I really think its a shame we didn't get SPI armor, considering the fact this is a game based upon a group of Spartan 3's.
The closest we can get to a SPI armor is this, atleast I took elements from these pics:
Ghost of Onyx cover
GoO fanart
Concept art by Bungie
and Kurt's death
Now, the SPI armor helmet has been up to debate, I know, but I truely think the EVA helmet is a closer resemblance. Pilot helmet hasn't got enough visor surface. EVA is too domed, but looks more like the SPI armor.
As for the chestpiece: SPI looks more or less like a kevlar suit and goes all the way down to the crotch area. So you got two options there: UA/Counterassault (which you can't get in green, but does go all the way down and looks more like a kevlar vest) or HP/Parafoil (which has less of a vest-appearance, but does have the 2 "cords" coming from the shoulders). I chose Counterassault.
As for the rest: it's really not up to debate as there aren't that much options to go by.
So in my opinion, SPI armor in Reach would be the combination of these:
Helmet: EVA
Chest: UA/Counterassault
Shoulders: ODST
Wrist: Bracer (shame its only on one side!)
Knees: regular
Visor: Gold.
I have this one, and in campaign cutscenes it looks really cool. Almost like a realy Spartan 3 in SPI armor.
Just need to reach Colonel to get the Gold visor, but the rest will look like this:
SPI crouched and
SPI running
Hope to see more SPI's in Reach soon! ;)
