Right. Just shows how close she observed them throughout their training. She could tell by the way they walked/ran, the way they used their weapons, their combat styles, etc.
Well she was in essence their mother or at least mother figure, despite being the one to lead the experiments on the children she still cared for them. And we all know that a mother who cares for her child or children will always recognize them.
10 things ONI didn't want you to know. It would be cool to get an overview of the underhanded things humanity did to their own people and other races outside of the spartan program. The incident on the Mona Lisa was an event that has always stuck with me in the lore.
As much as I like the armour variants we have in the games something about every spartan looking the same feels right to me. The fact that minor personality traits help the Spartans tell each other apart is very interesting to me.
Yeah I agree, I always liked the old cover for the Fall of Reach with all the Spartans fighting. Considering it is the military, everyone should get standard issue equipment that is the same. Just like getting issued a pair of boots or a rifle, they should all get issued the same MKV armor
@@chipsdubbo5.56 I’m pretty sure in the lore we already have seen examples of even Spartan 3s wearing unique armor with numbers before the Fall of Reach.
@PurpleOwlAnimation it makes sense that with time passing, modifications and variants would be created to accomodate specific needs, and differentiate spartan teams from one another
I never knew the original Spartans looked identical, that’s so cool. The thought of the covenant killing a guy and thinking he came back to life is dope

I’ve heard on many occasions that a Mjolnir suit costs as much as a destroyer, not small starship. So if you can figure out relatively how much a unsc destroyer class ship costs, then you could guesstimate how much a suit costs
@@Bananabob3 I was always under the impression that just one of the Spartan 2 mark 4 Mjolnir suits were the price equivalent to one unsc destroyer class ship. In the halo lore they say that the Mjolnir Spartan suit is the single most advanced piece of technology ever created by man. So I’d assume just one would be enough to compare in price to a destroyer
@@Jimmy_Rings it’s possible that that’s just the early suits costing that much, I can’t see the unsc making the spartan 4 project and giving them mjolnir armour if each one cost as much as a destroyer. And a destroyer would be somewhere in the range of 100 billion dollars due to their size, for example a halberd class destroyer is around 44 times the size of an arleigh burk class destroyer, and I would imagine that the reactors and slip space drive cost ridiculous amounts of money by themselves.
@@Bananabob3 that is a good point also considering that kat says in halo reach that a slip space drive is the single most expensive piece of equipment made by man. It’s really hard to say, I’ve heard that quote of “a suit of Mjolnir costs as much as a destroyer” I bet that where ever it’s from (probably a book) the person writing it didn’t really delve deep into the actual realistic cost of what it would be and how much a destroyer costs. And idk this for certain but I believe that gen 2 Mjolnir suits made for Spartan 4’s we’re more streamlined making them cheaper, easier to manufacture, and more of just a standard issue suit for all Spartan 4’s where all the Spartan 2’s were given suits tailor made for them in every way and each suit was customized specifically for them, making it more expensive.
I thought that the speed increase didn't affect their body nearly as much as their mind? So outside of armor their bodies were "lagging" which is part of the reason why they liked being in armor so much.
Mjolnir using the Spartan's digestive waste as fuel is very similar to some concepts I've come up with in my own armour platforms, although for my most recent one it was actually recycled as reserve propellant for moving in micro- and zero-gravity since it used an S2 Engine. It also used two waste bags running down both thighs that breaks the material down rather than an enema, but regarding Mjolnir it actually makes sense and would mean the suit can effectively operate so long as the Spartan keeps eating.
In the book Halo: Last Light, Fred used the self destruct function you mentioned to destroy his Mjolnir after it was shut down by the Forerunner AI Intrepid Eye with him still inside of it. Kelly used a toolkit of small needle like tools to manually remove the AI chip from his neural implant and then release his armor pieces and gel suit. Unable to fix it in the field to continue using it and unable to carry it during their hurried extraction they were forced to abandon it and set it to self destruct.

I just watched Iron Man 2 again last night and didn't even realize until watching this video how many similarities exist between the two suits. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see someone with knowledge of the Multiverse delving into this comparison.
Halo does a lot better at explaining things like inventions that led to the micro-nuclear fusion battery that powers Chiefs armor, there's a lot of explanations as to how Master Chiefs suit could one day be realistic. In Iron-Man, Tony Stark puts a "nuclear core" in his chest that replaces his heart and also powers his suit. Somehow we're supposed to believe that a nuclear core can carry out the functions of our cardiovascular system. Lol
@Big Snake but he didn't replace his heart, he uses the core to augment his heart. It can run a heart for 50 lifetimes in the first one. And in the the later ones taking it off or modifying it sent him into cardiac arrest. If it replaced his heart he would've died immediately. But it's basically a really fancy pacemaker/magnet keeping the shrapnel from his chest. Mind you I haven't watched iron man 3 in a while so that mightve changed the lore to replace his heart. But as far as I'm aware it simply augments his heart. Doesn't replace it
@@jessmeowmeow Nope you're wrong. Go ahead and google it. "the sentient suit of armor sacrificed its life by using parts of itself to give Tony a new, robotic heart."

I agree, I was hoping Halo Infinite would do a mark IV-VII core variants with different customization. Along with the new cores just to add more lore to the armors.
I was surprised with the part that there were rigs with a fission powerplant. With stuff like artificial gravity systems being turned into a children's toy, fusion would have ultimately supplanted fission, with it being seen as a caveman's battery.
They had them, the problem was bringing down the size and managing it, they'd never needed to do so for anything that small at least so it makes sense that they used fission because it would've been easier to start off bringing to smaller scale, what's crazy is nearer the end of the Human/covvie war they had hybridized the human fusion reactors and the pinch fusion reactors leading to even more powerful reactors
@@agoddamnferret If I remember right, the micro hybrid pinch fusion reactor is a little bit more expensive than the normal micro reactor, for about 15% efficiency improvement.
@@devinlarson1947 still 15% at that power scale is impressive, would make sense if they started popping them in smaller vehicles so they could have things like oh idk spartan lasers in vehicles or small scale self powered ai controlled mac guns
my thought for the solid fecal waste has always been along the lines of a colostomy bag, hidden somewhere within the structure of the suit. pop open a small panel, retrieve the bag for disposal, insert a new bag, voila. and this makes even more sense considering you've explained the nature of how efficient the spartans' guts are, which essentially minimizes and concentrates the contents of the bags. this would allow for quite long periods between bag changes.
Lmao imagine encountering an enemy so hard to kill that you have to retreat to orbit and basically do an overkill bombings from orbit. And you meet that enemy again the next day on your ship. Brick shitting experience that would be.
As far as I know the Spartans did wear mostly the same armor and as time went on they started more often wearing unique armor and started using more numbers and other identifiers.
Read the kilo 5 series broken circle and the new halo novel coming out this year about the arbiter if you want to know more about the elites or want to listen to something at work or read something at home
@@rushpatriot2866 I am very familiar with the lore lore surrounding the Sangheili lol I'm suggesting it for other people. I'm also not a huge fan of the Kilo-Five trilogy, but that's a different topic.
I miss every MJOLNIR looking the same. The numbers (braille for some reason in GEN2?) on the chest always vexed me. Just straight-up placing a bullseye on 'The Demon' for the Covenant. Asinine.
I would think that in terms of waste disposal and nutrient intake that Spartans themselves dont actually do any of that while in mjolnir. Id think it'd be more efficient for mjolnir to feed spartans intravenously thus minimizing any waste products. Maybe it even includes a sort of dialysis function.
Something slightly humorous I'd like to see in lore that is a limitation to armor like this. I lost an eyelash while stuck in a gas mask. That tiny annoyance really sucked and would have significantly reduced combat effectiveness as I 1 was distracted and 2 had a significant reduction in vision in my dominant eye.
LOL "point of frustration that though they looked the same halsey could tell them apart by how they walked."That's what happens when the closest thing you have to a mom is around
I had no idea Spartans had better digestive systems compared to normal people. As someone who has been working out for the past 2 years, I’m quite jealous that my body can’t pull as much nutrients from the food that I eat as a Spartan can 😔
Okay, so here is what I don't understand. The armor has a self-destruct feature in case of emergency, such as the death of the occupant or possible tampering. Why, in Rubicon protocol and infinite, this armor systems didn't activate? AI and data were able to be retrieved from fallen Spartans along with gear and sensitive equipment.
Bonus point to fact 5? If a Spartan had to wear their Mjolnir long enough (say, stuck for several weeks in hostile territory), there's a good chance they'd lose control over a certain set of muscles that would have gone unused. To put it bluntly, they would very likely need UNSC-issued adult diapers for a short while afterwards.
A point on the Failsafe: It appears to have been disabled on the Gen 3 armors, given the failsafe didn’t trigger when a Spartan 4 fell to Flood infection and code word CORRUPTER was activated.
As far as the "going number 2" debate. I'm of the mindset that they rarely defecate to begin with. Their digestive systems absorb almost everything they eat, and if there is something left over, it would probably be very small and look like rabbit droppings. However that is STILL waste. I imagine their rectum has probably been modified with some sort of quick connection device, that allows for easy connection to MJOLNIR, but also allows normal body functions when out of it. (Think Spartan Neural Interface but for your butthole). So if there *are* droppings, they are immediately vaporized as they exit your body and then the suit either stores the gas for some form of energy, or just expels the gas through a discharge port. TLDR: Spartans poop little rabbit pellets every few days that are instantly vaporized by the suit, turned into a gas, and then released as a big Spartan fart.
I have a question for a potential video topic : Which Mjolnir variant is the strongest in regards to armor durability / protection, shield strength and how much the armor boost the users combat effectiveness and overall performance?
I’m not sure if there’s enough information to make a serious comparison, but I’d love to see a head to head of Mjolnir and the Martian/Laconian powered armor from the Expanse series. I assume the Spartans would be superior considering the meaty portion of the equation is a lot more advanced, but still.
Best facts are the one with Halsey and the Covenant when it comes to differentiating Spartan 2s. This whole Demon myth even grows with the inclusion of the varied Spartan 3s look and onward while MC retained his original green armour. I think the only time the myth will be changed is if The Covenant encounters the Red Team and survive to live the tale (since they would've encountered the Spartan squad at the same time compared to MC who went solo for awhile).
19:09 I always took it that they (the Covenant) faced other Spartans, but HE was The Demon because he couldn’t be beaten. Then again, I think in Ghosts of Onyx the elite called Kurt a demon, so idk.
Not sure if youll see this, but didnt fred also set his armour to selfdestruct in Last Light? After Interpid Eye compromised his suit, Blue team had to extract him from his suit then they used it to destroy Gao Wyverns.
I still think they took the concept of armor customization a little too far for the lore, sure do whatever for the multiplayer, but in cannon lore the armor should still be much less diverse, if for no other reason every variation is going to take money to develop, money that no military would spend just to let soldiers look unique within their unit, sure each Spartan could run different web gear on the armor, or grab a can of paint to customize it, or maybe Kelly wants to run lighter and drop a few armor panels to keep her speed up, that's about as far as it should go though
The Covenant when they encounter an exact spartan clone in another planet: F*ck! It is a demon! It is inmortal! The Covenant when they first encountered a team of unique spartans: THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND! NOW THERE ARE TWO OF THEM! SHOOT THEM OR SOMETHING!
5:03 my recollection is that this is detailed in one of the nylund books as costing the same an actual frigate Also an idea for a video would be 10 Discrepancies between book and game lore
It would be awesome to see a mission revolving around something like an underwater covenant base or forerunner structure, maybe like Soma but with the flood you it would be a nice way to introduce different enemy types or other fun mechanics
I've always wanted someone to make a video on the Halo 5 Atlas armor, my fav armor from H5, it was described as being a spartan equivalent of a main battle tank once it has its upgrade modules
the books specifically mentioned that the ENTIRE cost of the Spartan 2 program could have fielded an entire fleet of cutting edge Frigates. so the cost was Obscene
What I would have suggested for being able to tell each other apart in the early suits would be to have a HUD overlay someone's name and tag about their head like in modern video games
@@Lahiss I'm talking about the early suits, Mk4 for example, the suits where they complained about not being able to tell each other apart in the books, not the games which are set post 2552. I'm not doubting the in game HUD is canon.
How come brutes can 1v1 Spartans sometimes. You would think most generations would be 10x faster. Because if a stock brute is that fast, how the hell were they ever beaten and consumed by the covenant with older tech. Also what the HELL was going on with their home world for a creature like that to exist.
3:52 after seeing this as a kid I never wanted to be a spartan again didn’t help I also just seen some of those crazy bone break videos that were a little popular on yt back then
I saw another Lore enthusiast talking about the mjolnir system and he said that the force multiplying circuits were in the tech suit and that the Armor was separate and just plating. Is that correct, that the mjolnir is really the techsuit, which is modular?
Gen 1 mark 1 a big thing from the movie alliens that requires a power cord. basically. for whatever reason, dipsite having hydrolic powered odst suites, it was junk. Mark 2 they added a fission pack? Tried with the crystal muscles again? Mark 3 the cyclops. great platform fission pack. for whatever reason, they deliberately used a version of a fission reactor that uses run away fission, when non run away versions that can not go out of control existed a long time ago. Mjolnir SUITE MOVES THE USER before the messages would get to the muscles distinct from tech suite AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET USED O. BUt this means fast, verry fast. Mark IV first crystal muscle suite. FORCE MULTIPLYING no sheilds, big fusion power pack. Mark V Sheil Halo combat evolved. Did not have integrated nanite injectors (so the unsc made sure there were heatlh packs everywehre) Mark VI Halo 2 and three. No more health packs needed. nanites in suite mark 7 special suite they didn't bother with making too many for the most part for reasons, like mass production version and replacement with gen 3 Probably what the cheif was in for infinate,w hich is why it could be upgraded Gen 2 Mass production Vastly inferior but much cheaper The mass production spartands where the only intended spartands for it NO FORCE MULTIPLICATION this means putting a spartan II in it makes for a weaker spartan (spartan 3's in gen 1 were still stronger than gen two, but much weeker than psartan II's) magnifies the user's strength, so spartan twos were stronger in them than spartan 3's Spartan lock had his butt saved and was able to have a grilly fight with cheif bwecause he was shoved into this peice of crap, but because cheif was so strong and the tech suites aren't force multiplying... well, cheif should have smashed him still anyway. Gen 3 NO FORCE MULTIPLICATION TeCH SUIT The tech suite was easier to adjust to because it didn't move the spartan too quickly, but that is also it's drawback, beyond no force multiplication. Rockets and stuff eventually found their way inside the suite, because that is where rockest belong. GEN 4????? RPG suite. can be upgraded like in a video game and on the fly in the feild with cool lilttle pickups.or maybe this is just a special mark VII, making it by far the most powerful suite ever made by modern humans. Stll robably not enough to be class three on the forrunner combat skin scale.
Watching Halo season 2 episode 6 seeing the Spartan III’s and remembering Cortana take over Chief in the season 1 finale got me to thinking could Humanity have instead have made squads of heavy duty spartan like Droids in teams of 5-10 squads that with specially made A.I. would link up with all suits and go into battle. Regarding S2 E6 watching the Spartan III’s glide through space landing on the ship I feel AI could have controlled them to move and not get killed. Also I feel AI controlled swarms of small ships would be great against Covenant ships
I'm going to say going to the bathroom would be handled like today. Go before, unsuit and go, go on yourself. Maybe the suit does something with the waste. Dissolves it into energy.
When you think about it once the Spartans showed up the covenant started to turn into cowards, it was easy for them when all they were fighting was basic marines They no longer could fight on the ground and took the battle to outer space because the Spartans were too deadly for them I think the covenant should of cut their losses and just went after a different species
@@agoddamnferret nobody cares about spartan VI's. I'm talking about if they were able to use mk VI mjolnir from the start then instead of Spartans wed have power armored helljumpers

'10 Facts about the Sangheili you might not know' would be cool.
Read the kilo 5 series broken circle and the new halo novel coming out this year about the arbiter if you want to know more about the elites or want to listen to something at work or read something at home
@@rushpatriot2866 I am very familiar with the lore lore surrounding the Sangheili lol I'm suggesting it for other people.
I'm also not a huge fan of the Kilo-Five trilogy, but that's a different topic.
" do you have any idea how expensive this gear is son?"-Master Guns
I miss every MJOLNIR looking the same. The numbers (braille for some reason in GEN2?) on the chest always vexed me. Just straight-up placing a bullseye on 'The Demon' for the Covenant. Asinine.
I would think that in terms of waste disposal and nutrient intake that Spartans themselves dont actually do any of that while in mjolnir. Id think it'd be more efficient for mjolnir to feed spartans intravenously thus minimizing any waste products. Maybe it even includes a sort of dialysis function.
Always love your videos the amount of technical data that you add is what always gets me coming back for more!!
Do you plan on doing most detailed videos on less popular UNSC ships like the Halberd class and the various carriers?
Spartan 4s in Infinite are like the red shirts in Star Trek.
Right dude.
Something slightly humorous I'd like to see in lore that is a limitation to armor like this. I lost an eyelash while stuck in a gas mask. That tiny annoyance really sucked and would have significantly reduced combat effectiveness as I 1 was distracted and 2 had a significant reduction in vision in my dominant eye.
LOL "point of frustration that though they looked the same halsey could tell them apart by how they walked."That's what happens when the closest thing you have to a mom is around
How about the top 10 Spartan Augmentations we could (theoretically) preform today, or are relatively close to being able to preform.
Always love the content. I love how informative and calming it is. It’s very direct yet keeps me engaged throughout the video. Keep up the good work.
of course halsey could tell who is who just by the way they walk while covered in mjolnir amor, that woman is a forerunner disguised as human.
Think that could be the Librarian's influence?
I had no idea Spartans had better digestive systems compared to normal people. As someone who has been working out for the past 2 years, I’m quite jealous that my body can’t pull as much nutrients from the food that I eat as a Spartan can 😔
I no longer want to be a spartan after the urethra part
it wouldn't have surprised me if ONI had some kind of remote self destruct built into early MOJLNIR so there would be no traitor spartans
Hahaha, the little dig at getting Chief's feet wet at the end... priceless! 😂
How about soon 10 facts about the Covenant? Just a thought
Or the forerunners, ancient humans or precursor.
@@joshuadoncouse5432 Perhaps.
A single suit of armor may cost as much as a starship, but the development may have cost the equivalent of a trillion dollars in todays money
Okay, so here is what I don't understand. The armor has a self-destruct feature in case of emergency, such as the death of the occupant or possible tampering. Why, in Rubicon protocol and infinite, this armor systems didn't activate? AI and data were able to be retrieved from fallen Spartans along with gear and sensitive equipment.
10 things about ONI (you didn’t hear this suggestion from me)
10 Things About Covenant & Human Planets
I can’t even imagine how fast that reaction timing really is 😮💨
The Arbiter. Or how about the Humans vs the Forerunners? And what did Dr Halsey know about them when creating the Spartans?
Another reason I seem to remember the covenant calling Mister Beef “Demon” is because of the blank faceplate of the Spartan helmet
Bonus point to fact 5? If a Spartan had to wear their Mjolnir long enough (say, stuck for several weeks in hostile territory), there's a good chance they'd lose control over a certain set of muscles that would have gone unused. To put it bluntly, they would very likely need UNSC-issued adult diapers for a short while afterwards.
No1: the AutoJacker
Would still love to see a 10 Spartan III or Headhunters facts
Can you do a "10 Facts about Spartan-IIIs you might not know" and address the misconceptions that IIIs are weaker then IIs?
A point on the Failsafe:
It appears to have been disabled on the Gen 3 armors, given the failsafe didn’t trigger when a Spartan 4 fell to Flood infection and code word CORRUPTER was activated.
As far as the "going number 2" debate. I'm of the mindset that they rarely defecate to begin with. Their digestive systems absorb almost everything they eat, and if there is something left over, it would probably be very small and look like rabbit droppings. However that is STILL waste. I imagine their rectum has probably been modified with some sort of quick connection device, that allows for easy connection to MJOLNIR, but also allows normal body functions when out of it. (Think Spartan Neural Interface but for your butthole). So if there *are* droppings, they are immediately vaporized as they exit your body and then the suit either stores the gas for some form of energy, or just expels the gas through a discharge port.
TLDR: Spartans poop little rabbit pellets every few days that are instantly vaporized by the suit, turned into a gas, and then released as a big Spartan fart.
I know Haloid (created by montyoum rest in peace) isn't canon but I think that's the only time I seen on video a Spartan using their fail safe.
I thought it was quoted that it cost the same as a unsc destroyer?
I have a question for a potential video topic : Which Mjolnir variant is the strongest in regards to armor durability / protection, shield strength and how much the armor boost the users combat effectiveness and overall performance?
I’m not sure if there’s enough information to make a serious comparison, but I’d love to see a head to head of Mjolnir and the Martian/Laconian powered armor from the Expanse series. I assume the Spartans would be superior considering the meaty portion of the equation is a lot more advanced, but still.
Best facts are the one with Halsey and the Covenant when it comes to differentiating Spartan 2s. This whole Demon myth even grows with the inclusion of the varied Spartan 3s look and onward while MC retained his original green armour. I think the only time the myth will be changed is if The Covenant encounters the Red Team and survive to live the tale (since they would've encountered the Spartan squad at the same time compared to MC who went solo for awhile).
19:09 I always took it that they (the Covenant) faced other Spartans, but HE was The Demon because he couldn’t be beaten.
Then again, I think in Ghosts of Onyx the elite called Kurt a demon, so idk.
Not sure if youll see this, but didnt fred also set his armour to selfdestruct in Last Light? After Interpid Eye compromised his suit, Blue team had to extract him from his suit then they used it to destroy Gao Wyverns.
I still think they took the concept of armor customization a little too far for the lore, sure do whatever for the multiplayer, but in cannon lore the armor should still be much less diverse, if for no other reason every variation is going to take money to develop, money that no military would spend just to let soldiers look unique within their unit, sure each Spartan could run different web gear on the armor, or grab a can of paint to customize it, or maybe Kelly wants to run lighter and drop a few armor panels to keep her speed up, that's about as far as it should go though
The Covenant when they encounter an exact spartan clone in another planet: F*ck! It is a demon! It is inmortal!
The Covenant when they first encountered a team of unique spartans: THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND! NOW THERE ARE TWO OF THEM! SHOOT THEM OR SOMETHING!
The AI voice is even better this time around
The armor plugs into you in many areas...
Suddenly I'm not so sure I wanna be a spartan anymore
Bros duel wielding the plasma pistols at the end 😂
Great vid! Miss the halo wars 2 menu music on the intro tho :)
5:03 my recollection is that this is detailed in one of the nylund books as costing the same an actual frigate
Also an idea for a video would be 10 Discrepancies between book and game lore
It would be awesome to see a mission revolving around something like an underwater covenant base or forerunner structure, maybe like Soma but with the flood you it would be a nice way to introduce different enemy types or other fun mechanics
I've always wanted someone to make a video on the Halo 5 Atlas armor, my fav armor from H5, it was described as being a spartan equivalent of a main battle tank once it has its upgrade modules
the books specifically mentioned that the ENTIRE cost of the Spartan 2 program could have fielded an entire fleet of cutting edge Frigates. so the cost was Obscene
🤯never knew the reason Master Chief was referred to as 'Demon' until now.
When I think of predecessors to the MJOLNIR I think the prototype suit from GHOST.
I knew almost everything
Because I've watched your videos for years 😂🎉
What I would have suggested for being able to tell each other apart in the early suits would be to have a HUD overlay someone's name and tag about their head like in modern video games
Well they have that. Halo HUD is not just a video game thing. That is actually what Chief and other spartans see in their helmets.
@@Lahiss I'm talking about the early suits, Mk4 for example, the suits where they complained about not being able to tell each other apart in the books, not the games which are set post 2552.
I'm not doubting the in game HUD is canon.
just a big giant sort of “REVIVE” marker from COD Zombies but it displays the Spartan’s name
How come brutes can 1v1 Spartans sometimes.
You would think most generations would be 10x faster.
Because if a stock brute is that fast, how the hell were they ever beaten and consumed by the covenant with older tech.
Also what the HELL was going on with their home world for a creature like that to exist.
Super gravity is all I know
The armor possibly/most likely recycling and ridding of human waste is very interesting I must say.
3:52 after seeing this as a kid I never wanted to be a spartan again didn’t help I also just seen some of those crazy bone break videos that were a little popular on yt back then
I saw another Lore enthusiast talking about the mjolnir system and he said that the force multiplying circuits were in the tech suit and that the Armor was separate and just plating. Is that correct, that the mjolnir is really the techsuit, which is modular?
I had no idea there were mechs in the halo universe. If that got put into a game, I'd consider buying it.
Of course I knew all of them I did a most detailed course on MJOLNIR Armor well except the enema and the reaction time. Cheers
Spartans never die, they're just missing in action
Gen 1
mark 1
a big thing from the movie alliens that requires a power cord. basically. for whatever reason, dipsite having hydrolic powered odst suites, it was junk.
Mark 2
they added a fission pack? Tried with the crystal muscles again?
Mark 3
the cyclops. great platform
fission pack.
for whatever reason, they deliberately used a version of a fission reactor that uses run away fission, when non run away versions that can not go out of control existed a long time ago.
Mjolnir
SUITE MOVES THE USER before the messages would get to the muscles distinct from tech suite AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET USED O. BUt this means fast, verry fast.
Mark IV
first crystal muscle suite.
FORCE MULTIPLYING
no sheilds, big fusion power pack.
Mark V
Sheil
Halo combat evolved.
Did not have integrated nanite injectors (so the unsc made sure there were heatlh packs everywehre)
Mark VI
Halo 2 and three.
No more health packs needed.
nanites in suite
mark 7
special suite they didn't bother with making too many for the most part for reasons, like mass production version and replacement with gen 3
Probably what the cheif was in for infinate,w hich is why it could be upgraded
Gen 2
Mass production
Vastly inferior but much cheaper
The mass production spartands where the only intended spartands for it
NO FORCE MULTIPLICATION
this means putting a spartan II in it makes for a weaker spartan (spartan 3's in gen 1 were still stronger than gen two, but much weeker than psartan II's)
magnifies the user's strength, so spartan twos were stronger in them than spartan 3's
Spartan lock had his butt saved and was able to have a grilly fight with cheif bwecause he was shoved into this peice of crap, but because cheif was so strong and the tech suites aren't force multiplying... well, cheif should have smashed him still anyway.
Gen 3
NO FORCE MULTIPLICATION
TeCH SUIT
The tech suite was easier to adjust to because it didn't move the spartan too quickly, but that is also it's drawback, beyond no force multiplication.
Rockets and stuff eventually found their way inside the suite, because that is where rockest belong.
GEN 4?????
RPG suite. can be upgraded like in a video game and on the fly in the feild with cool lilttle pickups.or maybe this is just a special mark VII, making it by far the most powerful suite ever made by modern humans. Stll robably not enough to be class three on the forrunner combat skin scale.
Hyabusa?
Watching Halo season 2 episode 6 seeing the Spartan III’s and remembering Cortana take over Chief in the season 1 finale got me to thinking could Humanity have instead have made squads of heavy duty spartan like Droids in teams of 5-10 squads that with specially made A.I. would link up with all suits and go into battle. Regarding S2 E6 watching the Spartan III’s glide through space landing on the ship I feel AI could have controlled them to move and not get killed. Also I feel AI controlled swarms of small ships would be great against Covenant ships
and how you can fight and focus while catheterized? i guess that's why they are the best of the best
?
There are a couple instances in-game when you are allowed to navigate underwater... the pelican down scene on Sierra 117 springs to mind.
I'm going to say going to the bathroom would be handled like today. Go before, unsuit and go, go on yourself. Maybe the suit does something with the waste. Dissolves it into energy.
Fighting with a catheter must be an experience...
My favorite armor would have to be the Mark V [B] due to me always enjoying being Noble Six during the campaign of *Halo: Reach.*
In halo 3 we got a change to swim. In halo 4 the converant was calling fireteam crimson demon.
14:50 i thought Fred blew his pack on Gao, but the team just dropped a nuke on it.
When you think about it once the Spartans showed up the covenant started to turn into cowards, it was easy for them when all they were fighting was basic marines
They no longer could fight on the ground and took the battle to outer space because the Spartans were too deadly for them I think the covenant should of cut their losses and just went after a different species
Imagine if mjolnir was able to be used by odst, we'd have a whole different halo story
I mean that's MOST of who the spartan IVs were. ODSTs who wanted in
@@agoddamnferret nobody cares about spartan VI's. I'm talking about if they were able to use mk VI mjolnir from the start then instead of Spartans wed have power armored helljumpers
@@_-_-_L_-_-_ durr durr durr, that's the point, most of those guys were hell jumpers before, they just joined the program. So you do get them you just get all upset over anyone pointing out that you got them in a way you didn't like because the entire fanbase is a bunch of toxic little manchildren
@@_-_-_L_-_-_ hey idiot, Spartan 4s literally are ODSTs.. a lot of ODSTs became Spartan 4s as they were already the top elite
I recall the price tag of Mj is around a destroyer star ship, slip drive included
Fred overloaded his fusion reactor in one of the books too.
