Choot 'em Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've been wanting to add this topic for a while and after tediously searching the forums, I have found no topics on the subject so here goes........ Will we finally get to see the final generation MJOLNIR Mark VII powered armor researched by Dr. Halsey? Description outlined in her personal journal: MJOLNIR Mark VII Next-gen fusion-plasma hybrid technology Atmospheric insertion systems Slipspace de-insertion capability Active AI transfer protocols Limited shaping of energy shield (partial overlaps, airfoils, etc.) As stated by Frank O'Conner in his interview with OXM: "There's story behind his new look". "There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his behaviors have changed. We'll see in good time." Halo: Glasslands, page 291: Naomi-010 was equipped with a set of MJOLNIR Mark VII armor, stating it was lighter than the Mark VI and from a new supplier. (added 12/4) from page 291 "She was tinkering with her helmet, something that really didn't need doing if that armor fixed itself." I do realize that it's all just speculation as of now but I think the addition of the final generation of MJOLNIR would be fitting for the beginning of the new Halo series. Thoughts and comments welcome!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMastrNova Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 It actually sounds like a good idea. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S-501 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 It sounds like it could work. It would explain the cheif's new look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've got Glasslands but not yet read it. I think the outfit MC has on will be the Mark VII I'm hoping for a trailer or short film pre release of H4 to explain why/how MC has different looking armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperIntendant Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 It sounds like it could work. It would explain the cheif's new look. No, not really. Unless he somehow upgraded his armor to the lastest edition while in chrio and while floating away from civilization. It would be nice to have the upgraded armor though and I hope he gets it somewhere in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinreaper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Guys remember, it was only a teaser trailer. Creating the models for newer looking Chief and Cortana, etc... always come first when switching gears to a new game. Yes they simply could have used the old H3 models with newer shaders, but thats easy work compared to new fresh models with permutations. I would not at all be suprised if they used newer models simply to illustrate the bounds to which this new game will be pushing. If the timeline for console hardware holds true...this will be the last 360 Halo title, and I am all but certain they will almost push the 360 to the point of breaking with the tech they are imploying.

Adam91 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 all good points but how is he gonna get an armor upgrade while he is floating away in space as seen in the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S-501 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 No, not really.

It would be nice to have the upgraded armor though and I hope he gets it somewhere in the game. Well, in halo: Glasslands, i think Dr. Halsey or someone said that the Mjonir armor could upgrade itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalHawk722 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think it would be interesting if he gets some forerunner armor (the kind described in Halo: Cryptum), he is after all, probably going to be fighting infected forerunners...

Choot 'em Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I will enter the search and have edited in an image into the OP. Thanks AD!!! I've added more from Halo: Glasslands about the armor practically "fixing" itself!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmons Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 simple he woke up got on new armor and went back to sleep thats the end of it until he gets up again to kick forerunner ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardent Prayer Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think MJOLNIR Mark VII is the armor that chief was wearing on the Halo 4 trailer.... With no crotch piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIREN4 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think MJOLNIR Mark VII is the armor that chief was wearing on the Halo 4 trailer.... With no crotch piece lol, that's exactly what i was thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterxChiefx13 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I find it funny that in any video I look at about this topic, someone just has to point out the crotch piece. Now everytime I watch the trailer I just immediately look down there, no homo. *awkward silence* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father B Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Howdy, Mr. Choot. I strongly hope that we get to see and use MJOLNÏR Mk. VII in future Halo titles. Not to be a downer, but I somehow doubt we'll see it before H5. If MJOLNÏR has always been Halsey's baby, the Chief might have to find her and bring her (or fully detailed notes by her) back home first. If that's how it's going to be, there's a chance we'll see Mk. VII at the end of H4 — perhaps only when beaten on Legendary. But unless we can get a mole inside 343i, only time will tell. I wonder what 'Class' the Mk. VII is, if the Mk. V was a 'Class 2' according to 343 Guilty Spark in CE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choot 'em Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I wonder what 'Class' the Mk. VII is, if the Mk. V was a 'Class 2' according to 343 Guilty Spark in CE. That is a very good question Father!! Thank you for bringing that to my attention!! I did a little research and according to Halopedian.com under Combat skins - During the Battle of Installation 00, Guilty Spark can be heard lamenting that John did not upgrade his Combat Skin. The fact that the Mark VI is more advanced than the Mark V that Guilty Spark had previously encountered and is still classed as a Class 2 may indicate that the Combat Skin class system is based on another factor other than combat performance, or that despite its upgrades it was still inferior to a Class 3 Combat Skin. This portion is found under "description" and other conjectured formulas are found under "speculation". I would have to assume this closer to the truth therefore presume that the MJOLNIR Mark VII would be no less than a tier 3, but quite possibly higher. There is no difinitive proof or formula to use to determine it's Forerunner Class Tier rating so this would be the most logical to me.

GlobalHawk722 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 All the books say that Spartans can run like 40 miles per hour. I think it would be cool if the Mark VII armor let us do this. Or at least does something to improve chiefs mobility... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyDoo22 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yes, it would be awesome if Chief eventually had this armor in Halo 4, but he'd have to start off with the MKVI first though. Have engineers or something help him upgrade to the MKVII, probably a good opportunity to reveal his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmons Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 i understand that you guys would think that there would still only be mark vi, but halo 4 is like a year later after halo 3 so they had to of produced new technology within that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
