Subject: I hope that wasn't cannon...

I hope Johns appearance in the trailer was just a representation of the armor he will be getting along with grenade pistol and 343 doesn't expect us to believe he got a whole new suit in cryo.

Meh, they'll probably have some way to explain it. Maybe Cortana did a scan of the Forward Unto Dawn and found prototype Mark VII armor? Anything's possible.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Well, let's just wait and see.

But seriously we'll probably get a copout excuse to explain the grenade pistol and thrusters. The armors appearance is just a graphical update. Just like how chiefs and the arbiters armors changed from Halo 2 to Halo 3. I see no problems there.

Come on, the arbiter got mandible guards and chief got new hands, its not nearly as big as this

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

First off you are right on it not being cannon.

Please remember that this is CGI not actual gameplay of the game, so what until we know what it actually will look like.

  • 06.06.2011 3:34 PM PDT

my guess is that the MAJOR graphic change made the armor look more different then it really was.

  • 06.06.2011 3:40 PM PDT

343 Is Canon friendly.

Bungie isn't.

Why would there be prototype Mark VII armor sitting in the forward unto dawn that wasn't given to chief for the battle of earth?

Bungie is too.


Fixed.

Off topic: I'm too lazy to do it myself but can someone compare this armor to the one from those Halo "Nemesis" pictures?

  • 06.06.2011 3:44 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

>it's actually Forerunner armor that Cortana found in Origins.

Or whatever the hell happened.

Is it really so unreasonable that 343 would want to use their own designs as opposed to relying on Bungie's for the rest of the series?

No, but suddenly having master chief wake up from a cryo-tube in a brand new set of armor makes zero sense.

  • 06.06.2011 4:11 PM PDT

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

I see no problem with newer looking armor. It's obviously Mark VI, only 343 had the ability to make it look better for Halo 4 than Bungie did with Halo 3. It's not that different if you look at both together, the new one is just a lot more detailed.

Just stop.

  • 06.06.2011 4:15 PM PDT

It's just a more detailed version of the armor. You don't actually think that Cortana woke chief up from cryo sleep just to put on a new and unused $10000000 suit that just happened to be on the ship in zero g do you? I didn't think so.

Cover of the new Fall of Reach I believe:

Do you guys see a certain similarity? Elbows, shoulders, abdomen area...

He doesn't look as bulky on the halo 4 website though.

Good Point.
Just look at how Reach's announcement trailer differed vastly from in-game canon.

My Grandfather was a Desert Ranger, my Father was a Veteran Ranger in the NCR. My father was killed by Caesar's Legion and they took my Brother. It's now my responsibility to uphold the mantle of the Rangers and avenge my Father and find my Brother.

That armor looks ghey...

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

Very well could be that boosters were built into his armor all along for space flight?

I guess I was unaware of the internet community, and its citizens excommunicated to the flood.

its an upgrade in graphics. the armour is the same. in terms of weapon.... he is on a ship with guns. im sure the unsc isnt limited to one pistol.
