There really isn't any sort of reason or way he could, right?

I've seen theories of how it happened, bah. I'm pretty sure the Cryo tube doesn't swap your armor for you.

This :/ but if you want the short version, no one knows.

Well, I'm no expert, but isn't it theoretically possible for Cortana to have used some type of machinery on Forward Unto Dawn to modify or create new armor? I feel like I've seen someone else say this before. However, you do seem to be right, he couldn't have done it (in fact I doubt he could even take off his armor by himself) but it does seem theoretically possible for Cortana to have done it.

his new armor is just his old, beat into a new shape by flying street cones.

According to what I have heard when in cryo-stasis the armor will upgrade itself something to do with the mechanics of the armor.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Perhaps it's just Mk VI armor with a few modifications, necessary since MC is spending so much time in cryo. His cod piece is missing maybe because he needs catheterization.

Just a theory. Probably not right.

They said there is a canonical reason to the armor change. It's clear there is still damage so it's not a new set of armor, but rather his old armor modified.

You also have to figure by this point Cortana has enormous amounts of Covenant and Forerunner data, meaning that the suit could be ver highly advanced technologically.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

True, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were nanobots aboard the Dawn all along, nanobots that flowed through pipes from a secret ONI canister, entering Chiefs cryo chamber and changing his armour whilst he was a sleep. ...
That wouldn't make any sense though, would it? I'd see it as no more than a cheap solution, just like how Kojima explained everything in MGS4.

Furthermore: if it's just a redesign, why not wait until MC recieves a new suit, a Mk VI or VII? The design would be kind of wasted otherwise, wouldn't it?

I know H4 is supposed to break free from it's current universe (Earth, The Covenant, etc) and enter the Forerunner VS Precursor universe, but I'm having a hard time being convinced that thre won't be any involvement from the UNSC. There will after all be Warthogs in the game, and probably human weapons.

The human equipment throughout the game can't be solely from the Dawn, especially concidering it being blown up in the teaser, unless they retcon the teaser...
So either a human ship arrives to aid MC, or all human equipment is buildt by Forerunner or ancient human machines, from blueprints provided by Cortana.

Those are my theories. Still hope they'll toss away the Mjolnir and make room for a Combat Skin XII though...

According to Frankie, there is a story behind it. Apparently, (so I hear) this isn't the first time the chief left the cryo. For me, I think that the trailer just showcased the new armor to show the players what's in store in the Halo 4 campaign. Just because it's in the trailer doesn't mean it's gonna start exactly like that.

Wasn't the UNSC Infinity seen in the concept art?

The ship that had Spartan IV's and Forerunner tech on it?

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.
