Subject: Return of the Mark V armor?

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Looks like this is gonna take place right before Halo 1, so does that mean that we get to see (and hopefully play in) the MK V armor? That would be so sweet.

No its more like Mark IV Because Master Cheif was the 1st one to test Mark V

What are we to expect from Mark IV? Is this the one that has no shields? If so can we expect Health Packs to maintain a health bar or is this going to be a tactical game like Rainbow Six?

Personally, I wouldn't mind the return of the raw gameplay from Halo:CE. Let's rid the community of average gamers that enjoyed Halo 2 and Halo 3's user friendly controls.

Max likes Mark IV. Mark IV is beast mode.

Well in Halo Wars the Spartans had shields (And yes I know Halo Wars was not made by Bunige but still...) but maybe the shields are weaker.

Except there are supposed to be no shields on MK IV armor.

Its Only Natural.

If you read the book Hall: Fall of Reach, you'd know that all spartans were outfitted with the Mark V armor at least 3 months before the Covenant invaded and the battle for Reach took place. So they're in the Mark V Armor. *Ends Armor Speculations* but the Mark IV definitely looks cooler...
