Subject: Modification of Mjolnir armor done by Cortana?

I really don't get why people are raging about this, it really doesn't look that different, the only really difference is in the shoulder guards, but other than that it looks almost exactly the same as in Halo 3. It's pretty much just a graphics upgrade.

The Mark IV/V has been changed in appearance on the cover of the reissued Halo books and I don't see people raising huge issues over that. So why is it suddenly a big deal that the Mark VI got a few tweaks moving to a new game?

"Chief wake up and check this out.... What now Cortana more pretty stars....... No you smart blam! something better.Apparently Miranda planned on giving you a little gift. Check out your new armor! Where's my lucky rabbit's foot Cortana?!

I'm agent Nahman Jayden, eff-bee-eye.

Or his Mark VI is exactly the same, just different because of Artistic Liscense and his Mark VI may have always had Zero-G thrusters but never witnessed.

They could have just added the thrusters for the teaser, just to add some flash to it.

Also I only watched the trailer once so forgive me for this but I didn't really notice any changes int the armour, besides the thrusters of course.

What has changed exactly?

Chief got a 12 inch -blam!-.

Here's a picture for those that haven't gotten a good look.

The chest plate doesn't really resemble a chest like it did in Halos 2 & 3, and there's a wierd gap in the middle of it.

I kind of wished they kept the signature Mk. VI shoulder pauldrons, Chief's had them since Halo: CE, why suddenly make them look like Mk. IV era pauldrons from Halo Wars?

The flashlights on the helmet are sticking out like crazy in the trailer. They should to slim the sides down.

And they really need to fix the crotch plate. You have this awkward tube-shaped plating that goes across the waist and then this awkward dip between the plating and this huge bulbous balls-of-steel athletic cup with lights on it.

I'm critiquing the hell out of the armor design, probably because I'm not used to it, but more likely because it's not retaining the shape of the Mk. VI very well (in my opinion.)

It's possible that the cryo-tube had some sort of mechanics that allowed suits of armor to be tinkered while in cryo-sleep, but I don't think it has been over a century. Wouldn't Cortana have been completely rampant? Plus she stated that it would've been a few years before someone would pick up the beacon she sent. NOt only that, but does cryo-sleep halt the desire for food and water? I'm pretty sure Chief's hungry for a steak and a cold beer.

I think there is a big difference between tasteful artistic license and just wrecking something for no good reason.

It is a new artistic representation. Just like how it changed from Halo 2 to 3

So does artistic representation include jet thrusters that never existed on the armor in the first place...?

  • 06.07.2011 7:20 PM PDT

Cortana had all lot of time to do it. I'm guessing its the same suit just tweaked a little.

BTW - Chief's armor in H3 was light green not vanilla (if you were referring to color).

I wasn't I meant that his armor was standard or unmodified to my knowledge at least.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Is it because appealing to the "OMG AWESUM LOLOLOLOL" crowd is more important than staying consistent? (Rhetorical question; of course it is.)

I myself am excited for when the lightsabers come out of his arms and he can shoot lasers from his eyes. JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN"T SEEN IT BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT THERE!!!

Can you post a link to this interview? I can't seem to find it.

personally, i'm betting artistic license on the aesthetic differences.

and as for the jet's i am assuming, because their lack of thrust was pathetic especially given the fact that it was a null gravity enviroment, that the jets are in fact either the "next gen EVA technology" or the "Null-gravity assist package" mentioned in the halsey journal as part of the mark 6.

  • 06.07.2011 8:57 PM PDT

well, if she did that, than she must have changed the frigates outside appearance as well. which i highly doubt.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

Why is it so hard to believe that Mark VI couldn't have always had built-in thrusters?

They're thrusters, meant for use strictly within zero-G environments. How many times has Master Chief been in such a situation while the player has also been present? Once, while repelling the invasion force on the Cairo. Would he need to use thrusters whilst walking on the surface of the Cairo? No, because he's walking on the surface of the Cairo.

There were external thruster packs mentioned in the novels but only being used by Spartans wearing Mark V. Having them built into the suit certainly sounds like a useful upgrade for the next variant.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Has anyone thought that this cutscene isnt at the start of the game ? much like Halo 3's starry night or even the announcement trailer. - that would give legitmate belief that the MC starts the game in his own armour (seen in H3) and gets upgrades throughout the game.

Problem solved. People are going "OMG !!1! NEW ARMOUR !!!! WHERE DID THE THRUSTERS COME FROM" only because they haven't realised that this trailer probably isn't at the start of the game

There is another thread on here which has a link suggesting its not at the start of the game. (plus the FuD allegedly has snow on it)

...have a peek

  • 06.08.2011 8:09 AM PDT

Frankie also stated that there will be some explinations to this, but at the same time it was also just 'Moving foward'.

I think it's all just canon mods.


Now about cortana's voice change and appearance......

The trailer isn't literal. Any modifications done to the Chief's suit would be done (by the Forerunner I hope) after waking from cryo.

I will cut the ever loving F*** out of both of you. I will kill you. You little s***s, you worthless miss placed come shots. How DARE you. I will cut you into little pieces, and hide you under the floor board.
I hope both of you rot. Hitler is now crying right now, knowing he is no longer the worlds biggest Dick, cause both of you share that title.Please, do me the favor of not having to dirty my hands and kill yourselves.

Maybe it's because of the time he spent in cyro. He hasn't eaten, he hasn't stretched, nor done anything. In the poster he looks extremely skinny. Maybe he lost body fat or something.
