There seem to be a number of varieties to the Marine BDU. It is unknown if the changes between the games are instances of different armor models altogether, or if the changes are simply aesthetic. | There seem to be a number of varieties to the Marine BDU.

The equipment used during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] involved gray fatigues, and over that, pieces of brown armor plating covering the head, torso, shoulders, thighs and shins. Overall, this armor seems to be the heaviest incarnation of the Marine armor. | The equipment used during the [[Battle of Installation 04]] involved gray fatigues, and over that, pieces of brown armor plating covering the head, torso, shoulders, thighs and shins.

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.
