What is up with master cheif in halo 4? His armor looks allot different from Halo 2 and Halo 3.........
At least in halo 2 they showed Master Cheif getting new armor.
In halo 4 he wakes up in brand new armor?

My theory for why so much is different is that Bungie's halo trilogy and 343i's trilogy take place in different universes. In Bungie's universe, the canon is such that the fight was finished and Chief was left drifting in space, forerunner planet or not. The Forerunners remain just as mysterious as they were in CE and humanity can honor the lost and rebuild. In 343i's universe, most of the same general events from Bungie's universe occurred, albeit, with drastically different looks and laws of physics. Some Forerunners are not only alive, but characterized and antagonistic. Also, any combat simulators programmed within this universe will be inexplicably shoddy.
