When you think it's all over, you are dead. Yay.
I. SEE. YOU. RECLAIMER.

but understand that they are still calling it an MA5B, they are still calling it the Marines...the dialogue doesn't change, nor do any events or levels or even cutscene animations. It is a pretty reimagining of what CE looked like, not a direct copy. Can't we just accept that Marines look like that now? It's essentially your imagination anyway. I'm not arguing with you, I love canon and I agree completely on a lot of what you are saying. But the old designs would look weird with today's graphics. They had to work with the polygons they had at the time. Look at what the new Master Chief looks like: he's the ugliest part of the new trailer, because he is the most unchanged! Those ARE the Marines and that IS the MA5B, simply cosmetically different in both cases. It's a beautification and remodeling that won't effect canon at all. NOW, if the dialogue changes, and the Marines are all of a sudden calling eachother soldier, and Sgt Johnson is all of a sudden an Army doggy, then I will complain. But I think we have to accept that the armor of the Marines and the soldiers can be interchangeable to a degree. It doesn't effect canon if the changes are slight cosmetic upgrades. The old AR, old cardboard-looking Marines, those things would be ugly without a redesign
Did you pay attention to me at ALL? Okay, I'll start from the beginning, all over again.
I said before that Bungie does graphical updates. That's perfectly fine with me. I like the way the new Army troopers and Marines look. But here's the thing: in the Anniversary trailer, the Marines were using the ARMY model, not the Marine model that was made for Reach. Also, the MA37 is its OWN WEAPON! It looks COMPLETELY different than the MA5B. I have to say this over and over and over again and it gets me REALLY mad. It's not a graphical update at all. They're just reusing the MA37's model. The MA5B has its own model. Sure, they could refurbish that one, but it should look the same as it did in general back in the old days, with the same basic shape.
Take a look at these pictures:
The MA37
The MA5B
See what I mean? They're separate weapons. They don't look the same. At all.
And if they wanted to make this seem a lot like the first game, they could have at LEAST kept the original stuff. And I, for one, like the refurbished Master Chief.
