Mark V IS THE NEW ONE! didnt you read Halo: First Strike? Fred and Will were sent to grab pieces of new armor and the box said MJOLNIR Mark V. and how we suppossed to know answer to this question? have we played the game? no.

They were not sent to retrieve "new armor". It was to fix, and replace thier current armor, which is the current Mark V. Bungie has said that this (Halo 2's) armor is the Mark VI. I believe that when Dr. Halsley "kidnapped" Kelly, she went off to develop the new armor for the Spartans. My guess is that another book will come out explaining the new armor... or that the Game will be Hella Long, showing the events to getting the new armor, which I would prefer.

master chief hasnt had an armor upgrade for a few years so its probably just the newest stuff. It would be a waste of time to show the chief getting his new armor. it would really slow down the story and it woulde be a waste of bungies time to remake the armor

I think Bungie is going to stick with the new armor throughout the game! But it did say that the spartans in MP are wearing the older armor! So does that mean maybe after you beat the game you can choose between the old and new armor? Or are you just stuck with the old armor in MP? I don't think so! I think Bungie will keep it simple!

bah

Since Archronos said First Strike leaves off where Halo 2 begins, and at the end of First Strike he has Mark 6 V armor, I'm guessing he'll get the new armor during Halo 2, most likely in the first level or maybe even a pre-game movie.

ok hows the show: In First Strike, Fred got parts for upgrading there armor (Mark V) so the armor in First Strike was like MJOLNIR Mark V.5 lol. The armor in Halo 2 is Mark VI

does that clear up any questions??

Actually, It's pretty integral to the story, and the chiefs strength. Hell there were literally chapters dedicated to unveiling the current Mark 5 suit and trying, and using it in the test battle simulation....( in the Fall of Reach). It's heavily hinted in the books that there will be an armor upgrade, and this is an important piece to Halo. It's like Chief knowing Forerunner Technology.. what if the suit is part of it? It's more important than you may think or know.....

Or I could just be blowing stuff out of my ass here.
