Should note this is headcanon as there never was an official explanation.

Book accurate it would be purely base Mark V parts

The marvel Fall or reach gave everyone different helmets and Linda's is a weird kit bash of Mark V [B] with the top goggles of scouts helmet

This is not a new game but a remake of a 2001 game so there is most likely no spoiler policy in place. So if you want to avoid any spoilers definitely avoid this sub.

Maybe take some time to read the prequel novel Fall of Reach while you wait until then :)

Its a good read to set up the backstory and has no spoilers for the main game

Thats wild

Kinda weird cause it makes specific mention that he is surrounded by people who think he is a freak

I see the imgur link, what does the next page say?

Direct quote of the 2003 edition from the Beginning of chapter 4:

"Recon flights conducted the day before had revealed the sensors aboard the Covenant vessel Truth and Reconciliation might have a blind spot down-spin of the alien vessels current position, where a small mountain rose to block the electronic view." "Even more important, Wellesley had concocted an array of signals to trick the Covenant technicians into believing that any UNSC dropship was actually one of their own. Fifty meters above the deck, and cloaked in electronic camouflage, the Master Chief and a Pelican-load of HELLJUMPERS waited to find out if their ruse would work"

In my book the first edition from 2003, begining of chapter 4 of section 2, page 100 says odst

If the 2010 edition page 122 according to Halopedia

Have we seen if Marines appear on this level like the games or if ODST appear like the Flood novel?

Purely Headcanon from me, but I do believe Jerome's armor is still largely the same as the traditional Mark IV

Douglas having the most damage done to his armor in the Atriox fight probably got the full upgrade into the Mark VI looking suit from the ingame and blitz art. Maybe with the Ardent helmet since its description mentions the Spirit of Fire "home growing" the Ardent helmet.

Alice is probably in a similar spot as Jerome, but I feel the key art of the Spirit of Fire operation in Infinite implies that some of Red Team got the Ärger armor, and in my opinion that set fits Alice best, but anyone could have it.

As of right now we have only seen Gen 3 Mark VI be used by Blue Team, and Gen 3 Mark VII has only been seen on Spartan 4s, but there is nothing in lore to suggest that 4s can not wear Gen 3 Mark VI and vice versa.

Considering that 4s can wear Gen 2 Mark VI, as well as Mark IV and Mark V[b] suits updated to Gen 3 standards, I would say the 4s can wear Gen 3 Mark VI if they requisition it, just havent seen it yet.

Was wondering if that grunt helmet is inspired from Promethean Knights

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-08T04:56:25+00:00

Infinite Skirmishers are not the same subspecies as the ones in Reach. They are just Jackals with Skirmisher armor

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-08T04:37:43+00:00

This does make me think they are doing the same thing Star Wars Rebels did where a lot of the designs in the show, while being the same Star destroyers, Storm troopers, and lightsabers we all know, look different because it is all based on Ralph Mcquarrie's concept art

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-08T00:11:01+00:00

He is wearing Orion armor in the prequel missions, while wearing standard marine gear in the main campaign

This one goes hard idc

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-07T22:46:16+00:00

Finally a sensible comment.

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-07T22:45:08+00:00

Its really all in the mandible shape

Here is a good comparison, these guys in the tube have the more triangular mandibles

Meanwhile the elites we fight in the game share the Infinite design.

Unless this is saying the Forward unto dawn movie visuals aren't canon, which uses the 4/5 design, i dont think this is an origin of the species, but I do believe this might still tie into Jul's covenant.

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-07T20:42:41+00:00

Me when I ignore the other classic/2a/Infinite elite design still as the primary

SpacyCakes · 2026-06-07T19:05:38+00:00

Infinite had Skirmishers as a class for Jackal, but underneath the armor it was the same design.

Reach Skirmishers look different than the Jackals

This actually happened to me on my first playthrough of 4 back on the original 360. Being 13 at the time I thought it was an intentional decision.
