What research did you do? If I recall correctly (and I do) many people, including myself, were telling you to your face that the thruster packs weren't integrated with evidence handed right to you while you denied it and decided to come up with insults as a counter argument. You want to present your theories, that's fine. It's what these forums are for after all, but don't oversell yourself for doing "research" when you haven't.
In any case, there is still no evidence within canon as it stands to suggest that the Mk VI had thrusters installed within it at this time. Yes, Halsey's journal mentions the possibility of adding new EVA tech along with Covenant anti-gravity technology, but the key word is that it's A) a possibility (keyword for confirmation is proof the concept was turned into reality and did not stay a concept) and B) In regards to the EVA tech there is no specification as to what that pertains to. It could pertain to integrated thruster packs, but at the same time it could just pertain to more modular upgrades along the lines of helmets, shoulder pads, and/or more advanced external t-packs.
In spite of the lack of using an internal pack in previous Halo games it can be an easy plausible recton for 343i to add those in from the get go as the basis for that tech have been laid out in Halsey's journal. Likewise, due to the nature of the teaser trailer the possibility of the Chief getting an upgrade to his Mk VI over the course of the actual game that involves integrating thrusters is open as well. In either case there is no decisive evidence to prove anything at this point.
