yes, it would be sooo awsome if it was a twist, but this doc.
Link it says that it is master chief, but the reason why he looks so diffrent is because he has been through hellish battles and they can finally show all the little details.
(Quote)-Bungie revealed that the game would have a new "materials system" so advanced that "you could see light reflect off the ground and onto his armor", which will be able to "[show] the difference between his armor and the rubber undersuit". The site also includes that "It's so detailed that if you bring the camera close to the Master Chief's visor, you see everything in front of him reflected in it, right down to the ammo counter in his rifle" [17]. In addition, there would be new advanced texturing to reflect permanent, persistent damage.
-• The new model of Master Chief is so detailed that you can see the ammo count on his visor if you get close enough
-Because of speculation as to the identity of the Spartan shown in the trailer, Bungie has confirmed that it is the Master Chief. (end of quotes)
so what your seeing isnt a diffrent spartan, what your seeing is master Chief xbox 360 style!
