the master chief , somewhere in between the end of Halo 2 and the begining of the Halo 3 trailer, has recieved upgrades to these sections of the mark 6 MJOLNIR armor.

1. glove plates. originaly had 5 holes. now they have three.

2. boots. there were originaly 5 holes. there are now four. ( three plus four is seven , could be something)

3. shoulder. looks considerably different. less grooves and lines.

4. Thigh armor. more compact. less ridges and grooves.

this could mean that he is wearing the mark 7, the 6.5, or quite possibly, the mark 1337.2.

Yeah, the company that made the Mark VI armor spent bazillions of dollars to make a new MJOLNIR model for the one spartan left. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

lol, i was about to quote you to disagree and realized it was you, AGAIN, if you have nothing to contribute to the discussion dont post, your sarcasm isnt needed.

Anyways back on topic, if you were to look at the trailer the chiefs armor is different, most noticable is the new / different gloves, i think BUngie said in an undate that they would reveal it later or something, it might be in the Halo 3 FAQs section

well lets not get carried away, no one knows for fact that that "batch" of spartans was completed......

we know that there are actually EIGHT remaining spartans

Fred, Will, Linda, Kelly, and John (MC) including 3 others that were too far away on duty to be recalled for the mission to capture a covenant Heirarch

Lets not forget this is a new level of graphics and so things might look different because their are more details just cause you can notice them doesnt mean their wernt there before.

I doubt the new graphics changed the amount of holes, but I do think they might have something to do with the new tint of color.
