Hope y'all enjoy! If you do then please don't hesitate to leave a like + share it around, this video took like 20-30 hours of editing, writing, footage gathering hhaha so I'd really appreciate it. Turns out Reach has a lot of armor! Who would've guessed it?
Spartans are normally encouraged to customise their gear, seeing as the helmet carvings fell under that category, and the fact the Emile is Giga-chad re-incarnated, ONI couldn't do shit.
Jorge: *puts extra armor pieces on his suit* Dr. Halsey: Jorge, what did you do to my armor? Emile: *Literally scratches a skull into his helmet* Dr. Halsey: (*Scared by the skull*) Cool
hate to be “that guy” but i’m pretty sure that’s because Jorge is the only spartan mkII in noble team, and Emile is a spartan mkIII so Jorge’s armour was given to him from Halsey herself / her team on the spartan mkII program :)
@@reeceroberts9693 you made the Point i was about to say that, we can see from the dialogues then she look at III's with a different eye, because they are the oni's pet soldiers and not her's
I love halo reachs armor so much, you actually feel and look like an operator that belongs in an actual combat zone. Where as Halo 4 and 5 makes you look like a Powerranger
@@gregmattes2119 ripped of destiny's look without the flowing cloth pieces which kills that specific look. Also even Destiny looks more battle worn then halo 4 and 5....
I think halsey is rather stupid. She mentioned the armour costs as much as a starship. Ok Now lets see what master chief can do with 1) cant rapple or climb with ropes . Any basic commando of a third rate army can do it. No he is badically too heavy. Instead he needs a jetpack incurring more expenses 2) Such an expensive spartan armour yet dies from a sniper bullet or plasma grenade . Starships tells master chief to hold its beer. I seriously think she just wasted money on master thief( the thief is intentionsl)
@@abhisheksikdar2329 In the books chief is able to stand on a wooden pole about a centimeter or two in diameter during a test of the armor. A rope could probably hold that.
@@tommyspringer3693 in the same books it reads the armored behemoth weighs around 550 kgs . so plzz sir , irequest you to use ur brain and not believe all the garbage the boioks have written thing is they can write tom , dick and harry in books. in actual gameplay i believe. and i dont think chief did anything a normal soldier cant. silliest thing: motherfucker can flip a tank, but still dies under its weight if it falls on him. isnt that silly
Abhishek Sikdar Spartans don't need to rapple down places. If they need to go down they'll jump down. Also we don't know if he could rapple with a rope because we haven't seen a Spartan try it nor do we know what the ropes are like. They can die from that but they can also survive them. That's literally just two negatives.
My brother hated me for how often I wanted to stop and customize my armor, years later snd I still look to this armor as the best armor in any video game (looks and gameplay wise) and I'm excited to use it again when MCC hits PC...
Me too! Still do it now and since me and my brother did split screen I would always ask him to not start yet so I can change colours or to buy something or change armour
ONI: Emile, you know you're not supposed to deface your armor, right? Emile: C'mon, man. My helmet is freaking badass. ONI: ...You make a damn good point...
I still remember my OG armor set Helmet: FC-I Air Assault Chest: Tactical/Recon Shoulders: Hazop Utility: Tactical/Hard Case Wrist: Tactical/Tacpad Knees Guards: FJ/Para Visor: Blue Primary Color: Blue Secondary Color: Forest Loved that armor combination and always try to replicate it in future installments
Mine was Spartan II Helmet, with the commando shoulders, commando chest piece, the Tactical hardcase utility, The red map wrist thing, the Grenadier for knee’s with my primary color as Black and Red. :)
Bungie: Let's put a lot of thought and care into the armor we design down to how it functions all the way to how awesome it looks. 343: *farting noises*
The lore behind the haunted helmet was of a spartan that played soo much halo 3, that his comprised diet of hot cheetos and mntDew was soo strong, that he died while sitting in his lazy boy couch. Nobel 6 found him in a cave, mind you the same cave nobel six survived in at the end of reach and thus the haunted helmet was found...
never happened to me...however kat has run me over, drove us off the cliff, stood in my way as im trying to drive my ghost to avoid a revant blast....kat+vehicles=you dying... a lot....never let her drive..only let her shoot....if you really want her help
The haunted helmet could EASILY be canon - Gungnir has an internalized (visorless) HUD, so what's stopping a holographic projection of a skull in the visor?
@@griffingower1883 if I remember correctly, it looks really lame in halo 4 cause they ditched any and all heavy armor looks in exchange for the lame ass latex mobility suits
This is why I love Reach's customization (and art style) compared to any other Halo game. Each armor piece has a specific functionality. 4 and 5 look like they just designed whatever looks okay or cool and threw it in.
Also for me personally I hated the new armour designs in 4 and 5, I think halo 3 has the best looking Spartans but reach has the coolest most legit and tough looking armors
7:35 What practicality does an extra large visor have for combat in space? Wouldn't you want LESS glass that can crack in combat exposing you to the vacuums of space?
Humans are very flat in how we perceive things. We instinctively like to look left and right for things, and in the presence of gravity it usually is effective. When in space the enemy could be in any direction even directly up. So they must have as much visibility as possible to see their targets.
Real reason: To look like astronaut helmets. Best possible in universe reason: Most land combat happens mostly two dimensionally. In space since everything floats all space combat is going to be three dimensional and enemies can come pretty much from any direction. Bigger visor = more visibility.
Now for the Halo 5 video: "Materials Group got absolutely wasted at a 'we beat the Covenant' party and drew up designs they don't even remember creating."
@@StainderFin unlike the star wars sequels halo 4 and 5 have a lot of lore so its kinda hard to forget, don’t get me wrong I still want to forget them, its just hard to.
Imagine being an ODST, pissed off about all these damn Spartans, and then seeing one with ODST armor. Something I’m confused about is the fact that some of these helmets were used by normal Army soldiers... were they modified to be used with standard issue armor rather than Mjolnir? Like how Dare in ODST has a Recon helmet despite being an ODST?
I'm sure there were non-Mjolnir variants that were developed alongside them. For example, the police variant. I doubt the police force would have had some Spartans, and instead would have MUCH less costly versions of the Mjolnir system developed for peacekeeping purposes.
ODST, Air Assault and Military Police were clearly designed for non-Mjolnir users first, then ported over. The lack of background information on the indepth development of the other systems makes it harder to say. What muddies the water further is that other power-armour programs/standards existed besides Mjolnir (Hayabusa and Javelin for example). Were these systems for Spartans or designed for rival supersoldier programs?
Dare wasn't actually an ODST She was an ONI operative who was working with Bucks ODST team so I presume she got the recon helmet frrom ONI and since she was basically a spy I imagine the Recon helmet suited her due to its stealthy nature and protection value.
Mjolnir i think is mainly the Shielding system. considering how expenive Mjolnir is in game lore it would never be justified having so many versions of the Armor that this video discuses if Mjolnir could not be modified to use many different armor scenes.
I always thought the Haunted customization meant that the person inside had died, but an AI continued piloting their armor, making them walking corpses.
Emile is a spartan 3 his armor isn't hers, she was head of the spartan II and mjolnir project, the offshoots of mjolnir and the spartan III are ONI's stuff.
@@Cantguardkunai got me on there but still, that armor isn’t even Spartan III armor, she might just be referencing him changing from a Spartan II to a Spartan III
What I love about halos armour is that its for anyone with specific talents and needs and looks like it fulfils that role with its great design. EOD for those great with dealing with explosives. Scout for talented ranged soldiers. EVA for those that need to go into space. You see what I mean right? it feels so real but with a nice tint of fantasy.
"Mark-IV armour didn't have shields". Well, except Jorge; the only Mark-IV variant with shields in canon, due to the whole "shielding testbed" thing. In fact, Jorge-052 could even be wearing the very first shielded Mjolnir PAA.
In the Mission to take back sword base to get to Dr hallsy when she sees Jorge she asks what he did to " my armor" I think that he had the first one, because she seen his armor and realized what armor it was exactly, so yes i agree with you
I'll always have super fond memories of getting Reach and looking at the customization menu and just being in awe of all the different armor variants and being super excited to customize my character. Finally getting Gungnir and equipping it was such a huge feeling accomplished and highlight for me because as soon as I saw it I was like "Holy shit that's crazy! I want that helmet). I also think it's neat that my Spartan looks exactly the same as Luc's! Expect my colors are dark gray and black.
I love the CQB helmet and in MCC, my Spartan currently wears it. Also, it bears a sleight resemblance to Mandalorian helmets from Star Wars thanks to the T-visor look. So, in my book, that’s badass. “This is the way.”
Freind: why do you have so many shotgun shells on you, your using a sword Me: what if I run out Freind: run out of what?! Me: yes Freind: whats in your thigh bag? Me: shells Freind:*disconnects*
I'm going to make a load out with the maximum amount off ammo. I'll look like an 80's action hero. Ammo on the chest ,on the shoulders, on the wrists and on the thighs. He'll be a high risk of blowing up if he ever gets hit.
Reach definitely had the best, most thought-out armor variations. They made the Spartans look bulky and tough. Many hours were spent playing reach on 360 just to unlock pieces.
@@generalreclaimer2068 *At the low price of over 1billion dollars. But not only that, they weight the comfortable weight of 1000 pounds. Money please :)*
@@HiddenXperia would that be covering Halo 3s Elite armour also? That game has my favourites, I think Covenant Canon did something like that already but Id like to see one from the iconic man himself
Why do i imagine a marine or scientist or somethin giving spartan III's in training a presentation on which armor will be given to them but they somehow just show this video and let HiddenXperia explain for 'em
One of my favorite parts of Halo 3 was collecting the armor, I really liked the way it was handled there, where it was unlocked via achievements. Even though I couldn’t understand the descriptions of most the armor variants, I liked the fact that someone had actually taken some time to write about them. Although I don’t much like 343’s armor styles, Halo 5 has a lot of cool descriptions on the permutations too. I was reading them just yesterday. Nice little bit of lore.
Remember when I got this game I'm middle school I played it so much I was able to unlock all of the armor form just fire fight and the campaign cause at the time I didn't have Xbox live gold. The hours I had in this game.
EVA will always be my favourite, sure it’s not the most badass or bulky thing out there but I just love it’s looks, especially if you paint a skull on it
I have an idea for armor Kevlar layer under a sheet of strong metal Helmet should get support from the chest piece to move around Leg armor same Then fitted with aim tec and also oxygen comes from the sides This is a pro type of system
We need this customization back. So many unique combinations. Even if they introduce new armor types.. as long as they're as good and efficiently detailed as Reach's that's what matters.
I don't even own an Xbox, my brother does and we used to play Halo all the time. I, sadly, don't think they'll ever go back to being this in-depth with detail and having an immense amount of customization. There's always hopes and dreams but I'm not gonna get them too high
The lore behind the armor in 4/5 is that it's almost entirely outsourced to private companies, some of the original companies like the one's listed in this video make SIV armor too but it's mostly newer ones which is why there's so much and why they have really weird designs for niche purposes. Basically car production but for Spartan IV armor. The armor made during the war emphasized general effectiveness across different roles while the armor post war is both a fashion show and highly specialized
Halo: Reach had this aesthetic about it just not found in any other Halo game. I distinctly remember the armour I favoured all those years ago: Helmet: Recon (UA/HUL[3]) (black visor) Shoulders: ODST (both) Chest: UA/COUNTERASSAULT Wrist: Tactical/TACPAD Utility: Tactical/Soft Case Knee Guards: FJ/PARA Primary Colour: Maroon Secondary Colour: Steel Those were the days. :)
18:28 In regards to the Tactical/Patrol chest piece, the thing on the back isn't a backpack. It's a camel pack, which is a storage device for holding water for long operations as evidenced by the long wire along the collar.
Almost. Chances are it likely also contains a camelpak, which is actually used for (in addition to holding water for long operations) allowing the user to quickly hydrate themselves in any kind of heat.
Has no one ever mentioned where spartans keep their mags? At the end of the day they are still elite soldiers operating conventional weapons. Kinda wished the armors have actual magazine pouches rather than random grenade belts.
Oni: Come on now Emile, you know defacing your armor like that is against code Emile: you gonna try and take it from me then? Oni: ...I guess you can use that helmet for now.
I loved the uncarved version of EVA helmet with the extra bit of armor across the top of the visor. It looked like a old school sweatband that 80's basketball players wore
I’m a simple man I see a HiddenXperia video: I click. I see a 20 minute HiddenXperia video: I roll up into a blanket cocoon with some kind of snack, and I click.
My armor set that I’m still trying to achieve: Helmet: MJolnir Mark V Left shoulder: Commando Right shoulder: MJolnir Mark V Chest: Commando Wrist: Tac-pad Visor: Gold Knee guards: FJ/Para Primary Color: Dark Green Secondary Color: Dark blue I have everything on this list except my right shoulder and I’m almost at brigadier level to unlock it, I also have the credits needed. Sadly the past 9 years of work will go to waste since I’ll be restarting on halo reach on the mcc. But I still enjoyed all the time put in to earn the armor. :)
Military Police is my favorite helmet, i like to use it with the smallest shoulder pads, making it look like the marines (or army troopers/pilots, idk) on Long Night of Solace
I loved the SPI armor ever since I saw it on the cover of the book "Ghosts of Onyx" and I've wanted it in a halo game ever since. I don't think I'm going to have this wish granted any time soon.
Let's hope Infinite is that game. I say mainly because of the fact that due to the current circumstances in war against the banished, both the remaining UNFC and ONI members are forced into utilizing older tech such as older mk.3 armor for gen 2 as a base for chief. With that in mind, your not alone in hopes that this armor comes soon, especially with a bigger chance than ever now that the next halo will "supposedly" be the last mainline one for th next ten years.
Hope y'all enjoy! If you do then please don't hesitate to leave a like + share it around, this video took like 20-30 hours of editing, writing, footage gathering hhaha so I'd really appreciate it. Turns out Reach has a lot of armor! Who would've guessed it?

7:35 What practicality does an extra large visor have for combat in space? Wouldn't you want LESS glass that can crack in combat exposing you to the vacuums of space?
mihajlo525 - I'm not sure why but for the shuttle programs, the visor was so extensive to increase visibility as much as they could.
Infinite peripheral vision!
Haha I thought the same thing but I believe it's to look like astronaut helmets so players can go oh yes space armor
Humans are very flat in how we perceive things. We instinctively like to look left and right for things, and in the presence of gravity it usually is effective. When in space the enemy could be in any direction even directly up. So they must have as much visibility as possible to see their targets.
Real reason: To look like astronaut helmets.
Best possible in universe reason: Most land combat happens mostly two dimensionally. In space since everything floats all space combat is going to be three dimensional and enemies can come pretty much from any direction. Bigger visor = more visibility.
I'd kill for another halo like halo reach. I think it's fun to have your armor show up in campaign
Now for the Halo 5 video:
"Materials Group got absolutely wasted at a 'we beat the Covenant' party and drew up designs they don't even remember creating."
Underrated comment
no we dont play halo 5 we predenting it never happened
@@StainderFin unlike the star wars sequels halo 4 and 5 have a lot of lore so its kinda hard to forget, don’t get me wrong I still want to forget them, its just hard to.
@@StainderFin also, its a joke *(the comment made by MediumGraySky)* so no need to get serious about it
Dude, the production value on this video is bananas! Excellent video!
Thanks

I didn’t know you watched him. 🤔
Hey, fancy seeing you here.
ClenchingHalø 45 all halo youtubers watch all halo youtubers... it’s the rule
Imagine being an ODST, pissed off about all these damn Spartans, and then seeing one with ODST armor.
Something I’m confused about is the fact that some of these helmets were used by normal Army soldiers... were they modified to be used with standard issue armor rather than Mjolnir? Like how Dare in ODST has a Recon helmet despite being an ODST?
Sipher777 - Alex let me know if anyone answers
I'm sure there were non-Mjolnir variants that were developed alongside them. For example, the police variant. I doubt the police force would have had some Spartans, and instead would have MUCH less costly versions of the Mjolnir system developed for peacekeeping purposes.
ODST, Air Assault and Military Police were clearly designed for non-Mjolnir users first, then ported over. The lack of background information on the indepth development of the other systems makes it harder to say. What muddies the water further is that other power-armour programs/standards existed besides Mjolnir (Hayabusa and Javelin for example). Were these systems for Spartans or designed for rival supersoldier programs?
Dare wasn't actually an ODST She was an ONI operative who was working with Bucks ODST team so I presume she got the recon helmet frrom ONI and since she was basically a spy I imagine the Recon helmet suited her due to its stealthy nature and protection value.
Mjolnir i think is mainly the Shielding system. considering how expenive Mjolnir is in game lore it would never be justified having so many versions of the Armor that this video discuses if Mjolnir could not be modified to use many different armor scenes.
I always thought the Haunted customization meant that the person inside had died, but an AI continued piloting their armor, making them walking corpses.
Y-17 TRAUMA HARNESS OVERRIDE
I loved reach customization, I ran:
-Gungnir helmet full attachments (fins)
-Emile’s chest w robot arms
-Big knife right shoulder
-Sniper bullets left shoulder
-Shotgun shells wrist
-Big tactical leg pack
-Big knee guards
-Gold visor
6:24 "... was intended to be an improvement to the ODST helmet."
implying there could ever be a helmet better than ODST
Halo 2 odst helmet > All others
@@scythewise
Yeah nah nah nah
@@scythewise yeah. Its air assault nerd
@@cainthekilla717uh2 Virgin Air Assault
Wait The halo2 odst helmet is air assault
The Emile/Mario "Let'sa go!" immediately made it worth a like.
Eod helm: extra armour
*takes of the bottom part
I do love how that scene with Halsey and Jorge, Halsey is like “What have you done with my armor?” And Emile is standing right across from her lol
Emile is a spartan 3 his armor isn't hers, she was head of the spartan II and mjolnir project, the offshoots of mjolnir and the spartan III are ONI's stuff.
@@PeachDragon_ Jorge was a Spartan iii aswell
@@Shade571Jorge was a Spartan II
@@Cantguardkunai got me on there but still, that armor isn’t even Spartan III armor, she might just be referencing him changing from a Spartan II to a Spartan III
What I love about halos armour is that its for anyone with specific talents and needs and looks like it fulfils that role with its great design. EOD for those great with dealing with explosives.
Scout for talented ranged soldiers.
EVA for those that need to go into space. You see what I mean right? it feels so real but with a nice tint of fantasy.
Gungnir helmet: exists
6 yo me: *confused screaming*
"Mark-IV armour didn't have shields".
Well, except Jorge; the only Mark-IV variant with shields in canon, due to the whole "shielding testbed" thing. In fact, Jorge-052 could even be wearing the very first shielded Mjolnir PAA.
And red team
In the Mission to take back sword base to get to Dr hallsy when she sees Jorge she asks what he did to " my armor" I think that he had the first one, because she seen his armor and realized what armor it was exactly, so yes i agree with you
According to the "Fall of Reach" novel, John-117 was the first to have a shielded Mjolnir suit.
I’m pretty sure his armor is modified judging from the dialogue in the ending cutscene for Sword Base
@@MisterJohnDoe Additional armour and a replaced shoulder piece doesn't change that GRENADIER-class Mjolnir
is still a variant of Mk-IV.
I'll always have super fond memories of getting Reach and looking at the customization menu and just being in awe of all the different armor variants and being super excited to customize my character. Finally getting Gungnir and equipping it was such a huge feeling accomplished and highlight for me because as soon as I saw it I was like "Holy shit that's crazy! I want that helmet). I also think it's neat that my Spartan looks exactly the same as Luc's! Expect my colors are dark gray and black.
I love the CQB helmet and in MCC, my Spartan currently wears it. Also, it bears a sleight resemblance to Mandalorian helmets from Star Wars thanks to the T-visor look. So, in my book, that’s badass.

I'm going to make a load out with the maximum amount off ammo. I'll look like an 80's action hero. Ammo on the chest ,on the shoulders, on the wrists and on the thighs. He'll be a high risk of blowing up if he ever gets hit.

Reach definitely had the best, most thought-out armor variations. They made the Spartans look bulky and tough. Many hours were spent playing reach on 360 just to unlock pieces.
This sounds like a MJOLNIR armor commercial
I'd buy em' all

I guess all we need now is the lore behind the Halo Reach elite armor!
Ps. Great job on covering the lore Xperia! Thanks for the iconic video!
Thanks for watching friendo! I'll 100% be doing the Elites too, it won't be anywhere near as much of a pain to make as the Spartan's armor haha

@@HiddenXperia would that be covering Halo 3s Elite armour also? That game has my favourites, I think Covenant Canon did something like that already but Id like to see one from the iconic man himself
@@HiddenXperia and the halo 3 spartan armor
The Halo Reach armory is amazing. I'm surprised you didn't post this years back.
Just saying it would have been cool for him to mention hyiabusa armor
Azrael Vlogs that’s not even on halo reach dude
HiddenXperia: *Doesn’t talk about Caboose when he talks about Mark V*
My Dad: Why’re you crying?
You heard about the MCC achievement for beating the par time for The Package?
Why do i imagine a marine or scientist or somethin giving spartan III's in training a presentation on which armor will be given to them but they somehow just show this video and let HiddenXperia explain for 'em
One of my favorite parts of Halo 3 was collecting the armor, I really liked the way it was handled there, where it was unlocked via achievements. Even though I couldn’t understand the descriptions of most the armor variants, I liked the fact that someone had actually taken some time to write about them.
Although I don’t much like 343’s armor styles, Halo 5 has a lot of cool descriptions on the permutations too. I was reading them just yesterday. Nice little bit of lore.
Remember when I got this game I'm middle school I played it so much I was able to unlock all of the armor form just fire fight and the campaign cause at the time I didn't have Xbox live gold. The hours I had in this game.
SAME
Such a shame you can do that anymore, bloody battle pass had to come along and fuck all that up, damn you 343
EVA will always be my favourite, sure it’s not the most badass or bulky thing out there but I just love it’s looks, especially if you paint a skull on it
meh, the one with shotgun shells on its chest is by far the best.
Me- hasn’t played this game in almost 4 years
Also Me- *sees video* “this is the content I’m looking for”
I have an idea for armor
Kevlar layer under a sheet of strong metal
Helmet should get support from the chest piece to move around
Leg armor same
Then fitted with aim tec and also oxygen comes from the sides
This is a pro type of system
Now we need an 8 hour Halo 5 armor lore video
ok I can tell you for sure that is NEVER happening hahahahahahaha
Fossiled studios it’s all reskins
Yeah I didn’t care for the armor sets after reach. I pretend their art style just isn’t a thing.
In short. The UEG allow more corporations & more contract work to create more spartan exosuits to quickly jumpstart the UNSC defense post-war.
half the armor is reskins, it'd only take a mere 4 HOURS.
I learned alot about the armor that I always loved as a kid thanks man 😄
I’ve been waiting for CQB for the longest, thanks hidden
Sad to see so many of these attachments and even some of these helmets not appearing on the new Reach Battle pass...
Security, pilot, jfo, grenadier shoulders, fj para knife chest
What do you mean?
I’ve been trying To follow halo lore closely lately and your videos really help
8:35 I've been waiting for someone to pronounce that correctly since 2010!
and then he mispronounces gungnir.
As a German, it's kinda right pronounced, yes
We need this customization back. So many unique combinations. Even if they introduce new armor types.. as long as they're as good and efficiently detailed as Reach's that's what matters.
I don't even own an Xbox, my brother does and we used to play Halo all the time. I, sadly, don't think they'll ever go back to being this in-depth with detail and having an immense amount of customization. There's always hopes and dreams but I'm not gonna get them too high

I don't even know who you guys are talking about, so I need Hiddenxperia to cover it!
How did we go from these badass helmets with a very interesting lore to seeker
Dark Spartan Hell if I know.
The lore behind the armor in 4/5 is that it's almost entirely outsourced to private companies, some of the original companies like the one's listed in this video make SIV armor too but it's mostly newer ones which is why there's so much and why they have really weird designs for niche purposes. Basically car production but for Spartan IV armor. The armor made during the war emphasized general effectiveness across different roles while the armor post war is both a fashion show and highly specialized
This is a real grind to make this video but I love halo and really liked watching this so thanks for being the one willing to do this lol
No haunted isnt for intimidation purposes sadly. its the ghosts of dead Spartans coming back from the dead to finish this fight
But Spartans don't die, just end up missing in action.
@@ThiccBoiDaniel They're proclaimed MIA because the last time they said one was KIA they punched their way out of an urn after getting cremated.
To quote Kurt Ambrose, "Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die."
Halo: Reach had this aesthetic about it just not found in any other Halo game. I distinctly remember the armour I favoured all those years ago:
Helmet: Recon (UA/HUL[3]) (black visor)
Shoulders: ODST (both)
Chest: UA/COUNTERASSAULT
Wrist: Tactical/TACPAD
Utility: Tactical/Soft Case
Knee Guards: FJ/PARA
Primary Colour: Maroon
Secondary Colour: Steel
Those were the days. :)

In regards to the Tactical/Patrol chest piece, the thing on the back isn't a backpack. It's a camel pack, which is a storage device for holding water for long operations as evidenced by the long wire along the collar.
Almost. Chances are it likely also contains a camelpak, which is actually used for (in addition to holding water for long operations) allowing the user to quickly hydrate themselves in any kind of heat.
If you see closely you can see the tube where he can drink
Has no one ever mentioned where spartans keep their mags? At the end of the day they are still elite soldiers operating conventional weapons. Kinda wished the armors have actual magazine pouches rather than random grenade belts.
That's why i put armor pieces with pouches on them. Like the tactical series of chest armor.
Mark 5 is by farrrrr my favorite. I’ve always loved the way Mark 4 looks, and the upgrades added for the Mark 5 make it so much better imo lol
Well done pronouncing the makers of the JFO helmet 🙌🏻

I loved the uncarved version of EVA helmet with the extra bit of armor across the top of the visor. It looked like a old school sweatband that 80's basketball players wore
I’m a simple man
I see a HiddenXperia video: I click.
I see a 20 minute HiddenXperia video: I roll up into a blanket cocoon with some kind of snack, and I click.
My armor set that I’m still trying to achieve:
Helmet: MJolnir Mark V
Left shoulder: Commando
Right shoulder: MJolnir Mark V
Chest: Commando
Wrist: Tac-pad
Visor: Gold
Knee guards: FJ/Para
Primary Color: Dark Green
Secondary Color: Dark blue
I have everything on this list except my right shoulder and I’m almost at brigadier level to unlock it, I also have the credits needed. Sadly the past 9 years of work will go to waste since I’ll be restarting on halo reach on the mcc. But I still enjoyed all the time put in to earn the armor. :)
Trailspeed703 lol in mcc getting this shit is REDICULOUSLY easier
I always loved the little armor descriptions that they had
now that we have Reach
*_Do Halo 4 or 5's armor sets_* _evil laughter_
Military Police is my favorite helmet, i like to use it with the smallest shoulder pads, making it look like the marines (or army troopers/pilots, idk) on Long Night of Solace
I loved the SPI armor ever since I saw it on the cover of the book "Ghosts of Onyx" and I've wanted it in a halo game ever since. I don't think I'm going to have this wish granted any time soon.
Let's hope Infinite is that game.
I say mainly because of the fact that due to the current circumstances in war against the banished, both the remaining UNFC and ONI members are forced into utilizing older tech such as older mk.3 armor for gen 2 as a base for chief.
With that in mind, your not alone in hopes that this armor comes soon, especially with a bigger chance than ever now that the next halo will "supposedly" be the last mainline one for th next ten years.
Ur wish has been fulfilled
