Cortana used nanobots on the Dawn to modify Chief's Mark VI. He is wearing the same armor he was wearing in Halo 2/3. Aesthetically, it resembles a variant of Mark IV, but the Halo 2/3 version resembles another variant of Mark IV, and CE Mark V resembles yet another variant of Mark IV.

Do you think nanobots could have done slight adaptations on Chief's armor between 2 & 3? You notice the hand guards remain square in the current version of Halo 2 Anniversary. This could be speculated as pre-nanobot modification. Though it's apparent Chief doesn't have a smart ai. But this probably just different art styles between games.

Between 2 and 3? No, Cortana was not with him, and I doubt there was anything on the Forerunner Dreadnaught that would have been able to do so. I doubt there is a canon reason for any differences between his armor in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

I would make the same assumption. Were the nanobots a feature of Dawn or did they exist on the armor itself?
