Talk:Semi-Powered Infiltration armor

Marines
Could Marines use this armor? Does it amplify strength like Mjolnir armor does. I know it doesn't have shields or the power of Mjolnir. SPARTAN-101 15:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Strength & capabilities of SPI Armor
Yes the SPI Armor enhances strength, speed, and agility but not to the same point as MJOLNIR Armor dose. So while a Spartan-II in MJOLNIR Armor could lift a Warthog over their head or rip open a reinforced metal door like it was made of paper, as demonstated in the beginning of Ghosts of Onyx, SPI Armor would enhance a Spartan-III's strength & speed to probally half that, on top of their augmentations. Most likely enough to lift and throw say a Elite, who would most likely weigh like 350-or-400 pounds, with ease and snap bones like twigs and dent metal with a single punch and dodge some weapons fire but not enough strength to say lift and flip a Warthog, at least not with out a assist from a team mate. Also 'Powered Armor' means armor that both protects a soldier from weapons fire and battle field hazards and ehances their physical attributes, at least that is how every form of powered armor works I have ever seen. I hope that explains some of the qustions here. User:ShadowedSpider 7:44 January 7, 2008

CPO Mendez
I don't understand, if the drill instructors can use it why doesn't CPO Mendez use it during the sentienal raid on onyx?--The Chazz 23:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC) --Well thats really simple,CPO Mendez was in the watch tower during the time of attack,unable to get to the armor.--Mac10&amp;Cheese 15:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

shields
do there suits have shields? User:Kami-Sama

No. but they have active-camouflage, rendering them nearly invisible. Kora &#39;Morhekee 03:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Added a link to SciFi-Meshes.com, a freaking spectactular job at rendering the SPI armor from the book! (Solidus117)

picture
Wouldn't the picture in the article be a Mk.2? It says unknown but when Kelly gets there, (the one in the Mjolnir mk IV) the S3's are beta compamy and they used Mk 2 SPi suits.

Cool
Will the SPI armor in halo 3 have shields??? It would be cool if it had active camo AND shields, but then EVERYONE would use it...Iloveenergyswords 04:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * A good idea, just have the shielding about the same as if you have a severe handicap on. Respect them Grunts, M  o  u  s  e  [[Image:XtremeBoxer1.jpg|25px]] 04:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to be all SPI armour, just the helmet is the same. Anyway, armour customization allows you to mix and match parts of different variations of the MJOLNIR armour, so that could mean that there might be SPI armour pieces. like the helmet, or the Extra Vehicular Activity space-walk type mentioned in GoO, which might involve the completely dome shaped helmet with all gold visor?--Keyes 07:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Infact if you look at the armor cutmization page. Bungie confirmed it at EVA 65.87.44.196 09:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

SPI armour wouldn't fit into Halo 3. The reason being is that all armour permutations in Halo 3 have no effect on gameplay. The SPI armour doesnt have shields, and has active camo, giving it an advantage, and disadvantage, over the other armour.Ryan926 03:33, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

What chest armor would look most like it? EVA has head and shoulders covered.--Kamikaze14 13:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Temwork Teamwork is bad?
Teamwork is listed as a disadvantage. Wouldnt this improve their performance.Dragonblaze-052 07:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
