has this been explained?

Why did master chiefs armor change but mark 6 in multiplayer didnt.

too much work for such a fancy design armor in multiplayer.

i really don’t know though

> Why did master chiefs armor change but mark 6 in multiplayer didnt.

because master chief isnt in mark 6 any more
its cortanas own design
they state that in the first mission

because Cortana rewrote his hardwire while he was at, so his armor is a modified Mark VI, whereas multiplayer the Spartan IVs didn’t get a re-build Mark VI, they got default.

I didnt know mark 6 could change shape when ever.

> I didnt know mark 6 could change shape when ever.

it was on a ship for 4 years with a mad AI thinking her self to death and getting board
what did you aspect was going to happen.

> I didnt know mark 6 could change shape when ever.

it didn’t. Everyone in this thread has already said that Cortana tampered with it, making it change. She didn’t go and tamper with every single set of Mark VI, therefor Chief got the special edition, and everyone else kept the original.

i understand that she tampered with it. but i dont get is how. how can an A.I change armor while the person is in cryo sleep. there are no machinery or anything in the pods that could help her.

Cortana rewrote FIRMWARE. She’s an AI, she can’t change his actual armor…

  1. “Slop is military slang for Nanoreagent Hydrocarbots - a suspension of nanomachines that renders nearly all carbon heavy matter into usable fuel for the UNSC’s ubiquitous internal combustion powerplants.”

This confirms UNSC possess Nanotechnology and had it around the time the Chief’s armor was made.

  1. In Campaign, players take the role of the Master Chief, the living legend of the Covenant War, a SPARTAN-II super-soldier <mark>wearing heavily modified GEN1 Mjolnir armor</mark>.

This confirms his Armor has been modified.

  1. [I noticed that the Mark VI armor for Multiplayer is not the same armor that the Chief dons in Halo 4. What type of armor is the Chief wearing then? -One One Seven

<mark>Very fancy, very custom, very unique “Cortana special” armor.</mark>](http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/05/The-Halo-Bulletin-9512.aspx)

This confirms the armor is customized by Cortana

  1. “Nanobots making repairs to Chief’s armor.”

This confirms Chief’s armor interacts with Nanobots

Now put all of this together and you have your answer: Nanobots were used by Cortana to modify the Chief’s armor while he slept in Cryo for 4 years.

Excellent explanation. Thank you.
