"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

To the OP,

that's a good observation there but it doesn't really confirm that it's Mk 7 armor...

I mean, look at all the armor variations in Reach...none of which existed in the canon or anywhere else until the game came out. There was no mention of alternate Mjolnir armors. There was just Mjolnir, and Spartans all looked the same.

Personally, I think it's more believable that John's Mk 6 had the jet-pack/thruster tech in it all along, simply because his armor has been unique from the start anyway (compared to the standard Mjolnir). For exmaple, being able to sync with an AI is one unique feature to his armor... So it wouldn't surprise me if, when he received Mk 6, it also came with prototype thrusters in it that he may have been advised not to use. That's one way 343 could spin it anyway...

There are atleast 4 ops that come up in the top of my head that he should have used them for then. Not to mention cortana would have advised them.

If they completely retcon that over covie vehicles or atleast some covie vehicles having shields i am going to quit.

Halo 4,,,,he still has mk 6, its a CGI! which means it might not be an accurate representation! Even so, what ae the odds that chief would be back on a split in half ship, in cryo, WITH cortana...mysterious...

Oh alright sorry my bad. Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Don't worry I don't actually think Cortana gets mail service out there.

When has there ever been proof that John's Mark V/VI is the only armor to be able to house an AI?

The very description of Mark V ruins that statement, as a Mark V feature is having the ability to have an AI plugged in.

are you just being stupid now? when he says " it doesn't take place directly after halo 3" he is talking about time. which we know is roughly 5 years later

My linked gamertag is not my main acc.

But how the hell could he obtain the armor? Unless cryo-sleeping changes your armor 343i damn better cough up some info.

oh, how i love this forums. why discuss, if instead you can just go ahead and insult people - that's so much easier.

o'conner stated that things have changed. in the period between h3 and h4 (where the trailer picks us up). furthermore, frankie says that there's a story behind MC's missing cod piece!


  • 07.20.2011 2:31 PM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

Really, this is all too soon to be making such claims for a game that is a long ways away.

It is easier because it shuts up stupid speculation. if i was always nice everybody would think we were fighting covenant in halo 4 (which i stopped).

Wow a cod piece is missing. It could have been damaged so he dropped it or it is a update in making the armor more canonically accurate. ether way it isn't anything to get wet over, it is just a cod piece

Did you read what he said at all? As a different theory, maybe he was woken up earlier for Cortana for repair and upgrade to his armour? There are hundreds of different explanations, it has been 5-12 years since Halo 3. As for Covie Cars having shields, it would certainly explain why normal bullets (NOT sniper crap) is less effective against them to a point.

Explain to me how cortana could possibly change his armor when she can't touch him? There is nothing cortana could update his armor isn't Firefox. Not to mention that would be wasting his air along with him randomly getting a thruster pack for no reason.

At the end of halo 3 they are just drifting in space; space is massive they could do that for thousands of years, so it makes no sense to randomly get a thruster pack and waste air that might be needed later.

IT is at the legendary version in which halo 4 take place and it has been roughly 5 years since halo 3, not 12.

@grey

learn to read (i'm certain that's the language you understand):
Noone said cortana updated the armour without waking chief, the user you quoted said "cortana woke chief".
the cod-piece is missing. there's a story behind it. like you said yourself: no (hardware) upgrade possible while in cryo.

gotcha, now - if i may make a wish: (EDIT: please!) stfu or change your tone.

There is no upgrade regardless; what could cortana upgrade him with? they are in the middle of space, the only thing i could see her giving him is stardust

John always had thruster packs if you look at the things by his shoulders they were always there he just never needed to use them.

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

But they were never listed as a feature in Catherine's journal.

If you actually look at the armor you can clearly tell it is an add-on that he is wearing.

1. why didn't he use it in halo 2?

2. why didn't he use it in halo 3?

  • 07.20.2011 3:19 PM PDT

its a teaser you cant base ever thing on it sure there might be armor abilities who knows if there are just hope there not armor lock

  • 07.20.2011 3:40 PM PDT

@accordingto343

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

The only logical thing for Chief to do would be to craft patchwork armor of his MJOLNIR Mk.VI and cobbled pieces of Forerunner armor.
