"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

Posted by: Spartankilljoy
Has anyone even seen a decent picture of the SPI? I mean its among my favorite armors and I've yet to see this beautiful concept come to its full use
/I'm afraid the picture on the GoOnyx cover is the only one..I think.

Spartan Armor set: Class-12
Remember in the second halo book, The Flood how spark said something about the task needing at least a class-12 combat skin? Well...
Helmet: Large visor, the sort of metallic silver color 343 guilty spark is, that wraps around about 270 degrees. Two metal ridges that start above the eyes circle around over the top of the head to the back, and after they reach the midpoint of the back of the head, about where MC has the slot for Cortana, they'd seperate from the helmet and continue downward, thinning until they stop at a point equal to the bottom of the neck. These protrusions would be the secondary armor color.

Shoulder: rather that plating, more like a sort of mesh weave that has small wires visible running through it if you look close enough. like zoom in 10x with the sniper rifle right next to the person's shoulder. Over the mesh weave, would be a semitranslucent (sorta see-through) crystal looking plating, or rather, three plates, seperated to allow maximum mobility. these plates would be the primary color, while the mesh would be the secondary.

Body: Forerunner symbol dead-center, the inlay that is between all the blockyness the secondary color Sort of spikes protruding from the back, like the hunter's, but thinner, not reaching as far back, and immoble. These would also be the secondary color.

Descriptions:
Helmet: The Class-12 combat skin is apparently overly ornate, but the enhanced field of vision and still-active systems make it a valuable asset to the UNSC.
Shoulders: Photoreactive panels by design, these still retain their basic function of being armor. However the UNSC has yet to recreate the technology shown in this "Combat Skin".
Body: Discovered in 2543, the Class-12 combat skin is far superior to the standard issue Spartan MLJONIR armor. However, the internal systems are a mystery to the top minds, and it can only be powered up to a level equivilant to the current MLJONIR armor.

Hieratic armor

The Armor should effect how well you are damaged and how quick you can move

that would give boosters an advantage, and most likely would screw up the balance of the game

if the graphics and processing power could keep up.. it would be awesome to include maybe some kind of ninja hood deal.. with some kind of bandage flapping around in the wind. that would be pimp.
be something like ninja gaiden or something

Okay, I finished the sketches, check main post.

What, all those Half-Jaws (Ship Master)? Or do you mean the messed up permutation where it's really just two different heads at once, Combat and Assault?

Also,

Elite

Name : Priest
Helmet : Rounded top with half-halos running from the middle-front to the back, about 6 of them. The two in the middle go past the back of the helmet and are the largest and widest, the two beside those reach the end of the helmet and are thinner and smaller. The ones on the side are the less wide and also reach the end of the helmet.
Description : Issued to the Sangheili priests. The priest armor is a major sign of respect.
Shoulders : Similar to the Spartan Scout shoulders, except the once plate is replaces with four smaller, curves plates. The two outer plates form a Halo and almost touch each other at the top.
Description : As Sangheili in the Covenant became priests, new armor was designed to be able to distinguish them from the warriors.
Body : Whole front covered by a smooth, curved plate with Forerunner symbols on it. Two glowing Halos are found at the top of the chest, one on each middle-end of the plate.
Description : With the reunion of the different races of the Covenant, some warriors became priests. They had very high clearance before the Covenant Civil War.

Pretty cool idea! Its well thought out, and i think you should make a sketch for it.

  • 11.29.2007 4:46 AM PDT

I'll see if I can sketch it, I'm already sketching another Elite armor right now.

What do you think Hayabusa armour is? It's not a coincidence that it's the surname of the hero of the Ninja Gaiden series.

What would be cool is if Bungie added an update that allowed people to create their own polygon meshes for new armor and upload it through bungie.net. and there really aren't animation issues because the reason we are allowed customization is that that permutations are applied to a figure that is already rigged for the animations. This would allow the halo community to show their individualism and creativity.


There's no way in hell they'd do that, people would abuse it so bad.
