I was wondering what armor you guys think the Team is wearing in Headhunters. So far I have Default and Pliot helmets but I can't get a good look on the body armor nor any utilities. Any help you can give is great and thanks!

They are wearing SPI armor.
"Jonah wore green standard-issue SPI armor with a few modifications, including VISR"
"Roland wore a primarily red-colored, unidentified variant of the SPI armor."

Right from the Halopedia article...

I know that much but that doesn't help me recreate the exact armor in Reach

Roland's helmet reminds me of Air Assault.

  • 06.26.2011 1:16 AM PDT

It's EVA and Kat's helmet(name slipped my mind).

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

I guess you could go with EVA and Air assault.
Episode 2

Click on the little picture of headhunters part 2 [so you keep on it but don't open it]. You get a good view of their armour.

Stupid ass washing machine...

I think I can help, as I play FF and MM as Tom-B292, so I already have an understanding of how to recreate SPI in Reach (and Halo 3, too...).

Jonah:
EVA helmet
UA/Multi-Threat shoulders (or ODST, depends on what you think really)
UA/Security chest
GUNGIR or Default knees (again, up to you)
Bracer wrist
Default or Gold visor colour
Olive primary and secondary colours.

Roland:
AA helmet
Mark V shoulders
Difficult to say for the chest, perhaps maybe the HALO chest?
GUNGIR or Default knees
Bracer wrist
Deafult or Gold visor colour
Darkest red and white for armour colours.

Thanks dude and I just realized I made two threads, ugh lack of sleep!

The SPI armor is something I've been wearing for ages now (and I think its sincerely the best way to recreate that armor in Reach), you just need the following set up:

Helmet: EVA
Chest: UA/Counterassault
Shoulders: ODST
Wrist: Bracer (shame its only on one side!)
Knees: regular
Visor: Gold.

Just take a look at my profile to see how it looks.
As for the red armor: no idea, haven't tried that one yet.

Roland's helmet reminds me of Air Assault.
I'm also seeing quite a bit of Operator, too.

Operator was definitely my first impression, but I can also see Air Assault in their too.

If you're going for the pair as they were depicted in the motion comic (as opposed to their depiction on the cover of the book), I'd go with this:

Jonah
Helmet: EVA (or maybe even Pilot)
Chest: UA/Counterassault
Shoulders: UA/Base Security, UA/Multi-Threat, or ODST
Wrist: Bracer
Knees: Air Assault
Visor: Gold
Primary Color: Sage
Secondary Color: Sage or white (the reason why I'd put sage is because I don't like the fact that in Halo: Reach, your secondary color covers your entire lower leg.)

Roland
Helmet: Either Air Assault or Mark V[B] are the best fit, in my opinion.
Chest: HP/HALO
Shoulders: Mark V
Wrist: Bracer
Knees: Air Assault
Visor: Gold
Primary Color: Maroon or brown
Secondary Color: Maroon, brown, or white

I would consider the security chest for Roland, and Jonah could also have the pilot helmet and UA/base security sholders.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

I'd say pilot instead

Someone with the vanity or atleast the rank of brigadier should upload a picture of what they think the armor is like.

The Pilot helmet is the closest to the SPI that we have in the Armory. It even mentions the similarity to the SPI helmet in the description.

No.
Pilot doesn't look like SPI at all
I know a lot of people say so, because Bungie has said in the past that they created Pilot to resemble SPI, but when you compare SPI to what we have in the Armory the EVA helmet is the closest you get to it.

Let me show you in this compilation picture
Sure: EVA is a bit too domed and looks different on the details. But the Pilot helmet has almost nothing in common. As a matter of fact: the only time Pilot somewhat resembles the SPI helmet, is from the front.

The images from the SPI helmet all come from official canon, and the only real changes between the first impressions of SPI and the one shown in Headhunters for instance, is the fact that the original design had some sort of dents on the top of the visor, where it touches the helmet. In the newer designs, there is a little piece of helmet going of the visor. EVA also has that. You can also see the bottomline of the visor turns upwards diagonally. Again: EVA has that too.
SPI has some details at the sides of the chin: EVA too.
SPI is just a bit more bulbuous as the backside of the helmet, and its visor has some awkward edges on it, otherwise its almost exactly like EVA.

Now lets compare it to Pilot.
Pilot is too closed off for starters. Not enough visor surface compared to SPI. Where visor and helmet touch, the shape of the helmet is completely different. Pilot even has a black layer over the visor at the bottom, which SPI doesn't have.

As for the chestpiece: I know there are a few options. The UA/Counterassault is the best one in my opinion as it covers the entire torso down to the groin in a sort of straight line (when looking at it from the side). This somewhat gives an impression of a bulletproof vest: SPI also has that in a way. Problem here is there is really no chestpiece that comes really close to the "real deal", still: Counterassault is the best option.
