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] RaamSkorge Oh, I'm sorry, you've played Halo 4 and know exactly what the explanation on Firmware is? I am pretty sure the massive UNSC presence at some point in the game doesn't explain it at all. So, anyway, you don't know what Firmware is. It could be an overhaul of armor to catch up with the SPARTAN-IV armor. Like the Mark V and IV variants did for the Mark VI. Sorry, I just forgot that we had been given all the information on Halo 4 and knew exactly what everything was.[/quote] Impossible. 343i has showed off numerous screenshots of the Chief on the Forward Unto Dawn with the new armor on.
