RECON-class Mjolnir



This unknown armor set is a type of United Nations Space Command body armor.

Introduction
The unknown armor set was seen in the background of the picture released for Bungie Day and bears no similarity to the other armor sets released. A render of the helmet has been leaked onto the web. It is speculated to be the Ninja armor.

It will be an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Development
Unknown.

Trivia

 * The helmet appears to be superficially similar to the MJOLNIR VI armor but the visor is thinner, as is its face plate which seems to run to the chin, leaving a black area between the visor and the face plate.
 * Its chest plate seems much thicker than that of the EVA and CQB's chest plate and seems to be much more than simply armor bolted on but several segmented layers between one and three layers.
 * The shoulder pad seems similar to that of the EVA shoulder pad but has an angular peak in the center, where the object would be on the EVA armor.
 * Many people have begun to compare it to the CQB however its visor is smaller and a different shape, it lacks the cheek guards, it lacks the ridges on the helm, the black reinforcement on the helmet. Its shoulder pads and chest plates bear no major similarity to those of previous armor sets.
 * It appears to be even more heavily armored, with a larger outer shell, possibly a "Heavy Weapons Variant" designed to take fire from heavy weapons and to use them. This is largely theory, based strictly on design.
 * Although both the shoulder pads and helmet in the Screen shot and Wallpaper are the same there is a noticable difference between the chest plates. This could mean that the wallpaper or screenshot armor is using another armors chestplate instead of the full set, or that the armors chest plate has been redesigned in the time between the two images
