Halo’s Black History Month armor shaders are unintentionally hilarious


What’s Sangheili for “Happy Black History month?”

In Halo ’s case, it’s offering players a special set of armor shaders in colors and patterns typically associated with African art and culture. But the way 343 slapped all these individual pieces together, like a ridiculous Voltron of Blackness, is darkly hilarious in a way I don’t think the company intended. Microsoft doesn’t break down its diversity, equity, and inclusion report by sector, so I don’t know how many of its Black employees work at Xbox or any of its game studios.
