Subject: Recon Replacement *Confirmed*

i ams da PWNEMASTER101!!!

you have no idea what your talking about EVA is space armor! SPI is nothing like it, the helmet just looks similar , EVA stands for Extra Vehicular Activity and is a variant of Mark VI MJLONIR armor, SPI stands for Semi Powered Infiltration and is used by spartan III's, EVA armor focuses on increasing exo-atmospheric endurance and improving mobility in zero gravity without the original use of back thrusters got it? before you start saying things that arn't true?

...Actuall, sorry to burst your bubble guys but thats an early version of the EVA armor. It was only a prototype then but it was EVA.

The helmet looks similar to the EVA helmet. If this is true, I think it's a great idea to give the community something new to strive for.

yea but MJOLNIR armor can't go active camo at will SPI can
Posted by: Masterr_Chieff
Even if it had shields, It's still ugly and it still sucks, its the Economy version rip-off of Mjolnir, made from cheaper materials, Mass Produced, I am not about that, SPI is teh SUX0RZ

Oh and..

That armor looks stupid ever since i saw it when i bought the book i thought it looked retared

No one would want to earn that Armor if that was the replacement for Recon


I agree infinitybrazillion percent

I think EVA was visually based on SPI.

The two are close enough that I don't see why Bungie would use SPI as an incentive to be awesome in the community. It's basically EVA... but a little different.

So a random member that has no actual proof, yet declares confirmation of a fact about a game not out for over a year with claims that they know someone who works for Bungie. That is what this thread is about.

I don't say "fail thread is fail" because I'm not sure what it is meant to reference or why bad grammar is humorous in this case. I do say that this thread is meaningless, and I hope that the topic creator has gotten the attention he or she wanted.

Hey, Listen Sucka! Listen Jack! You ain't nothin' but a piece a cheese without the corners! In other words you ain't neva gonna be a slice, bieatch!

SPI is..for lack of a better term, the Ghetto Version of MJOLNIR

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I know that when Halo: Reach comes out they'll have an alternative to recon.
SPI Armor

Many Loyal Halo fans might know what it is
For those who don't here's a link
SPI Armor
It is called EVA armor.

Eva was designed for low gravity situations, not infiltration.
Yep. But in the Game Informer articles on Halo 3 before it came out (the ones with the armor permutation covers) one of the designers said that EVA armor was a tribute to SPI armor.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Dude, Spartan IIIs rock so hard! Sure, the IIs are better, but only because of their armor and training.

As a matter of fact I am pretty sure S-IIIs have better bio augmentations. Because of technology advances.

Besides, I am doing a massive project based on an idea that a squad of S-IIIs are stranded on a former human colony now controlled by covenant forces. It's called Halo: Forsaken.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

1. Has no energy shield, thus is not a viable multiplayer option.
2. It is not *Confirmed* unless Bungie Confirmed it so its not.

1. Neither does ODST, Recon, Scout, EOD, EVA, CQB, Hayabusa, or Rogue armor. They aren't even Armor that SPARTANS EVER WORE.
2. It is not confirmed, but is possible, though, it looks alot like EVA, so I doubt they will have it as anything special. IF they use it.

I think my IQ dropped quite a bit there.

What are you thinking? It is not like they program every bit of equipment exactly the way they are in the books, then copy paste it into the new game they are making. They could make a freaking GRUNT model in multiplayer with shields.

Why does it matter. Dont you still want SPI in Halo Multiplayer?


No, SPI is Epic Failsauce, the S-III's are just wannabe S-II's


Who said that only S-III's could wear the SPI armor? You could as well put a S-II in it.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Actually, if you remember Ghosts of Onyx, Kurt, a Spartan II, wore SPI armor. It shows that if S-III's wore Mjolnir armor, they'd by on par with S-II's.

On the subject of "W0rds of W1sdom"s post:
SPI armor was originally going to be in Halo 3 multiplayer (art of Halo 3), but was dropped later on; not because it "didn't have shields", but it just didn't make the cut. Happens to a lot of content in a lot of games.

What spectagon are you in?

Posted by: DECOYsteveO
I wouldn't be surprised.

BTW You shouldn't put Confirmed.

Hi, I am the White Mamba Overlord of our group the ODSM.
We are not a clan, and we don't play the game for competition. Instead we play for fun, and to hang out with friends. If you are interested in joining go to our group homepage and sign up. Membership is open.
We are mostly a Halo 3: ODST group for help with achievements and stuff, but we also will play a lot of Halo 3 matchmaking.

ODST armor dosn't have shields either, but you can use the helmet in multiplayer.

  • 08.24.2009 12:38 PM PDT

I am an avid gamer with a passion to keep games fun and strategy provoking, rather than simply button mashing instant-reward games that plague the market nowadays. I'm not kind, but I'm rational, fair, and maybe, just maybe, somewhat intelligent.

It looks like if Recon and OVA had a baby.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

It is not confirmed. But mutli-player is non-canon. So, anything is possible. So I would say, SPI armour is a strong choice for armour, but I doubt it would be the armour to replace Recon. Probably something much cooler will. Like a flaming head that will stay on fire after you die, and if you teabag this dead body, you will be incinerated.

Even if it's in Reach you don't know that it's a the "recon replacement". It's very unlikely, considering the fact it looks extremely similar to the EVA variant.

And no, nothing is confirmed.

I swear im tired of explaining this. ODSTs have no shield and its in Halo 3. Why does it matter if they hade no shield its just for multiplayer? I seriously hate when people say that.


the ODST premutation was actually a Spartan model armor BASED off of the ODSTs
