So we all know that the blue armor shown in the beta trailer is Fred's. Now what bothers me about his armor in both this trailer and in the Halo Escalation comics is that the style of the Mark VI is the same as Master Chief's upgraded armor in Halo 4. Shouldn't the armor of blue team be similar to the type of armor seen in Halo 2, 3, and Reach? It seems as if 343 has been putting their own spin on the Spartan II armor ever since the opening cutscene of Halo 4. It seems very contradictory that they're keeping Master Chief's armor the same in Halo 2 Anniversary. Are there any lore explanations for what's going on?
