What do you think about Chief’s new suit? Lack of thrusters might indicate thrusters are incompatible somehow. Perhaps the suit is too heavy, or it’s the prototype, made before thrusters could be added. Looks like the relative strength compared to enemies is the same. Enemies still die from melee strikes as always.
The shoulders bug me. I figure they listened to people that complained about the low shoulder pads in Halo 4-5, but it looks like they’re going to clip through Chief’s chest armor when he raises his arms high. I think they could add some animation where the shoulder pieces slide down the arm when Chief raises his arms high. Could think of it as a form of “smart armor” I call it. Not all armor pieces are locked in place, some are made to change position as per certain gestures.
It looked like his stomach armor, under the breast plate, didn’t move. Like it’s one with the chest piece. The stomach piece is supposed to be separate for flexibility. But we may have to see more to be sure.
