Production notes[edit]
Early renditions of the Nightfall armor would utilize RG-63 Counter greaves as a placeholder asset, with the final Nightfall greaves being a heavily modified version of this same armor. Additionally, the leg armor would return in Halo: The Master Chief Collection during Series 5: Anvil, being backported from Halo Online to be used as an option in Halo 3's armor customization suite. While sharing a design, the Halo 3 variant would only be identified as WARRIOR.
