Let's analyze the Halo 4 trailer

Ok so before we all jump to conclusions, let’s analyze the Halo 4 trailer.

First off we see MC with some sort of built in [zeo-g thrusters]. This is most likely NOT in the Mark VI. My best guess is that it was shown to give a tease to what will happen in the game. So in other words, you’ll probably start out with just standard Mark VI armor at the beginning of the game.
The first level will obviously be waking up and escaping the Foward Unto Dawn’s remains.

Cortana’s rampancy from Origins wasn’t shown but then again the trailer was extremely short.

That giant hole in the planet makes me think of the one the Spirit of Fire was drawn into in Halo Wars, leading me to believe it’s a Shield World


Why did you ruin Chief and the pistol?

Why does Cortana look like a bad cosplay?

If this is the art direction of Halo after the beautiful remake, you can count me out.

I’m so excited I can’t even form thoughts.

I’m done with the Bungie forums. This is my new home from now on.

Mario has changed a lot too over the past years.

It just might be the only remaining Forerunner stronghold. Or Unicron LOL!
But really if they were hinting at AAs with the jetpack then I am throughly disappointed.

> Mario has changed a lot too over the past years.

Not much, and they don’t have a consistent canon to keep up.

I was talking about the polygon count. That is why he could look different. Graphics have evolved in the past 5 years.

I’m interested if Jen Taylor will be reprising her role. It won’t be the same without her, honestly…Because the trailer didn’t sound much like her…Couldn’t imagine her not returning though!

Man…I need more! But a CGI trailer will have to do.

> I was talking about the polygon count. That is why he could look different. Graphics have evolved in the past 5 years.

Truth. I’d rather have his suit change and look better than to keep it looking low poly count. It’ll look low-rez compared to the environment and everything.

Did that sound like Jen Tayler? And what’s his name for Chief?

It looks like they were getting sucked into that light thing.

00:49-00:51
John puts something on the end of his Magnum, looks like a silencer?
Edit
Notes so far:
Attachment-Grenade launcher/Explosive rounds, Silencer.
Jetpack may have been built in(unlikely) Cortana may have been upgrading his suit??

The trailer was great (as was the Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary trailer), but what was that jetpack for??? It was completely pointless, and makes absolutely no sense…

^This.

Or another grenade because a silencer in a vaccuum where there’s no oxygen to convey sound would be stupid.

I’m gonna analyze this trailer. Errr… No, i can’t, not now, this just blew my mind… freaking awesome. Thanks 343.

It looked more like he put on an explosive round or something.
We need a higher quality trailer.
Also the jetpack may have been built into the suit the whole time. We never really saw a chance for him to use it in Halo 2 or 3

At the last part where we see the plannet the hole it looks like a weapon that can fire a Energy beam maybe thats what hit the ship?

To me its def forerunner.

lolwut? because the Mk VI helmet in Halo 2 and Halo: Reach is the same design it has the same amount of polygons…NO!

They should NOT have changed the helmet, it would have made more sense for john to keep Halo3 armor until he could get some forerunner threads. I have no problem with the slight changes to the rest of the armor, and I will eagerly await Halo 4, but the helmet helps make MC what he is change in this case is VERY BAD.

Chief’s Redesign in Halo 4 has nothing to do with polygons, the armor was completely redesigned!
