With the release of the new Halo Infinite Teaser it’s become very apparent that 343 has to come back to a way of form, by showing us that not only will Master Cheif be getting his good ol’ iconic armor back, but so are the Marines and hopefully ODST. However I’m not too keen on jumping on the hype train just yet, this isn’t the first time 343 has used an older Marine model to test their game, in this picture which I will either link to or post here, it shows that in the early development stages of H2A, the same Halo Reach Cross-Branch BDU (which is also green like we see in the teaser trailer) being used as a placeholder for the actual Marine models that were implemented. People I advise you all not to get your hopes up, chances are 343 didn’t have their proper Marine models finished yet and used a faster variation model of the Reach Marine as a placeholder again. However if you are optimistic about this stilll I’d like to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comments below, thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yeah but H2A was always going to have new marines which, well. Look like Halo 2 marines.
These Marines in Halo Infinite trailer are definitely not confirmed as the final look, but the full leg guards, slimmer shoulders and lack of knife show that the marines in the trailer are in fact new models.
But I must further another point, this is an engine demo; not a final representation of the game. Nothing in the Halo Infinite trailer should be taken as definite and confirmed, but rather taken with caution. I believe this probably has the same accuracy as poncho chief had in 2013. Don’t take anything in this game trailer seriously.
