I don't think the armor that Master Chief is wearing in the Halo 3 Announcement Trailer is MJOLNIR Marl VI. It clearly seems to have different parts and style. Like that left hand glove piece that people keep talking about.

This is the latest wallpaper posted today: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/Halo3/wallpapers/h3_e 32006_Announce_1024.jpg

Now that glove piece is NOT on the MJOLNIR Mark VI we know of in Halo 2.

Here's a link to a render for Halo 2 that clearly shows John 177's left arm, it is NOT the same as in the trailer : http://www.bungie.net/SlideShow.aspx?Path=/games/Halo2&S lideshow=Renders&Slide=9

If you look closely on the chest part and other parts and compare them to Halo 2's armor, they are different. Plus! Its not even green! Its light brown!! My conclusion to this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so, is that this is NOT MJOLNIR Mark VI. What could it be?
Here are some of my guesses:
1)MJOLNIR Mark VII: Maybe ONI is still around, somewhere hidden and managed to make a new armor.

2)Perhaps its MJOLNIR Mark V/VI Version 2!!!!! What is the color of the other Spartans armors? What if Dr. Halsey came back from her trip with Kelly? Frankie did go through the trouble of mentioning the other spartans names in thursday's top story to eliminate the theories that the spartan in the trailer wasn't John 117, that could mean something. Maybe Dr.Halsey modified the armor, or perhaps MC is actually wearing an upgraded Mark V that another spartan had.
But Dr.Halsey and the other spartans technically don't exist in the games or arent mentioned for reasons unknown. MC has been deemed to be the sole survivor of the "super human cyborgs" since the first game. But I'm taking my thoughts from the books, which were written after the Halo:CE was released. So this thoery isn't very plausible but w/e.

3)The arm piece is but a special unknown extension we know nothing of, yet.. The armor could be accepted as being Mark VI with some upgrades, it does resemble it.

Anyway, I felt like making a new thread about this to try and organise things. Sorry if this has been repeated. But anyway those are my current thoughts about all of this, I decided to share them with you.
Any thoughts?

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

My thoughts are:

x(box) 360 > x(box) 1
3 x(box) x 4.365 = 384,000,000 Pol/s > 1 x(box).
More Pol/s = Gr8r D(Tails) 4 MC
MC + 360 + Pol/s + Gr8 D(Tails) = You are sad for not expecting MC in H3 to look better than MC in H2.

Seriously dude, thats like complaining that car tires in video games are round instead of 8-sided... You're so missing the point that's not even funny.

"OMG, Bungie used some of the 360's power and added a few details.."

Isn't that the whole point of more power?? :)

His arm pieces are simply broken away, and his color is like that likely due to the prolonged exposure to rough fighting, rust, and the sand.

I think you messed up about here: More Pol/s = Gr8r D(Tails) 4 MC it should be D[tails]. Don't worry...everyone makes mistakes...

Well, I noticed how everyone was talking about how is gloves are different, its not just his gloves, his Helmet is a bit different, not too much, but it is alot more detailed which could just be the graphics... but none the less, looks a bit different to me, his armor on his upper part of his legs is designed different and so is the part of armor covering his biceps... The rest is pretty much the same I believe... anyways, on with my theory... after reading the "Clones and Lies Theory" thread (http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=6862115) I thought about it, and Bungie did say that this cut scene is from about 1/3 into the game... SO, IF they have finally decided to incorperate some of the books into the game, Maybe Dr. Helsey did go with Kelly to where the "hidden spartans" are... and then got a hold of MC and meets up with him, giving him the lastest upgrades in the Mjolnir Armor... If you dont get where Im coming from read the thread "Clones and Lies..." I gave the link above, after you read that, I think you might have an Idea of where Im comming from...

When did the MC have time to change suits? He just got off the ship on his way back to earth
