this could also explain why the gloves are different. he has bits and pieces of other spartan's armor.

No. Theres no reason to think thats what happened. He has new gloves.... wow. His armours messed up because hes been through halo 2 and some kind of battle. His new gloves are probably purely cosmetic or Bungie has a new feature that involves him having gloves shaped like that.

Keep on fraggin'

His armor changed between HCE and H2 as well without much of an explaination (he just got a new one -yeeha!). So I wouldn't think to much of the new gloves. As for the scratches, he'll probably get those during the H3 game. I hope in real-time, a bit like the character in the Fable-game got his scars. That'd be cool...

The trailer is a scene from a level in Halo 3, the master chief has already been through other levels. This isnt a crazy idea, its a fact.

Verbose, as usual.

I bet his armor is messed up because he is constantly shot at.
Just a guess.

I am...whimsical today.

The armor change in Halo 2 was explained. There was a whole cutscene about it being a Mk VI, just came up this morning. The gloves at least have been changed so much that it cannot be explained away as 'cosmetic'.
(stand by for a crappy drawing)

Mk VI gloves:
____________
[.O.............O.]
[....................]
[.........O.........]
[....................]
[.O.............O.]


New gloves:
___________
[........^.........]
[...../..O..\.....]
[.../..........\...]
[./.O......O..\.]
.UU---------UU.


...well I tried :) (grr damn space fixing)

Are you guys blind?

It's not just his gloves that are different. His whole armor has changed. Look at his boots, his hip, his helmet, and other parts of his armor. Thats not his old armor.

Jolly green, while I agree with the overall message in your post, I do have to say that your post was very hypocritical in it's point.

He is dumber than caboose, and makes no "sence"?

Hmmm.
