The quote from the first scene is Cortana saying "I rewrote your suit's firmware while you were out." Suggesting she upgraded the software used to operate the suit, and did not give him new armor. I was hoping for some sort of explanation for the radical change in armor style, but 343 is playing this off like it's supposed to be the armor he's worn the whole time, which kind of bugs me too since they spearheaded Halo CEA, and gave John very distinctly graphically improved MK V style armor.
However, I agree with Hyokenseisou; IMO, the good outweighs the bad, so I'm pleased for the most part. Still not completely satisfied with the ending, though.
