You're asuming that I got that idea from there?
No.
There is no canonical source that states the contrary. So you can't. Don't be mendicant for support with your bias.
You're right.
There is no canonical source that states Mark VI armor doesn't have a built in grappling hook, therefor, it must have one!Who knows, maybe there is a grappling hook.
The logic here isn't "nobody said it doesn't have X, so it does", it's " nobody said it doesn't have X and he's clearly using it, so it does".
Promotional material is the lowest form of canon.
The Gunnery Sergeant in Halo 2 does not mention a thruster pack when he lists the upgraded components of the Mark VI, Master Chief does not use it during the limited space walk on Cairo Station, and no members of Blue Team use it during the Battle of Onyx, or during their space op around Earth.
The only time a built in thruster pack is used is in a single, non-gameplay trailer. When 343 states that MJOLNIR armor has a built in thruster pack, you can spread it around as fact. Until then, it is an unsubstantiated assertion, shifting the burden of proof.
