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:
[quote][b]Posted By:[/b] Frank O'Conner
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.

I'm fine as long as Covenant ships are still purple inside :P It was always my theory that Covenant tech was purple because from an Elite's perspective, that is the colour of blood. Thus, blood coloured ships are pretty intimidating. Imagine being in a crimson red space, or being attacked by a blood red aircraft. As a human it would be kind of freaky.
