In Response To: Re: Ghosts of Onyx speculation (Skunkwurx) : Mk VI armor seen in Halo 2... Now we also know the some Spartans got upgrades : to their armor in the first strike because Dr Halsey gives it to them in : the underground ONI base, The crates were clearly labeled "Mark V" in the underground base. They weren't getting Mk VI upgrades. : First the Artist, I would say it is an armor designed for maximum : protection... whether it has shields or not... look how the shoulder : joints fit, much less gap than the Mk V or VI and then the wrist joint... : there is no wrist, its a massive forearm with a hand.. The helmet looks : much more alien but, but better designed. : It gives the user a greater field of vision and dispenses with the needless : wings and other such things the need not be on the helmet... even the : fingers are individually armored : From a story point of view, This armor looks to bulky and doesn’t allow the : limbs to have full travel... it looks like the armor is compensating for : the lack of Spartan traits, like reinforced bones and better eye sight and : stronger muscles... and to do this the wrist joint has been taken out all : together and the shoulders hunched up, a bigger visor, armored fingers, : totally armored (with green plate) legs... Can you imaging what Kelly : would think of that, she is the fast one and all the design futures would : slow her down... Something I haven't heard from anyone in relation to all the talk of the Ghosts of Onyx cover so far is the astounding irrelevance the other 3 novel's cover art had to their contents. Maybe the GoO cover too has very little relevance to the actual novel's content.
