the normal Covenant?
Also, the Storm Rifle is the replacement for the Plasma Rifle, and it is blue. Edit: It appears Purple, but that could be an exception.
There is also a Grunt called the Storm Grunt, alluding to weather/rain/lightning related names.
Discuss.

But seriously let's not use this. It's too subjective for people to agree upon.[/quote] It was also, as I said already, never confirmed by Frankie. A Kotaku reporter said it and passed it off as a 343i employee, convincing apparently everyone. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cmdr DaeFaron [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spartan1995324 But why bring back old tech when ONI is pulling new tech out of its ass? E.g Spartan IV's, reverse engineered Forerunner Slipspace drive in UNSC Infinity, etc.[/quote] We'll see when the game comes out if the bother giving an in-canon reason.[/quote] Because they've only reverse engineered a limited amount of the new technology, meant for large scale constructs and prototypes. Honest question: do you just like complaining about everything with the lable Halo 4 on it? [Edited on 06.26.2012 4:17 PM PDT]
