"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

...as long as they remain true to the formula.
The formula of the old trilogy?

Think about how Spartan armor works. They think certain things, and it happens. Couple that with some kind of mobile tech that vibrates, bends, does whatever to the molecules, cells, all of that, allowing for solid objects to pass through each other?
Uh, no. The MJOLNIR armor is linked to the Spartan's CNI, which is linked so closely to their Central Nervous System that it requires a skilled, trained technician to not kill the subject. Then, the CNI picks up electronic neural signals as their sent to the Spartan's different limbs, fingers, etc, and it instantly sends it to the MJOLNIR armor, almost before the Spartan's limbs receive the electrical signal.
It's nothing magic, and isn't a manipulation of outside matter. That being said, it is entirely possible that it is advanced Forerunner (or even Precursor) technology.

There is a huge difference though from jumping around to phasing someone through a wall and holding them in mid-air.
How do you know it wasn't a targeted, specific manipulation of Magnetic Fields? Bend the wall out (assuming it's metal,) and drag the soldier's armor - and thus the solider - closer?

If it involves Halo and psychic powers, I'm out.
Well, I'm sorry to sound snide, but you won't be missed. We don't lament every gamer that can't accept new horizons, and it's quite possible that this has a vaguely scientific and believable explanation.
Now, all that being said, I doubt the actual implementation to this animation. My main reason? I can't believe that no one else noticed the Batman music. (Specifically The Dark Knight.) I think 343i took a page from Bungie and tossed something out to "troll" fans and keep us guessing. It may be something from 343i, but there's nothing that says it's going to be used. Remember the Reach "files" that mentioned Sgt. Johnson?
