Talk:MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)

GEN2?
What exactly does GEN2 mean? I'm guessing it means Generation-II. So lightweight variants are GEN2 while normal Spartan-II variants are GEN1? I was hoping that this would have been the Mark VII. --ADinoSupremacist 15:37, 25 May 2012 (EDT)

It means Generation 2. Its second GEN MJOLNIR Armor. DA BEST 16:34, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

It can only be seen for a quarter of a second, but it's EVA, which makes sense. Alex T Snow 20:13, 7 June 2012 (EDT)

Preorder Armors
Does anyone know if the preorder exclusive skins are for the armor themselves, or just the patterns on the armor? Bioniclepluslotr 17:23, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

Merge GEN2 armors into Mark VII?
So it seems that GEN2 is going to cover Mark VII to any future MJOLNIR armors (if there's a potential Mark VIII.) It can be assumed that all of the armor sets that are featured here on the GEN2 are actually variants of the Mark VII. Similar to how all the armor sets in Halo 3 (except for Mark V) are all variants of the Mark VI. --ADinoSupremacist 14:04, 5 September 2012 (EDT)

Based on this new info, this is how a MJOLNIR chart would look like (simplified) We don't know what kind of Mark VII she received. She could have Recon, Wetwork or anything. If for example she is wearing Wetwork she is wearing GEN2 MJOLNIR Mark VII/Wetwork. Master Chief at the moment is wearing GEN1 Mark VI/Modified? Yes all of these new armor pieces are under GEN2, but they fall under the Mark VII line. ADinoSupremacist 16:51, 5 September 2012 (EDT)
