Subject: The best theory on MC's new armor

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

In my opinion, this is the best theory on why we see MC in different armor in the Halo 4 trailer. And I have examples.

Halo 3 reveal trailer
Now the ending to The Storm
Notice the difference?


Halo Wars reveal trailer
Notice the armor
Now notice the final product's armor

The armor from the reveal trailer changed in the final game for unknown reasons.
Also in the trailer, it shows Spartan Team Omega on Harvest. This never happens the game.



Here are all the possible scenarios to the armor change:
1. John acquires the armor sometime near the beginning of the game. This is just to show us what he looks like throughout most of the game. It would be pointless to show him in his iconic Mark VI for the reveal trailer and he doesn't wear it for most of the game.
2. It was a simple concept that was being used. Most likely to test the fans reaction. Or it's similar to the Halo Wars case.



OFF TOPIC: If you're tired of my threads, go complain about it in The Flood.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Or it's just his Mark VI armor with a new graphical engine.

then how come in Halo 3 the armor didn't have as drastic of a change?

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

I think the best way to stop the OP spamming more threads is to simply let them gather dust, from now he can talk to himself.
