If you watch the video carfully, the part where the artifact/ ark is opening up you should notice that the chief looks a little thicker or wider even on my HDTV it looks the same cuz i thought it was just my computer. plus his visor is now a more purple color rather than orange/gold. do you think there has been an armor change because i sure do.

yeah but its still not as gold, not even as close, as it was in halo 2

During what time in the timeline does he have time to get outfitted with a better version of his MJOLNIR armour?

He doesn't.

These effects you are seeing come from the new engine Bungie is using. It takes the enviroment around the Chief and adds it to his armour. Dust, lighting from the lightning, Covenant ships, and Forerunner structure are all taken into his armour when it is displayed.

NO it's not Mark VII and don't even start. When Halo 2 began the Chief was issued the new Mak VI armor that was developed before the Fall of Reach. Since Songnim now knows that there is only one Spartan left if would be completely pointless to develop a new suit, end of story.

You'll notice also a little bit more armor on his gloves. And it looks like a new littl peice down in the front of his helmet right in front of the visor.

You'll see it here.

And also on a side note, don't his arms look alot bigger?

uh, how do you know how much time there has been between the end of hal2 and this trailor? obviously its been a while if hes no longer on the covenant ship plus the covenant have discovered the ark. theres enough time for him to have been outfitted with new armour just as in halo2.

first of all, there are more than one spartan left, try around 5. and secondly, why would it be pointless to develop improved armour for the savior of the human race, hm, maybe thats just not important i guess.

He's wider because of the HD trailer's widescreen effect. It's been made a bit too wide.

I put on pants for this?

along with what mred432 said it also says in one of the halo books that the one doctor lady gave improvents to the surviving spartans and master chief could have done the same thing sometime early in the game before the screenshot was taken.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I'm pretty sure it's the same armor but they may have replaced some parts that got wear and tear from Halo 2, but they may not even have had the time for that. Since he will be on Earth now, I suspect that while at a Human base they give him a new coat of desert camo paint, and possibly a newer visor. New HUD anyone?

  • 05.09.2006 7:54 PM PDT

How many times have I told you guys I don't want no horsin' around on the airplane!

I think small adjustments could have been made. Perhaps a brand new suit, just reproduced, with minor changes like new gloves and helmet. Nothing like the complete overhaul from Halo 1 to 2.

only one Spartan left

Wrong. If yo uread the books (which Bungie approved for their story before them being released), you'd know that there are more multiple Spartans left along with the MC. I believe 2 were with him, and one was in Space with Dr Halsey, so that makes 4 including our John.

My guess is that the Spartans seperated when they get to Earth, because the Humans need to spread their forces...Spartans being their best ground troops wouldn't do much good all bunched up so too many spaces are open for attack..

I can't wait to play the game =D

do you think you're the only one who has read the books? unless you own the halo bible no one knows for sure. but your idea is irrational. why wouldnt they want to help master chief
