After watching the trailer about 4,338,184 times, I realized that the spartan in the trailer had tan armor...
I wonder if that was Will, Fred, or Lynda from the novels. Anyone else think this? Speak up.

Doubt it, otherwise why would Cortana even be talking?

"Hm, it's pretty dusty out here in the desert. Sure hope my armor doesn't get dusty."

  • 05.10.2006 4:36 PM PDT

Bungie said it was master cheif. His armor is tan because:

-its wartorn
-dust
-faded? melted? chipped?
-it still has a greenish tint.

Im still not for sure if it is him, mainly because he doesn't say a single word, which would let us know it's him and im pretty sure if you see a giant structure like that in the ground shooting out a giant white light, your going to say something.

No, actually it was Santa Clause.

And isn't that strange? Tan armor! IN THE DESERT who would have guessed? OMFG OMFG LOOK! IT'S ANOTHER SPARTAN


Yes that was Master Chief. As for the color of his armor, as I (and dozen or so other people have said,including mike), hes in the desert, you do know there is dirt in the desert don't you?

Read the Halo 3 FAQ. When asked "What characters are coming back?" Bungie responds "Cortana, the PROTAGONIST and some banshee pilots"
They never say "Master Chief", "Spartan 117", or anything else....

First time ive ever posted, and it looks like im going to be posting more. People are coming up with theroies that... just dont make sense!

Why would HALO 3 NOT have Master Chief as the main character/spartan? I know there are other Spartans but... COME ON PEOPLE, use your brains, you're all smarter than that... Just look on this web site! The developers themselves mention MC EVERYWHERE

And its NOT new armor! Where would he get new armor? Earth has been CONQUERED, and if it was Forerunner armor, I think there would be bigger differences. Its just war torn, desert scared armor... I know this all sounds snide, and I dont mean to be, but stop making stuff up!

But thats just my opinion, i could be wrong

I'm not making stuff up... actually, I never said it wasn't master cheif. I'm just putting ideas out there. It's really easy to disagree with some1 on forums...

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

After being what he's been through, and what it looks like he's been through, I bet it will still be perfectly green! And.
In fact, it's the stuff it doesn't contain that gives it a strange kind of context. You can see how detailed the Chief is, but that detail applies to our other, unseen, unrevealed characters, vehicles, environment and so on. There's no AI visible in the demo, no multiplayer, and...
Taken from the update.

For those of you who think it's not Masterchief, think again. Look at the picture on the left, the title. It doesn't take a genius to find this...

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Well, -blam!- happens when you're fighting for days non-stop.

Try reading the newsposts geniuses.

They Clearly state its "Spartan 117" "John" "MC" "MCPO"

Whatever you wish to call him.

Just thought of this, but maybe so that they can continue on with master chief's story in HALO 4... i know that sounds kinda dumb and it doesn't make sense with the knowledge we got from the end of halo 2, but in one way or another it is sensible.

Well Bungie hasn't officially announced if the MC has the new MJOLINR armor or not, so perhaps that is the new armor (mark-whatever the hell we are at now)?

Just a thought.

hmmm come to think of it this spartan didn't even talk. But I seriously doubt that that wasn't MC.

"It is the Chief, back on a devastated and Covenant controlled Earth, standing over the excavation of a structure buried in the crust of our own planet that is the meat of our demo."
They said it in the update. nuff said
