*Does it look like the two spartans are wearing Mark V and Mark VI armor, or are they both wearing the same type? -[[User:ED|ED]] 01:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC) | *Does it look like the two spartans are wearing Mark V and Mark VI armor, or are they both wearing the same type? -[[User:ED|ED]] 01:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC) | ||

::Yes, that is Mark V and Mark VI armor. Look at the hands as well as helmet designs. And yes, I believe that is SPI.

We never really identified the Spartans on this cover. Kelly was obvious because she was the only character still wearing the Mark V armor during the events of the novel, but the other two Spartans remained a mystery. We still can't guess who is wearing the SPI armor (there are too many who did, including Kurt). For the Mark VI, we were never able to distinguish between Fred, Linda and Will, since we had always assumed they all got the same basic armor as John did. But... since [[:File:H2A Terminals - BlueTeam.jpg|Fred and Linda]] got those new fancy armors, that only leaves [[ | We never really identified the Spartans on this cover.

Shall we establish it as such and use it as his main image? [[User:Imrane-117|Imrane-117]] ([[User talk:Imrane-117|talk]]) 01:22, 13 November 2014 (EST) | ||
:I'm not sure. First, it would require us to completely ignore the off-universe background behind the image—ie. back when this piece was made, Fred, Linda and Will were all supposed to wear the baseline Mark IV, so the artist may have intended the Spartan in the image to be any one of them. Besides, while it's somewhat unlikely, there's a possibility that Fred and Linda wore the testbed armor set only temporarily (perhaps due to damage?) and received a standard Mark VI before departing for Onyx. And Spartans changing their armor inexplicably is hardly a new thing for Halo. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 23:39, 13 November 2014 (EST) | :I'm not sure.

::@Jugus: I know the artist didn't have the Halo 2 Anniversary Terminals in mind at the time, in 2006. But I'm saying it's retroactively feasible to identify Will, thanks to new information and the fact that it does not conflict with anything else. For example, at the time of Halo 2, the ''In Amber Clad'' wasn't supposed to be a ''Stalwart''-class light frigate, simply because this concept didn't exist at all (even for Bungie, I think). Now, it has been retroactively adapted to new information.

::First cent: Just curious, where are these from? I have a feeling that these are from ''Reach''. Regardless, I wouldn't place much faith on the filenames. They aren't the best and/or the most authoritative source. Also, Nicole-458 wears a JFO? Whoa! Second cent: if Fred and Linda were given newer armour, Halsey would have said something about the armour in the novel, just like how she commented Jorge's armour in ''Reach''. The absence of this comment would indicate that 343i is retconning their armour appearances in the Ghosts of Onyx novel. That, and Jugus comment above. Just my two cents. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:59, 15 November 2014 (EST) | ::First cent: Just curious, where are these from?
