Not gonna lie, the recruit armor does like kickass. It sucks that it is the RECRUIT ARMOR.

It's also one of the onoly armours that actually look tolerable rather than just a mess of colours and a skintight suit

[@tavianarmstrong974]

@@Sanya6496 i think the best suits 4 had were recruit, wetwork, stalker, prefect (not the feet for it though), and ODST (fuck the visor on it tho, it just feels weird to look at but the armor looks solid in the new engine and artstyle). Ricochet is pretty cool too but that's just re imagining football gear.

So Spartan II's are the pinnacle of Biological augmentation and the IV's are the pinnacle of mechanical augmentation.

While I like the technology behind Gen 2, why ONI or the UNSC felt certain companies they picked to make armor would have made well designed armor variants makes me curious as to why they choose those companies. Yes I could go to ‘343 makes terrible armor..bungie come back...’ They are here to stay and I like Gen3 they are designing, so I think they learned their lesson so far. However I do blame UNSC/ONI still on their choice of companies to make armor variants for Gen2.

I was really interested in the armour variants. There are several aspects of a set of GEN-2 mjolnir armour, and different variants excel in different aspects to better suit the role of the armour. Two things confuse me however: 1: why are there like three or four variants for the SAME TASK!? I'm pretty sure I heard three different variations for aerospace combat. 2:Olive is for hiding hair.

[@GreatfulGert]

There are 3 design changes that *really* make the armor look odd. The scaley, multi-toned undersuit, the (arguably unnecessarily) high polygon count, and the lack of codpieces really make the armor look different.

[@Sanya6496]

@@GreatfulGert The coloured undersuit is just dumb. It should have remained black. As for the unnecessary polygons there's nothing except to completely throw out that art style that will.fix that. The codpiece... functionally it could go either way. But since the codpiece was originally plated it should remain that way.

[@edwardslater2252]

Don't worry gen 3 will fix that!

[@KurtT-051]

Idk if anyone mentioned this yet, but a lot of armor configurations (not including the alternative universe suits from Infinite) feature tidbits of lore that I would love to hear you extrapolate upon. For example, how would certain military operations where Spartans are involved lead to a decision in which modifications would be made to forearm armor plating and configuration? I would adore hearing your input on these.

[@bthsr7113]

Edit: it would seem this post is redundant with what was said before the the backers, but I put all the time in writing it so I'm keeping it. Personally, I'm hoping the reasoning for gen 3, or at least Chief's gen 3 was to use the larger volume and greater mass of gen 1 designs, and the more capable Spartan II generation to achieve feats and designs that would be impossible for the Spartan IV's. Basically, the feature/functionality concentration per cubic decimeter and bang per buck of gen 2 applied with the same quality over quantity mindset and budget of gen 1. I was actually hoping for this general idea before we found out Infinite introduced gen 3. The II's and III's made a huge impact, Chief amongst them. Seems like investing in them could be a wise choice.

While Gen-2 does look nice, I've always questioned the...idk, plausibility of it. I know I'm comparing Halo to real life, but its something I do. You describe the techsuit at @14:20 ish as holding EMP and radiation resistance, vacuum sealing, and like a half-dozen other things. There's...just not enough ROOM in the design to squeeze all those features in. At least I could believe MJOLNIR IV through VI could hold those systems and didn't stretch my disbelief too much. SPARTAN-IIs are 7 foot tall demigods of war, the best mankind has ever produced. The armor weighs half a ton, and the armor looks like a tank on a human frame. Thats a lot of volume to put all the subsystems (even still, the miniaturized fusion reactor in the back of the suit still stretches my belief a bit much, but I can push past that bc its necessary for the awesome to happen the way it does). Gen-2 tries too damn hard to look cool. "Hey, we do all the same stuff as the old suits and more, PLUS we weigh like half the amount"? That's too much for me. I have high hopes for Halo: Infinite, in that Chief's Gen-3 is going back to the 7ft tall tank look instead of too damn skinny and futuristic to look remotely plausible. Just my opinion. Love your channel, recent subscriber.

Knowing that the mark 5 was a class 12 combat skin equivalent, as related to us by guilty spark during the library mission, what class combat skin do you suppose the baseline Gen 2 would be equivalent to?

[@tTaseric]

The Mark 5 and 6 are both Class-2 equivalents. Guilty Spark recommended that John upgrade to at least Class-12, the standard for Forerunner military personnel. Judging by all the functions that the Gen-2 platform has, especially in the later years, I'd say it's Class-3 equivalent. Although, I'm not exactly sure how it's measured.

[@andrewbutton2039]

@@tTaseric My mistake. I think the strength and speed upgrades aren't as significant in the Gen 2 as the Gen 1 armour, though Gen 2 does have increased stats in other areas, like better shields and higher tech capabilities, which may qualify it for a higher class rating. But like you say, the class system, beyond there actually being a class system and what the mark 5 is in relation to it, hasn't been specified that I'm aware of.

[@madness0169]

I enjoyed seeing Locke and Chief fight in both Gen 2 armor. While some may not find the fight enjoyable and accurate, consider one of the top Spartan IVs having the guts to capture and retrieve a rogue Spartan II who was disobeying orders from the UNSC since his encounter with Fmr. Captain Del Rio of the UNSC Infinity in *Halo 4.* With Locke having that much confidence and courage to retrieve Chief and return him to the Infinity tells you a lot about how Locke never gives up. Pretty cool if you ask me. So if you look at it in advance, Chief had a *60%* chance of winning the fight while Locke had a *40%* chance.

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

No, I disliked the fight because it sucked ass and instead of being cool with combat choreography that represented the hand to hand combat both of these super soldiers were thoroughly trained with, they slugged it out. Locke yanking out the pistol last second when he knew he would lose that armor locking device would be a lot more impactful if they didn't telegraph that fight the entire way through. The fight should've been more than what it was, but that's an issue with Halo 5 besetting most of the goddamned story

[@madness0169]

@@justiceforjoggers2897 So what? People need to stop looking at the negatives of *Halo 5: Guardians* and look at the positives. I enjoyed every bit of the storyline and even the fight in my opinion was good. Like I said, it was a 60% chance to 40% chance. The fight was pretty accurate to my extent and I'm sure some others can agree. Locke only pulled out his magnum as a final warning to Chief if he didn't surrender. But a few seconds before he could pull the trigger, the Armor Restraint activated basically short-circuiting himself into place. I understand your point of view, just don't be so judgemental about something so important.

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

@@madness0169 I'm not being negative for the sake of negativity, I don't like what I'm seeing because I cared about this franchise and payed out of my ass to show it. I absolutely know that 343 could've done a million times better than they did with this scene, I absolutely know their writers could've done a better storyline than what they went with. Even now I'm still holding out that the studio will actually do better than they've done so far, because these people are competent enough to make an amazing game. I like a few things from Halo 5, this scene isn't one of them because it felt too slow and too brutish for what's at stakes and the price both of these soldiers need to pay if one fails. However, you and I are entitled to our opinions

[@killerkitten7534]

Yeah that fight sucked. It was slow and clearly mocapped which made what should have been an epic fight between two super soldiers (you know what the ads promised) turn into a slow WWE fight. And no, Chief shouldn’t have had any problem kicking his ass. He’s the best spartan ever and has even better armor than when he literally won the war and kicked like a million alien’s asses. Not to mention as a kid he beat the shit out of like 3 ODSTs and yeah they didn’t have power armor but neither did Chief. And 4s are basically just slightly more powerful ODSTs. But not nearly powerful enough to take on Chief

I do actually like Mjolnir Gen 2. It seems lighter, easy to mass produce, more customization, and more durable then the older ones. I remember I thought of ideas for Experimental Mjolnir suits. Like after watching the Lore Core video of Nanosuit 2 from Crysis, I remembered one time I thought of this idea of an Experimental Mjolnir suit that has similar abilities and features of that of Nanosuit 2. Like the Armor mode, Stealth mode etc etc. Though I know something like that would never happen, but would be cool. Mainly it would never work because it would be too expensive, the tech is too experimental, and there is no way it would actually work.

I don't see why you couldn't make a nano suit type mjolnir suit, it would have to involve armor abilities though, contrary to the games the we see in the comic that Gen 2 can use multiple armor abilities at once (at least 3). So for stealth it could just be active camo AA, for armor mode it would be the overshield AA, and for speed technically you could have the sprint AA. And boom a nanosuit inspired mjolnir suit.

I think that the only reason Spartan 4s have very loose genetic requirements is that the Gen 2 armor makes up for the weaker physical augmentations.

[@Sanya6496]

And even that only gets 4's up to the "average" spartan 2's strength. Spartans like Jorge, Sam probably Noble 6 and other 3s could be stronger in Gen1 since it has no strength limitations.

[@sorrenblitz805]

@@Sanya6496 Jorge was a Spartan II. Spartan II's may be 'obsolete' now (Arguable considering Spartan II's are still the Spartans that get the job done while the IV's just reign in assistance points according to Halo 4/5) but their augmentations make them second to none. A Spartan II in GEN-2 platform Mjolnir could annihilate any Spartan III or IV. Especially IV's since IV's are more like Orion Project soldiers in some fancy suits.

[@ChrisTian-ed8ol]

They went cheap on the paint? Wouldn't it have been better to use similar paint as to what was on the Gen....3 or 4 armor which didn't have shields. That paint basically acted like ablative armor from Star Trek which helped dissipat the heat and energy from attacks, didn't it? I'm thinking of this from the book The Fall of Reach.

[@vegeta002]

I don't think the refractive coating and the paint was the same thing.

[@rustyshackle8000]

Even if I prefer the original designs for Mjolnir (my personally favorite design for it is in Reach,) I love the concept of Gen2. It's actually a smart move by the UNSC, and actually fits the Spartan IIIs and IVs perfectly in terms of how they're used. So far it looks like they've gone back to the older designs in Infinite which I'm happy for, but I do hope they at least keep some of the Gen2 features because it's a great concept.

Spartan III: the Parents, basically the spartan IIs, but more widescale and less effective overall. Spartan IV: The children. young and inexperienced, foolish and highly ineffective.

[@jugganaut33]

I always see spartan IV’s as a bargain basement Spartan. They’re really just elite ODST’s in new armour. I’ve got nothing against Palmer and those that make it into the S-IV program. But I think it too much of a ‘equal opportunities’, ‘anyone can be a hero’ feel that ruins the lore. It sort of shits on the S2’s that were kidnapped and almost murdered by Halsey to become the pinnacle of human biology. Fuelled by pure discipline. And spartan 3’s who signed up aged 4 after losing their families and home planets. Fuelled by pure hatred. Somehow the spartan IV’s just casually sign up at any age. Normally ok their 20’s or 30’s and get the same results?? I think it’s bullshit. They missed a opportunity with Palmer though. She’s a bit of a badass in the lore and spartan ops. But looks like a feminist in Halo 4 and halo5.

[@PositiviteaTheFirst]

@@jugganaut33 Indeed. I feel like her line "Orders are orders Tom. I won't see you court marshalled over that women." when she went to assassinate Halsey for ONI would've been more effective and had more depth if she didn't already have some sort of grudge against Halsey already and was doing it out of pure professionalism and concern for her comrade.

@@jugganaut33 Spartan IV's (and Spartan I's) are the true "super soldiers." Spartan II's and III's are living weapons stripped of their humanity and raised for one purpose only.

[@jugganaut33]

ArmorFrog Entertainment: they’re all super soldiers. Infact a number of Halo Lore sources reflect Spartans II & III being as human as the rest of the world. They just understand their purpose. The spartans of old. Were selected from birth. Trained from childhood or fed to the wolves. selected and classified before they were allowed to become citizens. They were warriors first. Farmers, Taylor’s, smiths, carpenters, bricklayers second. Same way most modern militaries work. As a current serving member of Her majesties Special Forces. I can say that Every guy and girl is a soldier first. Doesn’t make them any less of a human. Doesn’t make them any less of a parent. In fact they’re incredible parents. It just means they’ve chosen to be ready for violence and not necessarily need it. Rather then not be ready and need it some day. We forget that outside our cities. Without our power. Without our technology. Mother Nature would eat us for breakfast. Such as the poem ‘law of the Yukon’ expresses. And what we have come to label as our ‘humanity’ is simply subject to operational requirements when you’re being chased by a tiger or being probed by a shark. Our true Humanity is our ruthless adaptability. To hostility. To space. To any environment. To any predator. The spartans are just an embodiment of that adaptability and ruthless drive to be the apex predator.

Why do so many Mark IV - VI armour variants get changed so much to the point of looking either undesirable (eg: how Gen 2 Recon looks like it got dented at some point) or unrecognisable (eg: WTF happened to Commando and Operator between Reach and 4)? I know that Bungie also redesigned armour between games but they were still similar enough between games unlike the aforementioned Reach armours could have been named anything else and it wouldn't make any difference.

[@tavianarmstrong974]

As much as i dislike the 4s, the gen 2 puts them on par with the old variants of gen 1. Mk. VI of gen 1 is superior over the gen 2 suit for a spartan II as that 5x multiplier for just strength is better than the restrictive hard cap of the synthetic muscles in the case of the IIs and the armor is just more durable as shown in halo first strike, 3, and 4, surviving high atmosphere and orbital falls with the user alive. That half ton weight and hydrostatic gel counts for something. But yeah the gen 2 armor is good for what it is tbh. Being on par with Mk V of gen 1(outside of that durability) while being cheaper and lighter isnt a small feat.

[@lumpeistbark3]

@@tavianarmstrong974 You do know that the "restrictive hard cap" is only a theory right? Not really cannon info. Gen 2 also comes in a variety of weights some can be lighter like chief suit is only around 120 kg but someone like buck's armor weighs 500kg , Fred's armor also weighs more than chiefs at 470kg. And I also don't think gen2 is less durable, just less protective than gen 1 due to the more exploitable gaps in the armor. In terms of a shoot out it would offer greater durability due to the better shielding in comparison to Gen 1 counterparts.

[@tavianarmstrong974]

@@lumpeistbark3 but it isnt a theory. The reason why it exists is because the armor no longer amplifies what the user does like gen 1's 2x for mk V under and 5x for mk VI over via that liquid crystal thing he mentions in his gen 1 breakdowns. I think of it as hydraulic fluid based on the wearer. The gen 2 armor is synthetic muscle which works with the wearer rather than amplifying meaning the hard cap does exist for IVs, the IIs may be higher due to a higher base but im guessing there as this is multiplicative vs additive. Shielding is definitely better. The protection shift i believe deals with a shift in *what* it protects from. The entire suit gives far superior energy protection compared to gen 1 as the armor to tech suit and undersuit all diffuse heat with the under and tech suits acting as kevlar with the armor acting like gen 1 plating but with a better refractive layer. Against human weapons the armor definitely pales to gen 1 but gen 2 holds equally as much over gen 1 in energy protection. That weight thing i guess is a fair point on your end. There is a noteworthy lack of mentioning the hydrostatic gel in gen 2 which confuses me considering it's why the gen 1 armor can do a high altitude fall without killing the user, i mean with the movement system that wont be a issue ever again but what about blunt trauma like getting splattered, ragdolled, or a zero g problem.

[@lumpeistbark3]

@@tavianarmstrong974 No , it's his theory of how gen 2 works you can even look it up on halo wikipedia or halo spartan field manual gen 2 uses ; "Force-multiplying circuits: Allows the user greatly enhanced reflexes and strength, improving mobility and combat effectiveness in close quarters. *Notwithstanding* *the* *lack* *of* *any* *truly* *understood* *limitations* , Spartans have been recorded lifting Warthogs, bending steel, and shattering concrete on the battlefield" This whole "Cap/limitations" theory is only people trying to basically downplay spartan IV and hype up the IIs. The *truth* of the matter is that we do not know why the fight between locke and cheif was as even as it was , we don't know if Spartans IIs gains the same strength boost as the IVs get but we do know they they get faster with gen 2 compared to gen 1 going by kelly recording her best speed in the suit and a sIII being capable of outpacing a warthog in gen 2 which no spartan in gen 1 could accomplish. And what proof of that due you have? In ghost of onxy chief and blue to were worried of .30 caliber ap rounds , Gen 2 as far as my knowledge was only pierced by standards human rounds on one occasion being in new blood where buck hit by a rifle where he statest the barrel can fit his entire(gauntlet) thumb into. The hydrostatic gel layer exsist still in Gen 2 but sense its not something new it's probably not talked about but in bad blood buck was going to experience a similar fall that chief did but he didn't know if he would survive or not, (although buck was constantly questioning himself and his capabilities all throughout the book so who knows what would have really happened)
