The mark VI armour looks more chunky, and beasty than the last. I wonder how he managed to grab a new set of threads while on the way to earth to save its sorry ass??


What are you talking about the Mark V makes Chief look like a tin can with extra bulk, the Mark VI makes MC look the Kick-ass Bad-ass he really is.

I prefer the mark VI BUT i would've liked to have seen the Mark V in the same graphical style as halo 2 because then i might reconsider (ie really good graphics original chief)

I think the mark VI helmet looks better, the visor on the Mk V looks.....strange. I like the extra detail on the new armour, it looks more realistic. and if you're wondering where the MC got his new kit you should read the halo novels.

I've tried, Jiminy! Oh how I've tried. My hand is a withered claw!

Then you're a -blam!-. And you'll get the -blam!- ending you deserve.

How exactly does the "mark VI armour look more chunky, and beasty than the last"? I just can't see that at all. Maybe you have them mixed up. Mark VI is way better, streamlined, and badass-

"Master Chief doesn't look like a little featherweight polygonal mesh. He looks like a 400-pound cybernetic characteer who is gonna kick your ass" - Art Lead Marcus Lehto

That quote is about the Mark VI armor. Mark V looks like a swollen, clunky tin man.

I liked the Mark V better as well. It actually looked bulky enough to stop a plasma bolt and the backpack was large enough that it looked like there could be a fusion reactor in it. I don't know what Bungie was talking about when they said they wanted him to look more like a guy in a suit, he already did.

Also, the Mark VI makes him look like a Power Ranger in a dirt bike competition.

I like the Mark VI, but the Mark V will always be my fav. I haven't read the book where he gets it, though. I like big and cumbersome. I like the book (book I said, the movie was a disgrace) Starship Troopers where the powered armor looked like "big, steel gorillas". Bigger is better, at least IMO.

I prefer the Mark VI, but they both look cool.

I also like the old suit.

Maybe, if you beat all the levels on Heroic, you unlock one one them, and all the levels on legendary you unlock the other. Which one in which order, I don't care, but it would be cool either way.

Maybe even unlock the old elite suit vs the new one. And, if there was one, they REALLY old elite suit, but I don't know if there were any elites back when Halo was on the PC.

Mark VI is cooler and less bulkier, It's the armor of the Future--rama.

Are you serious? Go play MP or co-op Halo 1, look at the Chief, then go look at the one of a milllion Halo 2 pics.

Mark VI is going to be lots better than mark V because it is more powerful it has better details and is smaller which is more realistic and you can design it

More realistic is a poor argument because this is science-fiction. If anyone here thinks we'll still be using standard bullets in the year 2552 raise your hand. The armor doesn't have to be realistic because this is a game. Beside when we have fusion technology (we have H-bombs, but we haven't truly harnessed fusion as of yet) I'll bet we'll just make bigger bombs and not powered battle suits.
