UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform: Difference between revisions

Line 60:

In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', the BDU used by the UNSC Marine Corps was fairly similar to the one in Halo 2, with several changes. The fatigues now had an urban camouflage, while the armor itself retained its olive-green color. The armor is still labeled as M52B on containers in Halo 3.

This variant is an evolution from the ''Halo 2'' version, with heavier and well-articulated olive-drab full body armor (armored vest, and heavier armor in ~~shoulder pads~~, elbow pads, and knee pads) over urban camouflage utilities. The torso armor now has a black ballistic vest under it, which also partially extends to the arms, attaching the ~~shoulder~~ pauldrons to the vest. The shoulder pads are also larger and more sophisticated. The newer variant also includes tactical thigh rigs for additional ammunition storage or weapon attachments.

Marines sometimes don small helmet communications microphones or polarized ~~sunglasses~~ on their helmets, and others carry backpacks. Some Marines also wear black, fingerless gloves, to protect their hands and improve their grip on their weapons.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>

In [[2531]], the standard Marine uniform involved gray fatigues, with shiny-brown armor covering most of the body. In many ways, this BDU resembles the one seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', being more heavily armored than the later variants.
