Grunt, the trainers had to be connected to a portable fusion power supply via cables to operate the exoskeletons. That's not a very efficient design, and were not used in combat situations for the lack of mobility. Those exosuits were primarily used for heavy lifting in loading docks and in warehouse environments. They were only used in training Spartan II's because the trainers could not match Spartans in physical strength, and would lead to injures to trainers with out them.
Well maybe it's an upgrade from those suits, a sorta 1.5? I dunno :p
Wait, what power supply does MJOLNIR use? Maybe the old prototypes got an upgrade? A quick way to get more armour out in the field?
I'm just saying because, in my opinion, it's the best idea out there. The Covenant aren't gonna be allying with the humans, that much is obvious. And even if that was just a main character shot, Covenant would NEVER use Human weaponry...
Hold on...
Well, it's mentioned in 'The Fall of Reach' I think that a Jackel would fight bare handed instead of use a human weapon BUT in 'The Flood' an Elite uses a human pistol to kill the bridge crew of the PoA, then remarks on how primitive it is...But I still doubt they'd use it when they could easily use Covenant weapons...
