But why bring back old tech when ONI is pulling new tech out of its ass? E.g Spartan IV's, reverse engineered Forerunner Slipspace drive in UNSC Infinity, etc.


We'll see when the game comes out if the bother giving an in-canon reason.

What if they remove Purple from the armor colors?

I dunno man.... I see a lot of purple in there already. I'm fairly sure Frank didn't mean that to be taken literally.

The Ghosts look more like blue to me...

But seriously let's not use this. It's too subjective for people to agree upon.

It was also, as I said already, never confirmed by Frankie. A Kotaku reporter said it and passed it off as a 343i employee, convincing apparently everyone.

Because they've only reverse engineered a limited amount of the new technology, meant for large scale constructs and prototypes.

Honest question: do you just like complaining about everything with the lable Halo 4 on it?

I complain about the stuff I have issue with. The things I don't have issue with, I don't complain about. You don't see me -blam!-ing about the Scorpion tank looking exactly the same do you?

Still, for them to reverse engineer Forerunner tech means two things: A, they did it really damn quick considering how look it took them to do it with a Jackal shield gauntlet.
or B: ONI somehow has had a Forerunner ship hidden away for many years. Which doesn't make sense.

Edit: I'm curious, I've never heard anything about the "No purple" line NOT being from Frankie. So... care to back that up?

Banshee is largely unchanged because the guy who made the Reach Banshee is apparently working on the H4 Banshee.

I think this was answered in a weekly bulletin.

One of the keys in figuring this out is the brief showing of Covenant in the H4 demo. Notice the Jackal that is with the Elite. No known jackals ever joined the Separatists, which means every jackal and elite were on an opposite sides of the war. This means more than likely this is a splinter group or even an outcast group that is stuck, possibly never having even heard of the Separatists. It certainly would explain the more cut-down look of the elites.

Then again, Jackals are mercenaries, and possibly just being payed to work with elites again, but I find that to be a very unconvincing reason.

Ghost is blue, look at the Waypoint renders, 100% confirmed.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

I'm fine as long as Covenant ships are still purple inside :P

It was always my theory that Covenant tech was purple because from an Elite's perspective, that is the colour of blood. Thus, blood coloured ships are pretty intimidating.

Imagine being in a crimson red space, or being attacked by a blood red aircraft. As a human it would be kind of freaky.
