They have no logical way to explain his new armor.
In Halo Cryptum, Forerunner tech is grown around them all of the time. In Halo Legends Origins Cortana has gleaned a lot of information about the history of the Forerunner from somewhere. In the teaser trailer, an entrance to the inside of what is likely a shield world (and the planet from the Legendary ending to Halo 3 of course) is opened by some means. If I had to guess, I'd say it was PROBABLY opened by something Cortana may have done, and if Cortana is messing with Forerunner stuff on the surface of that planet, how long has she been doing it? How long were they near that planet before Chief woke up?
Anyway, what I'm getting at, is that a very simple explanation gleaned from a lot of the fiction that 343 has put out since they were formed is that this armor could have been grown around or over, or somehow INTO the armor Chief was already wearing, using technology that the Forerunner very casually use in the novel Cryptum to grow everything from a starship, to a chair, to armor of their own. And that's just what I came up with. Someone who actually has talent as an author could probably do much better than that I'm sure.
