That definately isn't Mark V armor and the spartans were updated with the Mark V suit before the battle of Reach meaning it can't be the Mark IV suit even though that is what it looks like the most. What is up with that? Also the one on the right definately isn't a spartan just by looking at the helmet and the backpack. spartans don't wear backpacks due to the fusion packs for their suit.

Also if you notice in the trailer you hear someone say, "were going in hot, we just lost our bird!" This can easily refer to Fred and the spartans who take a pelican(bird) to the surface to fight. If you watch the trailer and listen as well as have read the book Fall of Reach you will know.

The update has a huge picture that you can look at and it definately doesnt' look like the Mark V. Plus on the far left spartan there are indents in the middle of the helmet that the Mark V doesn't have. A lot less bulky as well.

Dude...
Remember in the book Fall of Reach where that professor Catherine woman saw some prototype additions to the Mark V armor underneath Reach's surface???
Maybe the Spartans were wearing those gears attatched to their armor...
I think that's the reason why they look like that :P

Even though its just silhouettes you can still tell...

It looks nothing like Mark V..

Maybe it wasn't made during this time in Halo.

It's pretty obvious they're all Spartans....

if no one really remembers or really played the game, halo wars spartans had a more detailed mark v suit. so they may have done the same thing with the mark v armor but made it look so much better

The Halo Wars Spartans actually wore Mark IV armor. It was very detailed though.

In first strike some of the spartans get upgraded with (parts of) the Mark VI.

This is just speculation, but the big one (first on our left) with the chain gun is probably Kelly (S-087); next (second from our left) looks like a normal human, maybe Dr. Halsey (maybe) or a Marine; the next (middle) I think might be Fred (S-104); the second from our right I haven't figured out but it's another one of the Spartans (with a knife); and the last (first on our right) looks like a normal Marine, could be a ODST (doubtful), and maybe a Spartan (looking up maybe) but I seriously doubt that.

REMEMBER: This is just speculation based on Fall or Reach and First Strike.

The one second from our left's frame is way to small to be a Spartan.

We are Uber-HALO-fanatics, we can tell. The Mark V from HALO: CE has a pair of spike like visors, unlike the M-IV (Halo Wars) and M-VI (Halo 2 &3) which have more of an indented baseball cap type bill on them (when silhoutted).
