==Variants and configurations== | |||
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the CNM has three observed variants, each with its own distinct physical appearances. The first variant is the ODST-CNM, which is exclusively employed on ODST armors. The other two variants are standard issue to UNSC Special Forces unit commanders,{{Ref/Reuse|commanders}} and both variants could be upgraded to the '''Command Network Module-Improved''' ('''CNM-I''') variant on the HAZOP and Air Assault variants of MJOLNIR Mark V.{{Ref/Reuse|hazop}}{{Ref/Reuse|AA}} After the Human-Covenant War, built-in CNM suites have been integrated to the helmets of the [GEN2] variant of the Commando-class Mjolnir.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} However, sometimes the CNM is integrated as an external attachment on armor like the INTRUDER-class Mjolnir,{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|Game=H5G|Section=Armor permutations (Halo 5: Guardians)|SectionLinkText=Spartan Appearance Customization|Detail=Intruder Description|Quote=The INTRUDER helmet features a full-featured Command Network Module and multi-channel drone controller.

The ODST-CNM is a specialized variant of the CNM employed by the ODSTs. One was employed by [[Edward Buck]] during the [[Battle of Mombasa]].{{Ref/Game|Game=ODST|Section=Campaign|SectionLinkText=Edward Buck in-game model}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG26|EVG|Page=26}} | |||

===FC configurations=== | |||
The modularity of the MJOLNIR armor has made it possible to attach multiple modules on the helmet. In cases where a CNM and a [[External Hardened Uplink|Hardened Uplink (HUL)]] are both employed, the configurations are designated "FC", "FC-I", and "FC-I[2]" depending on the variants used. FC refers to the configuration in which the "tall" CNM variant and an external HUL are both attached to the helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|grenadier}} FC-I refers to the configuration in which an external HUL, along with the CNM-I, are integrated on the "long" CNM variant, though this configuration has only been observed on the [[AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir|MJOLNIR/AA variant]].{{Ref/Reuse|AA}} FC-I[2] refers to the configuration in which both the HUL[3] and CNM are attached to the helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Commando}}{{Ref/Game|Id=mk6|Game=HR|Section=Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|SectionLinkText=Armory|Detail=Mark VI - FC-I[2] Helmet Description|Quote=External command network and hardened 3rd-generation uplink modules.}} | |||

==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
===''Halo Reach''=== | The CNM and its variants serve as cosmetics and have no impact on gameplay. | ||
The CNM | ===''Halo: Reach''=== | ||
The "camera" and "tall" variants of the CNM are available as attachments on several helmets in the [[armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The device is priced at different levels of [[Credits]], depending on the base helmets. In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the same CNM-attached helmets are unlockable in [[Season 1: Noble]]. | |||
== | ===''Halo Infinite''=== | ||
*During the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]], the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B)|Mark V[B]] helmet had a CNM upgrade available. The device cost 2,000 cR, but was cut from the final game | The CNM[5] will be available on the Mark VII helmet in ''Halo Infinite''.{{Ref/Reuse|INFoverview}} | ||
* | |||
==Production notes== | |||
*During the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta]], the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V(B)|Mark V[B]]] helmet had a "CNM" upgrade available, though the CNM resembled a sun visor which extended above the visor. The device cost 2,000 cR, but was cut from the final game. | |||
*During the ''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta, the "camera" variant of the CNM on the CQC helmet, along with UA attachment on the Mark V[B] helmet, was labelled as HUL. The "tall" variant on the Military Police helmet, however, was correctly labelled "CNM". | |||
*Although the [[ODST armor/HVY]] armor in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' portion of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' was based on the armor worn by [[Victor Ramos]] in ''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]'', Ramos's helmet did employ the UA and CNM attachments in ''Halo: Fireteam Raven''. | |||
