The armour the Master Chief is wearing lookings more than upgraded to me, in fact I think it's a completely new amour when you compare it to the old one.

Comparison

Your thoughts?

Yes, but it still could just be an improvement for the 360. It is a possibility.

Who knows. Maybe it is a +5 magic power glove that boosts your Charisma by 12 points? We may never know. Or we may know some obscure time in 2007.

The gloves are the only thing that would suggest an upgrade, but Halo CE to Halo 2 was pretty drastic, so I doubt they'd go so so if it was entirely new... And I can't see any way they could stick in "oh here chief new gloves within a day or so." Also... Remember http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v439/SCGhost05/desrt.jpg this picture? The armors damaged, like bungie keeps referencing in the trailer, and it's in the dessert with the same brownish tint as Halo 3's version, and it's titled "halo 2 concept art." So combine that with the fact that three levels were cut from hal 2 (were they end levels? I'm not entirely certain) and it's plausible that it's a simple upgrade. I mean, the armor in the picture is exactly the same except for the scrapes, leading me to beleive again, it's just a graphics upgrade. You know I don't htink that was much of a point... Meh...

I personally like my +5 Gloves theory.

It's definately upgraded or new. Graphics can't explain some of the differences. The number of dots on the gauntlets and boots are different, and there's a black attachment on the Chief's helmet. I don't think when Bungie was redesigning the suit for Halo 3 they made a mistake like that.
