cortana aparently used nano bots to change his armor, but she couldnt fix that little scratch on his chest.
(halo 4 ending spoilers)
And at the end of the game he takes off his outdated armor that has dints on it, so that just indicates that Chief is getting new armor in halo 5 or Spartan ops (if he apears in it).
so was there realy any point in his armor change at all? his original Mark VI was better any way.
If I was Master chief waking up from cryo on the forward unto dawn my first words would be " what the -Yoink- did you do to my armor!!!"
He would look out of place compared to the rest of the games art style, also his new armour is extremely badass.
Also how was his old armour better, he can now use AA’s. Anyways it’s a new game, new developers, new look on chief and a new art style. His old armour was too generic whilst this armour makes him look like the tank he is.
It is substantially different but only because they wanted a new art style. It’s not related to cannon in any way apart from the nano bot excuse to please the nitty picky people.

As stated before it is the art style. But I will say that the nano bot theory is actually fact. This is proven in several places such as the Halo 4 website (where it says chief is wearing “highly modified MK VI armor”) and by Franky himself.

This guy is the most correct. The nanobot thing probably came from the Reach Halsey journal, in which she goes into the various tiers of the MJOLNIR armor and what each prototype tier should be able to accomplish. V would add shields, VI would add better shields and a better Biofoam distribution system and i think better AI housing. VII was supposed to have nano-bots to upgrade itself in cryo-sleep.
That being said, Chief still had VI, and all Cortana did is update his firmware.
Personally i don’t mind. Creative freedom and all that. I just wish we could unlock his new Mark VI in multiplayer, versus the old one.

There isn’t a reason. Chief’s suit does not have Nano-bots. Only Mark VII has nanobots bro.
> Chief’s suit does not have Nano-bots. Only Mark VII has nanobots bro.
Believe me, I’d be the last person to support the retardo-bot theory, I’m just curious as to why there’s a Mk VI in multiplayer that looks nothing like the Chief’s armor…which is also a Mk VI and has been since H2.
The only provided reason is that his “firmware has been updated”
Now, unless “firmware” means something different in the future, then we have no reason for the change.
But since multiplayer is canon in this installment, then it makes no sense.

It looks like that because 343i wanted to give the fans something familiar.
AKA the MARK VI (As it was in Halo 3)
It is still the same MARK VI as always. Chief only looks different because he NEEDS to look and feel unique to the players.
I’ll pull my Ace outta my sleeve and state: The Prologue intro, shows several Spartan-IIs Pre-Halo 1 fighting the Covenant in the exact same armor like Chiefs.

The more familiar armor, and the one I’d have preferred to see in the campaign was the multiplayer variant. It really does look like the old Mk VI just updated. The Chief’s armor in campaign aside from the helmet has little in the way of connections to the old.

In times before the Mk VI armor itself, that intro is a whole other discussion in terms of continuity. I did like the built-in thruster systems though.

Like I said above, I’d be the last person to ever support the nano theory.
To all you people saying about the nano bots here is the official account of events.
343i changed the armour because it fits the art style and gives chief more depth. Now they couldn’t just radically change the look of his armour (and include AA’s) without saying nothing so, to tie loose ends, they said that Cortana used nanobots on the FuD to change the armour. In halo 4 Chief now wears a custom Cortana MKVI edition hence why the Infinity armour is different. Yes it is a weak excuse but they changed the armour because is was plain and out of place, not as a pivotal thing in the campaign.
I can understand why many of you are saying “WTF!?” but the nanobots are better then 343i saying, “Because we could, now shut up.”

I believe this was just a silly inconsistency on 343i’s part…
Or it could be a pre MK V and cortana changed chiefs armour back to pre MK V style because he liked it. (I know far fetched…)
