Subject: How did the Chief wake up in brand new armour?!

"I'm not going to lie to you, Lieutenant. You're stepping into some dangerous shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled. Me, I'm just happy to have Noble back up to full strength. I read your files, even the parts ONI didn't want me to see. I'm glad to have you're skill set. But we're a team. That lone wolf stuff, it stays behind. Got it?" "Yes, sir." "WELCOME TO REACH."

So John goes inside a cryo-tube wearing his Mk VI armour and then Cortana wakes him up and he fins himself in-- Mk VII?-- armour, with huge shoulders, a new helmet, and a completely different chest plate. How did this happen? I'm not against the Chief getting some armour upgrades--They just need to MAKE SENSE. To change MJOLNIR armour you need another human being and huge machinery. (Also, you need to be OUTSIDE a cryotube.) And where could Master CHief find this stuff on half a frigate?
As I said, I don't mind new armour (aside from the fact that it doesn't look as dominant as his previous armour), but this is just impossible.

I'm pretty sure 343 will explain. If not, who cares.

I do, because it screws up the story! The story is the most important part for me.

No, your question is about the Halo 4 trailer mate. Yes you could argue it's Halo 3 related but... well let's be honest- it's about Halo 4.

Anyways, you need to keep in mind that Teasers are not Canon. Teasers are there to show off things and get people excited. None of that actually happened. For all we know he has regular armor then upgrades when he reaches that mysterious planet. Same with that pistol and the thruster pack. But it isn't canon until the game comes out and explains it.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

1) Frankie has said there will be an explanation for any changes to his armour, he said that he will not necessarily wake up with completely different armour. Some of the aesthetics are similar to the Forerunner combat skin in Origins - thus it seems likely he will get upgraded.

2) Non-canonical CGI trailer is non-canonical...

3) Why should anyone care? I didn't see you complaining about how Thel somehow managed to have his armour change colour, grow a flashlight and some mandible guards in Halo 3. Nor how John got some new gauntlets, and why Johnson was white.

Halo 1 armor was not exactly like Halo 2 armor.

Halo 2 armor was not exactly like Halo 3 armor.

Halo 3 armor was wayyyyyyyyyyy better than Reach armor.

Why does it surprise anyone that a new game with a new developer would have new armor?
