What is the point of it? We've all seen, I'm sure, Jun's little fake ghillie hood on his chest plate. Why?
It won't keep him camouflaged - there's not enough to conceal his armour. It won't keep him warm - the MJOLNIR PAA will do that for him. It's not a hood - I doubt it'd fit over the MJOLNIR helmet, plus it would be pointless and limit the range of movement of his head. And serve neither of the two above points, which would be the only reason to use it as a hood.
All it does is drape over the back of his chest plate, and partially obscure the magnetic clip designed for rifle-sized weapons, and also the access panel for the fusion reactor.
It's as if Bungie felt that people wouldn't recognise him as a sniper without a ghillie suit that isn't even a ghillie. What, a Helmet entitled Scout, which has a 'Remote Sensor Package' upgrade (often described as a 'favourite of sniper units'), a sniper-rifle-round-carrying shoulder piece, and the big blam-off sniper rifle he carries wasn't enough to convince people of that?
It's just so horrendously pointless, I would love to know people's ideas for its existence. It serves no purpose whatsoever.
To me, it seems to have been put in so people could claim to be snipers because they had 'ghillie suits'. It's not even a suit, it's a shawl. That's ALL it is.
yeah, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I don't like using that chest piece but I did until I got the breacher. It really doesn't serve a purpose, the designers probably just thought Halo's target audience would appreciate it. They know how to make their money all right.
