Subject: Are the Spartans NOT wearing mjonlir armor?

"So on the winds, we sail forth... on the sea of chalupas... CHALUPAS!
When out of the ocean, the great chalupa king, he comes with his mighty bolt of electric lightning fury.
My chalupas I DEFEND! From the king of the great chalupa seaaa!
With his arms of modern steam-powered engine of the future!
$6.99 for a value meal, $6.99 for a value meal." - The disembodied head of Robert Mitchum

I was reading some posts about which characters were shown on the Reach logo when I realized that their outlines don't match up with mark V armor. This could explain why Sam (left) is in the picture since he died shortly after non-shielded mjolnir was given to the spartans. If you read Fall of Reach the spartans used an infiltrator style marine armor to capture an insurrectionist leader. Could they be using this armor instead of mark V?


EDIT: There also appears to be a camera on John and Fred's helmet and a visor like thing on Linda's which are not on the Mark V.

they're using mark V. if you had read fall of reach then you would have known that mark V armor was released to the spartans a few days before the battle of reach. (either a few days or a few hours not sure)

I mean before that. The game might not contain JUST the battle of Reach.

The sentence above is false."

An ashtray with the 'no smoking' symbol on it.

Mark V, considering there was Mark V in Halo CE, which is after Reach falls

Spartans only get Mark V right before Reach is attacked.

You you're saying that we will have a 27 year flashback to Sam's death? And don't assume that you know ANY of the Spartans in the banner. At least not until Bungie says who they are.

There can be gaps in the game (sort of like Fallout 3 if you've played that) that show the Spartans training and maybe a mission killing insurrectionists up to the Fall of Reach. The title of the Game is Halo: Reach not the Fall of Reach.

And about the banner. Which other spartans could they be? I mean Will, James, and the others don't even begin to fit the image shown.

I just think it's a little unprobable that's all.

You have to give him credit, his theory is better than 75% of them on here.
None of us KNOW specifically what'll happen only speculation and theories.
Bungie is a VERY odd company you will never know what they'll do, so you may just see Sam somewhere in the game.

Of course but no one said it had to concentrate on that one part.

Reach SHOULD focus on the main battle. I wouldn't mind seeing Mendez brutally train the little six-year old Spartans though...

Well the game will most likely focus around the planet Reach thus the title...
However it could also show the history of the spartans like you suggested.

I've seen a lot of people comparing this to Republic Commando. If you watch the introduction to that game it should give you a very good idea of what I'm trying to say.

It's not pink...it's lightish red!

They might have different armor types depending on what hey spec like Snipers might have rouge or Normal spartans might have MarkV IDK im reading reach now.

Then I might accidently tell you some spoilers. If you don't want me to spoil part of the ending of the book for you you shouldn't read the rest of this.

John in the center (most people think it's John) has that camera thing on his right side of his helmet that doesn't belong on his mark V. Then again that might be Fred since he led the Spartans on the ground and John was in space for the Fall of Reach.

Holy s*** I didn't know that! I really did though. And it is only a fact that she is the best class ONE sniper. Not BEST overall sniper.

Because it IS POSSIBLE that Sam is in the game.
It could also review the history of the Spartans, A.K.A. When The some of the Spartans were kidnapped or when some died.

They could fight insurrectionists in the game. Or Sam could pull a Cortana and do that flashy ghost thing throughout the game.
