In Response To: Re: Um... I guess no one saw this? (Postmortem) : Truthfully, the simple fact is that the whole "Spartans are identical in : their armor" has been more or less overwritten, just as John never saw : Elites until Reach and humanity hadn't encountered Prophets before H2 has. except humanity not having fought Elites and not knowing about Prophets before then was stupid (with all due respect to Eric Nylund and Stephen Loftus, it just goes against all kinds of principles of strategy, not to mention straight up probability over 23 years), but having the Spartans all look pretty much identical in their armor mostly makes sense I think to keep holding on to that with such a literal interpretation : is only going to cause more upset at this point, as much as we all may : have liked those various things. Yes we've seen Mk. IV armor in Halo Wars. : But were any of those Spartans John? Nope. So really, this is canonically : the armor that he receives from Halsey in FoR, which we are JUST NOW : getting to see, as every other view we've gotten of him in that armor up : until now has been either heavily stylized or interpretive. For better or : for worse, this is now the armor set that he had up until receiving his : Mk. V at Reach. I think the argument here is, again, more that it doesn't entirely fit and it's not that good (I don't have enough information to take a stand on the argument, but I think that's what's going on here)

You cannot fall off the floor.
