New type of marine/spartan?

Game Trailers Halo 4 preview

If you go to ‘32’ seconds into the video, there is a quick shot of what looks like a cinematic with chief standing thier next to a presumably high ranked unsc/oni soldier with what looks like a new type of marine sporting some cool armor, or potentialy even a fellow spartan sitting down in front of them =D.

also, though its off screen, it looks amazing, what do you guys think?

btw here is a screen cap of video;

Halo 4 cinematic

The guy in the middle I’m guessing is your commander, and the guy to your left I’m guessing is a spartan 4. Looks cool, can’t wait to see it on my own screen.

I like how there are a lot of NZer’s here, feelsgoodman.jpg

Spartans generally do not show their faces without taking off their helmets, so…

Since 343 took the liberty to graphically enhance (and alter a little) Chief’s Mjolnir armor , then why not do the same with the Marines as well? I think it’s high time , 343 made the Marines look as ‘Marines’ , rather than some under-dressed troopers in Halo CE and Halo 2 , since they are 500 years in the future and they should sport a more modernized and bad@&& marine armor!

yeah its about time the marines got an upgrade lol, if the UNSC can afford spartans, surely they can afford some more protective and badass gear for the other millions of loyal marines out there lol

For anyone that can’t see that the mask is open and you can see his nose Just like the guy to the far right. here

ah yeah thought so. sweet so we know marines look badass now

edit; also, are they in a pelican?

What ever they are, they’re defiantly not Spartans, they’re not in armor from what I see, they look too ordinary as well, they just don’t look like Spartans. I think they’re ordinary marines with updated armor, maybe technicians or co-pilots.

To me it looks like just a visor but my eyes are terrible lol.

MJOLNIR costs as much as a battlegroup I believe, so I think its either a pilot or a SIV with polarised visor.

That’s no Marine, he’s a Spartan IV, I’m very sure of it.

The arms look too small to be a S4, I’m guessing it’s a marine wearing some EVA armor.

I remember people saying that the inspired Spartan IV had Mk.7 armor. From the side of the helmet, this look like him for sure.

It’s supposed to be that guy, at least I think…

true, but I’m still sticking with my bet on him being just a marine.

Those are just marines.

You can even see a glimpse of that orange sunglasses they’re always wearing. It’s just that they have new armor. But those are no ODST’s or S4’s.

Firstly they lack the amount of armor ODSTs and S4s have.
Secondly ODST helmets don’t actually open, but go transparant…these helmets are open.
Thirdly if you compare these character models to the standard S4 multiplayer model (which should be the same as the ones used in campaign) you’ll easily see they don’t match.

i hope its a marine and not another spartan

Yeah, that’s definitely a marine. The armour doesn’t look even remotely like MJOLNIR [GEN2] armour, nor is there a visor on his helmet.

In plus, if you look on the right of the screen, you can see another Marine wearing the same armour.

Marine with an elongated cheek piece. Or perhaps it goes all the way around the chin now.

The armor on the arms looks nowhere near bulky enough to even remotely resemble a spartan.

All I know is that I really hope that that helmet is usable in multiplayer.
