Subject: So about that built in jetpack he had the whole time...

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

This topic is starting to irritate me.

Please think along these lines and it will be come clear

"The "jetpack" is actually a 0g thruster device"

"The CGI teaser trailer MAY not be set at the start of the game and as such might pick up the pack and new armour along the way"

Please think before you type and stop spamming this poor forum with recycled topics.

i don't think he had it all the time.

frankie stated that something happened between H3 and H4.
something rather big, because it not only explains why MC looks different bit also changed the relationship between MC and Cortana.
in order to have his armor "upgraded" MC must have left the cryo-chamber at least once before the H4 trailer, assuming that the standard UNSC cryo-chamber doesn't feature a MJOLNIR maintainance function. yet still they're stuck on the FuD wreck.
this means (or, could mean) that cortana woke MC to have him perform some zero-g activities, hence the boosters.

IMHO it is perfectly possible that zero-g enviroments will make up a big part of H4, making the maps/playermovement more three-dimensional and the boosters/thrusters will be featured in gameplay prominently.

Well, Dead Space has armor upgrading stations, so why not Halo?



because in DS thoes were civilian,military,miner armor stations not some spartan ultra one man army wallmart

No there isn't. Those are smgs...


Are you blind?

http://www.halopedian.com/images/a/a1/Spartan-062.jpg

There's the picture that I've shown both DaeFaron AND YOU twice now. Twice. The first time, you thought it was the huge re-entry pack (similar to what Noble Six wore) that I was talking about. Seems to me like you two just can't make up your mind, and are looking for reasons to say they screwed canon.


First off you didn't mention it was located at her hips in the other thread. Second off, when you did I pulled out my book and took a closer look and it still changes nothing.

Page 61. Last panel. She reaches for the SMGs located and stored inside the hip panels. Even in the panels leading up to her pulling them out while she's on the ground it clearly resembles some sort of gun. Look before you call someone else blind.

Edit:

Unfortunately I do not have the means to scan my copy of the HGN and show the particular panel I speak of. However this video when played in fullscreen shows a good close up of three panels at :50, 2:05, and 2:13 where it can be seen that it is an SMG and NOT thrusters. The 3D modeler accurately reflects this during his recreation of the scene.

The picture on the Halo wiki that you've linked does not have the right amount of zoom to clearly show the detail of the gun. Namely the barrel, the stock, and the protrusions at the top of the gun. Anyone who actually has the HGN can see that clearly first hand from the get go.

Edit 2:

After doing a bit of a look around I discovered that someone has uploaded a view of all the comic pages. The page and panel I refer to can be found here at 4:09. Unfortunately, like with the link jack over there posted to "prove" that they're thrusters, the video shows the panel in a large enough resolution to make out the finer details you would see in person. However, it does show the action of the Spartan reaching for her SMG and pulling it out from its location at her hip for use in the next panels in addition to the other one she procures from that ODST she's holding. Obviously, if the device in question (which by the way is only on one side of her) is a thruster, there would be no need for her to reach for it on the ground.

I would assume it only functions in a zero-G environment.

considering how little thrust they present in a zero g enviroment, i assume they could be used inside normal gravity...to light the campfire, or cook some wieners.... for thrust? not a chance.

Actually, a little thrust in a zero-G enviroment which provides little to no resistance is quite a push.

Forgive me if I don't make sense, but I cannot catch the gist of your statement.

The trailer for Halo 4 is not canon. It is just a trailer that teases us at what's to come. It's why they're called teaser trailers.

umm...


your making no sense, in a zero g vacuum environment a small amount of thrust would achieve a great amount of speed, as the object does not have to fight gravity, or resistance, take a look at a firearm, if you fire a gun in space, the amount of recoil would actually cause the gun to continually fly backwards until it hits something, it would go on basically forever, yet in a gravity well(like a planet), and atmosphere it merely recoils a few inches before friction and gravity causes it to stop.

"The strength of the pack is the wolf, the strength of the wolf is the pack."

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me..."

ODST for life

It's possible that he is now wearing the MVII armor which has multiple upgrades from the MVI....which probably includes something like a jet pack.

How exactly he got this armor? Don't know but in Hasleys' journal she talks about it and the capabilities it would have. Best explanation would be that there was a set somewhere on the ship.

Or it could just be a zero-grav booster...either way...

If you can read this, that means I'm not a Shaolin monk...

You.are.mentally.challenged.


^playing around, but seriously, it's not a jetpack, it is only for zero-gee environments, that thing wouldn't even budge chief on earth.


This.

For those of you talking about new armor, the same was for H2 to H3. The thrusters flip out of those giant parts of his armor right around the shoulderblades.

Remember kids, there's no gravity in space. Your breath could send a feather flying for miles, just like these small thrusters can boost MC around while in space.

This.
