Lets Boogie

So what we have scene in halo 4, the Master Chief has a MA5D http://www.halopedian.com/MA5D_Individual_Combat_Weapon_Syste m

and a BR85 http://www.halopedian.com/BR85_Heavy_Barrel_Service_Rifle in the 1st level.

However how did he get these new weapons? Shouldn't he still be caring a MA5C, which he did have on the Forward Unto Dawn? And there is a possibility there is still an armory left on that ship.

Now i think the crew members of the Infinity have these new weapons, and it would make sense for the MC to get said new weapons when he encounters the crew of the Infinity, but i don't see how he can before he even reaches the ship.

Thoughts?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It's all for gameplay reasons.

Unkown forger. Fear my laser face.
Hit me up

all the footage shown doesn't happen right away in the story. so It is probably from armory's

Infinity most definitely have these weapons, and it's likely that debris from other ships will have been beamed into the forerunner construct. Other than the, gameplay. I hope we'll get to see a cutscene of Chief dumping the old one's for the new, just to satisfy us a lil' bit more.

I don't think the gameplay demo we saw is in chronological order in the game, OP. I think he'll get it from somewhere convenient and logical, though.

Just like the new armor and thrusters, right?

Well in one of the game play trailers (while Chief was still aboard the "Forward Unto Dawn")Cortana said that she had made changes to the HUD. Its reasonable to think that's not all she's been up to since we've last seen the duo. Thats the first thing that comes to mind at least..

He had different armor between Halo 2 and 3. (This was a huge deal back in 2007 on the forums.) Do you consider that "pathetic" too?

Cortana did it. This has been stated numerous times. During Chief's years in suspension, Cortana modified all sorts of things, probably because she was bored and she wanted to do something productive.

That's the canon explanation, but the real explanation is the same as the explanation Bungie used in the transition between Halo 2 and 3.

IT IS AN ARTISTIC CHOICE.

Get over it.

Master Chief comes on the planet by the ship Forward Into Dawn, which is in half. This ship most probably contains these weapons.

Gameplay in the Halo-verse is never %100 canon. I'd say canon-wise he probably did just have the MA5C for that first part. But there would be no point in including it in the game.

Anyone notice we haven't seen the plasma rifle yet? I suppose that doesn't mean anything though because Bungie did the same before Reach. I just hope it's in the game.
