Many people including me realized that the suit is different, the gloves, boots, part of his helmet ! Well, if they changed the suit, why would they just change part of it, I think the reason is mabye some of the suit got damaged in a battle or something, so they just changed certain things, its possible, what do you think ?

Well in the book I think it was Sam that got shot in his side and it made a big hole in his side. Tehn he stayed there and cover the spartans back as they escaped. But anyway, yes, plasma get damage the armor if there is no shields left !

If you actually read the weekly update you would know why its different. It DID get damaged, and it DID get worn out. Give the MC a break, he has to go fighting all around the universe with one suit of armour, you think its gonna stay perfectly green and unscratchd forever. O and also remebr wat happened 2 the armour after Halo1. They said in the 1st lvl of H2 that is was damaged beyond all repair.

but look at his glowes, it only has 3 holes and in halo 2 theres 5, plus, its like a triangle on the top of his hand rather then just a box, check it out !

[22:08] [JohnHoward:] The Halo 1 pistol wasn't a mistake...
[22:08] [JohnHoward:] It was also intended to be the ultimate hold out weapon...
[22:09] [JohnHoward:] I always believe that balance is about giving each weapon / ability / whatever it's own perfect situation.

I got this from the Official Bungie Halo 3 FAQ.

"Q: I also noticed Master Chief's gloves had changed. Does that mean it's Mjolnir Mark VII?"

"A: We haven't revealed that yet . Don't jump to any conclusions."

So.. don't jump to any conclusins :)

*EDIT*

Also, in the books, spartans received small "Upgrades" for their armor, such as enhanced sheilding, motion trackers, and air-recyclers. One such Item was an upgrade-replacement gauntlet, so don't jump the gun and think he's wearing a new suit.

Everyone arguing and trying to figure out the armour! Read my above post! and Read the weekly update! They tell you what happened.

Oh and for anyone trying to think of any other theory, think about this. When did the MC get time to have new custom made armour, he just flew a forerunner ship to earth to find the arc and stop the detonation of the rings, you think he has time to stp off for some new armour and an ice cream!

First of, if the suit got damaged it really dangourus for the spartan because it could melfunction and allow for the human inside not too be able to move. I didn't say that the battle stopped to he could change ! mabye you should read my first post !

The Armor is damaged, someone else said, If you watch the first level of Halo 2. It says everything was damaged and it was Extremely expensive to buy the armor. There is no armor on Earth, and he went straight there.

  • 05.11.2006 1:18 PM PDT

The gloves and visor are different. If you look it now has a black bit on the nose area which was not there before. Also the coulour may also be the sand around him reflecting.

ok think about it ppl!

The covanent bomb the planets they capture to hell! And thats wat they've done to earth! Thats why everythings destoryed! And like a desert!

So i think there was some survivers and MC has gone to them and they have re sprayed his suit ot upgraded his suit!

thats my theory to this questiion

well, of course I read the info that they have given for halo 3. IM not stupid, IM just trying to find out why the suit has changed. And I understand that they don't have time to change the hole thing, that is why its only changed in certain spots, mabye were it got damamged. For example, John might of got shot in the hand or something !

"Asked about the battered state of the Chief's armor, Marcus ventured, "The Chief is shown as warrior who has seen horrific battle – and it shows. The Earth is dry, barren, ravaged by the Covenant."

Grim stuff, but then things were grim at the end of Halo 2 when we left the Chief and the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance. A cliffhanger about which we received over twenty emails... cough."

ohh the reason it's a desert is because it is in the arid zone in africa, the armor is damaged cause of a few possible reasons... new video card capabilites and software refiniments allow the inclusion of damage to his armor, or seeing that he just went through one hell of a fight just to get back to earth, and then the trailer part may be a ways into the game would suggest yes he did take a s^%t kicking and his armor was damaged... or the most likely... it looks cool and bungie wants us salivating over halo 3.... sluuurp.. sheesh it has started


anything can be possible in this version... with triple core processor and a hellu of alot more ram/video memory... they can now add in things we only dreamed of.... look at F.E.A.R... and compare it to duke nukem.... the technology is now advanced enough for even more interactive, destructable enviorments.... and well his armor is part of the enviornment


would be cool for extended armor damage, gets hit with a plasma bolt and scorch mark remains, hit with beam rifle and a scuff or gouge is placed in the armor..
