| ==Not waterproof but still useable in a vacum?==
| |
| That doesn't seem possible, the article says it is not waterproof and then it says it has air for seven minutes of breathing in a vacum. Is that an inconsistency in the books or is this just wrong information? [[User talk:FatalSnipe117|FatalSnipe117]] 01:08, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

| :Possibly. Or it's also possible that it's a semi-permiable suit, that it would allow stuff in (like water) but not out (like air).--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' Rusty '''</span>]][[User talk:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:red;">'''- '''</span>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">'''112 '''</span>]]06:42, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

| :I'm guessing that the suit is waterproof, and that the fact that Tom and Lucy sank in their armour was because the equipment took heavy damage and has multiple leaks. But it's just a theory, so I'll leave it off the article for now. Arby116

|
| |
| :Personally I think it's one of two things. Either A) The 7 minutes of air isn't for a vacuum, but rather for underwater. Or B) That because Tom and Lucy's Armor had already sustained plenty of damage, let water in. [[User talk:OniLink|OniLink]] 01:48, 25 November 2010 (EST)

| ==Strength & capabilities of SPI Armor==
| |
| Yes the SPI Armor enhances strength, speed, and agility but not to the same point as MJOLNIR Armor dose. So while a Spartan-II in MJOLNIR Armor could lift a Warthog over their head or rip open a reinforced metal door like it was made of paper, as demonstated in the beginning of Ghosts of Onyx, SPI Armor would enhance a Spartan-III's strength & speed to probally half that, on top of their augmentations. Most likely enough to lift and throw say a Elite, who would most likely weigh like 350-or-400 pounds, with ease and snap bones like twigs and dent metal with a single punch and dodge some weapons fire but not enough strength to say lift and flip a Warthog, at least not with out a assist from a team mate. Also 'Powered Armor' means armor that both protects a soldier from weapons fire and battle field hazards ''and'' ehances their physical attributes, at least that is how every form of powered armor works I have ever seen. I hope that explains some of the qustions here. [[User:ShadowedSpider]] 7:44 January 7, 2008

| Where's your source that the SPI armour improves strength/agility at all? I've recently re-read Ghosts of Onyx and I couldn't find a single piece of evidence to support your conclusion. I've edited the page until you present proof/source. [[User talk:Baryon15|Baryon15]] 22:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

|
| |
| I think he's right. The armor is called Semi-POWERED Infiltration armor. Anyway, the augmentations alone would allow them to lift that much. Remember the Spartan-IIIs have basically the same augmentation as Spartan-IIs, the only difference was Gamma company's brain modifications. So if we look through Fall Of Reach we can see that "They can lift three times their body weight-- which, I might add, is almost double the norm due to their increased muscle density" Pg. 73 in FoR. Since the augmentation is similar, if not the same and you account for the Spartans young age they would be able to lift that much if not more.[[Special:Contributions/24.11.237.69|24.11.237.69]] 17:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

| |
| i agree, the s-III'S augmentations would let them say, bend/tear/dent metal, as evidenced when tom b292 ripped oper his drop pod in pegasi delta, they could rip a turret off its mountings, snap bones like twigs and with great effort, flip a warthog and lift and throw an elite

| ::It doesn't seem to be all SPI armour, just the helmet is the same. Anyway, armour customization allows you to mix and match parts of different variations of the MJOLNIR armour, so that could mean that there might be SPI armour pieces. like the helmet, or the Extra Vehicular Activity space-walk type mentioned in GoO, which might involve the completely dome shaped helmet with all gold visor?--[[User:Keyes|Keyes]] 07:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

| SPI armour wouldn't fit into Halo 3. The reason being is that all armour permutations in Halo 3 have no effect on gameplay. The SPI armour doesnt have shields, and has active camo, giving it an advantage, and disadvantage, over the other armour.[[User:Ryan926|Ryan926]] 03:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

| You probably couldn't replicate it. It's an entirely different armor, even the gloves and leggings are different. Just look at the cover GoO and you can the the entirely different gloves. Really only the EVA helmet is the MJOLNIR variant that has any real similarity. But the most similar to the chest? I'd say CQB.

| Well it's not necessarily a bad thing but it's saying that it would take more than one to complete tasks that a single Spartan-II could do in MJOLNIR. So say one Spartan-II could jump into a bunker and shoot down all the inhabitants. It's saying that it would likely take more Spartans-IIIs to do the same task.

| :::The difference isn't all that drastic, though. By the same logic, the "normal" SPI helmet in the same piece (with the eagle symbol) is a "variant" because the [[:File:HM-SPI-schematic.jpg|base design]] lacks the sharp-edged ridges and the lower part of the visor is different. The "EVA-like variant" is actually in some ways ''closer'' to the base version, at least around the lower part of the visor. If we went that route, [[:File:HLL cover-Olivia full.png|Olivia's suit]] in the ''Last Light'' cover could also be considered a different variant, as it has considerably different detailing, gaps in the chest armor, blockier edges, and pylons on the sides of the back similar to Mjolnir armor (which most depictions of SPI armor don't have). Not to mention the forearms, which are a little different in almost every depiction. My point being, if we consider that one helmet a variant, we might as well list every other appearance of SPI armor a distinct variant because there are always some artistic differences. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 10:38, 15 January 2017 (EST)
