in the e3 SP tralier i'd say yes the first one was better, but after seeing them MP vid, and the camera circling the spartan new mark vi, it looks sweet. More like a man, less like a machine, although i guess in the books the spartans were known to be somewhat "unhuman"

I think the Mark VI looks alot better. Offers better protection while making a smaller target AND increasing speed and jumping. That's more than bad ass. That's Halo bad ass.

i think the armor evolves like this:

Mark 1: what marines are currently wareing only becuase its light enough for non-spartans to ware, and still provides good protection.

Mark2: and upgrade of the mark1 giving a full hemet, thicker armor, and heat resistant mesh covering the joints, hands and other spaces inbetween armor plating.

Mark3: adding even more plates and thicker armor, as well as heavyer mesh, the Mark3 provides heavy protection against many things however proves to be to heavy and is passed up.

Mark4: using new tech harvested from an elite they make the mark 3 lighter and provide more protection. it looks like the mark5 however it dose not have any shielding (or back pack).

Mark5: the mark5 incorperates over shield tech into its Mark4 design creating a powerfull and fairly light armor, for a spartan. however it proves to be rather bulky.

Mark6: by expanding on shield tech and armor samples of a hunter shield the humans are able to creat a much more ideal armor, allowing for more menuverablilty with added streangth, this is currently the armor used by spartans.

mark2.5: the armor used by ODTS's that uses some of the tech of the mark6, providing more protection than the mark2 and 1 versions wile still being light enough for non-spartans soldiers.
