It's NOT a different suit of armor. I'm sure of it.
The visor is using realtime reflections, whereas in Halo 2, it used cubemaps.
The model has changed quite a bit. The basic structure is still there, but it looks as though most of the bump maps were replaced and modeled. The upper torso moves differently from the Halo 2 version, and there are a few very, very slight differences that I noticed(scratches are completely gone on most of the armor, the dents in the gloves were different, and the rubber/allow was different).
If anything, it could be a completely different Spartan. That would explain the scratches in the armor. That, or they just though it would look better this way. lol
