Hey
If you have seen the dahsboard videos today from the E3 expo you will see an interview from one of Halo 4's developers saying that there are lots of hidden little secrets in the Halo 4 trailer sort of like Easter eggs i guess, have you found any? Im sure you have.

Great answers guy's it seems everyone agrees its his behaviour then and a possible interest in Cortana. Awesomeness.

Hmm don't see anything that could count as an easteregg...

I was just about to ask this same question XD.

I myself haven't, though I did notice the snow on the ship, the Chief's armor looking different (which were both deliberate by the way according to Frankie) and how is mannerisms were different. He kind of sounded as if he was trying to be calming when he said "I'm here" (again Frankie said their are story reasons why he looks different and why his behaviors changed a bit).

But I didn't find any easter eggs.

I dont know if this counts, but when cheif grabbed the grenade launcher pistol, i think i saw a regular magnum to the right. Not sure though.

Indeed.

This may be the same interview you posted before which wouldn't play for me for some reason. If so, just watch it again because its friggin' Halo 4!

But this is where he mentions the Chief's behavior.

I'm wondering what part of his behavior will change and why?

If i remember correctly he said he we can observe the change in the trailer.

One of the coll things i noticed is that he just stomped a small blast door like nothing.Maybe he is even more augmented by an unknown source.

Could it be possible that the geas inside him is affecting him too?

Librarian did it with Chakas and Riser too,both of the two behavior changed too.

During the course of the campaign,the chief might experience a flood of memories from the ancient Human past like Chakas and Riser.

Those are my 2 cents anyway

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

I'm expecting MC to be less of a soldier just obeying orders and more of a human character now that he's essentially alone in uncharted space.

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Perhaps there is an Ico element in here, wherby he will do anything to protect Cortana - she seemed petrified and MC usually gives a cocky response

...but this was different..

maybe cortana stumbled upon something concerning ancient human/forerunner knowledge, maybe feeding parts of the info into john's memory, resulting in changes.
maybe it's related to her going rampant, fighting it and therefore being weakend.

one thing:
the forward unto dawn isn't just floating towards the "gate", she "runs" straight on into it - i think it's very likely she's getting actively pulled into. maybe cortana activated the gate herself? there is still power on the FuD, after all and according to the interview frankie gave, something happened between the legendary ending and and the trailer, but that the LE was a hint to where they are.

so, my wild guess: the FuD was drifting towards the "mysterious planet" in H3's LE. ever since then people believed that it was a forerunner world. i say that cortana started scanning and somehow hit the jackpot, finding ridiculous amounts of data on the universe's history, including that of mankind and hints to a nearby portal or shieldworld.
lacking any better option she activated it.

during all that, something else happened, changing the relationship between cortana and chief.

what i can't come up with is an answer to why the chief looks different. this means that at one point he must have gotten out of the freezer, modified/change his suit and jumped back in. how would that make sense?

For me, I found the Halo 4 trailer to be somewhat similar to the Halo Wars cutscene where the Spirit of Fire was sucked into the core of the Shield World.

linky

Just my opinion though.

If you dont mind me saying so I believe going back to High Charity to save her classes as "anything to protect [her]". :P

He trusts Cortana, rampant or not, absoutely. I believe this is one of the things that has got her through rampancy in (mostly) one peice.
He knows that she wouldn't call him unless she was in serious danger and/or terrified. And as said above he has proved he will do anything to protect her.

I think his lack of cocky response was more of an instinctual reaction to Cortana's cries for help than a change of personality. Once her put her chip in his head she told him exactly how to escape and let him do his magic.

SO yeah.

I was thinking that his calm mood would be something to do with Cortana's rampant stage on the way. If something did happen between Halo3 and Halo4, then it would of added more time to Cortana's life span. Maybe he was being calm to stop her from thinking to much, as rampancy is commonly known as an A.I 'thinking itself to death'.

The Dawn is most likely burning up on reentry.
