I guess the new suit makes him look more like a guy in a suit rather than a robot. He can also relax in his UNSC spandex dreaming about those Cortana curves while sipping a hot chocolate and staring into the vastness of space.
Does anyone get the feeling Master Chief is going to have some force like powers in the new game after the Nutcracker women did her space magic ?
Just a line in Thursday War alluding to nano upgrades; although you'd think she would have repaired that damage on his chest :pOriginally Posted by Prinz Eugn
Wasn't there speculation before the game came out that there was some nano-tech in the suit that could let it upgrade itself? It also made sense to me that Cortana could design/implement it being bored as shit floating in space.
I personally like the new design, but I guess they didn't really explain some of the changes going from 2 to 3; although this time it was a bit more extreme I suppose. Video game reasons.
Pretty much this. I like a few elements of the new armor, particularly the touch of using the Braille, but it was an unnecessary visual change not supported by the story.I hated the fact they changed it at all. Just more of 343 wanting to put their stamp on everything. It wasn't even explained in the story, and they basically retconned it because they showed it as damaged and in Halsey's starting cutscene, he's wearing it fighting a Brute.
Would have been smarter to keep his original MK. VI armor for the campaign, and then either change it to this new version, or change it to something else in Halo 5 game since it's too damaged or broken.

In that regarde, I wouldn't mind Thorne getting stuck behind Promethean enemy lines and his suit repairing itself into some awesome Promethean armor while Chief goes on a vision quest with Mendicant Bias and finds out his spirit animal is a Seeker.
Master Chief's armor should've been explained and it's those finer touches that could've made Halo 4's campaign that much better.

While I'm less than happy about some of the new designs I think chief's new armor is awesome.Originally Posted by daedalius

Damnit. New Thread.
Did anyone else fill out the survey? I did. Gave me a bit of satisfaction to give several campaign and matchmaking maps/levels 1 star ratings.
That cinematic really bugged my inner lore fanboy because you can see Elite savaged armor using swords and RIP Covenant transport ships now they get out of the ships like swarm of insects.I hated the fact they changed it at all.

Maybe they didnt want to bother in those details and just put chief armor in all the spartans to avoid doing different armors for such a little timed cinematic.
Also they retconed this scene?
Oh new thread? Halo 5 please
How do we know they retconned those scenes? Are they teasers for new Halos to come? Have they elaborated what each scene meant? Why put the new Mk Armor on other Spartans? What's Halsey doing handing Cortana to chief while he was depressed wearing his new armor?Originally Posted by Orochinagis

Something doesn't make sense to those scenes and why I haven't seen any developer talk about them just makes it odd.

- Chopper - maybe some equivalent (forerunner/promethean?)
- Camo Powerup - maybe (hopefully replaces AA)

The whole introduction video is weird, we still have no idea who interviewed her, they never really got onto other spartans, they used the wrong armorYou know what really and I mean REALLY bother my inner fanboy? THEY ARE USING THE WRONG ARMOR IN THE CINEMATIC!
And completely disregarded that another group of humans did the same crime like Halsey with creating Spartan 3s
A little late to the party, but nice work on the |OT|, Ozzy. Survey didn't take as long as I thought it would.
Yeah, I got used to the new design and I even kind of like it now. It makes perfect branding sense to change it, to give the Reclaimer non-trilogy its own design, I just (like everyone else) wish they spend two seconds explaining it...Originally Posted by daedalius

I do like the new armor now, the mp armor is atrocious for the most part though. I think they explained the armor thing in a text log on the ship, but I was bothered how Chief never questioned it at all.Originally Posted by Prinz Eugn

Better to hang a lantern on it than never bother explaining in my book. But it's a self-created issue so I don't have too much sympathy.I do like the new armor now, the mp armor is atrocious for the most part though.

His helmet is ok. The chest is awful.
I liked the new armor for the most part, I could see why someone might hate the chest or shoulder pads though.
Mk.V + Halo 2 armor were the best IMO. MC's helmet in Halo 4 was cool, as were some changes like getting rid of the space diaper, but it wasn't until Halo 3 that it became more apparent to me how silly it was designed.

I also like his helmet. I'm pretty indifferent to the rest of his armor. Remember CodpieceGate, everyone?
I'd say we got more than a cod piece.

About time we have a new thread.
I don't mind the armor as a whole too too much, I just hate the doofy-ass disney-faced chestplate rim thing.
Halo 4 Essential Visual Guide quote coming upI think they explained the armor thing in a text log on the ship, but I was bothered how Chief never questioned it at all.
Page 10: "Fully updated by Cortana, this armor resembles an earlier line of Mjolnir Mark IV"
So I guess Cortana remodeled it (nanotech? lulz) to look like one of the three currently known lines of Mark IV, which gives them a way of getting away with not using the other forms of MKIV in the Prologue cinematic.
Halo 5 Beta access with every new copy of Titan Fall better be announced the VGX. That would only help both franchises in sales and attention.
Didn't notice the new thread until just now. Hi everyone.
Halo Xbox One trailer pls
edit: Oh yeah, and great OT Ozzy.

Well you could also read that as ignoring the differences in Halo 4 and instead explaining the Package/Forward Unto Dawn MkIV variant that was basically a copy-paste of the MkVI. Really wish they had just ignored the Package's aesthetics since they're so borked.Halo 4 Essential Visual Guide quote coming up

if I had a time machine I would nuke Legends from existence.
Thanks mate, looks like a lot but it's pretty quick. I know some will deliberate their ratings more though so I think it's a bit if fun too. Like Fusch said the interesting part for yourself is seeing it all laid out in simple stars so you can compare your own ratings too.A little late to the party, but nice work on the |OT|, Ozzy. Survey didn't take as long as I thought it would.
To be fair to it, none of the titles there are console exclusives, and only 4 are first person shooters.http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/12/top-tw...november-2013/
Ctrl+F "Halo"...
:(
Yea i don't like the chest part mainly for the master chief design in Halo 4. It needs much more armor than just strips. Halo 1-3 had it right. Also i didn't like the shoulder pads looking like they float,it needs to be on him and not coming out like that. Also they should have the back not pop out that much[thrusters] And the black part of the suit should not have those bumps.

I assume it's supposed to look like that they can do what the books say they can do (run super fast and become Halo Neo, essentially.)Originally Posted by Syphon Filter

Because let's face it, the Bungie designs didn't look exactly...... flexible.
There were a lot of things which I thought were weird about Halo 4's campaign. How did the Chief and Cortana know the Didact's name again? No one seemed all that surprised to find the Chief after he's been gone for a few years on some random forerunner shield world. Just odd little things which weren't explained much.Originally Posted by FUNKNOWN iXi

I doubt we'll see the CE pistol make a return, it's just a bit too OP.
I'd love to see the Grenade launcher return though, really satisfying to use right. The Falcon and chopper (especially the chopper) are awesome as well, I would love to see them again.
I actually quite liked the Chief's design in 4. I really like the helmet. It was much more imposing than the previous games. The rest of the armour doesn't really bother me.
True, but he's still supposed to look like a hulking super soldier. There's a balance that I dunno if either studio managed to nail.Originally Posted by PentinantTangent

Female Spartans need to eat a few more sandwiches before they hit the war games though.
Yea but he actually looks slightly bulkier in Halo 4 so wouldn't that weight him down? The back pops out more and his chest is bigger.Originally Posted by PentinantTangent

See when the shoulders are in this angle he looks better since you cant see the shoulders pop out. Also they should bring back the circles on his hand,why did they even change that?
And dat Halo 2 master chief

I don't mind the new armor, but I wish the chest and shoulder pads were more true to the Halo 2/3 design.

But there are still separation among the armor pieces. Even it was heavier, the separation among the pieces would still allow for easier movement.Originally Posted by Syphon Filter

If so, they did a pretty bad job. Hulking super soldier is not what I think when I see Spartan armor designs.
In h4, at least the design appears to be capable of what they can do in the books; and hulking super soldiers rarely sneak around in stealth mode.
Now Space Marines... that's what I think of when I think "hulking super soldier"
Well the space marines of Starcraft and Warhanmer are fantasy cartoon designs. I don't think they're really intended to be a realistic portrayal of any future tech.Originally Posted by daedalius

While you might have to adjust some parts of the armor to allow all the animations you want, I still prefer CE Chief in basically every way to the successors.
