Meaning no offense to you, but if you watch halo wars cinematics, you can see that they've been fighting the covenent before even elites had shields.

Spartans battled the Covenant in Mark IV for about 15 years.

They fought in Mark V for about 6 months.
And Mark VI for the final part of the war.

Not true, the Spartans were engaged with the Covenant in older Mjolnir variations. The Jericho theatre for example was before the shielding systems. Point in fact that is the mission I believe, that MC brought the shield gauntlet back for ONI to retroengineer for the Mjolnir armor system.

All that aside, considering the Autumn showed up in time for the start of the battle, after the Spartans had been outfitted with their shiny new armor, they would have it available for the battle. Provided that is what this game is about.

elites always had shields. ingame, they have shields, in the books, they have shields.
they didn't put their shields in the cinematics because it speeds things up (just stab to kill, you don't need to empty 2 to 3 clips on them only to take out their shields).

hes right eliets have always had shields read contact harvest but if reach spans back a little before the invasion will bungie just say, good luck and itll be like ODST at first?

John wore Mark IV since 2525 until August 29th 2552 (a day before battle of Reach) when he received Mark V in August 2552.

He wore Mark V only nearly two months until getting Mark VI on October 20th and he is still wearing Mark VI.

Not sure if the other Spartans besides John are wearing Mark V or Mark VI on Onyx after Reach fell.


That means all the Spartans who are present at Reach during the fall of planet are wearing Mark V which had energy shields.

I'm supporting that arguement friend, not opposing it.

I really hope we get a graphically updated Mark V armor to kick around in. I really hate how some remakes or prequels use the styles and designs that were made for the 70s/80s just to sucker in the Fans.

Spartans spent 15 years in Mark IV armor, they were only in the Mark V for like 6 months, and then MC was the only spartan to get the Mark VI armor.

yep. When Mark VI was finished being made John was the last spartan so was the only one who had the armor.
