So the Master Chief has new armor. Im sure in some random cut scene we'll see how he got his new dud's, but I was just wondering, since I did not read the books what some of your input might be on this fact. Shed some light!

It could be either upgrades to his armor, or completely new armor. Either way, it means that Bungie can do whatever they want for the health system in Halo 3, since this is basically the perfect excuse for it

It's not new armor.

Did the Halcyon Class Cruisers get an upgrade because the had a flashing light on them in Halo 2? No, simply greater detail.

I agree its far from new armor its the same as halo 2...its just it may have a few new parts...all i am hopeing for in the suit in halo 3 is the health system i want a new better one maybe one thats a mix of halo one and 2...u can have a heath bar and an shield bar and like the shield bar given some time the health bar refills also..cause hell the suit should have the abality to heal him dont u think..* a large reason for this is the simple fact that the flood and the aliens are on earth and MC is out numbered 1000 to 1 so he health system would help out loads*..

Yeah, doubt its new armor. I mean, he's only had his armor for a few days or so. It would take longer than that to get new armor. Upgrades? possible.

He definately has new gauntlets...he goes from having 5 dots to having 3 due to increased detail?? I dont think so. Like u are saying maybe the only new thing is the gauntlets and arm pieces....only time and bungie will tell

New armor? That's like saying the Assault Rifle doesn't have the same function. People really learn to analyze things.

Its the same armor. IT has a different color because of all the damage it has taken. I doubt the suit itself will have any upgrades because it was brand new just a few days earlier.Just shinier and more detailed.

you were talking about the gloves that were different from Halo 2.

Remember a few points.

1. Lord Hood was giving the Covenant one hell of a fight at the end of Halo 2.
2. The time between Halo 2 and Halo 3 is unknown. It could be weeks or months between the two (unearthing a dig site that wide takes time).
3. Bungie loves to use the number seven. This is another chance to do so.

Here are three distinct possibilities.

1. Kelly-087 returns with a copy of the MJOLNIR Mark VII some time within the unknown time period between Halo 2 and Halo 3 and gives it to the Master Chief. An upgrade by Earth's engineers is highly unlikely.

2. It is the class 12 armor that 343 Guilty Spark mentioned in Halo 1 as an effective suit to combat the flood.

3. It is the same suit, which is highly unlikely given the redesigns.

Think of these ideas before you post.

It could be, his breastplate moves. I dont think it did in HALO 2.
