"Hero's Get Remembered, But Legends Never Die. Follow Your Heart, And You Can Never Go Wrong."

Personally, I've always been a huge fan of the Halo series, both Video Games, and the Books.

Upon playing through Reach, and discovering that it was not canon, and didn't follow the actual storyline, needless to say, I was very disappointed.

Now, onto E3. Halo 4.

I can already tell that 343 is going to ruin Halo 4 for all of the Halo fans. Just from watching the Trailer, I can tell this much.

Go back and watch it again, if you need to. Go ahead and skip ahead to 0:42.

A few things I'd like to point out:
- MC's armor isn't fully Mk. VI. Look at his shoulders.
- Cortana's voice sounds different.
- The location of the Cryo Tube has changed.

And, the big one:
- MC has a jet pack. -__- Built into his armor, FFS!

Please, 343, tell me: From the time of Master Chief climbing into the Cryo Tube at the end of Halo 3, to Now... How did he get different armor? Where did that Jet Pack come from?

Just stating my opinions. Take it or leave it. I can already tell 343 is going to ruin Halo 4 for all the fans.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Before everyone swoops down and screams it at the top of their lungs (because folks believe everyone should know everything about everything by now), there's been much talk about it being a thruster pack, not a jet pack.

Ah, thank you for the correction.

Never the less, my point still stands. Where did it come from? If it was built into his armor, why did we never have it throughout Halo 2 & Halo 3?

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

It was a teaser trailer, not an actual tie to the official canon, it was just to show how it would possibly start.

it will only work in true zero g environments, the only time he's in a true zero G environment in the games is at the end of halo 3... and he was in no hurry then, so really he hasn't had a use for them but they've been there all along.
and from a canon standpoint, tell me you're going to design a fully functioning multi billion$ suit of space capable battle armor... and not give it the means to move around in space, it's idiotic for it not to be there.

as for the armor, the company that did the CGI took some artistic liberties, especially considering the fact we've never seen Mc in that fidelity, im ok with it.

also, i'd like to point out, that 343 has done more to portray masterchief as a canon fitting spartan than any halo game before this CGI trailer, in no game do we see his incredible speed, reflexes and strength like we do in this few seconds of film.... just sayin.

It only works when there is no gravity apparantly, so he never had to use it in the other games. Also you can't judge a game on a few in-significant points shown in a teaser trailer.

The thruster pack may only be effective in space.
With that in mind, there were few moments in the trilogy it would have been useful.

  • 06.15.2011 1:42 PM PDT

Thruster packs.

They only work in zero-G because they only produce maybe a few of pounds of thrust. Trying to use them in gravity would be like trying to fly with two bottle rockets strapped to your back.

Out of the sky, Into the flames

Im pretty sure he used the thrusters in Halo 2 when he was sending the bomb back to the covenant, or I'm just thinking of something else

so you're saying that if MC's shoulder armor is messed up in a teaser trailer, then Halo is ruined forever?

- MC's armor isn't fully Mk. VI. Look at his shoulders.
- Cortana's voice sounds different.
- The location of the Cryo Tube has changed.
- MC has a jet pack. -__- Built into his armor, FFS!


-Frank O'Connor himself has said that there's story elements behind Chief getting a new look. I'm thinking Cortana possibly ran maintenance, or maybe there was a prototype set of Mk. VII on the Forward Unto Dawn that the Chief woke up and changed into, just in case.

-That could just be a placeholder voice-actor. She had like 5 lines in the entire trailer.

-No it hasn't. If it has, it's not so ungodly horrible that I have noticed it.

-That's a Thruster Pack, for use in zero-G environments.

It's called Artistic Licence! It's just a teaser trailer, it is not meant to be canon. Frankie said in the latest Sparkcast that it was the CG artist's interpritation of him.
- Cortana's voice sounds different.
Maybe Jen Taylor wasn't avalible for the teaser trailer and she will be back in the full game.
Maybe she decided that she didn't want to do Halo anymore and we're gonna get a whole new person to play her.
They replaced Rachel in The Dark Knight.
They replaced Rhodey in Iron Man 2

Get over it!
- The location of the Cryo Tube has changed.
Again, more artistic licence.

And, the big one:
- MC has a jet pack. -__- Built into his armor, FFS!

For Christ Sake! It's a zero-G booster pack! Spartans had them in The Fall Of Reach, it is not new!


I can already tell 343 is going to ruin Halo 4 for all the fans.
Well I can already tell you that 343 are not going to ruin Halo 4 for all fans. The trailor hasn't ruined anything for me or most of the fans who actualy know what they are talking about here.

Being a teaser, non-canon trailer made by a third party, lets look at it as such:

1) Frankie specifically said their are story reasons that will remain secret as to why he looks different.

2) Confirmed: Jen Taylor is playing Cortana. I never got why people think she sounds different tbh...

3) Again, creative license by it being a CGI teaser trailer. The Chief had different gloves in the Halo 3 teaser. Did that ruin the series?

4) An in built thruster pack that is defaulted onto all later models of the MJOLNIR suit. Hes had them since Halo 2 at least, just never used them.
