^ figuratively or literally?

Too dark for any literal implication.
But kinda Nanosuitish

^ May be, but Spartans in Reach have almost exactly the same design on their backs.

What are those shoulder things? Jetpacks?

Don't you think it is kinda 'bad' for his 'ass' if he tries to fly!

[USUF]

Those shoulder pads have been there since the Halo 2 design model actually. God you guys

They do look a bit more "apparent" now though. They are not jetpacks. They are low-powered zero-G thrusters that help the chief move around in zero-G environments. They were first used in the first level of Halo 2 for a short while. They were still there on his armor in Halo 3 but weren't used.

Here's his armor model from Halo 3. Even from the front, those thrusters are clearly visible.

u knw what ur rite,


still chief looks better and more BAD ASS

[Shyber]

Actually the armor plating last panel is going into a tailish finish - like Krogan armor
Could've improved that. But still, pretty cool.

[manigamer]

the way hes tilting his body LOOKS girlish to me stand UP STRAIGHT SOLDIER

[Gizmo]

^^You make a good point there.He lookjs like a super model posing for a mag cover

[Radical]

I guess he is curious himself & wants to know how his armor looks back there but his view is blocked by the zero-G thrusters

The last panel looks something you would see at the front, not at the back

Speaking of krogan armor, the armor designs for Shepard in ME 3 are totally awesome & look so good!

[USUF]

Relax people, its just a model made for use in the shortfilms coming up. The Halo 4 game model is still badass.
