The SPI armor Mark II was a more advanced version of the SPI Mark I, first used by the drill instructors of Beta Company, and then by the Spartans of [[Beta Company]]. They had new photo-reactive coating to boost camouflaging properties. There were also numerous experimental refits to the gel ballistic layers, upgraded software suites, and other functions. Although the new photo-reactive coating could mimic a wide range of EM (Electro-Magnetic) radiation, it was still sensitive to overload, which is why it takes the suit a few moments to reset after a flash-bang or [[plasma]] hit<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' page 113</ref>. | The SPI armor Mark II was a more advanced version of the SPI Mark I, first used by the drill instructors of Beta Company, and then by the Spartans of [[Beta Company]].

It was proposed in [[2537]] for Alpha Company, but the request was denied because the armor was over budget. After the "successful" operation of Alpha Company, the Mark II armor was approved for mass production. After the augmentation of [[Gamma Company]], small adjustments were installed into the SPI Armor Mark II. | It was proposed in [[2537]] for Alpha Company, but the request was denied because the armor was over budget.
