You people are confusing me.

In Response To: Re: Interesting Frankie Quote (Narcogen) : I don't find that productive. I am not complaining about the lack of : explanations for things that might yet be explained. : I am complaining about seemingly needless decisions that now require : explanation, when the substance of this trailer could easily have been : achieved without requiring any such explanations, present or future, : potential or realized. So I missed all this conversation last week, when it raged, because I was a little busy. But I'm catching up now, and I'm confused: it seems that everyone (well, most people) are assuming that this trailer begins right where Halo 3's Legendary ending ends up. Why? There was no open Arc-like disc on the surface of the planet we saw in Halo 3 - and the ship wasn't plummeting to the surface at that point. So CLEARLY it's not RIGHT after that ending. So why can't it be YEARS after that ending? Why can't 343 be producing a trailer that LOOKS like a similar time and locale, but actually represents a completely different situation? In fact, wouldn't doing that cause the large amount of discussion at an early date? Might that not be what they're striving to do with this trailer? My VERY FIRST REACTION when I watched the trailer was "holy crap, this must be much later than the end of Halo 3, cause the Chief's got thrusters!" (Actually, I might have thought 'jetpack' - but that's been beaten out of me in the past few days.) It WASN'T "wow, 343 totally fucked this up by introducing impossible armor modifications to a scene we've already seen..." How come everyone else is betting on 343's worst?
