The suit also had a number of other features, including recoil-compensating actuators, hydrostatic gel to regulate and monitor temperature and dampen impact force, and [[biofoam]] injectors. However, the biofoam injectors and medical care systems of the Mark IV had to be provided with a direct supply of biofoam, medicines, and stimulants from a standard Marine first aid kit when the user was injured, as the suit would not hold or generate a supply of medicines and biofoam, unlike the Mark VI. Another feature introduced, and applied to later versions, was magnetic soles on the suit's boots that allowed the wearer to stand on a high moving metal object, such as a ship's hull. The suit however did not accommodate magnetic plating to hold weapons and equipment.<ref>Halo: The Fall of Reach Chapter 14 Page 121</ref> Also, the suit was able to automatically pressurize to compensate for the addition of or lack of gravity as a life-saving mechanism. It was this function that Rebels took advantage of via the use of anti gravity plates. | The suit also had a number of other features, including recoil-compensating actuators, hydrostatic gel to regulate and monitor temperature and dampen impact force, and [[biofoam]] injectors.

Strangely, the Mark IV worn by the other [[SPARTAN-II]]'s is different from that worn by [[Gray Team]] in both color and appearance. It seems that Gray Team's unique armor type may well have been an early form of Mark IV CQB armor as evidenced by the low-slung shoulder plates and mounted combat knife. Also, the vents traditionally mounted on the shoulders of most MJOLNIR suits are placed on the wearer's chest, giving their arms a wider range of motion. Due to the close-quarter situations that [[Gray Team]] is probably used to dealing with, it would make sense that they would be given a specialized armor variant. {{clear}} | ||
