Ok, now I know its a bit early for speculation and im going off on just some random thought in my head.

However, I do recall in First Strike reading about how one of the other spartans recieved a new pair of Mark VI [or VII lord knows...havent read it in a while] gauntlets. According to the FAQ, they are indeed new gloves. This makes me wonder if perhaps it is not the cheif walking there...but a different spartan.

Most likely, i am just being foolish, however even the color of the cheif doesnt seem very green/olive to me.

If anyone who is god like on the book lore could look it up...i would be greatful...and anyone who wants to laugh at me or agree do so.

EDIT: OK, the color can be sorta explained by the dirt. The Gloves however are an indication of most likely one of the following:

* Bungie just redesigned them...most likely this
* For some reason it isnt the cheif which would be cool, but unlikely...
* Or, It The cheif gets some upgrades...it does look like he got off the ship, so maybe he made contact with some other humans.

I did, and you should re-read it. They arent revealing information on it. For all we know, that could be a Mark VII.

Anyway, most likely it is the Cheif just because its the announcement trailer...still, its a cool possiblity and may give hope to being able to see the other spartans.

He is right all the spartans received peices of new armor. The MC was on halo or something at the time. Maybe the cheif received the new armor at cairo station. From the books this armor was some serious -blam!-. I dont think the armor in Halo 2 is up to par.

How is it a Mark VII? In the beginning of Halo 2, the Mk. VI armor was completely new, not a day old. I doubt they'd make an entire new class of the armor, considering that Halo 2 takes place in a matter of days, and that Earth is being brutally attacked. They'd have no time, or reason, to develop new armor.

The description of the trailer on XBL says its the cheif.

Well, the other spartans recieved enhanced armour, and no...according to the novels it wasnt brand new technology. The other spartans recieved special enhanced versions. Therefore, this may be all it is.


Honestly, like they said...dont jump to conclusions. Still, its a cool thing to ponder. About the dirt...hahaha...yeah didnt think about that.

Although, the gloves may indicate that somehow he recieved an upgrade, it isnt the master cheif, or Bungie just wanted to redesign him for fun. Most likely the latter.

Yeah don't mean to prove you wrong but in halo2 he got a new suit. In halo3 he is coming right off the ship from the ending of halo2. read the FAQ it says it is right after halo2.

Well, if you remember, the first thing Master Gunns said in the Armory was: "This armor's a Mark VI- just got it in from Songnam this morning." So I'm lead to believe that it was finished, and immediately shipped.

Why do people keep thinking that bungie will put something into Halo 3 from the Halo books? So far, since H:CE, bungie has jumped around almost all the things mentioned in the books....Why would they start implementing characters from the books into the games? That would not make any sense. Please, don't flame me or anything, I've read the books, Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike......

It has already been suggested five billion times that it wasn't the MC in the trailer. If you actually took the time to read the WWU, you would notice the developers stating that "The Chief is shown as warrior who has seen horrific battle – and it shows."

How many spartans do you think are named "The chief"? Read the damned stickies already. Jeez.

True, but my thought is that it is old technology. The other spartans got their new suits on Reach after its attack. Therefore, since Reach was assualted, the technology would have been destroyed. Soooo, when Cheif gets his on Earth, it would be technically new. My thought is that perhaps Hasley took some technology with her, and returns with Kelly and delievers it to the Cheif. Who knows though...too early to speculate.

Ok, read my edit...thank you! It was up before this post. Thank You! It says that It most likely is the cheif, but suggests upgrades or some unknown reason.

Erm... yeah, I hit "I" a twice. Thanks for catching that.

  • 05.09.2006 6:04 PM PDT

Q

Which characters will be returning in Halo 3?
A

Well as you can see from the trailer, at a minimum, we'll see the Chief and Cortana in some shape or form. And I believe Banshee pilots...


im assuming this means its the Chief with upgrades
