The most supported fact would be Mark V. This is because MC has this in Combat Evolved. These events of him waking in Pillar of Autumn are directly after Reach (possibly even during the events of Reach are just now concluding). The beggining of Halo CE does not in any way support thoughts that this Mark V armor is brand new and unknown by MC, he seems completely used to it. Also, I doubt theyd make armor just for him while they slipspaced away from Reach. This means we will most likely have Mark V armor during the events of the actual battle of Reach. However, if the game shows earlier events such as in the book, we will most likely see use of Mark IV as well, which I like the idea of. It looks amazing in Halo Wars and in the books. Of course its not as advanced, but if they make the appearance look cool, ill be glad.

Speculate, give me ideas, tell me if any of my info is innaccurate. Thanks! :)

The best defense is a good one.

The Spartans recieved their Mark V when they got to Reach for preparation for their "special mission".

No.

Hopefully we go from mark 3.5 to mark 4 to mark 5.

I hope Mark 4 looks different than in Halo wars though. Why would the mark 4 suit look more advanced than the mark 6 suit?

I also hope the mark 5 suit looks like it did in Halo 1 design wise. No random useless lines on the visor or any of that crap. Back to the utilitarian roots.

I do believe this is right. I seem to remember hearing this before. Thanks for confirming!
