In Response To: Re: Official box art 'apparently'! (Time Glitch) : I really want to trust your guy's design decisions... : But... : I really think the Chief should have kept his old look...At least for the : reveal trailer. The chief's beat up Mark VI armor was one of the things : that tied us to him. It showed battle scars...It showed us all the battles : and fights we've been through with him. It gave him character and age. : In a new trilogy, with probably a whole new universe to explore...We need : something to tie us to Halo's history. We need the Chief from the previous : games. We need the Chief we discovered Halo with. We need the Chief we : defended Earth with. We need the Chief that we defeated the Covenant AND : the Flood with... : What we don't need is a "new" Chief. I'm not really sure about this. Changing the armor is fine with me, honestly. And with what Frankie said above it looks like it will be explained in the game. I think upgrading the Chief's armor is the best way to go. The Chief and Cortana's presence ties these newer games to the older ones, while the upgrades to the Chief's armor and Cortana's visual differences help to better tie them into the new games. 343i needs to spend less time saying "See, this is the same Halo you know and love" and more time showing how their Halo games are new and different. If they did their job right, the game will already feel like Halo and we won't need to be convinced of that. The real challenge is convincing us that this is a new, interesting, and entertaining story.
