: It's attention to detail that attracts many, including
: myself, to the Halo series. When details change for no clear reason it
: bothers some who pay attention to such things.
Honestly, I'm not so sure if its attention to detail per se.
I can't help but think a big part of it is simply because its the Master Chief.
So its probably also worth pointing out that for me, MC is actually a fairly minor part of what makes Halo, Halo. I've never been particularly fond of him as a character or icon, and honestly didn't miss him at all in ODST or Reach.
So in this sense, changes to MC bother me less than changes to the Elites, which I do have a fondness for (and on that note, the Arbiters armour changed from silver in H2 to gold in H3).
Vehicles is another matter I've simply gotten used to. The Warthog has undergone a number of changes from game to game, and the Longsword was completely transformed from H2 to H3, as was the Seraph from H2/H3 to Reach.
Not forgetting the changes to Pillar of Autumn in Reach.
Essentially, the changes to MC's armour don't seem to be setting any kind of precedent or even be particularly unusual to me. Its just par for the course in the Halo Universe, and always has been.
Some of these things we've made a bigger fuss about than others, such as PoA, while others haven't really been given a second thought.
In a way, as fans were are just as inconsistent with our feelings as the art and visuals of the Halo universe.
