In Response To: My Thoughts (Steve)
: I actually believe the new armor looks like Mark VII armor. I don't know
: exactly why I feel this way, but it just looks too advanced, too
: revolutionized to be old armor.
: It also wouldn't make sense. If Onyx is where Dr. Halsey took Kelly, then why
: would she swap her Mark V with an obsolete Mark IV? I believe that Halsey
: only had enough time to make one suit of armor, and that, for some reason,
: Kelly would be better in that armor than the Chief.
: What really tantilizes me are the new guns. The Spartan in the background has
: an MA5B and Mark VI armor. The Spartan on the left looks like it has Mark
: V armor, although it might be Mark VI. It's hard to tell in the shadows.
: But both the one on the left and then one on the right are holding what
: looks to be a true mix of an MA5B and a Battle Rifle. It has very square
: guide rails on the front and no scope, as well as a shortened barrell, so
: it really makes me wonder if it is in fact a mixture of a Battle Rifle.
: The back end, however, as well as the grip, look exactly like an MA5B. My
: only guesses are that it's the MA2B, which was never properly described in
: detail, or it's just a new weapon. Either way, interesting stuff.
: -Can't wait for that book.
: -Steve
The reason for use of an obsolete system would be lack of new ones. After all, the closest SPARTAN is wearing Mark V, but the furthest has Mark VI, which could denote a lack in resources.
I don't think there's anywhere near enough time to design a Mark VII system.
