Halo

So today... I'm here to announce... Halo 4...

I don't really see a problem with the new suit myself, as long as there's an explanation for it.

[Space Sweeper]

He just got out of cryo though... so an explantion is impossible. 

[Shasvre]

Maybe it's not a cryo tube, but an advanced wardrobe?

But as other members pointed out, maybe it will happen in a different way in the game. If not, well that's just lazy...

[Huol]

Well his suit changed from halo 2 to 3 as well.
Just not as drastically.

[JaaayDee]

Who cares about Halo 4?  CE remake baby!

[SpaceMarines]

Oh, Silent Cartographer. How I loved you so.

[Remonster]

Its just a pre rendered trailer. I can name plenty of games that had pre-rendered announcement trailers where the character looks completely different in the end game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_cRZ24BVKM#noexternalembed An example of what I'd really like to finally be able to do as a Spartan. Maybe with a little less Matrix spinning, but still maneuverable and fast. And less Nolan North.

Agreed.

Hopefully its like what I said, a preview of things to come. Hopefully in game he will exit with the real suit, and then get that one.

And, today a friend mentioned that maybe the rocket boosters only work in zero-g. Not a bad theory, actually. One could then ask "why didn't he use it when he had the bomb in Halo 2"? but maybe he just didn't want to jostle the bomb and cause any unnecessary...explosions.

We'll see how it all turns out.

[DoomRulz]

Yes they were.

Geez. Halo has more problems continuity-wise than A/P.

But it would have been mentioned in the MJOLNIR specs before now. There really is 0 explantion for it.

Only one main one, and that would be the changing of the battle for Reach's events. Everything else ends up the same. Halo 4 is already showing signs of "f**k ups". Like the cryo wardrobe.

[Sharp Sticks]

I guess they tied up the Ascendant Justice guy in a closet.

Just because it was never mentioned before, doesn't mean it has to break canon. Things can be written in and not break canon. Happened before.

Like, Fall of Reach never mentioned Spartan IIIs or Brutes because they weren't invented yet, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be there (Reach showed us they were).

I'm still hesitant on the thrusters, but if they can be explained, then go for it. It would have been easier to leave them out, but they're there. Nothing I can do about it.

Brutes weren't integrated into our armor the entire time, and Reach was a battle spanning an entire planet.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I understand that, but all I'm saying is that they could easily write in that he just never had a use for the thrusters until then. Plus, for all we know, it could just be in the cutscene.

Oh, another thing. Did anyone else notice the thing at the end of the trailer looked a lot like the Portal form Halo 3? I noticed that after reading on Waypoint's forums.
