This unknown armor set is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.
Introduction
The unknown armor (possibly the Cobra permutation) set was seen in the background of the picture released for Bungie Day and bears no similarity to the other armor sets released. In a render of the helmets there is a similar helmet to this.
It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.
Development
It has recently been confirmed[1] that there is some connection between this variant and ODST armor. What this connection is is not clear, but it can be speculated that this is a variant of MJOLNIR armor designed for orbital drops in the same way as ODST armor.
Trivia
- The helmet appears to be superficially similar to the MJOLNIR VI armor but however the visor is thiner, as is its face plate which seems to run to the chin, leaving a 'black' area between the visor and the face plate.
- Its chest plate seems much thicker than that of the EVA and CQB's chest plate and seems to be much more than simply armor bolted on but several segmented layers between one and three layers.
- The shoulder pad seems similar to that of the EVA shoulder pad but has an angular peak in the center, where the object would be on the EVA armor.
- Many people have begun to compare it to the CQB however its visor is smaller and a different shape, it lacks the cheek guards, it lacks the ridges on the helm, the black reinforcement on the helmet. Its shoulder pads and chest plates bear no major similarity to those of previous armor sets.
- It appears to be even more heavily armored, with a larger outer shell, possibly a "Heavy Weapons Variant" designed to take fire from heavy weapons and to use them. This is largely theory, based strictly on design.
