In Response To: Re: Why do you? (Archilen)
: So you're saying he goes into cryo with Mark VI on, and comes out wearing
: something else? I can accept nanomachines repairing damage to the armor,
: but remaking it into a new generation entirely - while stranded in space
: without resources or contact to the UNSC - is just too much.
: Maybe he'll come out of cryo wearing his old-school Mark VI in the final
: game, but my point still stands. You can make up an in-story explanation
: for just about any kind of change, but when something well-established and
: iconic gets changed for no reason, and the new version is way inferior to
: the original, a lot of people will be understandably upset.
: Was the change from Mark V to Mark VI warranted? Not from a story
: perspective, but at least it was grounded in the story much more
: naturally, and on top of that the new armor wasn't a complete departure
: from the aesthetic style of the original. It was like an evolution of the
: design, rounding the edges and making the profile more smooth, not a
: complete remake from scratch. And in Halo 3, the armor was basically
: identical to the Halo 2 Mark VI, with minor detail additions or the
: comparatively tiny change of the gloves.
: The in-story situation between Halo 2 and Halo 3 was a lot like that between
: Halo 3 and Halo 4 - the Chief is away from the rest of the UNSC and has no
: realistic way of getting a new armor. In Halo 3, there was an opportunity
: to give him a new suit - maybe at Crow's Nest. Yet it stayed the same,
: because there was no need to change it. Bungie had already nailed the
: iconic design in Halo 3, so why scrap it?
: In Halo 4, it seems 343i has taken the opposite route, apparently deeming the
: original style Mark VI as being too ugly for their game, whilst lacking an
: ability to view their own designs with a critical eye. Again, I could've
: handled the obvious detail improvements that come with better graphics, or
: minor changes in things like gloves, but here they've entirely scrapped
: the original profile of the armor, and replaced it with something that, in
: addition to being hideous, has nothing to do with the design of the
: original.
Frankie has already said the trailer scene is not in the game.
