| == In Halo 3 does Master Chief wear Mark VI? == | | I think that It would be best if the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor#Armor Versions|Armor Versions]] section of this article was organized in a fashion similar to the [[Covenant Empire#Species|Species]] section of the article about The Covenant Empire. An available picture of the armor may be displayed beside the synopsis where applicable.

| Are we completely sure that the newest pictures of the Chief are in Mark VI? The color looks kind of different...I think we should remove the image because of the possibility that it is Mark VII.--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] [http://installation07.uk.to] 02:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

| :I think I agree. The newest images of the Chief from H3 are most likely the Mark VII(or whatever the folks at Bungie decide to call the next version;) So we shouldn't presume to know the facts regarding it's designation...even though it's very likely. It's almost definitely not the Mark VI, though. For the same reason we should label any references to the Mark VII armor as speculation, since we don't have factual data on it yet.

| | == Discussion clean-up == |
|
| |
|
| I wouldn't call it VI or VII yet. Wait until the game is out. Although Bungie is in love with seven.... [[User:65.87.44.196|65.87.44.196]] 10:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

|
| Good point on the VII([[7]]) issue. but it looks mostly the same and performs the same. maybe he just got it repainted in halo 3 losing the shine and flecks of battle damage.

| ==GoO Spartans had Mark VI Armour!== | | == Fission Power == |
|
| |
|
| The article states that John is the only one to have received VI. However, if you look on the cover of GoO, a Spartan wearing VI is in the background. | | Where is it started that Mjolnir itself used fission at any point? Halo: The Fall of Reach states that the Mk. IV introduced in November 2525 used a fusion power pack: |
| | "John glimpsed veinlike microcapillaries, a dense sandwich of optical crystal, a circulating pump, '''even what looked like a miniature fusion cell in the backpack.'''" |
|
| |
|
| :That's Kurt in the MJOLNIR MARK V armor!--[[User:Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief Petty Officer]] 09:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC) | | One of the citations in this article is page 45 of Ghosts of Onyx. All it says is: |
| | "MJOLNIR suit construction, maintenance staff, and '''recent upgrades to their microfusion plants'''" |
| | Never does it say or even hint that the upgrades were from a fission to a fusion power source. |
|
| |
|
| who assumes that They were the only ones wearing Mark V? i was always under the assumption that everyone was getting the new armour-Fred swaps damaged parts of his Mark V with someone who had died! why would they be the only ones to have it?
| | Finally, the other citation comes from Halsey's Journal, specifically the Jan. 7, 2535 entry. Under the Mk. IV section, it reads: |
| | "Standard fusion power (critical improvement over the fission power source)." |
|
| |
|
| :*What in god's name did you just say? [[User:CaptainAdamGraves|CaptainAdamGraves]] 04:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
| | Again, at no point does it state that Mjolnir ever used fission power. There's arguably an implication that it did, but the comment in the journal could just as easily be a reference to the power source for the old exoskeletons. In light of this, I think the mention of a fission power source should be removed, as there's no solid evidence for it (unless there's a missing citation somewhere). --[[User:Toa Freak|Toa Freak]] ([[User talk:Toa Freak|talk]]) 19:47, 18 February 2018 (EST) |

| |
| | |
| Right, this is how i know it: Its not been said who has what armour, however as far as i know only John-117 recieved the Mk. VI because it was far to expensive. Blue team however recieved upgrades, giving them the 'V.5' armour with parts of the VI installed on thier V armour. Kurt did not have Mk. IV armour, he had the SPI Mk. II. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 09:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Thats what I said, he was wearing SPI Mark II but thae armor in his locker (the one he didn't wear) would have been a Mark IV MJOLNIR armor i think. And why does everyone assume that the Mark VI would be to expensive for the other Spartans to upgrade? the parts the other spartans got on Reach were prototypes. I think. so does anyone have sources on the whole "Mk. VI was to expensive" thing? --[[User:Omrifere|Rear Admiral Jacob Rathens]] 03:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

| | |
| Sorry to bump old discussion but i'd like to nore that cover of GoO is just ART! So all other Spartans probably don't have Mark VI

| ==Master Chief is NOT wearing Mark VII armor in Halo 3 "Time"==
| |
| | |
| Some believe that the chances of the Master Chief wearing Mjolnir Mark VII armor is impossible, saying that 'there was no chance for him to acquire the armor because the Covenant already had control of Earth.'
| |
| Indeed, it seems unlikely that John would have the time to acquire such a high tech piece of armor, considering the Covenant had control of most of Earth when he returned aboard the Prophet's ship.
| |
| Some also believe that small parts of the armor were exchanged for newer, more upgraded parts. And this might lead Bungie to call it 'Mjolnir Mark VII', because of the new parts.
| |
| | |
| Other theories could be the possibility of the armor's color wearing out from countless battles. The green color would slowly dissipate and turn into an olive green, then from that onto an olive green/brown. This might be another reason why the Master Chief's armor appears brownish instead of the normal green.
| |
| | |
| Well, I think that the gloves is slightly different, and the HUD is definetly a big change. There might be a long period after Halo 2, so it appears so [[User:Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief Petty Officer]] 05:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Well I think while the Forerunner Ship jumped there was a gap whilte they were in Slipspace so the Chief may have may have Mark VII or Mark 6.5 and there is no evidence that all of Earth is under control because Blue Team has been killing all of them.
| |
| | |
| There is a period between Halo 3, and Master Chief must have gone through a fight without killing himself. if he's using Mark VI he could have died a long time ago. It must be an upgraded one[[User:Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief Petty Officer]] 05:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The UNSC would not put the mark 6 in production just to turn around as little as a mounth later and put a mark 7 into production, its at best an upgraded mark 6 and as stated in the fall of Reach when the mark 4 was retired it had long lost its color.-- [[User:MCDBBlits|MCDBBlits]] 18:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| That's not the point, when Mark VI was produced the world is not at high risk at Covenant invasion, they are not at the point of ruining Earth, but at the end of Halo 2 the Flood, Covenants are boarding Earth, and it seems that might need a better armor for the MC to defend Earth. If he is still wearing the batty old Mark VI than he would have died in the blast in Starry Night Trailer.

| Who said Earth is completely Covenant controlled at the start of H3? There could of been time between the Prophet's ship landing and the complete capture of Earth. You just don't know if there was time for a new suit to be made and issued until they release the game. Unless you work at Bungie or something. [[User:Teflon4|Teflon4]] 11:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| During the Beta we were given access to the "Standard Mjolnir armour" that the Master Chief is wearing during Halo 3. When you clicked down the righ thumb stick you could zoom in about 2X. On either the bottom left of right hand corners of this 'in helmet view' it stated that the suit in use was a Mark VI. Check the beta videos if you need to. But I think that's fairly conclusive proof.
| |
| | |
| Not really. Bungie might of put it in there for you super searching nerds. THe armour from the 2007 tralier looks as green as even which means it could have been upgrated and is brand new looking. [[User:Qwertyui606|Qwertyui606]] 07:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I'm just going to say this: so far, every new mark has had at least 1 MAJOR change. From MKIII to MKIV it was reactive metal for faster movements instead of a robotic exoskeleton. From MKIV to MKV it was energy shields and room for a starship grade AI. from MKV to MKVI it was healing capabilities. (don't pretend the 'shield upgrade' actually helped. Or did the Covies at the same time upgrade their plasma rifles? You tell me. Either case, not a major change)

| In Halo 3, you get new gloves, and perhaps a paint job. New Mark? I don't think so.--[[User:CGD|CGD]] 19:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

| |
| | |
| I don't think anyone ever mentions "MJOLNIR" MkI, MkII or MkIII. The exoskeleton Mk1 is mentioned in "Fall of Reach" but Dr H stated that for project Mjolnir the design concept of the exoskeleton projects had to be scraped and Mjolnir was redesigned from the ground up; wich would give the Mjolnir its own Mk I, II, and III. Page 70 Fall of Reach. Personally, I don't feel that the Mjolnir system was ever plugged in or used broadcast power.

| The armor from Halo Wars is not the Mk IV. The MJOLNIR Mk IV armor is identical to the Mk V but with a smaller backpack. The Halo Wars armor looks like the MJOLNIR Mk VI, so that's different MJOLNIR. Mk VII? I bet those are SPARTAN-IV. Either way, the Omega Spartans are NOT in Mark IV armor. --[[User:MLG Cheehwawa]]

| | |
| You might want to check your facts over alot. No mention is made that the two armor sets look identical in the books. Also seeing as the game is set in 2531-2551, during wihch the SPARTANS would be using Mk.IV MJOLNIR armor. And seeing as there aren't 'SPARTAN-IVs' (in fact by the start date there aren't even SPARTAN-IIIs) then it can be safely assumed that the armor is MK.IV.

I imagine he wopuld just hunch down his body under one of the boogies then force himself up. Remember he's not '''lifting''' the 66 tons of HE spewing madness, he's just moving it over its inbalanced centre of gravity.

| I actually believe that it is a gameplay trick and that if Halo were real, he would not be able to flip the tank. There is no way he could flip something that massive. In real life circumstances, a real tank wouldn't even flip. It's just something to compensate for the fact that it can happen in the game. Like how Elephants can flip, and Marines can take more damage than you could in Legendary. [[User:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 17:17, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

| *In my opinion, I think Master Chief would be able to flip a Scorpian Tank with MJOLNIR armor. However, he would defiantly have to have an extremly hard and difficult time doing so, most likely using every single ounce of enhanced Spartan strength he has. Not like in the game where he suddenly, and magically make it flip over in, like, 2 seconds on a whim. Though, then again, he would really never have to because, like XRoadToDawnX stated above, a tank really wouldn't flip like it does in Halo. --[[User:Mesz4160]]

| | |
| Okay, just as a thought experiment, I worked out VERY ROUGHLY what a spartan could carry.
| |
| In Fall of Reach it states that an augmented Spartan (Not wearing the MJOLNIR armour) can carry three times their own body weight - this body weight is almost double the norm due to increased muscle density (so I'm taking the stats for Nicole from DOA4 at 168kg... yeah it isn't that canonical, but most of the character statistics were done by Bungie so I can assume they are right)
| |
| So, unarmoured, a Spartan can carry 500kg (or roughly 1100 lbs). Armoured, their strength is doubled so can carry roughly 1 metric ton. Whether that is enough to flip a scorpion is questionable, but probably enough to flip a warthog... [[User talk:Diaboy|Diaboy]] 18:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

| == Weight? ==
| |
| | |
| As part of the trivia of MJOLNIR wieght it is said that the armor weighs in at 1000 pounds, or a half-ton.
| |
| In Halo 2, on the Regret level , the armor begins to become bouyant when the Master Chief jumps in. It has been stated that the armor has a feature that enables the suit to change its density, that can be activated by the occupant and that automatically activates upon the user going unconscious. This would prevent Spartans from sinking to the bottom of an ocean and have to walk to shore to get out. Some other theories suggest that the hydrostatic gel keeps the suit afloat, or that the shields repel the water
| |
| Would this have anything to do with the suits function to gravity and or wieght?
| |
| MJOLNIR Armor sensor systems were tricked into thinking they were in a 10-G environment. The armor increased internal pressure to compensate and rendered them unconscious
| |
| | |
| Random theory
| |
| | |
| Before anyone else says this, or is oblivious to it, with no offense to you, buoyancy has nothing to do with weight, it is density that affects floating. The gel decreases density until it is less than water, and the suit will then float.--[[User talk:Kre 'Nunumee|Kre 'Nunumee]] 23:29, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

| == Ensemble Studios, quite clever ==
| |
| | |
| Most of you noticed of how much the Mark IV design armor has changed in the various screenshots during Halo Wars development. In fact the final Mark IV looks pretty much like the Mark V... This choice is the best possible in my opinion: remember in [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], the first time John sees his new Mark V armor? He states that "''he knew it wasn't his own one, cause after many years was ruined and blackened due to firefights etc..''", but he doesn't say that "''It was quite different in appearence"''... or something like that. So we have to deduce the two armors were almost identical, apart from the various technical improvements of course. {{User:Spirit of Fire/Sig}} 19:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

| | |
| You're a little off on that assessment, he does notice it's quite difference in its appearance.

| | |
| Fall of Reach Chapter 27 Page 248
| |
| "This suit was spotless and its surface possessed a subtle metallic sheen. He noted the armor plates were
| |
| slightly thicker, and the black underlayers had a more convoluted weave of components. The fusion
| |
| pack was half again as large, and tiny luminous slits glowed near the articulation points."
| |
| | |
| Vague on specifics but he does note the differences. Quite clever they are, but is it official is a question that still has no answer. Bungie has contradicted Ensemble with concept art for a MJOLNIR Mark IV in both The Art of Halo 3 and The Cole Protocol.
| |
| | |

| :Nice analysis. As per Durandal-217, TCP should be considered the official Mark IV whereas the ones we see in Halo Wars is ''merely creative''. In addition, to balance out the gameplay in Halo Wars, the Spartan-IIs (equipped with MJOLNIR Mk.

| | |
| Durandal is mistaken in saying that the MK IV was drawn in the Art of Halo 3. It is actually the Mk V; at the end of the book where they label different concepts, the Mjolnir concept on pg.4 is titled "Spartan, Mjolnir Mk V redux" by Isaac Hannaford. It was a concept when they were considering how the armor permutations were going to be implemented. If you look at the image, the armor was drawn in a manner that updated it to the current art style of the UNSC, but it was a concept that was not actually used.
| |
| | |
| The final Mk V permutation in Halo 3 is just a helmet, and that helmet is a streamlined updated version of the one from Halo 1, as opposed to Hannafords Mk VI-like helmet. The Mk V as it has been presented in past media aligns poorly with the chunky, highly-detailed UNSC art style that exists in the present.
| |
| | |
| As for the TCP image being the official MK IV as opposed to Halo Wars version, that is a much murkier issue. Last time I heard, Halo Wars was meant to be just as canon as Halo 1-3. If the Halo Wars version of the MK IV isn't even remotely canonical, then something is very wrong. Bungie had worked with them to make sure things were consistent, but if they let Ensemble create a false version of the MK IV as opposed to the official version, than what gives?
| |
| | |
| The TCP image doesn't even show the entire armor; all there is is the upper torso, but not the legs. I think that there is something wrong if Bungie can't decide on what the official artistic look for Halo is, for they keep on changing it whenever they feel like it. It's like saying that the SMG looks like a banana in one place, and an apple in another. Surely they can do better with consistency.

There's nothing to say that the Halo Wars armour and that of The Cole Protocol's cover aren't the same Series, but slightly different variants of it. Or that the Mark V helmet isn't a Mark IV but with an upgraded onboard computer/neural interface suite. After all, that's what the UNSC did for its use with the Mark VI, and according to First Strike Mark VI components are compatible with Mark V armour. Given the flexibility of the MJOLNIR series, I don't see any reason at all why it has to conflict in canon. --<b>[[CoH|<font color=purple>Councillor</font>]]</b> <b>[[User:Specops306|<font color=blue> Specops</font>]][[UserWiki:Specops306|<font color=blue>306</font>]] - <i>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a</font>]] <font color=purple>[http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Operation:_HOT_GATES 'Morhek]</font></i></b> 07:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I am not mistaken, I am fully aware of what it is labeled. However if you compare elements of the armor on page 4 of The Art of Halo 3 to the version on The Cole Protocol cover they match. Yes it was intended to be a revision of the MJOLNIR Mark V, but it didn't work, it looked nothing like the Mark V so it was discarded. However Bungie has had a history of taking older works or things that did not work and re tool them for something else. As an example the ODST design is largely based off of the original Master Chief sketch done by Shi Ki Wang.
| |
| | |
| The Mark IV seen on the cover of The Cole Protocol is based off of two major things 1: The sketch seen in the Art of Halo 3, and 2: The original Master Chief model shown in the Mac World 99 trailer.
| |
| | |
| Also to avoid further dispute, Isaac Hannaford did both the cover of The Cole Protocol and the sketch seen in Art of Halo 3, so it is more then likely he simply revisited his original idea and modified it for the Cover of TCP. [[User talk:Durandal-217|Durandal-217]] 08:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Makes sense. However, a problem still exists; you have a fake Mjolnir Mk IV armor in an official part of the halo canon. Creative differences aside, you'd think that Bungie would have called Ensemble on what is obviously a glaring mistake and demand that they correct it, for that would mean that the armor of the Spartan II's in Halo Wars is all wrong. Given that the TCP armor is the Mjolnir Mk IV, then the version in Halo Wars should be identical in appearance, but it isn't.
| |
| | |
| That would mean that Bungie gave them far too much leeway in their artistic interpretation of what things in Halo are supposed to look like, and was too lazy to force them to address the problem and show things correctly. In my book that is a glaring example negligence and outright incompetence. If you have a fictional universe represented visually, you want it to be 100% consistent, for you wind up having no meaningful appearance for things if they change every few years.
| |
| | |
| For someone who follows a fictional canon, you want it to be as consistent as possible, for if it isn't, the canon becomes bloated with contradictions. This is one of them. If the TCP Mk IV is the correct one, then why didn't Bungie force Ensemble to redo the Spartan armor so it is the same as the piece by Hannaford? That is just sheer incompetence if they didn't make the Halo Wars team correct their mistake.

| :You bring up good points and I agree with most of them, however you must understand that since Halo 2 Bungie has been trying to patch so many things they messed up on after whatever happened during Halo 2s production.
| |
| | |
| The great thing about Bungie was if anybody outside of Bungie wanted to work on something in the Halo universe they had to abide by their rules and ensure they everything was consistent. Unfortunately Bungie either doesn't want to keep that up or they can't simply because they no longer own the Halo IP, that and their overwhelming desire to create new IPs has left Halo to the Sharks.
| |
| | |
| Now about Halo Wars people seem to think that Bungie and Ensemble worked really well together. The fact is there was very little collaboration going on with both party's because Bungie was too busy working on Halo 3 to really go over what Ensemble had. And Greg Devine confirmed this I cannot remember what interview, but I do remember, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Greg said something along the lines of "Bungie was very candid with Halo Wars they gave us the freedom to do what we wanted to do, because they had a lot of trust in us." Also add to that fact that Bungie was dying for their independence also left little room for them to sit down and review their stuff.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately, Halo Wars contradicts a lot of established canon in many regards, this isn't the place to discuss that matter of opinion but simply put, Halo Wars isn't as perfect or as canon as everyone wants to believe it is. For the MJOLNIR Mark IV I believe we need to reason that this was their creative idea that is no longer nor probably ever was considered part of the official canon. Until an official answer is given.
| |
| | |
| And if I remember correctly a developer from Ensemble said that all of the units in Halo Wars had to be exaggerated in order to fit within the RTS genre (case in point the main example he had to refer to was the marines and their armor.)
