*It | *It had no [[energy shielding]] system, unlike the SPARTAN-IIs' MJOLNIR Mark V and Mark VI models, making the user far more vulnerable to enemy fire and a major contributor to the high fatality rate of the SPARTAN-III's. The exeption to this limitation could be found in the SPARTAN-III [[Headhunters]]: their experimental armor was known to be equipped with energy shields, due to their elite nature and value. However, power must be drawn from the energy shields to recharge the suit's active camouflage module. | ||
*It does not | *It does not grant the SPARTAN-IIIs enhanced strength, speed or agility, unlike MJOLNIR. | ||
*Since the photo-reactive plates take time to recover after explosions such as a [[flashbang grenade]] and plasma hits, the SPARTAN-III is visible until the plates recover. With the exception of the Headhunters' suits, the SPI armor does not feature true active camouflage systems. | *Since the photo-reactive plates take time to recover after explosions such as a [[flashbang grenade]] and plasma hits, the SPARTAN-III is visible until the plates recover.
