MJOLNIR GEN2 Thoughts

[Coda]

I decided to share some of my thoughts on the new generation of the MJOLNIR PAA (Powered Assault Armour)

When I first saw some of the helmets, I thought they all looked ridiculous and stupid. I hated pretty much all of them. Visors are all weird, not the same shape, everything just changed way too much for me. I couldn't handle it. But, now that I've thought about it a bit more, I kind of like it. Some of them I still don't really like. But that was the same with Halo REACH. I didn't like some of the helmets, and won't wear them.

With the Mark VI for example, there's that nice big visor that same look it's always had. With the RECON helmet, there's that much thinner visor. Or if you look at EOD, there's two eye holes (or in reach it's a small visor). All of these helmets are very different. Now, If you look at the new generation, there's still some of that. Same kind of visor. But, there's some really weird ones.

Look at those pictures. The visors are really odd. I really didn't like that at first. But like I said, I've thought about it more. That kind of visor can add a bit of a fear factor to the SPARTAN IVs. It makes it look human, but not quite human. You don't want to fight one of those.

It's the same with that one. Do you really want something like that running up to you with a rifle? Or what if it had this?

It all can make stuff scarier. Imagine being an insurrectionist, hiding behind a barricade with an assault rifle. You get up to return fire. You see that heading straight at you. That could make you wet your pants. It's the same thing while fighting covenant. Even if they're aliens, you're gonna want to scare them a bit. If you read the Halo: Glasslands novel,

an elite sees a spartan, and is scared of it because of how strong and fast they are. It's covered in armour. It doesn't even look human anymore. It's almost like a robot. Something you don't expect to fight in war.

And it works the same way with this. But this time, it's magnified. The GEN2 armour doesn't even look entirely human anymore. It changes it a bit. I don't like all the helmets, but even the weird ones can be pretty cool.

With these new, Promethean weaponry, and the scarier MJOLNIR PAA, I think it makes the SPARTAN IV program quite successful, even if we don't all like this new armour.

Those are some of my thoughts. What do you guys think about this new armour? Good? Bad? Both?

Customization is suppose to be even bigger than Reach with armor. There's really bound to be a few everyone will gravitate toward.

I loved the Reach armor right from the beginning, the Halo 4 armor I look at is ok but not amazing. But the one thing that bugs me about the new spartans is the stupid huge things on their backs which I think is a jump pack? I don't really know what they are but that's the thing that bugs me the most.

They still look too much like Power Rangers. I don't know, they look TOO bulky, I like the small, sleek designs from like Halo 3 and Halo 2 better.

I miss the armor from Halo 2.

These look to be the worst looking in the series. They don't look like SPARTANS, they look like robots.

Honestly, everytime I see that armor I think it's just a copy/paste off of Vanquish. It just looks silly.

I agree, they look a bit weird. Very different from what we're all used to. But hey, we could all grow to love em. I say give them a chance. Some actually look pretty cool
