M52B body armor is a designation encompassing at least two versions of general-use protective torso-wear primarily utilised by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].{{Ref/Note|The [[Halo Encyclopedia | M52B body armor is a designation encompassing at least two versions of general-use protective torso-wear primarily utilised by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]].{{Ref/Note|The [[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]], when referring to the M52B body armor, does so alongside illustrations of UNSC infantrymen as they appear in their [[Halo 3]] style. However, in-game crates can be found within [[Halo 2]], Halo 3 and [[Halo 3: ODST]] which depict the Halo 2 depiction of Marine body armor, labelled as M52B body armor. In addition, [[Halo: Uprising]] features depictions of Marines in different instances that resemble both Halo 2 and Halo 3 incarnations, indicating that the relevant body armor systems exist alongside one another in-universe. Thus, this article treats both the Halo 2 and Halo 3 designs as canonical and separate versions that are both known as M52B body armor.}} | ||
