Subject: I am not a fan of John's new armor.

Think before you post

The new design just doesn't look that great.
I liked the other versions of Mjolnir better.

You aren't a fan of canon then becuase that is exactly how it should have been the whole damn time.

I like it! =D

  • 06.06.2011 1:51 PM PDT

Are you kidding!? That picture looks badass! Although it should be the exact same as Halo 3 if they were following the story...

  • 06.06.2011 1:52 PM PDT

Reach for Halo!

reminds me a lot of the Halo Legends "the package" armor...even has a jet pack

  • 06.06.2011 1:53 PM PDT

Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of Murphy's Laws on the StarShip Enterprise

The jetpack looks out of place. He could only have got it if he had one in the ship, and got out of cryo at some stage earlier. However, I think that's unlikely

The new armor looks pretty detailed to me, i like it!

  • 06.06.2011 1:54 PM PDT

The abdomen looks weird, The rest of it looks great.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

That's a bit too direct.
The way they handled the armour change was not a very great idea. I mean how did he suddenly get jet packs and a new spanking suit design when he was in a cryo-pod?

But regardless of that, I'm not a big fan of the new design either. I liked the H2 design the best. But it may grow on me...

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Could it be MJOLNIR Mk. VII?

(Even though Halsey is missing, AND John seems to have it just as he gets out the cryo tube)

It was intended to be a smartass remark.

You guys really shouldn't be criticizing a CGI trailer so harshly, what until we see an actual trailer or the first cutscene before raging.

Good Point, kinda like how the H3 E3 trailer of the Chief differed from the in-game version.

However the thread topic was just to discuss peoples preference of the armour pictured in the trailer. I see no reason for any hostile reactions.

  • 06.06.2011 1:59 PM PDT

People just need to chill about the armor. This is just a cgi teaser. Wait until you see an actual in game version of it.

  • 06.06.2011 2:00 PM PDT

I just don't like the helmet. The rest is fine.

Fair ground reached.

I like the armor and hope it will be bulky like the books stated, i want the games to be canon accurate not based off what people expect from it.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Am I the only one that thinks this armor looks like a fusion between Halo Wars Mark IV and Mark VI armor?
Maybe...just somehow......he acquires Mark VII armor. Though I find it highly unlikely, maybe the armor was on the Forward Unto Dawn. It's a prototype most likely.
He couldn't have put it on while he was in cryo or in space. So he most likely get the armor on the planet

I like the armor! It looks reptilian, or in other words, organic, a harmonization between living (John) and artificial (armor, skin).

  • 06.06.2011 2:04 PM PDT

I like the style - it looks more like a human rhino that a skinny giant. Hopefully the power of the augmentations will be seen, as will the Elites and Brutes, more in line with Canon (never read about John assassinating a Brute Chieftain in one backsmack :P).
If he is more powerful and fast and hard hitting, but so are the aliens, hopefully it will go more towards the books, where Elites and Brutes can toe-to-toe John with relative ease and where Grunts beat Humans in a handfight (but not a gunfight).

Oh, and inb4 Flood Johnson Cameo!

I'm pretty sure it's just a more detailed Mark VI armor unless there was somehow a spare suit on the ship and Cortana found a good reason to wake up the chief and make him change out of his suit in zero g.

Meh, its okay.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

While I think it looks badass, I wish they would have stuck with his MK 6 armor from 2 and 3.

That armor looks like MK 4.

  • 06.06.2011 2:09 PM PDT

Think before you post

The books have always said that they look more machine than human, even going as far to have some people think they are just robots. I don't think the harmony between man and machine thing works out in the Halo universe (as impossible as that sounds).

I liked it up until I saw the jetpack... god, do NOT bring back AA's like they are in Reach >_>

Think before you post

They're 0G thrusters that are built into the suit... NOT jetpacks.

I think it looks cool, it just isn't what he was wearing when he got in. That's what bugs me. The Mk VI armor is the image everyone gets when they think of MC. Even though I prefer the Mk V, the Mk six is much more iconic. I think they should stick to it.
