With master chief having broken armour in the haloX1 trailer and the ending of halo 4, 343i are sort giving evidence of him getting new armour in HX1.
The reason why it could be forerunner is that
A. The armour could be the key to defeating the didact if he returns
B. Making him into a spartan 4 would make him less unique.
C. With the librarian unlocking his genetic potential you will need armour to match and fully enhance those abilities.
Thoughts?
I’d much rather him just upgrade to a new set of Mjolnir.
Also, how would they “Make him into a Spartan IV”? He’s a Spartan II, that can’t be changed.
That is one way to go, but it seems like it would conflict with what the Librarian was planning. Things like Chief’s augmentations and armor were planned for by the Librarian and then filtered down to ordinary people to benefit the rest of humanity. Chief getting Forerunner armor, while not logically a bad idea, kind gets in the way of the narrative laid out.

You do know that the remaining Spartan IIs and IIIs were offered to join the Spartan IV program at the end of Glasslands, right?

They just integrate you into the program, that’s what happened to the spartan 3s. The forerunner armour will probably be similar to the way chief’s looks.

Yeah, well aware. However, being integrated to fight alongside Spartan IVs doesn’t mean he’ll become a Spartan IV. The IIIs who were integrated with the IVs are still Spartan IIIs, any IIs that would be integrated with the IVs would still be Spartan IIs.

Her plan with didact helping humanity didn’t work out so she may need to give chief advancements in tech so he can serve as the aid and protector of humanity.
Also it may not provide powers like the didact’s and it may only be given to chief to ensure he has the best protection from harm.
How about I get to a middle ground with you. What if chief gets a reversed engineered Mjolnir proto-type similar to prefect ( not in look of course)
By the way I just wanted to state I really enjoy your topics, I like the silly ones and you have good ideas when you are being serious…keep it up ^-^!

Thanks, coming up with silly ideas is quite fun and it gives people something to talk about, even though I have received some flak by it

What makes you think it hasn’t worked? More people are getting augmented and MJOLNIR is becoming more widespread. The things started with Chief have spread into the Spartan-IV Program. Her plan to rehabilitate the Didact failed, but her development of humanity is going along just fine.

The chat with Halsey and the mysterious man at the start of H4 sort of shows that the augmentations are only used for military not for the aid of humanity. Once your a spartan 4 your basically part of the military for life.
I just sort of have a feeling the program is more about personal gain than the benefit of the human race as a whole.

Obviously the military benefits from the Librarian’s plans now, but who is to say that won’t eventually trickle down? Unlike their predecessors, the IVs are all official, all of humanity knows about them and there is nothing to hide about their origins. How many technological advances have begun in the military sector or scientific sector and have made it into public life? A lot.
IDK about a 100% Forerunner suit, but I was imagining Chief would receive some sort of major upgrade (equivalent to Tony Stark’s Hulkbuster armor) at some point. He’s going to need it if he even hopes to compete with the Didact in hand-to-hand combat.

Kinda, but she (the Librarian) also handed us the Janus key…well, until ONI mucked it up. With the possibilities coming from that and the number of Huragok we have, I think it’s more likely we’ll see Chief in some enhanced Mjolnir or Hybrid armour than just a pure Forerunner combat skin.
But hey, anything can happen!

Like Prefect…only maybe not so OTT with the hexagons.

I don’t think the Librarian meant that she exactly planned that humanity develops augmentations and MJOLNIR armor. (does she?)
When I remember it correctly she says something along the lines that she implanted seeds that would lead to an eventuality.
So, I think all she planned is that humanity would be able to rise and evolve to its ancient strength again and to step into the Forerunner’s shoes.
That humanity developed Spartans is just one of the many possible ways but they will still lead to the same planned result.
Besides, how should the Librarian be able to plan a specific evolution in detail without pulling the strings the entire time since you cannot plan for random factors? I know she had the ability of foresight but that would seem kind of incomprehnsible.
To the OP:
I don’t see the Chief getting an entirely new armor simply because his armor has been his visual identity.
Maybe he will go back to his halo 3 armour. That was my favourite armour by far, however I would love it if (only for a little while) he had some sort of forerunner armour.

She says that Chief himself is the eventuality. Him, Halsey, Halsey designing the Mjolnir armour and even Cortana being made from a clone of Halsey are ALL those eventualities she alluded to:
"I hid seeds from the Didact; Seeds that would lead to an eventually…you.
You, your combat skin, even your ancilla Cortana.
You are the culmination, of a thousand lifetimes of planning…"
So yes, she meant that literally. Chief was designed, by the Librarian, to be the Paragon of Humanity and be the first to lead them on the path to Reclamation.
Hence, I believe…why he’s so lucky.

In other words, Chief is the “Chosen One”.
But back to the subject, it would be pretty cool if chief upgraded to some kind of forerunner armor hybrid kinda like this…
