Subject: Analysis of 5 Silhouettes. 1 Spartan, 4 Marines.

Actually, now that I look at these guys, I realise that they look a lot like the marines from the first Halo Wars teaser. So maybe these are all normal marines and the dude on the left is the only actual Spartan?

From this picture we can see that the Spartans have the same helmet as the guy on the left:

And here is a normal marine from Halo Wars:

I think it looks very similar to the guys we see to the right of the big guy. The helmets looks very similar in my opinion.

Now look at the middle guys left arm ( the one that's not holding the weapon), see how there is like a piece of armour at the elbow?

Now look at this picture:

As you can see these 2 designs are completely different. The middle guy in the picture looks like he has cloth or some kind of material between the pieces of armour on his arms, while the Spartan in the pic above does not.

theres so many of these threads already... and people are convinced the largest one isn't an elite

I want to know how an alien is supposed to wear armour designed for human beings.

Seriously, the guy on the far left is most probably a Spartan wearing either an older version of the MJOLNIR armour (Perhaps the Mk 3 - the older ones were much bulkier than the Mk's 4-6), or an upgraded variant of the Mk 4 or 5. There is some evidence to support this, as the knee joints on all the characters' armour have short spikes jutting from both sides, including the one on the far left. More evidence that this is not an elite is the fact that the elites were still pissed off with us during the Battle of Reach, and were not our allies.

And the guy in the middle doesn't look like he's holding a Battle Rifle... it could be a BR, but it's most probably a variant of the MA5 Assault Rifle that we just haven't seen yet, or the image just doesn't show it like it appears ingame.

Still, we've yet to see more information on the game yet, so nobody can know for sure.

It isn't an elite, if you look at the new blown up version in the weekly update you can tell it isn't.

if you look closley the last one on the right have a backpack or something, SPARTANs lead backpack ? maybe that whit the sniper rifle is a marine and then does not seem to have a helmet like SPARTANs but like marines and he legs don't have armor but simple trousers.




sorry for the errors the english is not my mother language.

"If buttered toast lands buttered side down, and cats always land on their feet, then what happens when you attach buttered toast to the back of a cat?

my evaluation of the image

EDIT: it is kinda small, just copy and paste to paint and enlarge it.

Pretty good stuff. I just have two problems with it. the smaer one is that i just don't see why a spartan would be holding a knife or machete. but meh, you never know. The bigger one is number 2. It's very directly stated in one of the books that when in armor it is impossible to tell a male spartan from a female. They are both genetically enhanced and so are just as large. Only other spartans coud recognize gender through the armor. kinda like a mother not being confused by her twin children. the spartans could ony tell each other apart by manerisms like how they walk and move. because of this i'm pretty sure your wrng on the second one.

i know but look an ODST image, they have the same thing on the head of this "SPARTANs" (?) i think than the guy in the middle and the two on the right are not SPARTANs, i am sure than the last on the right not are a SPARTAN but a marine or something

soon i will get my xbl account back and and rejoin the halo ranks

I did this up for a theory and most of the armor fit perfect with it, the helm could be a possible variant.

This is really cool and quite convincing, but these guys just don't look bulky enough to me to look like Spartans after seeing the pictures of marines from Halo Wars.

yes and the guy with the sniper rifle have the same microphone on face like the marines of halo wars, another thing, the SR (sniper rifle) is too much big for that "SPARTAN"

Ok, look at the middle guys left arm ( the one that's not holding the weapon), see how there is like a piece of armour at the elbow?

from the images I saw because i do not read the book or the grapich novel, I understood that spartan women are similar, in body tipe and height. the second from the left is not a SPARTAN too

Yeah, it looks like they are all a different height, further convincing me that they are not Spartans except for the big guy on the right.
