Doesnt make sense how the S3's can be 20+ years old.

It does make sense. At least, for the LT. Apparently he\she survived OPERATION: TORPEDO, which was when the UNSC sent 300 Spartan-III's to Pegasi Delta, in 2545. The Battle of Reach occurs in 2552, so say the LT was 15 during the operation, and did infact survive, that would make him 22 at the time of the Battle of Reach. I can't say the same about the other four because we don't know anything about their origins.
Knife-attacks seem too COD-ish. I felt instant-kill melees from behind were good enough. Elite looks cartoony; could just be the lighting or something. Also, the Needler-rifle looks retarded, and sounds redundant compared to the carbine; probably explains why the Covenant would stop using them.
I don't like the new elites shown in GI, they look very low-res (like H1).
I'm still confused on if equipment is still in or if its been replaced by armor abilities.
Equipment is out, armor abilities are in. Which is a bit better since you can keep on using theme. Though its odd how one of the abilities is "sprinting".
I'm pretty sure you're constantly running in the games, so I've never really felt the need to go faster. Probably just an experiment to see how fans take it, trying to blur the lines between Halo and CoD.
All the Spartan III groups died in big operations not on Reach. A Covenant refueling depot in 2545 killed all of the second group. The third group was still on Onyx when it disintegrated, and that takes place in late 2552 or early 2553. There is no space in there for Spartan-IIIs to be on Reach. Period. Either they retcon something or these are Spartan-IIs that we don't know about (and there were plenty). If it's the former, that makes it sloppy, and that's what some of us are complaining about. That and the shitty-looking armour (and weapons, and vehicles). It's not the colours so much as the proportions...again.
Actually, you should just stop because just about every post involving Halo-lore you have ever made has either been wrong through lack of sufficient information or deduced by faulty logic. Quit while you are ahead. Go read the books and inform yourself (again if you already have).
On to other things: does that magazine say what generation of Spartan they are? Judging by the numbers, I'm inclined to say III (sloppy Bungie, real sloppy), but you never know.
Never mind. We are Spartan-IIIs...again, I say shame on you Bungie.

Who gives a crap? Fun game and story > staying consistent with every detail from a vague, tangentially-related book? All of Nylund's books have contradictions or stupid plot-points best left ignored.Uhh you can still see a multitude of things that totally break previous canon. Face the facts KM, the Bungie that made the Halo we remember is dead. Stop sucking their dicks so much.
I don't think anyone expects a literal Halo 1 carryover on a new engine and set on Reach...but comon, how can you SERIOUSLY be defending Bungie on this latest crap?
Consistency is all I'm asking for and, previous to Halo Wars, we had a pretty consistent set of canon and rules concerning Halo.
Oh I'm sorry, was there something else I was supposed to reference? Do you really think that if I viewed those garbage designs in a slightly higher resolution that they would suddenly endear themselves to me? The game might be still in the making, but things like this are what people are going to base their first impressions on. I'm not impressed.
