Why would Bungie have concept art for the Forerunner Combat Skins?
[url=http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/4/41/Ih_promethean_bullet.jpg] Excluding the fact that he looks completely badass, its obvious Bungie created this concept art for Halo 4 (as it was on the drawing board before reach)
Think about it, if Bungie was pushing forerunner combat skins, maybe they really wanted forerunners to be the main enemy (or even ally) in Halo 4.[/url]
So, theory time. Bungie clearly wanted concept art for forerunner armour.
Probably for Halo 4.
Since this is a pushed idea, Bungie probably has this idea locked somewhere in the Halo story bible.
Now this may sound stupid,[u][i] [b]but perhaps MC was meant to get his hands on this forerunner combat skin?[/b][/u][/i] An extremely stupid but somewhat possible idea. Just to let you know, Forerunner CS's are at least 5x stronger then spartan armour as stated by spark. If forerunners are the enemy in the game, MC would not stand 1 chance against fighting them unless he has this armour. Likewise, of forerunners are the main ally in the game, wouldn't they provide MC with this armour to replace the comparably outdated MJOLNIR Mark VI?
Cortana already has extensive knowledge on forerunner tech and may be able to help MC use the armour.
[quote][quote][quote][b][i]1) Do you think bungie meant for MC to get this forerunner combat skin upgrade to fight the new threat, perhaps later on in the halo 4 campaign?[/b][/i]
and[b][i] 2) Do you think this confirms Bungie wanted forerunners in Halo 4?[/b][/i][/quote][/quote][/quote]
[url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Forerunner]Here's the wiki page. Anyone who says its from the Halo 2 special edition is mistaken, this page shows the picture but does not list the Halo 2 DVD in the sources section.[/url]

I don't think MC will get this armor in Halo 4. He has new armor in the teaser, maybe some Mark VII Prototype that has the same shield strength (they'll make it seem like it's at the original shield strength as awlays, but it's really much stronger). But yeah, what about multiplayer? If that's what a Forerunner will look like, then we won't need to introduce Elites again, We can use those! 343 should release some pics of Forerunner armor. We could use them in Multiplayer, that would be awesome. The design also fits in with Halo pretty well, it isn't too far fetched. Very good.
-
I'm not sure if they would give him this skin... Master chief is known for his armour... I'm not so sure 343 would change what has become such a symbol of halo. maybe if you're right about fighting an enemy of the forerunners then they'll upgrade his armour or something... i just don't think he'd get this armour. it's sick though

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Pipboy 3050 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Nyxiz [i]"We are building a consensus, please try again later."[/i] Couldn't resist.[/quote] Wait, did that actually come up?[/quote] Lol! If you didn't play Mass Effect 2, you won't get it. Look up 'Geth' on an image search. They look a lot alike. And I remember seeing this before, but never thought much of it. Forerunners in Halo 4. What an idea.
-
Come to think of it, this does make sense. Why would Bungie create concept art for Forerunner combat skin when they were making Reach. BUT, it should be noted that supposidly Bungie was going to make Halo 4 but they decided instead to do Reach. Maybe this is just left over concept art from the original plan.
-
Halo 4, the world where Mass Effect 2 and Halo collide. Kudos to you if you understand. A lot of people SHOULD receive Kudos... [Edited on 06.16.2011 4:52 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CLAYsomeMOAR [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Slamtastic50mg that is from the dvd on halo 2 special edition.[u][b] its concept art that eventually led to elites. nothing to do with forerunners.[/u][/b] on the dvd it is not colored in but is undeniably the same alien figure.[/quote] Idiot. Get out of the Universe forums; learn your stuff, and then come back.[/quote] no need to be hostile. ive watched the dvd bonus recently. that pic was in it, non colored, and they said it was concept art for the covenant.
-
That looks a lot like a Geth from Mass Effect. But to answer your question, I really don't know. Maybe they just wanted to give an idea of what a forerunner looks like.
-
It looks like a Geth. I'm sure they had concept art for a lot of things that weren't put into the games. They probably will put that into Halo 4, most likely as a Forerunner who survived somehow that MC has to meet up with.
-
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if around Halo 2 bungie already knew exactly what the general story for everything that happened post halo 3 was. Would not be surprised if everything they are doing now with 343, bungie already laid the groundwork for before they even started working on Halo 3.
-
Looks cool, but would be kind of neat if it looked like Mjolnir.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheGreenAlloy Someone could have left that source out, just saying.[/quote] I'd rather choose Halo wiki over a random guy on the forums :) Also, posting stuff, especially pictures on the wiki usually requires sources. [Edited on 06.16.2011 12:43 PM PDT]

Is there a page with more concept art on it?
-
I'm gonna jizz everywhere if you get to play Master Chief in Forerunner armor for Halo4
-
I believe they originally wanted to do halo 4 but decided to do reach instead.

Random fact: 343 confirmed to be using a tweaked reach engine for halo4 [url=http://xbox-360.nowgamer.com/news/6303/halo-4-engine-isnt-100-per-cent-new-microsoft]link is here[/url]. [Edited on 06.16.2011 9:40 AM PDT]

hmm looks interesting, although i'd rather 343 to use their own concept design now because i was looking forward to seeing what the forerunners would actually look like when Halo 4 comes out (surprise me 343i) oh well also you said if the forerunners become allies they may lend the chief some forerunner armour wich is apparently 5x stronger than master chiefs, personally i'd rather be fighting them :D and hopefully this is were master chiefs new armour comes into place and can compete with the forerunner armour.
-
Very cool looking. Almost and elite mixed with geth from Mass Effect.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] raganok99 Yeah, Forerunner Combat Skin would be awesome to wear but they'd have to balance it unless they learn a lesson from Crytek where you can use abilities of super solider... Maybe. And teaser trailer isn't canon, which his armor is mere representative how it would have looked. IN-game trailer will likely to be different. However, I'm willing bet to that John gets to wear Forerunner Combat Skin since his MJOLNIR is inferior to Forerunners (If they're enemy) also to Flood. [/quote] I know the trailer isn't canon, but I think the main reason for it was to pump up the fans and show them what MC would look like. As for balance, I can only assume that UNSC weapons are no longer dominant, and Forerunner weapons are. Since Forerunner weaponry is a hell of a lot stronger than UNSC Firearms and Covenant Plasma-tech, it makes sense for John to have a stronger shield system. And campaign wise, if my theory were to be true, the integration would probably combine MJOLNIR shield strength with Forerunner shield strength. Wait, does Combat Skin [i]have[/i] shields? If not, then overall durability I suppose.

Call me radical and stupid, but look at the torso. It has some slight resemblance to Chiefs new torso, and his new look has a more compact, smooth design on the sides of his torso. That concept art could be changed later on by 343i too. You can also looks at the contours of the Combat Skin and compare it to Chief's new armor design. It's somewhat plausible that he integrated pieces of MJOLNIR armor (probably major components for the system to work, and whatever armor plating that is seen in the trailer) with this Combat Skin, dumped the helmet and the Dead Space 2-esque shin/knee guards, and replaced the Samus Aran hand pieces with more preferred gauntlets. There is a snowball's chance in hell that he could have combined his MJOLNIR armor with Forerunner Combat Skin, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless.[/quote] Yeah, Forerunner Combat Skin would be awesome to wear but they'd have to balance it unless they learn a lesson from Crytek where you can use abilities of super solider...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SSgt Shapiro Combat skin would be awesome to wear... Maybe in Halo 5 or 6 they'll do it. [/quote] i highly doubt it. if they did, 343i would go down in history as the company that caused the most heart attacks in teens EVER.

This makes sense to me, but I don't have extensive knowledge of the Halo Universe; specifically the Forerunner aspects, so I might not see any contradictions in this thread as opposed to someone [i]with[/i] the knowledge. It makes sense though, because sooner or later he'd be on that forerunner planet and would probably have to adapt his armor and weapons. I don't want to say the MJOLNIR is going to run out of power b/c I think it's near limitless due to the micro-fusion reactor on the back, but at the least: It has to crap out sometime from all the damage it's taken... Combat skin would be awesome to wear... Maybe in Halo 5 or 6 they'll do it. I doubt it'd be Halo 4 though, they released that E3 trailer to show what he'd look like for the majority of the game. ...Unless, that [i]is[/i] forerunner combat skin, just modified to Master Cheif's/Human preferences O: As for weapons [slightly off-topic], I'm fine with no human weapons. People should accept it as a possibility, and embrace the fact that forerunner weapons are just so much more bad-ass.
