Split the article

I think that the MJOLNIR mark IV, Mark V and Mark VI deserves own, separate articles. I attempted to create an Mark IV article, but someone with better editing skills needs to clean it up.81.232.69.135 17:30, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

In Halo 3 does Master Chief wear Mark VI?

Are we completely sure that the newest pictures of the Chief are in Mark VI? The color looks kind of different...I think we should remove the image because of the possibility that it is Mark VII.--User:JohnSpartan117 [1] 02:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I agree. The newest images of the Chief from H3 are most likely the Mark VII(or whatever the folks at Bungie decide to call the next version;) So we shouldn't presume to know the facts regarding it's designation...even though it's very likely. It's almost definitely not the Mark VI, though. For the same reason we should label any references to the Mark VII armor as speculation, since we don't have factual data on it yet. Keep the images, because they are dynamic, but don't mislead the readers.--Cu Roi 19:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually, if you look at a zoomed in picture of the new halo 3 hoodie, there is a caption below the MC saying: UNSC Mark VI Mjolnir --Dockman 22:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

What if it is mark vi.2??

I wouldn't call it VI or VII yet. Wait until the game is out. Although Bungie is in love with seven.... 65.87.44.196 10:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Good point on the VII(7) issue. but it looks mostly the same and performs the same. maybe he just got it repainted in halo 3 losing the shine and flecks of battle damage.

How could it possibly be Mark VII armor? When would he have gotten it? He was wearing Mark VI armor in Halo 2 and he went straight into the fight from there. He had it on when he went into Truth's ship and hit Earth's atmosphere with it on. I don't see any possible way it could be Mark VII.--Praetorian452 19:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

The way I see it...is the graphics are better. So truely, the armor...always looked like that.--76.174.34.216 09:29, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

GoO Spartans had Mark VI Armour!

The article states that John is the only one to have received VI. However, if you look on the cover of GoO, a Spartan wearing VI is in the background.

That's Kurt in the MJOLNIR MARK V armor!--Master Chief Petty Officer 09:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

who assumes that They were the only ones wearing Mark V? i was always under the assumption that everyone was getting the new armour-Fred swaps damaged parts of his Mark V with someone who had died! why would they be the only ones to have it?

  • read the article. under the Mark V heading, it has what i'm talking about.
I thought that they got the Mark VI parts from a secret weapons locker deep under the base. Kerek 09:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

�

I think it's Mark VI Because Halo 2 Takes course over a very, very, very short period of time so I don't think there would be enough time to even make a Mark VII! Kerek 09:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Kurt-051 have received the cut down version of the MJOLNIR armor, it was mentioned in Ghost of Onyx (or did I carelessly misread the article?)--Master Chief Petty Officer 10:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Kurt has his old MJOLNIR suit, but he chooses to wear his SPI armor instead because he doesn't want to feel separate from his S-III unit. --Dragonclaws(talk) 23:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I am talking about the distribution of the armor, Kurt received one, why his his name not written on the article?--Master Chief Petty Officer 04:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

On the cover of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx it is Kelly in MJOLNIR Mark V armor because Dr. Halsey kiddnapped her in Halo: First Strike.-- MCDBBlits 18:10, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't it like this?

  • Fred- Mark VI
  • Will- Mark VI
  • Linda- Mark VI
  • Kelly- Mark V
  • Kurt- SPI Mark II

Cuz kelly wouldn't have recieved upgrades, (Dr. Halsey's fault) But Blue Team surely would have. The UNSC would have given Blue Team all the support they could have. Plus I think Kurt only had the Mark IV because it was his origional suit (I think anyway. forgive me if I am wrong) --Captain Jacob Rathens 02:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC) �

  • I think I read somewhere that some of the Spartans upgraded the Mk. V with some of the Mk. VI components like the helmet. I forgot where though. Can someone confirm? Leonidas-300 04:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • They got it in First Strike. But they most likely did upgrade to the full Mk. VI armor

Right, this is how i know it: Its not been said who has what armour, however as far as i know only John-117 recieved the Mk. VI because it was far to expensive. Blue team however recieved upgrades, giving them the 'V.5' armour with parts of the VI installed on thier V armour. Kurt did not have Mk. IV armour, he had the SPI Mk. II. --Ajax 013 09:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thats what I said, he was wearing SPI Mark II but thae armor in his locker (the one he didn't wear) would have been a Mark IV MJOLNIR armor i think. And why does everyone assume that the Mark VI would be to expensive for the other Spartans to upgrade? the parts the other spartans got on Reach were prototypes. I think. so does anyone have sources on the whole "Mk. VI was to expensive" thing? --Rear Admiral Jacob Rathens 03:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bump old discussion but i'd like to nore that cover of GoO is just ART! So all other Spartans probably don't have Mark VI

Master Chief is NOT wearing Mark VII armor in Halo 3 "Time"

Some believe that the chances of the Master Chief wearing Mjolnir Mark VII armor is impossible, saying that 'there was no chance for him to acquire the armor because the Covenant already had control of Earth.' Indeed, it seems unlikely that John would have the time to acquire such a high tech piece of armor, considering the Covenant had control of most of Earth when he returned aboard the Prophet's ship. Some also believe that small parts of the armor were exchanged for newer, more upgraded parts. And this might lead Bungie to call it 'Mjolnir Mark VII', because of the new parts.

Other theories could be the possibility of the armor's color wearing out from countless battles. The green color would slowly dissipate and turn into an olive green, then from that onto an olive green/brown. This might be another reason why the Master Chief's armor appears brownish instead of the normal green.

Well, I think that the gloves is slightly different, and the HUD is definetly a big change. There might be a long period after Halo 2, so it appears so Master Chief Petty Officer 05:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Well I think while the Forerunner Ship jumped there was a gap while they were in Slipspace so the Chief may have may have Mark VII or Mark 6.5 and there is no evidence that all of Earth is under control because Blue Team has been killing all of them.

There is a period between Halo 3, and Master Chief must have gone through a fight without killing himself. if he's using Mark VI he could have died a long time ago. It must be an upgraded oneMaster Chief Petty Officer 05:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

The UNSC would not put the mark 6 in production just to turn around as little as a mounth later and put a mark 7 into production, its at best an upgraded mark 6 and as stated in the fall of Reach when the mark 4 was retired it had long lost its color.-- MCDBBlits 18:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

That's not the point, when Mark VI was produced the world is not at high risk at Covenant invasion, they are not at the point of ruining Earth, but at the end of Halo 2 the Flood, Covenants are boarding Earth, and it seems that might need a better armor for the MC to defend Earth. If he is still wearing the batty old Mark VI than he would have died in the blast in Starry Night Trailer. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 04:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Who said Earth is completely Covenant controlled at the start of H3? There could of been time between the Prophet's ship landing and the complete capture of Earth. You just don't know if there was time for a new suit to be made and issued until they release the game. Unless you work at Bungie or something. Teflon4 11:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

During the Beta we were given access to the "Standard Mjolnir armour" that the Master Chief is wearing during Halo 3. When you clicked down the righ thumb stick you could zoom in about 2X. On either the bottom left of right hand corners of this 'in helmet view' it stated that the suit in use was a Mark VI. Check the beta videos if you need to. But I think that's fairly conclusive proof.

Not really. Bungie might of put it in there for you super searching nerds. THe armour from the 2007 tralier looks as green as even which means it could have been upgrated and is brand new looking. Qwertyui606 07:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm just going to say this: so far, every new mark has had at least 1 MAJOR change. From MKIII to MKIV it was reactive metal for faster movements instead of a robotic exoskeleton. From MKIV to MKV it was energy shields and room for a starship grade AI. from MKV to MKVI it was healing capabilities. (don't pretend the 'shield upgrade' actually helped. Or did the Covies at the same time upgrade their plasma rifles? You tell me. Either case, not a major change) In Halo 3, you get new gloves, and perhaps a paint job. New Mark? I don't think so.--CGD 19:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

It's just the graphics, god, I think people would go searching if a pebble on the ground in halo 3 looked different from the "halo 2-era pebbles", and past speculations make it sound like people think master chief made himself a new suit in the probably rather short time between Halo 2 and 3 (forerunner ships are faster than covenant and UNSC ships) but no change, other than the graphics. Though it doesn't make sence ow the gauntlets and HUD changed.Papayaking 05:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

After I finished reading Halo: Uprising I started to think of something. Like in Halo: First Strike when an Engineer fixed John's suit and in Halo: Contact Harvest when Lighter Than Some made the Chopper I came up with an idea. Maybe while on the ship he met a GROUP of Engineers and on the Dreadnought at the same time they were preparing to make a NEW Sangheili ARMOR! And obviously Engineers were working on it. And as Locklear hypothesized, the Engineers remembered what they were doing and when they met the poor Master Chief with his now-not-new armor they disided to help the "enemy". As I am typing this I am holding Halo: Uprising to make sure it all checks out. Yep. It checks out! Gogeta21 20:51, April 21, 2010 (UTC)!!!!!!


The Chief is wearing Mk. VI Armor in Halo 3. Dr. Halsey never got around to making a Mk. VII. The "New" armor components could merely be aesthetic, for looks. The HUD could be a wireless upgrade, and the gauntlets? Well, I don't know. Bruce2401 07:35, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

where is the mark II armour mentioned

in all my time playing halo reading the books and looking around here this is the first instance i have ever heard of the mark II armour can somebody tell me where it is mentioned --Fatman ninja 18:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I think they might have mentioned it in Fall of Reach, I am not sure, but I've seen something similar about it tooMaster Chief Petty Officer 05:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Maby it was just ASSUMED!?

I thought the exo armor the trainers use to train against the S-II in Fall of Reach was the begginings of the MJOLNIR armors development -- MCDBBlits 18:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think anyone ever mentions "MJOLNIR" MkI, MkII or MkIII. The exoskeleton Mk1 is mentioned in "Fall of Reach" but Dr H stated that for project Mjolnir the design concept of the exoskeleton projects had to be scraped and Mjolnir was redesigned from the ground up; wich would give the Mjolnir its own Mk I, II, and III. Page 70 Fall of Reach. Personally, I don't feel that the Mjolnir system was ever plugged in or used broadcast power. Dagger133 04:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Just bumping this back into the spotlight, as it never seems that the Mk-II or Mk-III have ever received any footnotes or sources. Maybe it's in the Halo Encyclopedia, but I haven't read that yet. If we can't find any sources the articles are pure speculation and should be removed and replaced with a "no one knows anything about these" blurb.--Cu Roi 06:40, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

This is exactly the same as the wikipedia article...

They just changed a couple of words-- Black Mercy 18:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Master Chief Petty Officer 04:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

But not the talk page

Armor Shields

I heard that after 20 shield depletes/recharges the shields stop working,Is that true? --Mac10&Cheese 23:28, 18 March 2007

I don't think so. In game you can do more than that. Plus, in First Strike the Master Chief's shields were damaged. I think Cortana damaged then when she teleported Chief. But I still don't think it is 20. --Captain Jacob Rathens 02:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well for one thing if you shoot someone with the sniper rifle 5 times.(shoot,recharge shoot,recharge etc.)you die.

huh? now I'm confused. I still think it recharges indefinetly. --Captain Jacob Rathens 05:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

In the game it will recharge every time it is hit. (unless you die). THough in game lore after Halo 1 it is replaced since it was highly damaged. It can be recharged in game forever. Qwertyui606 07:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Mystery Armor

An early screenshot of Halo: Combat Evolved.
John's armour in the concept of Halo: Combat Evolved

Where did you get that?--UNSC AI 20:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I know that, that's a picture from The Art of Halo. That's a pic from an early screenshot in 1999, the first announcment of the Halo game, actually!Master Chief Petty Officer 11:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That was an early concept for MJOLNIR armor before it became what it is today. --ED(talk)(shockfront) 20:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm the guy who put it in so go ahead, Shower me with HATE Mail, I can take it! -- Ptowery 22:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

WHO PUT THE FREAKING CLEAR TEMPLATE IN!?!? Anyway, it isn't hate mail. Güéߣ¥-∏éҐ
