SPI armor is here. First in MCC, and now in Infinite. It really is an amazing part of the Spartan lore and history and it's great seeing it being put into Halo games for us to use.
@@Carlosmartinez117 Yes. That armor. It was made once more for Spartan IV's after Cortana's tyranny throughout the galaxy started, as the Banished damaged the Mjolnir armor too quickly to keep replacing, so they opted for the cheaper armors to make a return, but with some of the systems of Mjolnir baing part of the new SPI armor.
I’m very happy for something so simple about the season 3 update: they added cadet olive as an armor coating for each core. So now I can finally try to make my Mark V(B) Spartan look like a classic Mark V spartan (with Halo Reach’s design).
Where RAKSHASA armor is a mix of bleeding edge advanced kit married to fly-by-night improvisation to create suits of armor for long duration behind enemy lines missions, SPI armor seems to be primarily focused on being only as high quality as it has to be while coming in at a more affordable price, with a bit of ONI testbeds thrown in to see what sticks. This makes sense, considering the origins of the SPI armor in Ghosts of Onyx was tied to the Spartan III program, which was all about making more Spartans, faster, cheaper. Overall, I like SPI armor. The UNSC could probably buy five sets of SPI armor for the same price as one set of Mark VI, and while yes the Mark VI is better armor, quantity is a quality all its own.
Gives me hope for Hellcat. Though I hope that comes as a core. Seeing how Forerunner tech is being implemented into Human tech, an updated hybrid of Reaper (Forerunner) and Hellcat (Ancient Human) would be cool.
@@augury2699 seeing this comment just confused the hell out of me at first because I’m a mopar fan (dodge cars including hellcats) and I had to ask myself if I clicked on a halo video or a car video😂
I love how most of these components seem to be either off the shelf or improvised, which fits perfectly with the SPI armor concept of Spartans on a budget
Regarding your last point about why ONI might be crawling back out of the woodwork and into the SPARTAN's affairs: Maybe 343i realized how much we actually *liked* the Hunt The Truth ad campaign for Halo V: Guardians, and they're finally actually taking that plot idea and running with it? Because, while we didn't like how utterly unrelated it was to the game we actually got out of it, the Hunt The Truth story itself was actually quite neat!
Auxillary shield generator to me means that the Mirage armor actually then has shielding on its own. After all, BUILDS on the foundation of SPI and gen 1 Mirage. If if Mirage IIC meets baseline Mjolnir gen 3 standards, it very likely has shielding. They companies they're outsourcing to is srip the cost from the physical armor systems and attachments.
I think that the information on the armour core suggests that it is fully powered like Mjolnir armour. I'm not sure if he covers this in the video, I came back to check to see if anyone had brought this up & the shielding
I appreaciate the lore behind a lot of these gear pieces and in some cases it makes me wish that we actually had gameplay or moments that utilized some of them. But what would be nice is if they actually baked it into the stories around and in Halo. It'd be cool seeing Spartans that have different helmets, deployed with different armors, extra gear pieces like with Jorge or Emile on Reach. Also sat down and read some of the lore for pieces and cores today and yesterday. The Chimera Armor is honestly my favorite, just based on the lore.
I like the mirage core. It is neat in lore and design; a semi-powered armor with energy shields to be used by non-augmented people. I want an ODST core next, building upon this design language. They should have energy shields by now. It makes sense that spartans should be able to operate these semi-powered armors, even if they are intended for non-augmented people. The technology is trickled down from mjolnir anyway, logistically provides a common support network, and provides redundancy ‘plan-b’ armor should a spartan not have access to full mjolnir support and repairs.
I love how the helmet visor has a very deep look with numerous workings that go 6-8 inches back behind the visor, that may or may not be there, literally nothing but death behind the helmet.
Interestingly, the reason the street viper was hunted down is the module it mimics. Which is Promethean vision. They made a promethean vision capable helmet!
I was ECSTATIC when I saw SPI armor being put in the game. I've been playing the flip out of this armor. Spartan III's unequivocally the best Spartan class in the Halo universe. Loving it!
original spi and spi mk2 where scaled in their assist to be wearable by non augmented personal. mirage mk 1 tested spi plates in a mjolnir suit. the spi versiob in the pre-created post war era seemed to be scaled to spartan strenght and speed far better (with the non augmented operator version being scaled to base humans instead.), though it still does not require a neural interface or reflex enhancements technicaly. the mirage mk 2 seems to include a neural interface, shielding and the gen3 nanobot suite on the soartan scaled spi platform. passive movement controlled motorized assist that moves at the wearers speed can at most be as strong as tge wearer, so the wearer is still in control. for more strenght you would have to sliw down. spi was originaly scaled to expected human wearers, and mirage is likely scaled to spartans. so mirage 2c should be about 2/3 as strong as a spartan in mk4 armor, without any reflex increases. this fits with the rift gauntlets having a tuneable level of amplification.
14:02 Also to be clear the term used is AUXILIARY. As in this is a supplementary shield generator. Mirage has built in shields, not just as gameplay mechanic. This, would grant an additional shield or help keep the current shield up longer or more stable.
I love the mirage armor core. Its my favorate now. I love reading the lore of all the attachments, i love the look (i had a book as a kid showing concept art that machos it for one of bungies halo games) and it stuck with me
My biggest gripe is that this can only be ground out through competitive play. Ghosts of onyx was the first halo novel i read and i have loved the concept of the SPI armour and the "spartans on a budget" feel of the spartan 3 program. On reach i used the pilot helm and odst shoulders to create a pseudo spi armour replica for my spartan. If i could use the multiplayer selected armour core in the story mode to call my self happy as a pig in s**t would be a understatement! 😂
They added a new core, awesome. Glad they haven't addressed the most common complaint about the game, which is cores in general. Thanks for putting more armor behind a wall that I can't wear with other armor that I like.
The SPIvarmor can be used by non augmented humans therefore available to all the infantry cavalry and spec ops soldiers and marines, the Nightfall armor is available as well to non augmented humans. The question is why don’t we see and have games where these two armors are being used by Rangers Airborne or other forces to include Marine Force Recon. These games will allow for expansion and fresh ideas into the franchise, what if there was a fam of a PMC tactical team assisting CMA or UNSC forces with the PMCT using the Hayabusa Powered Armor?
@Lewis Bush actually they do just look up the lore for it. I agree ODST'S should have it but Army Airborne, Rangers and Infantry should have both SPI and Nightfall Armors ,both can be used for non augmented humans.
@@bennuredjedi apparently they do exist, never knew that, UNSC rangers look almost identical to marines tho, the pic for them is a halo reach era marine
I really appreciate the amount of work and detail 343i put into this armor. I haven't been this excited for unlocking armor in Infinite since release and getting armor pieces for the Reach armor. I hope they are able to keep up this amount of content into following seasons and continue to take positive steps forward in bringing Infinite up.
The heck is up with arms? Trust 343 to manage to mess up something on a fan favourite armour, but the their fan-fic fracture core are pretty polished; typical
For those brothers who retain affection for a certain green giant with the 051, who restored the flame to the souls of children who had lost everything, and for those brothers who we lost in reach, I am sure that the The armor will bring you love, melancholy, nostalgia and good memories, wear it with pride because those who used it burned their lives to stop an enemy that seemed unstoppable, and thanks to them, the rest of the Spartans will be feared by the Covenant forever, Since the Covenant remembered with terror the ferocity with which these Spartans fought without shields, they showed them perseverance and pure will.
14:26 Funnily enough, Halo 3: ODST actually tackled this conundrum quite well, in my opinion, in that the shields were effectively still present but rebranded as Stamina. It might be a good solution to bring back for the Mirage 2C, although how one would be made aware of one's Stamina being depleted without the shield sparks I'm not too sure (but it could be fashioned after Star Wars: Republic Commando's squad mate health system, where - alongside having health metres on your HUD - Fixer, Sev and Scorch would limp and hold their wounds with the left hand while continuing to fire with the right; perhaps signs of visible exhaustion such as heaving and stumbling and hunching would manifest because your Spartan overexerted dodging bullets).
My headcannon is that stamina is powered plate armor. The armor pieces use a power source to enhance material properties by active support and/or use power to repair and reform. Gameplay wise, armor would be a percent damage reduction. All damage will affect your non-regenerating health. Armor itself will behave like shields, damage will reduce armor to 0%, where it will not reduce incoming damage. Armor can recharge just like shields back to 100%, where it will again provide the most damage reduction. So you have enough armor that a lone shot is a small enough health penelty to not worry about, but if receiving sustained damage, your armor will quickly drain. This keeps the main focus on your health. Tanking damage is a huge health cost; you are encouraged to spread out your engagements to keep your armor charged to reduce the total health cost. To make this system more intuitive, the armor charge on the HUD can literally the damage reduction percentage; like 80%-0%, next to your health bar. Halo has always been lose with the term “power armor”. Especially in reference to semi-powered armor. My analogy is that if regular armor is a bicycle, and full powered mjolnir is a motorcycle, then semi-powered armor is a pedal-assist ebike. It has a power source, not enough to fully move on its own, but enough to go much faster than a regular bike.
@@shottytheshotgun I'm having a little difficulty processing your proposition but if I _am_ understanding it right: I'm a bit sceptical as to how well it would coexist with the regular shielding system but I do see it working, especially since it seems to essentially be Titanfall 1's Titan Shielding with more depth a la Doom, but baked into one setting. However, while I do like the prospect, I think it's a bit overboard to incorporate an entirely different defence system for a cosmetic change. I think the conventional Stamina system would be fine. >My headcanon That's not bad, it would make sense why you never rearmoured yet maintained the same amount of protection despite engaging in multiple firefights, although it contradicts the fact ODST armour is purely unpowered; it makes more sense it's just _that_ good. Me and my brother, on the other hand, just interpreted it as the player character being winded by the force of the shot, thus "slowing" them down and being more susceptible to a direct hit, especially since the low Stamina state is accompanied by heavy breathing (sorta like the rationale an Uncharted dev gave for why Drake is able to tank so many shots). >Halo has always been _lose_ with the term >lose Damnit, I hoped this wouldn't happen.
@@dutch_asocialite You got my proposition right. I misinterpreted your post as being for a halo spinoff like H3 ODST. Guess I misremembered the ODST armor. If it has a visor, it is semi or full power armor lol
I just started playing halo infinite and this armor was already available, immediately use it and i love it ❤it makes me feel like i'm a spartan 3 with spartans 4 😉
I made my own rendition an army shock trooper or F.I.S.T (front line infantry shock trooper) using the mirage iiC, heavy odst helmet and odst shoulders, yes I know “fist”doesn’t exist but it’s what I imagined an army styled odst would look like idk just something I thought was cool
This is a question I've always had, why did they stay with myolnir armor, only making numerous numerous numerous barely useful armored upgrades, other than knowing they made a almost perfect human, and making a better suit of powered armor for the perfect human?... Why did no one make a new better armor than mjolnir, when the Spartans were released to the public as the heroes of humanity?....
Presumably because they couldn't. Certainly not at a feasible rate of production or at a justifiable cost. It's like asking why the UNSC didn't just make better ships during the Human-Covie war. Technological know-how doesn't grow on trees, and the only resourse more scarce than materials and talent is time. That and the opportunity cost. Mjolnir worked well enough; better to invest time and resources into improving a proven "good enough" platform than something you don't know will even pay off. Put your bets on Ten-pair instead of splitting and praying for a Twenty-one. Why throw money and time at cracking Covie grav drives for ground vehicles when wheels and treads are doing just fine and you desperately need better interstellar comms?
Have you done a lore and theory video on commander keyes and chiefs relationship or if there was, I wasn't aware until recently that miranda is halseys daughter, I feel that would make her, chief's, and Cortana's relationship interesting?
SPI cool. Mirage Armor looks great. 343i makes a shit ton of goofy ass helmets. They just can't help themselves. Like Halo 4 & 5 all over again. Gotta have giant freaking circles on your face or weird googly eyes. Like who the hell are they keeping on payroll that draws and models this shit? Someone needs to tell the art director that Bionicle Masks don't look good on Spartans.
gen 3 mjolnir includes spdr ai counter intrusion and containment measures as a standard. massed efforts and suit criticality can break that though with all likelyhood. a helmet that can detect ai's and resist them is very powerfull.
my favourite Helmet is honestly the Erenyes one with the attachment specific to that helmet. shame it comes in an overpriced bundle as for my opinion on season 3, Cliffhanger is my favourite map, unless the game is making me play one flag. just let me play slayer or gun game and i'll be fine.
I can see that 343 is putting less resources into their armor cores. Look at the way the bicep plating is warped. Nothing frustrates me more than flexing armor plates.
I love the new core but I have this almost psychotic need to give my Spartan some type of lore in which he is the most badass augment son of a gun out there, and the fact that the Mirage seems to sacrifice some aspects of a regular mjolnir in exchange for a cheaper product to manufacture (and that you don’t need to be as augmented to use it meaning it probably wouldn’t enhance the user’s strength, speed and reaction time as much as a mjolnir) stops me from using it :( and I’m already bored to death of the mark VII helmet and is the only cool one in that core
The helmets are gross, aside from the original SPI helmet. Why do you need a visor that goes over the top of your head when it should be armor plated to protect your head??
but no matter how many free armor cores and coatings they give there are still lot of people going around in default mark 7 gray armor. suckers have no sense of fashion.
It's a shame this season is off to a shit start. They took away social big team, and gave us a new shit mode, shit maps and a let down of an armor core. Season 3 sucks
It's not. All fracture armors are alternate reality "what-ifs?". The earlier ones were alternate takes on the halo universe as a whole, Chimaera is a more grounded "what if the Created won the war and enslaved humanity/organics?"
Same as the Gungnir helmet, I imagine. The visors arent what they actually see out of. The helmet has sensors and cameras that feed the display to the inside of the helmet.
As stated by the other guy, the visor on a Spartan's helmet acts as sort of like a camera that is giving you live video feed through a display inside the helmet. Considering what the visors are made out of, it would be impossible to see anything without those displays.
The new gun sucks in all game modes but one and that is Tactical Slayer with a head shot you can get a kill in at game mode but in any other game mode you have to steal the kill with that gun. it Ties first place with the Commando rifle
Design is simple, utilitarian and semi-realistic with that sci-fi edge, it's how Halo should be.
Halo reach caught the best feeling for armor, Mark V had tactical bulky armor and it was sexy and fit the futuristic tactical feeling
SPI armor is here. First in MCC, and now in Infinite. It really is an amazing part of the Spartan lore and history and it's great seeing it being put into Halo games for us to use.

Put your bets on Ten-pair instead of splitting and praying for a Twenty-one. Why throw money and time at cracking Covie grav drives for ground vehicles when wheels and treads are doing just fine and you desperately need better interstellar comms?
As much as I’m a Halo fan, every time I hear Mirage-IIC I think, “Wait, the Clans built a MJOLNIR variant.”
How has no one but you brought this up lol
Have you done a lore and theory video on commander keyes and chiefs relationship or if there was, I wasn't aware until recently that miranda is halseys daughter, I feel that would make her, chief's, and Cortana's relationship interesting?
SPI cool. Mirage Armor looks great. 343i makes a shit ton of goofy ass helmets. They just can't help themselves. Like Halo 4 & 5 all over again. Gotta have giant freaking circles on your face or weird googly eyes. Like who the hell are they keeping on payroll that draws and models this shit? Someone needs to tell the art director that Bionicle Masks don't look good on Spartans.
gen 3 mjolnir includes spdr ai counter intrusion and containment measures as a standard.
massed efforts and suit criticality can break that though with all likelyhood.
a helmet that can detect ai's and resist them is very powerfull.
It’d be cool to see the process of dealing with a wounded spartan from the field to hospital
Oh heck yeah been waiting for my lore fix!
Wich of this helmets is most nice?
I still want to get that belt for this core.
I can't wait for all of this to be modded into Starfield when it comes out so I can make my dream of a halo action rpg sandbox come true
Surprised they never ripped off "Army of Two" and just put A shield be it armor plate or "Bubble" shield on the end of the rifle.
I'm getting strong Spartan III vibes from this chapter.
We really needed a running count of how many times you said TAC. A TAChometer if you will... 🤣
my favourite Helmet is honestly the Erenyes one with the attachment specific to that helmet.
shame it comes in an overpriced bundle
as for my opinion on season 3, Cliffhanger is my favourite map, unless the game is making me play one flag.
just let me play slayer or gun game and i'll be fine.
So since the SPI armor in Infinite is Gen 3 does that mean the armor we saw in the trailer was not accurate as it to was gen 3?
Optican, health care on demand!
I really wish halo infinite armor have buffs or debuffs based on the core/ armor worn
Would love to hear your ONI theory
These helmets are absolutely GORGEOUS. Thanks for the breakdown, keep up the good work!
Love the armor
Do we know what Street Vipers are?
I can see that 343 is putting less resources into their armor cores. Look at the way the bicep plating is warped. Nothing frustrates me more than flexing armor plates.
Nothing like taking the original spi armour and putting the base helmet that should have been on it in the battle pass
Awesome video man!
Are you going to be covering the new armor pieces added to the Mark 7?
Anyone else get reminded of the jeager pilot suit from pacific rim by the thumbnail?
have you done a video on forerunner drones, suits & ships?
Forerunner Automatons video is already edited and on the way
Im a simple man I see 00 armor videos I click
P.S the new game mode this fun
Helioskrill Armor
I love the new core but I have this almost psychotic need to give my Spartan some type of lore in which he is the most badass augment son of a gun out there, and the fact that the Mirage seems to sacrifice some aspects of a regular mjolnir in exchange for a cheaper product to manufacture (and that you don’t need to be as augmented to use it meaning it probably wouldn’t enhance the user’s strength, speed and reaction time as much as a mjolnir) stops me from using it :( and I’m already bored to death of the mark VII helmet and is the only cool one in that core
The helmets are gross, aside from the original SPI helmet. Why do you need a visor that goes over the top of your head when it should be armor plated to protect your head??
Did you ever do a video on the Orion Armor? Be cool if you did.
So building armor that an AI can take over? Are you trying to piss off Spartan Soldiers? Did Cortana not herself run off the rails?
Yes
but no matter how many free armor cores and coatings they give there are still lot of people going around in default mark 7 gray armor. suckers have no sense of fashion.
How do you get it ?
So is mararge armour mjolnir or SPI?
Make a video about the yoroi core
It's a shame this season is off to a shit start. They took away social big team, and gave us a new shit mode, shit maps and a let down of an armor core. Season 3 sucks
When is sanghelili autopsy coming out?
Isn't Mirage just SPI?
Is chimaera armour canon?
Ye I think so
It's not. All fracture armors are alternate reality "what-ifs?". The earlier ones were alternate takes on the halo universe as a whole, Chimaera is a more grounded "what if the Created won the war and enslaved humanity/organics?"
How the hell can they see with this helmet on 4:53
Same as the Gungnir helmet, I imagine. The visors arent what they actually see out of. The helmet has sensors and cameras that feed the display to the inside of the helmet.
As stated by the other guy, the visor on a Spartan's helmet acts as sort of like a camera that is giving you live video feed through a display inside the helmet. Considering what the visors are made out of, it would be impossible to see anything without those displays.
Veles SHOULD have been the default, but they were greedy
Also there's no way that helmet is gonna become a fan favorite, it's very ugly
The new gun sucks in all game modes but one and that is Tactical Slayer with a head shot you can get a kill in at game mode but in any other game mode you have to steal the kill with that gun. it Ties first place with the Commando rifle
Anythin better then halo 4 armors imo opinion, still really dislike the German soldier lookin core forget the name atm.
