    I hope they haven't, because that's not a valid reason. Aside from extra colors not actually taking up any storage space (really, if they wanted to they could give the player full control of RGB, like the Armored Core series does), the patch cannot take content off the disc. They're still there, just being blocked by the patch.

    There's no technical reason it had to be done. This was a choice. If they say there's a technical reason for it, they're lying.

    But sending emails to [email protected] might get the old colors back.

    Activision Exec 2: "Just take away half the colors and bundle them as a DLC down the road. The sheep already bit on the havoc pack."

    Hmm, never looked at it that way, that the old colors are just being blocked now. Kind of just makes me even more pissed.

    Okay, I emailed them. But there's a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance they'll respond at all

    It's not about getting a response, you just send them enough emails and they see that it's a widespread opinion, then if you're lucky they fix it.

    Since they're jumping through hoops to make every single person happy by "balancing" everything in the game even when they don't need it, there's a good chance they'll make several more alterations to the colors before the game dies off.

    Well, they responded, but only with generic "all feedback is looked at" shit.

    Well yeah that's what I'm saying.

    We're not going to get personalized responses thanking us for our feedback, they look at it in bulk and if they deem something to be in need of change they act on it. So in other words, the more of use who send feedback about the stolen colors, the more likely they are to restore them.

    No, it's not the point. Constructive criticism is always valued and given weight. And given how High Moon has been handling things in the demo and now I'm inclined to believe they would listen to a few people saying "Please never remove options" faster than they would listen to 10 times as many "F**K U! GIV COLERS BAK NAO!"

    A whole slew of colors disappeared and only a few were added or changed around. I'm really confused by this. Wonder if they're going to unlock now at a certain level or something.

    Send an email to [email protected] and tell them that you don't like this change.

    I'm just tempted now to send them the whole "does he look like a bitch?" quote from Pulp Fiction regarding this.

    U doooooooooooo!!!!!

    It's just that the purple is also slightly dull. Which I think is correct, right???
    Either way, the constructicon colors ARE there.

    I'm not going to hate High Moon for the color change, the only question in my mind, though, is why did they change them?

    Just give us the color palette back so we can pick our own primary and secondary colors. Everyone will be happy. Even the people that like the colors as they are now, and the people that liked the old colors.
