Subject: H4 trailer Is this Possible?

"Defiant Reclaimer, he who will shatter the land and break the sky apart..."

Yeah just a quick thought for everyone getting upset about Chief's armour and what-not:
Could Chief have woke up say weeks before the trailer when Cortana say first sighted the planet? Made some adjustments like removed his cod-piece etc etc.... then gone back to sleep until he gets tractor beamed.

This is justa thought and there are many different variants of him waking up post-trailer, not that I'm convinced this is true but just wanted to hear some feedback.

In the Comic Con panel, Chief no longer has his old codpeice but a black one that makes it more breathable.

I don't know either...

They call me HEY MAN!!!!!

The snow on the cryo-pod does'nt says so

Plus, it is impossible to itself up from cryo sleep ( i think )

The frost on the cryo-pod doesnt really prove anything, Due to the temperatures of space it would remian on the pod unless phsically brushed off. Something i can't see Master Cheif bothering to do...

I don't want people holding to the details mentioned before, maybe he did or didn't alter armour/weaponry whatever... but maybe he had been awake before the trailer kicks off and then went back to cryo again. Seems like a fairly reasonable way to explain at least some things.

My thoughts on it so far are that they've been around the Legendary planet for a while and that Cortana's been in contact with a person, forerunner, or AI down on the planet and perhaps she was able to use their tech to upgrade the Chief's armor. In Halo Cryptum we read how the Forerunner are able to basically grow anything from a ship to a chair, so I figure Cortana maybe used some Forerunner tech to upgrade Chief's armor... and her snooping around in the systems down on the planet is maybe what caused it to open up and start sucking them in.

That's just my theory on it right now, but if I came up with that, I'm sure a professional writer can and has come up with something AT LEAST on par with, if not more than likely better than, something like that.

I think it's artistic alterations to make the trailer look better. After all it was just a CG trailer so who's to say the missing armor pieces isn't just to exaggerate how much he's been through.

I believe it was a joke; it was implied in the podcat they forgot to color that part of the armor, an oversight.

The game doesn't start the way it does in the trailer.

This. It's just a trailer, not the game.

I don't think the jetpack would have fit in the cryotube.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Not a jet pack, maneuvering thrusters. And they way they designed them places them in an already existing part of armor. So it's feasible that they've always been a part of his armor.

They have always been in his armour. They're just there for moving in space. Atleast that would be my guess.

Yeah i know that, dunno why he never used them to give the Covenant back their bomb though? Probably been a lot easier and effective.

Who's to say he didn't? There was a lot of space that he covered that we didn't see. That, or it wasn't necessary. If he aimed it perfectly (and apparently he did), he wouldn't need it. The explosive decompression of the hangar bay provided all the thrust he needed.

I mean why physically position your body in zero gravity so you can push off a surface using your legs, true he could have used it in the parts we missed though.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Karen Travis will have a trilogy of books set between the end of Halo 3 and the beginning of Halo 4. You're all looking at this from the point of view that he just magically found a new set of armour.

This will all be explained in time.

I was specifically putting forward ideas to counter the sceptical 'Ooh Magic armour change' points of view.
Also will Travis' books follow MC, I thought they might just link together GoO and other post Halo 3 events...

  • 07.29.2011 4:56 AM PDT

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

March 3, 2553

That will probably be the explanation.....

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

explain to me how nobody said a damn thing when his gives changed in halo 3 yet he has a new dick piece and people freak out?

explain to me how cortana could possible "update" the chief in anyway? she can't touch him and Mjolnir isn't AOL.

It is the same armor and nothing in the trailer happens that way. let me explain.


1. you can not just wake up in cryo because you want to. i find it extremely said how nobody pointed that out.

2. he had an assault rifle next to him before he went to cryo, he would have picked it up.

3. the "jet pack" which he does not have has always been in his armor.


just stop people the claims make no sense.

Cortana could have woken him up I never suggested he woke himself up that would be stupid. Anyway my original point if you read it was that something along those lines could have happened it was certainly not a claim. I also never specified in anyway that is what happened, it was meerely a point of consideration.

I don't know who you're directing 2&3 at though.

  • 07.29.2011 5:33 AM PDT

Don't hate... ...loathe.

It is a Teaser Trailer to gernerate buzz. It was to introduce some new items to the game.

The first Halo: Reach trailer with in engine made graphics was all out of order with the story line and this is a CGI make by a seperate company that 343i.

More on topic: Foruners have teleport technology and Cortana used it in CE and Gravemind used it in Halo 2. Cortana might still have the knowlege and the "planet" had the hardware.
