Confound these ponies, they drive me to insomnia.

Also, Applejack ftw.

Does anybody know why the hell Mark V ain't in Halo 4? Better yet, why the Prologue all but retconned V and VI out of existence?

Love the game, but that's really bothering me.

For those who wish to contact me on Xbox LIVE, my main account is "The 7th Taco", and the one linked with my profile here is only a backup.

I think they chose it to be that way so new players don't really get confused about who Master Chief is and what he (His armor) looks like.

I loved it too, it's a 10/10 game, but that does bother me as well.

The armour in the prologue and Chief's armour IS mark VI.

At least, we're supposed to believe that it's the same armour we left Chief with... That's one of my complaints about this game.

The prologue is not meant to be taken as hard canon. Mark V and VI are STILL VERY MUCH CANON.

Why mark V isn't in halo 4 is a very easy reason. It's out of date. Mark VI is old stuff, it's the finale version of Gen1.

Chief's armor in campaign is a heavily modified version of mark VI, done so by nano-bots on forward unto dawn.

Halo 2-3 Mark VI is still canon 100%.

The most uninteresting man in the world.

What was Cortana doing to John while he was asleep? O.O

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

Its just a visual representation of the spartans. Not everyone playing the game knows what chief looked like in CE and they might have gotten confused over the change of appearance.

In the "Scanned" trailer they had for Halo 4, they showed Chief put on the Mark V armor, I think it was just lazy CGI guys being lazy IMO.
