Okay So the galaxy is in peril at the moment with Cortana leading a band of Created in a war against human resistance Now think about this for a moment, the UNSC has been expanding in technology recently but what if Cortana and the other created knew of a back door to turn off all that tech to render it useless. gear would not work and become obsolete and the war would be lost really fast…unless they decide to fight with old-gen technology that is more low tech but gets the job done. Thats right, I am talking about classic Halo gear. Old warthogs, pelicans, marine and ODST armor and the loss of the smart-links on guns. in order to win this war they are going to have to salvage whatever they can from old technology. stuff from the CMA days or Reach campaign to add gun variety to the franchise even. Just an idea, what do you think about it, Spartans? The spirit of fire is fighting on what remains of the ark at the time so maybe ONI will save them since they love to keep tabs on forerunner wreckage and acquire some old tech.
No one wants to weigh in, its an interesting idea…
It would make sense from a lore perspective, but would 343i really want to “backtrack” to the old gear from the original games? They seem more than happy to add new, shinier tech and alter old weapons. I wouldn’t expect much from them.

True but in terms of dynamic story telling and logic it would make perfect sense to see some old tech alongside some new tech that is independent from created hacking abilities.
I don’t like 343s new art style. They completely overhauled just about everything that it hardly looks and feels like halo. Everything looks like bulky plastic.
Not to mention they completely changed covenant look and mutated the Arbiter which is total BS…when a games major selling point is its campaign you just can’t change everything…
A good design changes for example are the Halo 3 scorpions to the Halo reach scorpions. Or the original pelican. To the more Jet like H2A pelican. Not completely changing it to a whole new look that is just awful.
That’s a interesting idea, plus from a lore perspective there some UNSC forces still using old gear. The Spirit of Fire has plenty of old stuff. ODST’s probably still use the same armor as Halo 3/Reach. But if the new gear is unusable, that would mean the Spartan IVs can’t use the gen 2 armor, same with Blue team. I wonder what happened to old Mjolnir armor after the war.

probably got either recycled or retrofitted to handle the gen2 upgrades. But I bet somewhere in unknown space there is some Gen 1 prototypes.

Well, see, there’s your problem right there, expecting that from 343’s current writing staff…

I love how everything got remade. Same game, but different and new at the same time. We have had plenty enough of other Halo games, its time for new stuff

Some stuff and remakes look very derpy though… not so militaristic…but I digress.
Considering they still use pretty much all of the same tech as before, just updated, I don’t know how that would work.

different operating systems perhaps.
Any other theories?
Some UNSC forces still use old tech, so a game around that would be a good reason for old designs to return in a new game.
Yes, doing this will help make everybody happy by going to past.
