Why the Grunts look different in Halo 4 - 343is Answer

[quote][quote]Query:Do Unggoy in Jul 'Mdama's covenant remnant belong to a certain subspecies or are they genetically bred?[/quote] Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] records found in accessible [frumentarii] cores do not indicate extensive [genecraft] modifications by [Covenant] [Lifeworkers]. Rudimentary [forensic] analysis of indexed [monachus frigus] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [Lifeworkers] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection.[/quote] Simplification 1 [quote]Human [scientist] records found in accessible [ONI] cores do not indicate extensive [genetic] modifications by [Covenant] [scientist]. Rudimentary [Forensic] analysis of indexed [Unggoy] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [scientists] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones.

[/quote] Simplification 2 [quote]ONI records do not indicate extensive genetic tampering of Grunt genetics by Covenant scientists. Quick analysis of indexed Grunts along with human studies show non-standard exterior variability, in addition to conclusive evidence of hardy makeup in selected Grunt soldiers which are known to originate from specific breeding locations. This indicated either prolonged genetic drift in populations existing in unfavorable conditions or induced selection.[/quote] There you go.

    Halo 4 is a reboot sequel. The visuals [and other things, like gameplay and game engine] complement the reboot aspect, while the story is a sequel because it's a continuation of the saga. The attempt to explain the visual difference for the character models to fit in canon just waters down the quality of the Halo universe. [because it is a forced explanation, done to appease transition rather than to appeal to quality] In the end, Halo is science-[u]fiction.[/u] Everything is made up and can be subject to change anytime. Depending on the writers and artist involved. So honestly, there's very little to be found in searching for a legit answer to why Halo 4 is the way it is [in terms of armour, character etc] compared to the past games.
