Everyone keeps saying that there might be a new (or old) sparatan that chief is communicating with. A good question to ask is that wouldnt if it was an old sparatan have the old armor not the new one? And if you look closley at chief there is the sunlight reflecting off his green armor giving him a "tan" look (kinda, just look at the top of this fourm page and look at the pic), but maybe not. And... he could have crashed in that ship and could have gotten some dirt stuck to him (just a theroie). My last opinion is that "maybe" when he was on that ship, maybe the covenate was hiding a special sparatan armor they designed them selves to try to create somthing to get rid of chief, and chief tryed it on for a test ride. And also, chiefs visor in halo 2 was golden like and in halo 3 it is not, but maybe its just bungie editing his suit around.Those are my theroies, but remember, they are just theroies.

I think his armor is brown because it is so scratched and battered that alot of the green on the armor has been flaked of or dulled so that is why it is brown looking

ok i gotta say this one more time.. the idea that its brown due to dirt or fading is *extremely* implausible... last time i checked sand dosent stick to titanium to make it brown and i highly doubt that you could get that dirty that it would be like cemented on (if it was dirt the armor wouldnt have the light reflective sheen it does) and as for the sun doing it... if the paint on cars that have been driven in africa for years dont fade somehow i think a hightech titanium steel alloyed super metal mech suit with its own built in hydrostatic insulating gel ,space suit function and energyshield would fade.

dr dumbass first of his armor isnt titanium it is a specially designed CRYSTALLINE Alloy which could possibly mean that it has faded over time the old ones did it even says so in one of the books as i recall

This cut scene probably takes place later on in the game after a few levels...so if the game is going to be as epic as it should...he should have a few scratches on his armor.

its not brown its dark green. Its just look like a different color because of the advanced lighting system and the environment around him.

Goign back to the top...if the Covenant were making armour for someone to use to get RId of the chief and he tried it on...why would they make it for a human to fit into? Wouldn't it be...idunno elite shaped?

hmm... good point. Maybe they stole it from the forerunners ruins and were in the process of super enhancing it, but mc got it before they could re-shape it...

That is definitely a different spartan... just look at the Vizor! Its wider than H2's... it could be an even newer version of the suit.

Wow, Seriously..If his Armor was Green why would it be green? if his armor was Yellow why would it be yellow?

I do agree that there could be other sparatans. PLUS, maybe that armor the covie was making didnt HAVE to have anyone using it and it had a cpu, and chief found a way to get it and fit.

I can't believe i have to say this for the Fourth time. Okay, go to www.xbox.com, then click the H3 picture, then read the Halo 3 article- somewhere in there it will say this "and out from the haze walked the most Realistic looking MASTER CHIEF ever"

Is that enough proof?
