Subject: Error with halo anniversary ?

pardon me if this is the wrong forum.

Anyway aren't they meant to be marines in Halo C.E. but it seems this picture (link above) shows army troopers (they look like the army the from reach anyway. I always thought the UNSC Army was land based and that it was the marnes who fought on installation 04. Just correct me if i'm wrong, i just wondered if i was the only one thinking this.

I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.

Maybe the marines in the CE Anniversary edition are Reach soldiers who escaped Reach's destruction?

However, if the canon states that the Pillar of Autumn had a full crew of combat soldiers on standby, that wouldnt make sense since Reach soldiers do not look the same as other soldiers that serve in space, and my above point is invalid.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Well this gameplay video isn't the finished product so they could either be place holders for there new soldiers or they will recolor them for marine BDU's.

People try to use the novels as a source of information, but just think. Since Reach breaks the canon established by the novels, it wouldn't make any sense to use them anyway.
As for the look of the soldiers in the game, the keyword is "REMAKE". 343 can change things.

Besides, there is barely a difference between the Army and Marine soldiers in Reach.

Yes, I saw this error as well. Some Army troopers on Reach may have escaped on the PoA but the troopers that accompanied Keyes at the end of the PoA level clearly wore the forest green of the UNSC Marine Corps.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I think those soldiers are just placeholder. From what I understand the footage from E3 was pre Alpha state, not Gold.

Cool, i just wondered seems as they look identical to the army troopers from reach. It will be intresting to se what the marines look like on Halo CE Anniverseary. From the trailer though master cheif looks abit dark in colour, wouldn't you agree?

maybe that will change aswell =)

If 343 altered the game in any way ,story wise or gameplay wise, then I will forever hate them. I might even throw eggs at their building.

They didn't just the graphics and re-recorded sounds.

343 stated that they were not done. Like many people complaining
about the chief's helmet that said they were fixing models but they wanted something for e3.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

I think that they're placeholders to be honest... notice that they're all the same model of Army Trooper?
