Very little is known about the Forerunner Combat Skin, other than that it was used by combat personnel and was comparable, but far more advanced than, the UNSC [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. It is first mentioned by [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] as he is leading [[John-117]] through the [[Library (Level)|Library]], wondering why he had brought "such ineffective weapons" to combat the [[Flood]], and recommends that he upgrade to a Class 12 Combat Skin from the MJOLNIR, which is ranked on the Forerunner classification system as a Class 2, and notes that the MJOLNIR is ill-suited to combating the Flood. On the other hand, Guilty Spark also notes that the MJOLNIR will serve John well when the Flood begins converting Halo's atmosphere, commenting that he is a "good planner," perhaps indicating that this was a function that a Combat Skin lacked.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', [[The Library (Level)]]</ref> Upon learning that there was a powered armor system six times more powerful than the MJOLNIR, John experessed enthusiasm at the opportunity to wear one.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', | Very little is known about the Forerunner Combat Skin, other than that it was used by combat personnel and was comparable, but far more advanced than, the UNSC [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]].

The Terminals on [[Installation 00]] indicate that other Combat Skin classifications existed, ranging from 1 to 4, and that there were other suits of a similar nature, such as the Battle Harness, with its own classification ranging from 1 to 6, and the Platform Interface Skin. Eventually, all [[Civilian]] personnel were required to wear at least a Class 8 Combat Skin unless in core areas, and all Military personnel were required to wear at least a Class 12 Combat Skin.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[Terminals]]</ref> | The Terminals on [[Installation 00]] indicate that other Combat Skin classifications existed, ranging from 1 to 4, and that there were other suits of a similar nature, such as the Battle Harness, with its own classification ranging from 1 to 6, and the Platform Interface Skin.
