Master Chief with a jetpack even though he went into cryo without one, the weapon he used that should not have been there since it sure wasn't when he left the ark and his MJOLNIR armour looks completely new and un-scarred from battle. I love Halo but this trailer definitely made me feel uneasy about 343 making the game.

What do you guys think?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

It's not a sodding jetpack! It's an internal EVA thruster pack for zero-gee environments.

It is a CGI trailer, it's designed to look cool, it is not going to be the definitive look of the final game. Use common sense moar pl0x...

Do some research buddy

Frankie said in an interview with IGN,that the new design of the armor has story purposes.It will be explained.

Remember when he had been hit by sparks beam in Halo 3 unshielded?That's maybe why his has new chest armor in Halo 4.

Don't worry,it will be explained,just have patience.

Common sense? Hmm... Well common sense would say that 343 would have looked at the end of Halo 3 and tried to not have many OBVIOUS errors. Common sense would say, look how jetpacks turned out in Halo: Reach. Common sense would say at the end of Halo 3 the Master Chief didn't go into cryo with a jetpack on. Halo fans that actually care about the storyline and not just multiplayer, might have a problem with some of the stuff. And because my opinion is different from yours I don't have common sense? Please. You sir, need some common sense yourself.

All I am saying is that I hope that 343 does not put something in the game that would not make sense based on how Halo:3 left off.

I see you completely ingored the fact that the armor changes have story reasons.

Maybe you should check your eyes on hospital and watch the teaser again because:
-It isn't a goddamn jetpack
-It's -blam!- built in,you can't put it on.It has always been there.

Read Halseys journal where it confirms the VI has EVA capabilities,which are those thrusters.

Nice grammar by the way. And way to sound like a 14 year old. Why insult a random person on a forum? Why not act intelligent and just state what you feel and move on?

The jetpack was never used in Halo 3 and in Ghosts of Onyx the Spartan 3's had to use EVA harnesses on their space op where Kurt is blown off course. Master Chief never used the jetpack to get to the cryo pod at the end of Halo 3. Look at the ending of Halo 3, and watch the Master Chief's back, there are differences. Strange he never used the jetpack in any 3 of the other halos where it woyld have been nice to but this one he can.

The books have obvious discrepencies with the games which makes it not as an enjoyable to a big halo fan. Again, all I'm saying is that they better not have big discrepencies since its a new developer trying to take the halo franchise in a new direction.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Made me feel really excited.

Although there were two things that made me a little uneasy:
-Although Chief used his thruster pack and NOT a Jet Pack, there's still a possibility of Armor Abilities return, which I DON'T want.
-Cortana's Appearance. She didn't really look like the Cortana we know. I hope they change that.

  • 06.13.2011 9:09 AM PDT

question everything...truth has no pedigree

I would have been disappointed if nothing had changed. I am very excited to see what happens. And I don't give a crap if it violates canon. That's what retcon is for.

Also, look again. The armor is scarred. Not that it matters.

  • 06.13.2011 9:24 AM PDT

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Why would you be upset about jet packs? Jet packs make everything better, it's science.

Q: Hey, what did Hitler say to the black jew?
A: Get to the back of the oven.

It's probably my second least favorite announcement trailer (Reach's announcement trailer sucked. Horribly. But the later trailers were pretty awesome, I'll admit).

With that said, I still liked it. It got me stoked for 4. I just hope I won't be let down like I was with Reach.

It is not a Jetpack!!!

None of the other Spartans used the thrusters because they neve got full MarkVI like John. They got minor field upgrades using MarkIV courtesy of Halsey but never a gull suit. Also is there any need to use a potentioly dangerous thruster pack in a calm situation. I would say that being sucked into a giant portal is an emergency and say it would be worth the risk.

Appeal to emotion
And the irony burns,as you told someone on this thread that he needs common sense.

I've repeated this before and i'll do it again.They used the mark IV in ghosts of onyx,offcourse it will need a seperate T pack as the armor isn't advanced as the mark VI.

Should i repeat this for the third time in this thread?The armor in Halo 4 is different for unknown story reasons that will be revealed later.Your entire complaint is about the armor which is adressed by Frankie and other sources,yet you ignore them and you kept -blam!- about it.And i ask you why.

Books are far more enjoyable for hardcore fans as books explore the fiction far more then the games.

The Spartan 3's used Mark 4. In the beginning of the book the Spartan 2's did have to have thrusters that weren't built into the armour. I'm looking at it right now. I am "blam"-ing about it because the canon will be messed up and I don't want to see that happen. The first 3 halos were awesome without a jetpack and the 4th would be awesome too without one. Awesome that Frankie will explain it but it didn't make logical sense that we comes out of cryo with something he didn't ever use and use it. In Fall Of Reach he and 2 other spartan 2's were in space and none of them used a built in thruster.

And it is not all about the armour. How about the pistol with explosive rounds?

?I'm confused the SIII's never used the mark 4,i think you either talk about the SPI or about Blue Team on that moon.
Yea true,but don't forget they used IV and not VI like MC.

We don't know if those thrusters will be used in gameplay or not,if it will then it will happen in zero gee combat,maybe we will have new zero gee gameplay in Halo 4 ,better then the one in Reach.

Don't worry,they aren't stupid i'm sure we will hear a valid explanation :)

Those from the fall of reach used mark V,less advanced then VI.

I get your point because it didn't appeared in Halo 3?Well because it wasn't seen doesn't means it wasn't there.
Example:There were ODST's in the autumn,but we never saw them ingame.
-Hornets,never seen in previous Halo games till Halo 3.That doesn't means it didn't existed before,it's just because Bungie didn't invented it's design yet or other reasons.

Flashbangs were never used in the games either,yet we know spartans love to use them.

Remember that Halo games have a limit of number of weapons and vehicles for gameplay reasons,and Bungie was always carefull of not mention things that will confuse players.

Halo 4 didn't ruined the canon,just wait for further info and give it a chance ;)

Cortana's new hairstyle is troubling.

Honestly, it's not a game-breaking change(from what I can see), but it just seems like an unnecessary change. And it doesn't even look like her. If she didn't have boobs, I'd have thought she was a man.

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 didn't see any trailer.

What I saw was a teaser, which is substantially shorter and less revealing than a trailer.

  • 06.13.2011 11:52 AM PDT

because it isn't in any way shape or form a pistol, that much is obvious as day.

also who says the thrusters were never their, you? are you making the game? stop complaining and give 343 a chance to make a great game without being constantly whined at by people complaining that something is messing with their precious 'Canon', who cares if it is a new addition, as long as it fits in the game-play and adds something to it then who really cares at the end of the day?

its almost as pointless as arguing that Johns armour got more 'detailed' between Halo II and Halo III, it looks different in the third game even though its the 'same' armour, times change, get used to it or don't even bother, that is my overall advice.

  • 06.13.2011 11:53 AM PDT

Your spot on there. this is only made to make us mess our pants while we wait a year for it to come out. im just waiting for halo anniversary to come out i think im more excited about that than halo 4

Wrong. Fred, Linda and Will all got MK. VI as well.

There is no source in canon that states ANY version of MJOLNIR armor had built in thrusters. Stop spreading it around without having taken the time to verify it.
