We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other.

According to 343, John's smooth, dented, and scarred armor wasn't good enough, and I fail to see why. John's look was absolutely perfect for an epic hero in my opinion. Smooth, not too bulky, nothing huge, no missiles built in, just a simple armor suit, and a faceless warrior where you built the character, perfect.

Now the armor is all rigid and full of angles. What in the? Why would they do this? Now he looks more like something out of a piece of anime, this is absurd!

No, I'm not afraid of change, but in this case - If it ain't broke, don't fix it - really screams in Freddy's face.

What he needs is a slim and sleek Forerunner combat skin. Or somehow fuse that with his existing armor.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

He needs his crouch plate back.

I look forward to seeing the updated chief, since 343 heard the dissapointment in how different he looks.

I don't mind a newer more complex looking suit, but it should still undeniably be the same suit.

  • 10.23.2011 7:36 PM PDT

He needed a new look. The old one was outdated.

You don't like it because it's different.

There wasn't really any disappointment, and 343 didn't hear it...

new look is not that different, they change the look in every game

"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."

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

It's more of a "how did his armor change while in stasis" issue. That and the trailer armor didn't look so good anyway.

I'm sorry, I don't want to come off as rude, but I have to disagree with the italicized statement. We play through John's experience, but never alter it. In Halo CE, 2 and 3 the players' experience varies depending on players' style, but in the end we all get the same conclusion (unless played on different difficulties). I would understand if this was said about Noble 6, but even then the impact the player had on the character was only his/her appearance. Maybe this will be different in Halo 4?

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

This^^

I hate new armor's look.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

The armour in the trailer isn't the finished version and it'll probably look a bit different in the game and it's a teaser trailer. The full game is still a year away.

Also, my guess is that they wanted to show us that we'll be getting new armour in the game. We'll probably start off with the exact armour Chief finished Halo 3 in and then upgrade the armour later (it'll still look a bit different because it's a new game).

Armour isn't finished. Frankie said this.

(Think of what happened with CEA. First trailer armour looked nothing like final product)

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.
