The Mark V (five) MJOLNIR is rated as a class 2 by the Monitor. So far the only visible improvements are a higher jump and a slightly tweaked HUD (I wouldn't call that an improvement, though). I doubt that's enough to get it over a class 2 rating, because if it is the Forerunner are nowhere near as powerful as everyone assumes they are.
So the Mark V and Mark VI are both class 2 "combat skins" as the Monitor calls them.
By the way, has anyone ever looked for a significance in the name of the armor? MJOLNIR - weapon of Zeus, king of the Greek gods. Maybe this is proof that the shields are derived from Forerunner technology?
Actually, MJOLNIR is derived from Norse mythology. It is the hammer of Thor, their equivalent of Zeus, Jupiter and what have you. It is a "weapon" with which to strike back at the covenant (I am fully aware that it is not actually a weapon). i see that you know your mythology, have you played age of mythology?
Actually, I have'nt. Does that talk about Norse mythology or somethingin it? Anyway, the reason I know that is because it is mentioned in The Fall of Reach, then later I had my brother look it up when he was looking at Norse Mythology (Just for confimation (I'm not sure why he was there anyway)).
