It augments?

It was mentioned in the Encyclopaedia passage on the Combat Harness (pg 125) that it increases a Sangheili's strength and speed in a similar fashion to Mjolnir. (To what degree is not mentioned though). Should this not be included somewhere in the article? ;) Anton1792 21:03, 2 June 2011 (EDT)

I do not remember it ever mentioning that the Harness augments it's wearer. Can you post the exact quote I don't have access to my copy of The Flood. OniLink 01:29, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

It was the Encyclopaedia, not The Flood. The exact wording of the passage, from page 125, is:

"The Elite combat harness is the standard armour used by the Sangheili in all Covenant conflicts. Similar to the Spartans' Mark VI in that it boosts speed and strength while adding a personal energy shield, the armour is actually less advanced and can withstand less damage than a Spartans' armour." -Anton1792 15:43, 2 July 2011 (EDT)

Remnant

Do the Elites lack arm armor due to lack of equipment nowadays?

When your armour features energy shielding, forearm armour seems less important. It may be an act of arrogance, or perhaps it's practical, shedding needless weight to improve mobility? -- Qura 'Morhek The Autocrat of Morheka 03:43, 8 January 2013 (EST)

Sangheili Harness Hub page

I propose we re-purpose this page into a Sangheili combat harness hub. And made a separate page for the "Combat harness" for normal suit. Just so we dont trash the info.

Ok for the hub page idea. Here is a list of all known Harnesses(that I can remember), just so we have them at the ready for the page.

Halo 3

Halo Reach
Thank the Halo the Essential visual guide for this name.

Halo 2: Anniversary

Halo 4/5
If statements are to be believed and the Halo 4 visual guide then the Halo 4/5's harnesses should be called this

Ranger armor note
The Halo Reach and 2A's variants should be considered a sub-set of the Assault harness considering that they are "effectively a highly specialized example of the more ubiquitously encountered – and labeled – Assault harness". The Essential visual guide also calls the Ranger armor in Halo reach the "Assault harness" with an "EVA faceshield".

The Halo 4 and 5 variant is a sub-variant of the Storm-class harness

Not sure armor
Luckily this is mainly contained to Halo Reach armor, still annoying regardless.

Hope this gets us started in some way to get Sangheili armor more organised like Spartan armor. --CIA391 (talk) 16:38, 6 March 2016 (GMT)
