The visor actually kinda annoyed me. It looks plasticy and cheep.

He did slim down a bit from Halo 1 to Halo 2, so maybe he put on a few pounds again for Halo 3.

Actually, I was thinking they'd go all "Desert Brigade" on us.. Maybe make it more TAN, since he's waging war in the desert now. It would make sense, a quick little "body spray".

there are jungles and rainforest in Africa too, MC may have gotten a quick tune-up of found some new parts just like in first strike where they find updated gear in the locker and just switch 'em out.

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

Jesus loves you, even if you don't believe it.

Hmmm, smooth visor huh?! Ya know, now that makes my helmet a bit more accurate and people can't complain that its smooth unlike in Halo 2.. woot!

Also, Yep, now I have to make new armor for my gloves. Or, maybe, since I now have a whole year to work on it, I could start on version 2.0 of my armor. I have learned many new tricks and with all these juicy high res imagery, I have all the reference I could ask for.
Of course, if I have time again, I left EA and I am now searching for a REAL job in the industry.. I wish someone had told me that game testing was for stoners ¬_¬ (sigh)

Oh well, N-SPACE is down the street. If they don't have a job for me there, version 2.0 is a go!

the armor is different, if u look at his chest armour it is thicker, yet not as long and although his visor is shinier, i think the whole helmet is new cuase the way the whole faceplate/chin guard things are, they are more streamlined and greek looking. i believe its a mark VII, but this is bungie we're talking about here, they change stuff all the time and are very .... misleading at times.

I personally think that would be sweet, to introduce some of the lost Spartans into the game.

Its like holding onto an electric fence, and complaining that it hurts, yet you still do it. See the stupidity now?

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.



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.


They just issued a new suit, how would they suddenly come up with a new one that quickly? there is no feasable reason for the halo storyline to take THAT Longe of a timespan...

I'ma beam them up.

OMFG the "doctor lady" has a name you know. It's Doctor Catherine Halsey. And ya she does make minor improvments to John's(Master Chief) armor.

  • 05.09.2006 10:19 PM PDT

I'ma beam them up.

OMFG they aren't fighting in the desert. They are fighting on a part of Africa that has a lot of sand, mountains, and other crap. Just because there is a lot of sand doesn't make a place a DESERT. A beach has tons of sand yet you don't call that a desert. A park has sand and you don't call that a DESERT. I'm not joking, why don't you guess go to school and actually get an education before playing games like the Halo series and making judgements that aren't even correct.

Ok, the Master Chief doesn't get fitted for a new armor system, even though it looks like there was time inbetween the end of Halo2 and the start of Halo3. Master Chief was covered in dust, sand, and dirt which made him look like he got new armor. He may have gotten a new system upgrade like an updated HUD, a faster shield generator, and maybe stronger armor but he didn't get a complete armor refit.

I remember the announcement video for Halo 2 had a different looking Master Chief than what turned out in the game. The visor was too dark in the announcement.

you have to remember, MC has gone through a crapload of battles with his armor, which could explain for the color change of his visor and suit. if you look closely at it, it is still tinted gold, but just very slightly, and the reflections of the enviroment cover up most of it. you can see the scars on his armor in the trailer as well.

Remember this is just the trailer not acuallal gameplay so not all of this is here.
some of you think its a different visor its not if you look closly, you can see its the exact same one its just got worn down is all.

Jesus loves you, even if you don't believe it.

DUH!!
Could we all get out of the game and jump back to reality please?
You folks act like you don't know better. There's a real reason why the suit looks different, and has more details..
It has more friggin polygons!
Anyone remember when they said the Mk VI had less polygons than the previous suit? Guess what? You loose a lot of details that were at some point in the original concept. Sure they could've had that much more detail in H2, but did you want everything else looking like a PS2 game?

This suit simply has more of the details that were in the original design and not possible in H2. Remember the suit in the H2 trailer in theaters? That sucker being rendered, was so smoothed that you could see artifacts in some of the more complex corners.. In H2 everything was small, polys, texture sizes.. All this changes when you have so much more available processing power. Who knows, it could actually be a variation of an original model that was reduced for performance reasons in H2.

Hopefully most of you knew this already ;Þ

Just some good pics to compare halo 2 body armor and halo 3 body armor.

There are some subtle differences between the middle of the chest plate, hand cover armor, new vent thing on the visor, black fabric under the armor is much more pleeted in the halo 3 version, and just all around small subtle cahnges.

Actually it looked perfect in that video.. Everything reflected on the visor's surface. One of the MANY details from the announcement video that was CUT from the finished game.

a quote from after the Presentation.
"The trailer is set in the African desert, and it was taken from roughly a third of the way through the game"
