The whole suit could potentially be a new one of the same model. It's scratched in different places than it was in Halo 2.

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


How will the Chief even get the upgrades, pray tell, if there are any? I mean, he just got off the Forerunner ship, so I doubt he'd be able to find any human installations with the tools necessary to upgrade him. The place is destroyed. No upgrades.

Now you see me...

If i recall correctly, in the book Fall OF Reach, wasn't there an underground high security Testing area for Dr. Hasley?


It very well could possibly be Mark VII armor.

About it being Kelly-

[SPOILERS!!!]
Doesn't it say in the first book that she's wearing a different shade/color of armor than the Chief?

That was on Reach, everyone's dead there. Dr. Hasley is aboard a Chiroptera-class vessel with Kelly on an unknown mission, so no.

Ok, yes it is the cheif according to everything. However, we dont know if bungie just wants it to be a secret that it isnt. Im agreeing that it is the cheif, however I wonder how he got the upgrades or if Bungie just really wanted to redesign him.

I'm not sure that it's even a redesign. If you read the Announcement story, you'll see something about some dude saying that it's not new armor, it's just battle-damaged. But then it goes on to say something about the gauntlets in the FAQ.

Just look at the differance in Halo 1 to Halo 2. Pretty differant. They are likley doing the same thing. Ya know, got his nails done, and a tan.
In Dead or Alive 4 he's a girl! (didnt come out right) Dont get mad at me!


thats because his armor changed, just as it might have agian

If you guys watch the video again you will notice chief looks a little bigger than he did in halo2, not in size in gerth. i think he has a new set of armor ( and im crossing my fingers to see like the mark 20 in halo3 like they talk about in the books)

also notice the color of his visor has changed from goldish to purplish.

we can only speculate when that trailor actually takes place in the game...this means there could be only seconds for him to "change" gear...or potentially years...nobody knows what happens between halo 2's ending and the beginning of that trailer

  • 05.09.2006 6:18 PM PDT

and i know years is a stretch but its just a point

I dont think a redesign would work in this case though. In the last one, yes...it worked out well because he was at earth and could get a whole new thing of armour. In this case however, I dont think bungie would alter their character without some reason reflecting it in the storyline. Still, who knows...he looks kick ass so its not like its a big deal....i just want clarification lol...

Maybe it is another spartan? It'd also explain why he/she was holding the assault rifle, which was the standard issue for Halo 1 and pre-Halo 1 era.

During the biggest part of First stike, MC was on the halo. The gauntlets were givin to one of the other Spartans, i know it was a male, i'm wanting to say Fred but i can't remember.

when you think about it the others should have been in H2 aswell.

Q

I also noticed Master Chief's gloves had changed. Does that mean it's Mjolnir Mark VII?
A

We haven't revealed that yet . Don't jump to any conclusions.

Thanks? If you are attempting to say that we are jumping to conclusions...we....errr...arent? We are....err...thinking of possibilities...conclusions are rock solid thoughts....yeah thats it...

Anyway, I think that it really is too early to tell...lets just wait and see what the furture brings. Personally, Id rather find out everything about the game when it launches, then learn about all its features now...It would make it such an awesome experience.

That war already mentioned several times.... And doesn't really say much, it doesn't confirm it and doesn't deny it, but since it specificly mentions it, and doesn't just say it's a new look for the character, they're definitely new gloves... As to what those new gloves are, one couldn't say... He could've gotten an arts and crafts lesson while he was sitting on the forerunner ship in slipspace and built some.... Or maybe he found some similar forerunner equipment (Guilty spark doesn't think anything of the armor other than a standard subset, human symbol de ja vu phenominon, theories that humans are subconsciously rebuilding forerunner civilization, etc.), we really haven't a clue.

There have been Characters (other Spartans) talked about outside of the HALO books, and in the game. In the Conversations of the Universe, a message goes to none other then '117'. It talks about the new amrour and how the writter of the letter, one 'Catherene' is jeulous and cant wait for her turn. Because only spartans can use the Mjnior suits,that mean, she is a spartan....so yeah....deal with it


And if it was of the other Spartans from our beloved books (Linda you so snpier owned) it might make sense why they are using an out-dated weapon. Maybe they hadn't gotten a chance to re-arm?

Unless they have developed a suit usable by normal humans, or more humans are undergoing testing to change. OR, perhaps there are the cloned spartans out there. Still, I forgot about that damn little pamphlet.


The AR wasnt an outdated weapon, it is just another weapon in the Human arsenal used in different situations then the SMG. Thats why I think we will see both the AR, SMG, and BR in the game. The AR, a single weild with Armour piercing rounds that shoot farther, the SMG a dual weilding weapon that fires with low acuracy, and the BR for long range burst fire.

Well, I believe you're forgetting about the presumed Spartan IIIs (there were 250 more candidates when the original set was selected, and there was a note that had Mendez's name and SIII... So something about that was assumed to have happened by most fans.)... Honestly, if we could see anything in Halo 3 one of the things I'd like featured is the Spartan 1.5s/original Spartans... Especiall original spartans considering they had hardcore training, just lacked surgeries and good genetics.
