Technically, non of the suits except EVA/PAA should work in space as they weren't designed to work in space (unlike the EVA/PAA).

If all suits of UNSC MJOLNIR armor worked in space (a vaccum more specificaly), why would MJOLNIR even need the EVA.


Halo: The Fall of Reach.

Basic, default versions of Mark IV operate in space fine.

Basic, default versions of Mark V operate is space fine.

Halo 2

Basic, default version of Mark VI operate in space fine.

I'm sorry to say, ALL variants of MJOLNIR armor and helms will work in space. EVA is just specialized to work the best.


But you fail to realize that is that way in gameplay, and for good reason. Imagine if it made you buy or unlock the EVA just for that mission. It would be lousy, so they just pass it of as any armor works so that it wouldn't have to be changed just for that specific mission.


Um, the first two examples are from the book, not a game.

lol i agree with the misterbraz guy,and if u play lone wolf and run to the building down the ramp and go inside the building there should be a cqb spartan dead on the ground with half the grenades on his/her sapper gone,and another thing is emile constantly throws grenades at ppl in the campaign so he is a demolitions expert,not to mention in the opening cutscene of "the pillar of autumn" he's using a grenade launcher to pwn banshees and uses his last grenade to EMP 1 banshee into another.

A helmet with a wide range of view with a Spartan who always carries a shotgun around. Makes sense.
Also off-topic, Emile says that he loves blowing stuff up but the only time he ever does that is when he's on the mass driver. He's more a close-range specialist.


Your logic is flawed. The Pilot has a wide range of veiw. It's not about veiw anyway, the EVA/PAA is a pressurized suit designed for vaccums. His helmet should be a CQB or a JFO, they have large open visors, but there not preesurized in a way that could be dangerous.


Neither of those two however offer as wide a range of view as the EVA does though. There's nothing wrong with wearing an EVA helmet if you're not doing a mission involving space, likewise it doesn't matter if you wear any of the other armor variants in space.

And any armor variant can be used in a vacuum like space, not just the EVA helmet, there are many, many, many, many instances where difference helmet besides the EVA has been used. Like for instance in Reach when Six and Jorge both are momentarily out in the vacuum of space on the LNoS mission, and neither of them are wearing an EVA helmet. Or in Halo 2 when Master Chief jumps out of the Cairo station with the bomb, he's not wearing an EVA helmet then. Or how about in Halo Legends episode the Package, more than half of that episode takes place in space, and only Kelly is wearing an EVA helmet. Or even the many times in the books where the Spartans go into space...again, no EVA helmet. Your point that only EVA works in space is completely busted.

all MJOLNIR armor is made for space,but only for a limited time,except EVA which is made to last long periods of time in space,like for repairs on ships,after all the military police,ODST,and gungnir armor variants are shared with spartan and regular class miltary units so the EVA could also be shared with the standard military as an option for armament.

Also, just noticed...

CQB has one of the smallest visors out there. Only Recon holds a smaller one I believe.

Security on the other hand has a large visor.

Um, wearing EVA helm wouldn't extend the period beyond 90 minutes.

That is the hard limit for MJOLNIR bar extra air canisters.

Your thinking of CQC, CQB is the one only accessible via Halo Waypoint

No, I'm thinking CQB. It's the boba-fett style helm.

Oh, but the Boba Fett has a much thiner vertical bridge, about half an inch. The CQB has fairly large verticle brigde and horizontal slit, all about two and a half to three inches.

I guess it matters of what you think is a large visor though. I think CQB has a pretty large visor. Recon could probaly fit three of its visor in a CQB visor, respectvily

My guess on this matter is that Bungie didn't care about realism or the practicality of the armor Noble Team used.

They only used the EVA helmet because of it's large surface area and the Skull was "kewl".


Ya, and my guess is your a dumbass.
