Subject: What armor will we wear?

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.

I think it might be mark V because that's what MC is wearing after the Spartans are annihilated just out side of Reach. MC is taken on the Pillar of Autumn and they Jump into slip space to escape the Covenant. Maybe it might go through the different armour throughout the campaign. Mark V isn't given to the Spartans till they are about to board a ship to blow it up but are confronted by Covenant. It may start of as like Mark I but it just depends on the Time the game is set. The first Spartan Armour had no Shields because it wasn't invented yet. It was later added using the covenants technology of the Jackal Shield.

I would like Mark IV though it looks good and it fits the time era

Spartans NEVER WORE Mk I, II, OR III. The first Mjolnir Armor they used was Mk IV.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Keep in mind that the Mark IV designed for Halo Wars will not necessarily be the same in terms of looks as the Mark IV that Bungie will use, if we ever see it.

And what armor we see will depend on when the game takes place (assuming we play as a Spartan). If it's a chronicle of prequel-events, as in The Fall of Reach, then we'll see Mark IV for at least some of the missions. However, all Spartans present at Reach during its attack were newly-equipped with Mark V.

I doubt we'll see Mark VI... though it's possible we'll see some prototype upgrades in the game that resemble Mark VI. You never know...

Now that Mk IV's look is set in stone for the Halo series, I doubt Bungie will change it, that is something you call BREAKING CANON.

Halo Wars is not fully canon anyway. Bungie sets the canon.

Bungie backs Halo Wars as canon.

Sam will have mark IV if I remember right. Everyone else should have mark V.

What armor did they use during the battle of Reach?
Because I really hate Mark VI armor, The Mark V from Halo CE looked awesome, but then I saw a Halo Wars cut scene & Mark IV armor looked way better than all of them.

Also what one do you think looks the best?


Mark IV

Mark V

Mark VI


The spartans in Halo Wars Wear MK V not Mk IV.

And as this is a few days befor Combat Evolved we will wear V.

At the time of Sam's death and leading up to the events on Reach, everyone had Mark IV. What characters should wear is based on the timeline, not the characters themselves.

They're wearing Mark IV, you can tell because the V had shields, whereas the IV does not.
Also, it looks entirely different.
Since the events of Halo Wars took place 20 years before The fall of Reach, the Spartans have Mark IV.

I know but going against the cannon, Halo Wars gave there spartans Shields and based the design MK IV on the MK V, and so technically used MK V - but I did meen to put it that it was based on MK V. Not that they actualy used MK V.

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.

Actually, no, the Halo Bible sets Canon, and unless Ensemble did not reference that Bible in any way, what they made Mk IV is Canon.

I do agree about Halo Wars mostly though, the broke Canon on MULTIPLE occasions, but since it HAS BEEN SET, they won't change it.

No, it was Mk IV, don't know where you got the idea it wasn't, HARVEST happened at the very beginning of the war LONG before the Spartans were issued Mk V.

Well, actually in the GAME they only had shields to BALANCE. I didn't see shields in the Cutscenes did you? Nope, cuz they didn't have them. The Shields were like I sad, only to Balance them into gameplay, otherwise they would have been underpowered.

Mark V with shields. The chief wore this on the first Halo which took place just hours after the destruction of Reach so it has to be the same.
