Video-game physics, why does the same armor that fits a Tauren, also fit a Gnome?AdjectiveAnimal said:

If I remember correctly, the arbiter from halo 2 and 3 was told every arbiter before him had died. Now Im guessing a few weren't just shot and killed, considering covie weapons are plamsa based, I dont think vaporization of arbiters was uncommon. So I think they just made back up armor sets, anticipating such deaths.
Does it really bother you that much?
The Brutes are seen oh Harvest yet you never see them in Halo: CE.
Truth's ship uncouples itself from High Charity's power grid yet it can still perform a slipspace jump to the Ark.
It happens alot in games and I'm sure there's more serious things to worry about.

The question is more pertaining to the actual story instead of the in-game physics.Kirosilence said:
In reference to "same armour as everybody before him" i presume its, "same in design" like a uniform.halopedia said:
Considering that each arbiter before the other was violently killed, since arbiters were pretty much sent on suicide missions. Each time the arbiter was killed, the armour was recovered so wouldn't it be reasonable for it to be recovered now?
The only question that remains is how..

Making a less than effective "traditional" armour over and over again would help the prophets greatly in making sure the Arbiter would die in the name of the covenant, especially if the elite got too used to his fancy pants new armour and was too dependant on it.Pyronox said:
Woohoo I totally figured it out.
and then Master Chief gets trapped by the prophets and blasted by gamma rays, at night turning into a Wolf.urprobablyright said:
Halo Unleashed, night of the Were-Chief.
In which the Were-Chief struggles with his urges to chomp on his fellow space marines, and becomes addicted to the taste of Hunter-flesh(or goo) which becomes a primary factor for storyline advancement of the next game, as he would need to feast on a specific number of Hunters before being allowed do the next mission from Seargent Johnson II.....ColdStorage said:
in halo 2 you see how many Arbiters came before him. but the cenimatics actually show they used the same character design as halo 2 and 3 its lazy i would of thought they come up with something better
Yeah, but it wasn't like they didn't know what it was. I think it was just supposed to be the first time most of the marines had seen one.Satansixsix said:
I'm pretty sure Johnson says something like, "We've all run the simulations, scarabs are tough but they ain't invincible. Follow Master Chief, he'll know what to do."
Dreck put it very well, and PirateKing gave us another option, so we now have 3. One, it was a metaphor; it was only the same because it looks the same and it is the same type. Two, the armor is completly invinsible, but is poor at defending the wearer, or three, the prophets lied.
The 2nd and 3rd make sence, so they get my vote equally.

Simple, Bingie weren't involved in the plot,development or anything else to do with this. As such the attention to story detail and canon is non existant.IsoNeko said:
Just think of Halo Wars as the first Mario style spin off and then the entire plot will make sense.
Halo wars is non-cannon. The studio itself said this. It's simply "this is what we think would have been cool to happen".
Another clue to this: You see the Flood during the campaign. The Flood, a race you supposedly discover on the first installation in Halo: CE. There are a few more but thats the basics.

Better question, does it truely matter? The answer may shock you: No, no it doesn't. The armor looks awsome, but the cloacking ability in multiplayer for him is stupid, you can see his swords at all times...
Quoted for massive truthery. There are two answers, really, that I could give in response to this question- the first is, they've got many multiple copies of the armor and it's symbolic, or they somehow managed to recover the Arbiter armor after the marines and everyone basically tossed it on the ground.cball11 said:
Eh, the Prophets are all liars anyway, so take what they say canonically with a grain of salt.
