Armor variants. We, the people of Halopedia, already know that there are several SPARTAN armor variants that are going to be in Halo 3. Rumors of Covenant armor permutations also exist, even though Bungie is not saying anything about them. I, Spartan-091, am going to go over each armor type for you, making my opinions about them. You may not agree with these opinions, but that's fine. I respect myself. And my stupid opinions. Okay, here we go:

MJOLNIR ARMOR -

Appearance: This stuff looks pretty awesome, I must admit. I mean, the classic MCPO armor. Who wouldn't like this armor type? It looks solid, just like all Spartans are, and is my favorite armor type. MJOLNIR appears just like its SPARTAN wearer: tough, strong, resiliant. Not to mention, it makes you look good.

Public Opinion: Many Halopedians say that they will stay with MJOLNIR as their armor of choice in Halo 3 skirmishes, and I can't blame them. Old soldiers die hard, and so does this armor type.

Personal Rating: " **** " This variant's exterior is the coolest and the best-looking of all of them.

CQB ARMOR

Appearance: The CQB variant is reminiscent of the ODST armor, but much more bulked up than its Marine cousin. It appears to have a combat knife sheath embedded in its chestplate, allowing the wearer to place his favorite melee blade in a safe place. I'm not sure if a knife will be included in the game, but this armor is my second favorite. It looks ready for a fight and is solidly built for close-in duels as its name implies.

Public Opinion: Halopedians seem to agree that this variant is the best of the new armors, and a lot of them want to make this their default selection for matches in the new game.

Personal Rating: " **** " This one's good. I like how it's helmet is made, and its chest plate has that knife-thing. So, I'd go with this one if MJOLNIR wasn't a choice.

EVA ARMOR -

Appearance: This permutation is similar to another well-known armor type, the Semi-Powered Infiltration armor. However, the EVA model is actually quite different from the stealthy Spartan-III armor that it resembles. For one thing, it is much more armored than SPI, as would seem neccessary for a space-safe suit. This is a strange-looking variant, as the bubble-top helmet gives it an outlandish appearance.

Public Opinion: Only a few Halopedians have decided to use this suit on their Spartan-II avatar, and usually only because its strange exterior grants a large amount of individuality to the wearer. In other words, wear this to get noticed.

Personal Rating: " *** " I find this armor to be very, very wierd looking, and personally would not wear this at all. If you do want to wear it, people will recognize you for your distinctive flair for the strange.

CONCLUSION

Thank you, Bungie for giving us fan-boys and -girls the opportunity to customize our personal avatar even further! I look forward to buying Halo 3 and having an "unfreakingbelievable" time with it! For Oracle Newsletter, this is SPARTAN-091, reminding you to have a good killing experience.
