343 have failed already

I wake up to find myself
After all these years
And where all the time has gone
Still seems so unclear

I believe someone from 343 said they'd explain his new armor. So, don't jump to conclusions yet.

  • 07.29.2011 12:57 AM PDT

I am going to guess that throughout his travels he encounters a fair share of forerunner tech, including a forerunner combat skin, and it becomes integrated with his armor, since it can adapt to the wearer automatically (a la chakas and riser receiving forerunner combat skins in cryptum).

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

Master Chief's armor changed from Halo 2 to 3. Bungie failed already, apparently.

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 is releasing a trilogy of books that are set between Halo 3 and 4. That will likely explain the change in appearance.

Karen Traviss' books aren't going to be about Master Chief, they will be post-war but they'll be dealing with other loose ends throughout the Halo universe; eg. what happened to the team in Ghosts of Onyx? Those kind of questions. But they'll have a story of their own too, although it won't be about John.

I know that he's not a main character, but he's in there so we'll likely find out why he had a change of clothes.

I hope he looks normal at the start, and changes into this armour during the game, hopefully its forerunner, that would be cool.

That fact that the big gash in the chest piece from H3 supports this hypothesis.

I don't know who told you the Chief is in the Glasslands trilogy but you should promptly punch him/her/it in the face because he simply isn't. The only Spartan in the book is named Sarah (or any other spelling variation of the name).

While the trilogy could effectively be called a Halo 4 prequel--because O'Connor confirmed all things from here on out are related to each other, Glasslands being no exception--MC will not appear in Glasslands.

That is clearly not the same armour as in halo 3.

Halo 3 Chief

Halo 4 Chief

No use calling people idiots when you, yourself are wrong.

No point in saying it is the same armor when you clearly don't understand CGI graphics do not equal actual graphics.

the only thing that is different is the COD piece, other than that it is the most accurate account of Mjolnir we have.

not to mention there is no where for john to get "new armor" when bungie said it is still the same but updated which will be explained in the story.

A few changes does not label it new armor, if that were the case people would have "new skin" every time they got a tan.

It looks different, but it has to be the same armor. If you look closely you'll see that he has the same damaged portion of his armor as he had in Halo 3. Why his MJOLNIR looks so different no one knows, we'll just have to wait for 343 to explain.

Its not the same armour, i never said it was new armour. Look at the shoulder pads, they are completely different. Its clearly had extra parts or changed, its not the same, but its not new.

Graphical update+ CGI.

That is no different than the gloves changing from halo2 to halo 3.

same armor.

Those shoulder pads are definitely not the same. I know its CGI, but such a graphical overhaul would not cause that much change, i still support the idea of a forerunner combat skin being incorporated.

they are the same this is where the "it is more canonically accurate" part comes in.

It looks different but that doesn't explain why it looks very damaged ala Halo 3, the forerunner addition theory could be correct but I haven't read that (luckily I'm getting Halo Cryptum soon). I think it's akin to Halo Reach's Mk V, compared to Halo 1 it's very different but it's apparently the same (though it could of been a different variant, IDK).

So we don't know basically.

  • 07.29.2011 8:44 AM PDT

i dont like it either and i think it would look so much better. i have played halo CE, halo 2, halo 3, halo wars, halo ODST and halo reach they were all good but i think armour custimization should be toned down a bit as people will brag over whos better because of armour. halo is about skill not what you have or how may games you have played. maybe armour is unlocked through getting commendations?

  • 07.29.2011 8:53 AM PDT

The armor is not even close to the same. Why or how they will explain it is in our future but lets compare to lay it to rest.

Helmet
1 - Space where the mount is has the 4 dots and a raised square piece.
2 - The whole chin is one integrated piece in Halo 4 but in Halo 4 it is clearly not one continuous piece.

Chest
1 - The neckline if more straight lined in Halo 3 but in Halo 4 it is U Shaped.
2 - The breast pieces are more squared off in Halo 3 and are more slanted in Halo 4
3 - Halo 3 is a 2 piece and Halo 4 is a 3 Piece
4 - Overall they appear nothing like each other except the top shoulder area.

Waist
1 - Halo 3 has a large waist guard with junk cover while Halo 4 uses a v shape with no junk protection.

Shoulders
1 - Halo 3 reflect almost identically the ODST Shoulders available in the Reach Armory. I use the myself so I should know. The Halo 4 shoulders are rounded to conform to a bicept and even cover the front area of the shoulder.

Arms
1 - Halo 3 arms are more bulky and the Halo 4 arms are smaller and have a thinner look.
2 - While it is easy to see the differences it is hard to explain the details. They too are completely different.

Hands
1 - While we cannot see the hands well in this photo it appears as if there are not covers on them and that it is just gloves.

Overall thoughts.

The armor in Halo 4 looks much skimpier and more form fitting. It appears much easier to move in, almost like it would allow the MC to have a much wider range of movement and flexibility. There seems to be less waste of area spent on bulky armor.

It is almost as if someone said for him to move like a soldier he needs to loose this here and be able to bend there. Like as if they need him to be more life like.

I remember reading a story about how the current armor would have made filming a movie impossible do to the restrictive nature of the current armor. Maybe some of that went into this design because it sure looks like he will be able to do much more in this design.

I actually like it a lot but as a fan I feel like the MC has been stolen away without reason which hopefully we will get sooner or later. It is almost like the MC went from Badarse to a little Timeshift wanna be in a way.

I would imagine a full body shot will make him look tougher but in the end I won't really care and will still blast all the stuff I can in the game.
