It makes me mad that we cannot really unlock Chief’s armor because it has noticeable difference than the Mark VI you unlock. Why would 343 make it like this?
You’re not playing as Chief in the simulations? Chief’s armour is unique to him; it’s a modified Mark VI Gen2.

They should at least make it so there’s a way to unlock it, not to mention Kelly, Linda, and Fred’s armor are all unlockable in their same state.
No one is as badass as MC.

That’s because the armour that Fred, Kelly and Linda are wearing are the standard versions of those armours. You’re not unlocking their armours, you’re unlocking the Mjolnir variants that they wear. That’s also the reason that the Legendary Hunter armour that can be unlocked isn’t Locke’s armour; it’s Hunter armour.
Edit: For what it’s worth, we’ve never played as Chief in any Halo multiplayer. Even if we were to play in Mark VI with the Sage colouring in Halo 3, we were only ever playing as a Spartan in Sage coloured Mark VI.

Personally i do still think they should add chief modified mark vi after all his armor did get repaired after halo 4 and after he defeated the didact so the unsc must have taken the design and made it its own set why wouldn’t they its a far more advanced mark vi makes sense to me also i think it would just be cool to see two teams decked in blue team and osiris gear and watch them go head to head

Who cares? The opening of Halo 4 shows a whole ton of other spartans wearing it too.
If 343i didn’t care about portraying spartans in the proper armor, I’m sure having it in MP wouldn’t be a big deal either.
I like that Chief’s armor is unique to him. But I don’t see why he has to have a monopoly on sage. Why can’t we at least be the same color as classic mjolnir?
it seems some what disrespectful to chief in my opinion seeing as all other other S2s have very similar looking armor so uniqueness really doesnt matter
Also the multiplayer armor sets all still have the brail on the chest pieces that say their numbers 104 058 087 and bucks still has the heart and arrow that has a v in meaning veronica his gf so it is the spartans armor not a standard variant so it is unique but still usable
Maybe a future REQ? Who really knows? Besides, all the other armors are cool enough.
If you’ll notice, none of the campaign armors are exactly the same in multi. The paint schemes are different, neither default nor alt match Campaign armor.

Wrong… well kinda… Halo 1 had the same armor for both campaign and multiplayer, but that’s kinda obvious.
Isn’t the Reaper armor Chief’s armor?

So did Halo 2…
I think lore wise they want everyone to have a unique Spartan and not have a bunch of masterchiefs running around because then every game would end in a tie :o
What I want to know is WHY is it different? It makes no sense! It’s never once explained how he managed to get a whole new look whilst in cryo sleep! Sure, cortana made some SOFTWARE updates, but that doesn’t explain why the armor is completely different yet still has the damage on it’s chest piece.
If they had just changed the canon look that would be swell, but they didn’t, they made TWO separate mark VI’s! WHY?!
In the beginning of the game when they show off the spartan 2’s (who were all wearing mark VI’s for some stupid reason), they are ALL wearing the same armor as Chief, so why the hell can’t we have that? Did they think we’d be nostalgic and cry for the old armor? Maybe… But that doesn’t explain why we can’t have both.

Please don’t revive old threads. Thanks.
