Marine appearences in Halo 4

Whats up with the mix-matched armor sets in Halo 4? One is olive drab metallic armor with a face mask, another is mostly white and appears to be made out of more fabric like material and the other one is the same thing as the white except for the fact that it is black? (ODST's Maybe)

  • [url]http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/2/20/Halo4_UNSC_Marines.jpg[/url] This is a pretty good visual overview of USMC- errr...UNSCMC- battledress in Halo 4. My personal theory is that the white armor plate seen on 'Infantry 3' is used by Navy personnel. The white helmets seen in cutscenes are very similar to vacuum-capable examples from Reach, and higher visibility/reflectivity would very likely be considered a safety advantage in an EVA environment. The Medic also uses white armor- remember that the USMC uses [b]Navy corpsman, not organic Medics[/b]. This could very well be a nod to present-day Marine tradition. The variations between the various Marine versions is most likely akin to the various subsets of equipment used by most armed forces. Just because two servicemen are in the same branch does NOT mean that they will be equipped in an identical manner. It appears to be separated into a lighter, more mobile armor kit( 'Officer' and 'Infantry 2'), and a heavier, frontline set ( 'Infantry 4' and 'Communications').
