Re: Theory on why there's mixed feelings on these
Posted By: Quirel	Date: 8/20/12 11:25 p.m.
In Response To: Re: Theory on why there's mixed feelings on these (serpx) : If some of these new Spartan IV helmets were actually not human, and were : identified as alien , and had a backstory that we all knew and enjoyed, : would we have different feelings for these helmets? In the joint operations that immediately followed the Ark Conflict, the interaction between Spartan III operatives and Sangheili forces were strained, at best. Though the political, social, and cultural barriers were significant, some of the blame fell on the MJOLNIR armor. The Sangheili found the human elements of the armor design to be distasteful, and UNSC personnel suspected that the reputation forged by the Spartan IIs was intimidating the former Covenant. In short, the psychological edge the Spartans had cultivated was now working against them. In late 2553, this was addressed with cosmetic changes to existing armor designs. Aesthetics from both Covenant and Forerunner armor were implemented, and anecdotal evidence indicates that this has found favor with the Sangheili. In mid-2554, the new armor was restricted to joint operations with the Covenant Separatists. Deployments with UNSC troops led to statistically significant increases in friendly fire incidents. : I think it's fun to look into and debate on the whys of how we feel about : these changes, going deeper than the "It doesn't look Halo!" : argument. Agreed.
