Ok, kinda just a little tiny thing

the plasma torpedoes in the mod look amazing and they are great, except... they're blueish.

Like I'm positive that the book states several times how a plasma torpedo looks like "glowing angry crimson eyes."

Also to boot, since normal laser fire is blue/turquoise anyways, it really makes the beautiful effect of the plasma meld into the existing fire, making a Covi salvo look like a ugly green/blue mess

 

Just a little suggestion to maybe change the base colors with the weapons to add a little "pizzaz" to normal gameplay

The games, sadly, contradicted that.

Why not change the lasers to red or something, then? Might even be the easier option.

Not totally sure about this, but I believe the current thinking is to arrange the factions by colour palates. For example, the UNSC is more red/orange with explosions and the covenant are blue with their lasers and plasma torpedoes. I think the forerunners will also tend to fire reddish beams.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Yeah, I wasn't really considering what they would have actually used, just what would make the torpedoes look more distinct. Violet would blend better with the blue while still making the torpedoes more obvious, so that's a better option.

Canon wise we do follow games over books sometimes because the games are more prevalent in how many people have been exposed to them. That said, we try to make the battles look like whats described from Fall of Reach

I have said before that we kind of fell into this and it works. Cool colors for Covies and warm colors for UNSC.

One, nice necro.

Two, nice name.

Three, I don't believe he ever got to play the game himself before he released it.

It's not science if it's not blue, everyone knows this.

Well this invalidates massive amounts of technology, data, and media then.
