WHY DID THEY ADD THOSE GOD-DAMNED ARMOUR THRUSTERS.
In the intro video with the questionable armour appearance the spartans all have thrusters. So now the atmospheric entry scene with the pelican in FoR is either non-canon or the spartan IIs are fools because, why fall from space if you can just puff your inbuilt* thruster/jet/re-entry pack?! Oh, and Halo 3.)
*check the video, no-one is wearing a re-entry/thruster/jet pack What makes you think that their little EVA thrusters could possibly have been of use for a fall of that speed and height? That's like shooting a bird out of a cannon straight at a brick wall and asking "why didn't it just flap its wings"? This isn't even physics, it's just common sense. The small thrusters they have are clearly only good for light EVA emergencies; what makes you think they could pack enough fuel for those things to sustain extended burn, or that the armor's reactor is designed for that?
OT: Artistic license allowed 343i to redesign the MK VI for the visual overhaul that came with the new graphical capabilities. Also, making and rendering these models takes time and money, so IMO it's perfectly fine for them to use the MK VI in those flashbacks (which should have been MK IV). It got the point across and looked great. I would have preferred MK IV, of course, but I try not to be a whiny fan. That was a fantastic scene, and I'm not going to -blam!- all over it because the armor is wrong.
