It had less armor pieces than the variant seen in the first game, namely lacking armor on the thighs, but also came with more ammunition storage pockets. The [[M52B Body Armor|tactical vest]] had two pieces of armor, with numerous storage pouches often attached to it. Some Marines also wore holsters on their other thigh. The armor had black knee and elbow pads, although apparently only lightly armored. The uniform also included armored shoulder pads, also lighter than their previous version. The shins weren't also fully armored like the earlier variant, with heavy armor only on the upper shin, attached to the boot. However, the boots appear to be covered in light armor plating.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]''</ref> | It had less armor pieces than the variant seen in the first game, namely lacking armor on the thighs, but also came with more ammunition storage pockets.

Orbital Drop Troopers in Halo 2 also wore a variant of the standard marine armor. Lacking the iconic [[ODST Ballistic Battle Armor]], these ODSTs wore a black and white version of the camoflaged fatigues that regular marines utilized during the course of the game. This armor variant had a black and white color sceme and included gloves, a modified ballistic vest, larger shin guards and combat boots, and additional thigh protection. The helmet itself was a standard marine helmet modified to fully encapsulate the head behind a protective blue visor. | |||

In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', the BDU used by the UNSC Marine Corps was fairly similar to the one in Halo 2, with several changes. The fatigues now had an urban camouflage, while the armor itself retained its olive-green color. The armor is still labeled as M52B on containers in Halo 3. | In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', the BDU used by the UNSC Marine Corps was fairly similar to the one in Halo 2, with several changes.
