How the new armor (while is cool) needs an explanation.
First off it's been revealed that the Chief's newest armor is just the Mark VI but with FIRMWARE upgrades. Firmware can not mean the whole armor plating was changed as well.
While I was never a big fan of the traditional Mark VI, there just needs to be an actual explanation for the change in look, not ARTISTIC LICENSE.
To me this would mean that if a Halo 2 Anniversary is made, the Chief would not be wearing his famous Mark VI look but instead the new armor.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lime013 I agree with you, they do need an explanation. It couldn't have been Cortana because she cannot change the exterior of the Chief's armor and it cannot be nano bots because since when were there nano bots on FuD?[/quote] I thought it would be cool if you have standard Mk VI in the first level or two, then once you're in the shield world, you come across a few Engineers and they wind up upgrading your armor. This would be cool because the new armor does kinda have a Forerunner "look" to it. It could also explain "Forerunner Vision" if they decide to work that into the campaign. I'm all about 343i wanting their own style, and as the new developer of the Halo Universe, it's their right. However, I think they should at least nod to the original developer and creator of the game that gave them all jobs by starting the chief out in the H3 Mk VI armor. Plus it would be a great fan service, 'cause I've heard a [i]lot[/i] of complaints on this issue from long-time Halo fans. I personally think the new armor is sweet looking, but it's gonna drive me crazy if they don't come up with a better explanation than "nano-bots". A lot of people have referenced this from Halsey's journal and Glasslands, but all I remember from either is that the software/firmware can upgrade itself. But what do I know, right?
