I have seen about 5 different pictures of them and they look different one is like green another is all black with red instead of blue holographic glasses. so does anyone have a true picture?
Picture the green armored marine that we have now as a black armored marine.
The truth is none of us know what the black armor will look like. If they say they do, then they are lying. If one of the devs say they know what the black armored marines look like, then they too are lying.

Honestly I'm kind of hoping the black armor looks completely different than the green armor, not just color wise. I would expect it to be like a different outfit.
im hoping instead of those blue holographic sunglasses they r red and the armor is really black to hide in the dark. sorta like the terminator or sumtin

where's the source of this reply? I'd like to follow that up with a question if the Heavy armor is getting the same treatment.

Who needs to hide in the shadows?
I do <u>not </u>wonder about if it will have a N7 logo on it. That is not true.
Ok now I am making myself doubt. That is not true.
This was all true. Not depending on which part of the paradox you are at.
