Subject: Why the hate for Halo 4?

:P

Foman is awesome!

Whats the problem? The jet pack thing? Ever think maybe those are merely thrusters in his Mark VI for EVA activities? So far no canon is broken. So stop complaining about how Halo 4 is going to break canon like Reach did.



Besides Reach did not break canon that much, anything broken can easily be retconned.

Could be a minor function we have not seen before.

People also need to remember that this game doesn't come out until late 2012, so there will be many updates, polishing, and etc. Frankie, Shishka, and other former Bungie employees are making sure that the series stays true.

How can Halo 4 even break canon if it's a complete new story.

Artistic license? CGI trailer was most likely made by 3rd party contributor. It looked like one of the crappy episodes from Halo Legends.

Also, Gamer Whale, There are currently three people working in 343i that previously worked for Bungie. Frankie, Shishka and Vic DeLeon. That's pretty much it.

What spectagon are you in?

There's really no reason to get so defensive about it. People are going to express their opinions, it's not really complaining. Of course it could a function we have yet to see, though it could also be 'breaking canon' at this stage everything is just speculation and opinion.

ISU Cyclones!

It was only a trailer guys. Remember the "Birth of a Spartan" trailer and how bad that was with canon?

I think we can chalk the jetpack up to "Rule of Cool" before jumping to conclusions of RUINED FOREVER.

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if you look closely that thing came out of his suit, so why after 2 games did he finally USE IT. thats the hate and the fact that they are gona make 3 more halo games to milk/drag the series

The suits certainly don't all have Jet-packs built in. In my opinion, since Bungie created the series, then their version of MJOLNIR should definitely be held as most accurate.

Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 all had slightly different model designs.

You guys also have to remember that is a CGI trailer. Remember the trailers from Halo 3? Things changed from them to the final game. Give it time.

It's just a trailer . The game won't even look like that.

Halo CE had an entirely different set of armor..the armor in halo 2&3 stayed relatively the same..just had graphical updates.The armor in the Halo 4 trailer was different all together

What was the problem with Halo: Legends?

Old GTs; RebelRobot, Flamedude

Hmmm.... it looks like a good fan video but the pacing was terrible and the jetpack was completely unnecessary and made no sense at all.

So lol @ the "lots of former bungie employees"

Still waiting for the source for "suit had jetpack all the time". Halopedia doesn't mention it. (Not sure which one)

EDIT: Checked both Halo wikis. No mention about "jet pack" on mk V and VI.

Personally I just feel that a trilogy is dumb. Halo ENDED more or less, it just needs an epilogue, not another whole new trilogy.

It's like they decided to add a whole new trilogy to the end of LOTR....

No....
