Nowhere in the trailer does it give any indication of how much time has elapsed since the end of Halo 2 and the events shown. So, in theory, a lot of stuff could have happened between H2 and the trailer, including new gloves and picking up an assault rifle. Invasions take time.
Besides, at the end of Halo 2, at least some of the MAC cannons were still online in orbit, since Hood was still alive on the Cairo.

Personally though i think it's just the new model that Bungie made for the 360. Time may tell.

I think its just the fact that this is the most detailed Chief we have seen so far. This means that its just some extra bumps and junk Bungie added in.

Subject: The Cheif's Gauntlets...what if it isnt the cheif?

Yes, I actually posted this last night, but the topic got deleted or rather "couldn't be found" 5 minutes after posting it. Not sure what happened to it. But in it I said what you said. In First Strike when the MC finds the other Spartans, he begins to upgrade their armor using parts that he had. I said that this spartan in the announcement trailer could be another spartan that is the lone survivor. The Chief maybe is missing from being on that covenant ship, and Cortana and everyone else must place their hopes in this spartans hands.

If it isn't the Chief, and the sparten in the trailer hasn't made contact with people for a long time, that might explain why they have an assult rifle and not a battle rifle. They haven't gotten to upgrade anything. But then that wouldn't explain why there armor looks upgraded sense Halo. I think it might be the Chief and his armors just been worn and the color's faded and scratched. Look at the invironment... ruined but gorgous!

I still think it's another spartan... and he/she didn't get another weapon.

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!
in dead or alive 4 its tex from red vs blue and i think it be cool to see or play as different sparten

john, fred, will, linda and kelly are alive after first strike,( fred will and linda with john, and kelly been kidnapped).

the AR will still be in uses, but it wouldnt be the spartans first choice, fred, will and linda all got the RB before john, and when the doc took kelly, she only took(or it only says) about SMG's

Mendez was training another bunch of spartan II, but you never know what happened with that, the SIII project is different from that, or Halsey would of known about it

the armor she gave will and the others was still in testing, and might look different when finished(which is what the chief got), so it could be fred, and he never got the finished produce, the tech might be trapped, but im sure she sent the plans to earth

he could have the AR because i doubt he would of had much of a choice on how to get to earth, and might have landed at an old military base which never got the BR, the Covenant would of destoryed all the big military bases, so he wouldn't of had much of a choice

I think it may be possible that the Forerunner ship is used as a key and destorys the surrounding plains of Africa to gain access to the Ark. The Cheif may be able to get to truth or not and then escape the vessel. [Maybe a chance to pilot a drop ship?] Then, He might make contact with Humans. Since only one MAC cannon was actually still online, yet taking heavy damage, Mankind has secured refuge locations on Earth and is defending them from the Covenant. In one of the installations closest to the Ark location, I think Master Cheif will gain new armour, and meet a large attack force. I think in the final version of that trailer The forunner ship will be used as a key to open the Ark meanwhile the Cheif walks up leading a large human force to take command of it.

The Covenant will need to begin to travel down through the installation, and I think they will meet ancient Forunner Technology that will attempt to halt them [sentinels and such.] That takes care of the Covenant team so during the time between the Covenant sending in more troops, the Humans will strike and dig deep into the structure. The flood will some how enter the picture and begin to attack the Covenant on the top of the structure. It will then be a three way battle to the center of the Ark.

Meanwhile, I think the Aribiter will attempt to aid the other Humans in the sector from both the Flood and the Covenant in an attempt to halt their advance into the Ark.

Who knows though...we shall see. Still, I like the time elapsement theory about the gauntlets and armour. It just wouldnt make sense to see him there in new armour after Halo 2 ends with him on the vessel.

did u mean the 2 spartan groups? mendez and SIII??
i think so, Halsey was there when the admiral said Mendez was going to go try the next group, and she would be involved in it, or atleast know about it

  • 05.10.2006 3:17 PM PDT

Those gauntlets aren't any different from the last game's. His gauntlets, just like the rest of his armor, are tinted from the desert-like surroundings. Also, if you look at his armor, it has the same bumps and such as before. The only difference is that the spikes near the knuckles are gone... which I can imagine is due to some strong punches.
I think it's safe to say this is Chief. He's using an MA5B Assault Rifle because that's probably the highest tech available to him at that time.

BEST GAME EVER!!!

It might be one of the spartans that are said to be dead and he/she still hasn't gotten a BR. All the ones from the books have gotten BRs.

all dead spartans were listed MIA, but only 1 really was, kelly, and she has smg's, the only spartanthan could be MIA other than kelly, is james, but hes missng half an arm, so its not him

  • 05.10.2006 5:02 PM PDT

I put on pants for this?

i dont think anyone mentioned this yet but the one general guy who was against the spartan program and in favor of his own couldve been in charge of helping to manufactor the chief's armor and could've been holding back because he didnt want him to succede, but when the covenant start to ravage the earth he gives chief some new additions to his suit because it could help save earth, hence the new gauntlets.

To the person who was talking about Dead or Alive 4: that wasn't Master Chief, that was an entirely different person with an entirely different back-story.

If it's a different spartan, then it could only be Fred.
In the FAQ, they say "chief", not "master chief". If i remember correctly, Fred has the rank of Chief. That, and in First Strike, he recieved a guantlet that improved his motion sensor.

Toast always lands butterside down.
Attach to back of cat always lands on feet......

Result:Antigravity!

Wouldn't the others have differerent colored armor so they can tell whos who?

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

lol the gauntlets ARE different. If you look at pictures of the MC from Halo 2, you'll notice his gauntlets have 5 circular shaped indentations on them...the gauntlets in the Halo 3 trailer have only 3 circular indentations...

there are 7 (not includeing the ones not combat suitable like "fhajad" i think)

kellys off with dr hasley
fred linda and will are some where
john was left in the forerunner ship last
and there were 2 who were to far away to gather at reach for the mission to board a covie craft and steal it.

the 2 spartans who were to far away to gather at reach for the mission to board a covie ship means it could be one of them

fred was the one who recieved the enhanced gloves

the spartans are almost identical while in there armor and only the spartans and dr hasley could tell them apart

it could be kelly seeing as how her and hasley left on a ship used by old rebells on the asteroid they had attacked over 25 years before. the rebels wouldnt of gotten BRs by the time they had arrived in there hybrid gettysberg/acendent justice ship. basicly the weopons on the ship would be ARs and other older weopons and the SMGs hasley took with her

all the mjolnir armor was the olive green brown color so who ever it is is covered in dust

it could be the Spartan III's that mendez went to train. its been a little bit so i dont remember the date when he left but the III's probly started at age 7 and i think mendez left 25?10? years before halo:CE making the III's at least as old as the II's were when they went on there first mission infiltrateing the rebel base they went back to in first strike.

or it could be the origenal spartans that who were made in 2507? i belive

and to the guy who talked bout the halo:ce manuel it said master chief was last of his kind is because when they fled reach the planet was being glassed while most of the spartans were on the surface an un survivable situation. and linda had her head leg and chest blown open stuffed in a cyro tube.

also spartan 483 or whatever form DoA 4 has nothing to do with halo being that the numbers went to 150?200? (its in first chapter of fall of reach) and sorry to be mean but tex from RvB is a double fictional character a fake character based on a fake game.

and i think some one wanted help from a "book god" well ive read the books 7 times each and are the only books i do book reports on and often open to a random page and read a little. also ive beat games many times and pay close attention to cinematic sequences. i more of a halo "trivia god"

i offer no opinion on who it is being that i know if it isnt master chief that bungie has said something in there explanation of the trailer that is so incredebly unnoticable but tells us exactly who it is like how they say chief with out the master like someone noted

also we know of bungies treachery in the past which means basicaly this trailer was meant for us to do just this argue and make 79 pages of topics in 2 days

ill let u guys suck that poorly written essay up and write some new stuff for me to correct, note, discredit, agree and add to

(id keep going but bed is looking very bed like)
