Spartan5511 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Okay, I know everyone is asking a lot of questions 'bout the MC's new kit. 343 said that some of the changes were just visibly improved due to graphics and the "newer better" look that Halo always does. However, they did say that there would be a concrete reason for the change, and I think I may have found it. This is an excerpt from Halo: Glasslands, after Naomi has finished putting on her Mjolnir armor: *Note: this is an exact copy from the book, I have it right next to me* Chapter 9: approximate pg. 213: "Hey, you know that suit maintains and upgrades itself when she's in cryo? It's all nanotech." If this is correct, then some of the drastic changes in the Chief's suit could be from it upgrading itself, after all, he has been in cryo for quite some time. Just a theory, post your opinions. -5511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTallmidgeT24 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 i read glasslands and i read about that but i didnt really think about that too much. it would be cool if that was the case. it would give people an idea on how/why the master chiefs armor changed.

ShockGazm Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hmmm. that's quite interesting. It would make sence on why his suit looks different, if 343i give us an explanation why and what you said turns out to be the answer then that's another mystery question answered.

Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Great explanation, and great find, well done Of course, 343i could choose to come up with other reasons, but I'm sure whatever it is it will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good Idea However... No, it can't be. There's no one to actually upgrade it, no one there that is authorized to create blue-prints. But, Cortana could have made the upgrades! I heavily doubt Cortana has the ability to do this, maybe chief got out of cyro for a roam around to find more stuff after a year? There's a chance that experimental BPOs exsisted on Dawn, Cortana could have found those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 All I know is, his armor implies humanity being withered away. Quite chilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're saying makes sense, but from what I'm getting from Glasslands, my guess is the suit adapts and/or upgrades itself with known ordnance, such as the jetpack. Also, by the way she said it in the book, it doesn't seem like it needs blueprints, it just does what it wants. It's a self maintaining suit.

Well, I may have a idea, maybe the forward unto dawn was still receiving signals but not sending them and then the forward unto dawn uploaded them into a occupied cryotube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Or maybe Cortana got bored and had to do something so she updated the Chief's armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman35 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 how exactly is chief ment to get new armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bman35 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 like i know it's nano tech but can't it be spartan 4 armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 how exactly is chief ment to get new armour? If the nanotech used in Halo is like the nanotech proposed today, then the nanobots can self-replicate near infinitely, meaning armour could be changed with no effort.

Archangel Tyrael Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, we will just wait and see, Probably is NanoTech, or Masterchiefs armor gets upgraded by AI, or theres some sort of ally there to aid you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLebowski Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I dont care too much how it happened, all I know is that the new Chief model looks seriously badass. Yet one more reason why I am cautiously optimistic that 343 is going to do this thing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Spartan IV armor, it's still the same Mjiolnir from Halo 3, but the nano-tech in the suit changes the design and features in a self-upgrade process, at least that's what the theory in this thread is. Also try not to double post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itz JoshE Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I don't like the idea that chief is a spartan 2 but the multiplayer ones are spartan 4s it will make chief out of date. Mabye chief was injected in cryo to be a spartan 4. afterall the armour looke similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a live dinosaur Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Wouldn't it be sick if Chief started with his original Halo 3 armor at the start, and later through the video got his armor upgrade somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabye chief was injected in cryo to be a spartan 4. afterall the armour looke similar The Chief is and always will be one of a kind. The Spartan 3s were no where near being as advanced as the 2s, the 3s were cheaper and basically cannon fodder. My theory is, since the 4s are all adults (they weren't abducted as kids) then they're not as advanced as the chief either, who has been fighting his whole life. Wouldn't it be sick if Chief started with his original Halo 3 armor at the start, and later through the video got his armor upgrade somewhere? That would be cool, and who will know until the game hits stores. But they way it looks is that the armor upgrades in cryo, and the Chief has been in cryo for several years.

aeRusch117 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The nanobots most likely upgrade it for whatever reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan5511 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I mean it's most likely self-thinking/sustaining right? So the nanobots could theoretically do whatever they want in cryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
