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.

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.

Lots of body armour nowadays only covers the lower extremities of the lungs, up to the top, and the sides below the armpits. It's mostly a weight and flexibility issue.

This is why video games are the worst form of science fiction storytelling. Because gaming is the only storytelling medium where there's a design need that's not subservient to the needs of the story. This is, of course, gameplay.

[@spazmonkey2131]

I feel like the unsc has been heading for more generic suits and augments, instead of a heavy assault armor with an enhanced augmented spartan for absolute destruction

[@z-man1237]

Same. Gen 2 mjolnir= discount power ranger armor

[@spazmonkey2131]

@@z-man1237 lol ikr, they've got for generic quantity over unique quality that the gen 1 gave

[@z-man1237]

spaz monkey Plus it looked ready for war

[@spazmonkey2131]

A better idea would have been to take elements from the prototype armor from halo legends

[@z-man1237]

spaz monkey Or most importantly for good results; the armor from halo reach

[@ms8studios157]

spartan I: The great-Grandparents, aka most badass aka Johnson. Spartan II: The Grandparents, badass and widely known as the most lethal. 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.

[@PositiviteaTheFirst]

I think Buck and Crimson are pretty effective

[@ArmorFrogEntertainment]

@@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.

[@avatar11792]

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.

[@JAYRODo420o23]

16:00 looks like something Batman would wear lol

[@oliverevans363]

According to halopedia, the gen 2 is made from a ceramic metal alloy. And I believe that they are referring to cermet(ceramic and metal) which is what current body armour is made of like boron carbide and silicon carbide. So maybe they are using cermet reinforced cermet for the gen 2 armour bc it will then have better protection against planes based weapons which I believe was the goal for gen 2 armour

[@kagesora007]

4:17 I had no idea this was what I came here for until I got here.

[@Jedi_Spartan]

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.

[@Kurai_69420]

4:18 how many takes did that, well, take?

[@d0su]

Aren't Spartan-III Gamma being kept in SPI, due to their issues when they don't get their smoothers...

[@lumpeistbark3]

The spartan IIIs of gamma company that decided to join the spartan branch had medical surgery to mitigate the risk of the drug , so presumably there not that reliant on smoothers anymore.

[@bradleyrutledge]

I really like the Gen II Mjolnir and think it looks really cool.

[@Skylancer727]

Still wish they had an in canon explanation how spartans can wear a fusion reactor without being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. The ships have been directly described purely using titanium and other heavy elements to combat this but they have never given a direct explanation in the spartans. It's not like there is a lot of material between them and the reactor. Unless the "electrostatic direct energy conversion" is a near flawless method of converting charged particles into energy with next to nothing leaking through. Though if that were true, it wouldn't make sense why the starships still need reactors then as cosmic rays are already powerful enough that using the same principles you should be able to power ships off just those.

[@Skylancer727]

@Joseph Joestar the most I can find is at 14:15 he says the inner suit has "radiation shielding" but there is still no explanation beyond "there is material". It would be more interesting if they said it had some form of gamma and beta mirror, a method of directly converting the radiation to energy without passing through, or some electromagnetic method of dispersing radiation away from or repelling it from the body. Considering the frigates are described using titanium for "radiation shielding" it seems like an odd choice if they have some method of repelling radiation. It's as though they skipped a step in the canon.

[@thatoneguy9291]

Skylancer727 That, and Spartans are highly resistant to almost all radiation, and can survive in space without proper equipment. He goes over it in his Spartan IV augmentation video. So since there is hardly any going through the reactor due to the material, the spartan is probably experiencing hardly any radiation damage.

[@miguellanderos7143]

I'm watching this video again, and I got to the part where you speak of all the possible upgrades in the armor and the different benefits each has. And I came to the question. WHY HAS 343 NOT TRIED TO PUT LOAD OUTS FOR THE ARMOR IN HALO. could you imagine you being able to pick a certain armor set you wanna play with that sports thr upgrades you attach to it and taking it into muliplayer. Would be cool
