...Unless, that is forerunner combat skin, just modified to Master Cheif's/Human preferences O:
I really think that could be the reason, haha. Call me radical and stupid, but look at the torso. It has some slight resemblance to Chiefs new torso, and his new look has a more compact, smooth design on the sides of his torso. That concept art could be changed later on by 343i too. You can also looks at the contours of the Combat Skin and compare it to Chief's new armor design. It's somewhat plausible that he integrated pieces of MJOLNIR armor (probably major components for the system to work, and whatever armor plating that is seen in the trailer) with this Combat Skin, dumped the helmet and the Dead Space 2-esque shin/knee guards, and replaced the Samus Aran hand pieces with more preferred gauntlets.
There is a snowball's chance in hell that he could have combined his MJOLNIR armor with Forerunner Combat Skin, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless.
Yeah, Forerunner Combat Skin would be awesome to wear but they'd have to balance it unless they learn a lesson from Crytek where you can use abilities of super solider... Maybe.
And teaser trailer isn't canon, which his armor is mere representative how it would have looked. IN-game trailer will likely to be different.
However, I'm willing bet to that John gets to wear Forerunner Combat Skin since his MJOLNIR is inferior to Forerunners (If they're enemy) also to Flood.
