Halo Infinite confuses me.

Apparently it's a Master Chief story but his armor is anachronistic for it to take place at any point in time that isn't covered by Halo 2 or 3. That armor was put on in the opening scene of 2 and stays that way until the end of 3.

It's just an art style change.

He still wears that armor when he goes into cryosleep at the end of 3, but when he wakes up in 4 it's completely different because 343 wanted to throw their own art style at the series, and it was almost universally negatively received.

Here's an excerpt from the post they made after the trailer:

Its hard to believe that 343 Industries was formed just over a decade ago. Over the years, the team has learned a lot from creating Halo 4 and Halo 5 and from you, our community. I hope you can see nods to some of that in our demo, such as the approach to some visual elements. Halo Infinite will feature Sparths (Art Director, Nicolas Bouvier) new art style that draws significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise and your feedback, all while modernizing and taking advantage of the full power of the Xbox One family. The new Master Chief helmet directly showcases our new art style.

The team also heard feedback loud and clear on the amount of time spent playing as the Master Chief in Halo 5. In Halo Infinite, the game will focus on the Master Chief and continue his saga after the events of Halo 5.
