He's a byword for endurance, the one constant in a universe rocked by Covenant invasion, but according to 343 Industries, Master Chief hasn't made the transition from Halo 3 to Halo 4 psychologically unscathed.Eagle-eyed fans picked up on changes to the Chief's armor in the new game's E3 reveal trailer, noting in particular that his mighty Spartan codpiece is no more. "There's some story behind his new look," explained studio boss Frank O'Connor in an E3 interview. "<strong>There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his [emphasis]behaviors[/emphasis] have changed. We'll see in good time.Halo 4 gets going some time after the previous game's conclusion, with the Chief's vessel drifting in space towards a mysterious planet. "A lot of things have changed in that intervening period," O'Connor hinted. If character and setting have shifted, one thing Halo 4 aims to preserve is the feel of Bungie's original trilogy, with Microsoft Games Studios corporate vice-president Phil Spencer telling us that <a href="http://www.oxm.co.uk/29943/halo-4-will-get-back-to -what-halo-is-about-microsoft/">the new game "will live up to what fans fell in love with". Here's the trailer again for your consideration. Notice any new personality quirks? We find it hard to believe you can slaughter that many Grunts without acquiring some sort of emotional baggage.

Got this right off the 343 forums

as for halo going "back to its roots" i call more of a focus on the grand story of halo, such as the precursors and the relations to them. I call for a deeper focus on story telling and hopefully a smaller more controlled sandbox.

e3 2012 would have been too late.

Halo fest wouldn't attract so many people.

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.

You're right, I'm expecting kind of a story recall. We're probably not going to see much of the Covenant this time around, and the Chief we'll be seeing isn't entirely the Chief we know.

I have faith in this reboot of the franchise.

I don't understand how MC's behavior has changed. Are they referring to PTSD?

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

I'm hoping Halo 4 will capture the same ambient and alien feel of being on a mysterious world, like Halo CE.

Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

I can only dream that it will play like Halo CE.

Lol, and I thought Cortana was the one going bonkers here. Didn't expect that from chief.

Very interesting! You are right because I thought if anyone would be acting a little different, it would be Cortana. I can't wait to see how the chief's behavior changes.

I have faith in 343!

nothing new here. it even says so in your quote: "There's some story behind his new look," explained studio boss Frank O'Connor in an E3 interview. "

all this info's been given out by frankie in the IGN E3 interview.

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Will we be seeing Ghostly images of our dead girlfriend slowly leading us to die in order to complete some kind of Grand Marker?

i see what you did there...


And yeah, Chief changing isn't surprising.

Basically being the war machine of an entire planet, going through all the -blam!- he's been through. God knows he must have helmet hair from hell.

Not to mention having to deal with the death of Maranda Keyes, Sergeant Johnson, and being stranded in space with the thoughts of maybe never seeing earth again. I would imagine that would have some kind of impact on him.
