Finish the Fight!

I agree with you in saying that I would not like that at all. I think it would kind of take away from the meaning of the story since customizing what the Masterchief looks like would suddenly make you feel as if your not really playing as the Masterchief anymore. Personally I feel like I would really be taken out of the story the second I saw a different looking Masterchief. If it does happen though, I'm leaving him at default for sure. :)

We'll see. The change doesn't really bother me. The suit still has a striking resemblance to the old one. Although, I wish 343 will try to explain the change. If not, oh well. It's a game for god's sake.

Exactly. I don't remember anyone being as up in arms about this as when the HUD changed between H2 and H3 (without any actual reason at all other than development).

If there is actually a story reason, it'd better be good. I don't personally care/need a reason for it, but if they say there's going to be one, it'd better not be a retcon.

Or it was just a CG trailer...

  • 08.13.2011 11:56 PM PDT

if you look closely at Halo 3 defult armour, and the Halo 4 trailer, their the same thing, except halo 4 is more detailed(Mainly cuz of CG) and because of a better engine, they can add how it was suppose to look,

New theory: As the Chief gets closer to the planet, his armor beings to augment into to a Forerunner combat skin, because of some unknown technology that they had possessed. By the end of the game his armor would be completely transformed into that of a Forerunner warrior.

thats a pretty dumb theory... honestly no offense..but still

It lacks a crotch plate, the shoulders are completely different, the area around the lower torso is designed differently, and then there's is the jet pack

Honestly, when Halo 4 comes out there may be some reasonable explanation. For now they're probably just taking artistic license because its just a teaser trailer. Sort of like the teasers for Halo 3 were. I doubt that trailer is actually how Halo 4 will open, so no worries.

John probably encounters some forerunner tech and the tech changes to suit his... suit.

@accordingto343

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

Posted by: RomanGladiator17

Imagine, you wake up from cryo as Cortana calls you. It's in first person. You do the basic diagnostic routine a la CE. Cortana then mentions that she found a secret storage aboard the Forward Unto Dawn, and that is when you get to customize your Chief, a la Reach.



That is a terrible theory. Oh the Dawn had a secret armor storage someone neglected to tell anyone about? That is piss poor storytelling.

My thoughts are that 343i is going to rip off Crysis 2.

The customization will be something based on things and artifacts from the forunners which will somehow conform to MC's armor. He'll somehow be able to upgrade his armor, hud, sheilds, and weapons.

And you'll be able to customize his armor and weapons on the fly, by hitting the D-pad buttons, it will pop up different menus that will allow you to customize his different aspects of himself (ie. armor, weapons, etc.). And there you have it.

Okay...so? That bad or good? Sounds fine to me, but it isn't very Halo.

My jokes, so I don't lose them (ignore this):
ZedFish's Opinion on Sgt. Foley.
ZedFish's Forerunner Rickroll.

If it's customisable, then I'll be disappointed but not put off.
If it isn't customisable, then I'm happy; albeit green and Mk-VI-y.
