Commando harness

The Commando Harness is a type of Sangheili body armor.

Introduction
The Commando Harness is a Harness of the Elite race. It is converse to the UNSC MJOLNIR Armor, featuring a self-motivated recharging Energy Shield. It is used by the Sangheili Commandos. It is an armor permutation in Halo 3 multiplayer. Bungie has confirmed all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.The Commando armor is considered as one of the most popular for the Elite due to its rounded look. however, it is not common to see it due to the achievements required to gain it.

History and Development
It is the standard harness of the newly formed Commando unit based upon pre-contact ground forces. The helmet features hardened communication gear and uplink capabilities and the thoracic cage is streamlined for greater maneuverability in close environments. Lightweight construction materials and advanced internal components increase overall performance.

Helmet Characteristics
It is similar to the Assault Harness but is more smoothed and unlike the Flight Harness it is more rounded than angular. Unlike the Assault Harness features separate mandible guards. There is a small blue light on the forehead, one on the chin and one under each eye, which are also small blue lenses. The helmet also angles and slopes forward, giving the head a narrower appeareance. This along with the Ascetic helmet are the two rarest elite helmets to be seen due to the skill needed to acquire them.

Deltoid Protector Characteristics
The deltoid protectors for this armor model appear to be similar to the Combat Harness' model but more smooth, curved and angular.

Thoracic Cage Charcteristics
The thoracic cage has a line of separation in the center, with a small, half oval shaped silver block protruding right in the center.
