Think about it: he is a Spartan III, and this was their trademark armor. Consider this: Halo 3's Armor screen (that tells you their backstory) states that EVA armor is for "Extra Vehicular Activity", i.e. fighting in space. Considering you're on the ground at Reach, this wouldn't make sense for him to be wearing it. SPI armor, on the other hand, was made especially for stealth.
[url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPI]SPI armor[/url]
Also, he has so far been seen with a rather nasty looking Combat Knife, and a new type of Shotgun. This may hint at his covert-nature. Additionally, he has a ghost painted/scratched onto his helmet, and since ghosts are seen as a horrifying, yet stealthy creature, it makes sense.
What do you guys think?

VICTORY IS MI.....shishka comes in and posts "It's actually a variant of SPI that was integrated with the mark V system" *eats own foot*[/quote]Wtf lol that was random but maybe it is a mix and some where down the line SPI turned into EVA and maybe this is the turning point from SPI to EVA. A little of both

No. They changed the look just a little but it's clearly EVA. As stated earlier EVA was out b4 the Mark VI so it fits canon. Sry but... /thread ...seriously [/quote] How am I trolling?

The guy was just stating that's how we knew it was Mark V. The big backpack looking thing is the battery pack for the shields. It's fully integrated with the entire suit. Look at Emile's chest plate under all those bullets and shells and grenades. It's the same as everybody elses (Minus Jorge). That being said would he want just his helmet to go camo and be unshielded while his body is shielded and visible? Agreed he should have a CQB helmet on if that's his specialty but then he couldn't have a sweet looking skull on it lol[/quote] I conceed your point, it's not SPI armor.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Zig i think its EVA...[/quote] Thats what most say. But if you look at this image [url=http://www.bungie.net/images/Games/Reach/images/concept_art/ReachConcept_EmileHelmet.jpg]of concept art[/url] you notice its different than EVA. To me it looks more like the [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/4/46/SpartanIII.jpg]SPI armor[/url]. If its neither, than I don't care, its still badass. These armor perms are pretty badass. I like all of em, compared to the few I liked from Halo 3.

EVA.... The only reason the skull is on it is because he carved it into the visor.

I'm excited to see how Bungie describes the various armor for Reach.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] P H0P Nice find[/quote]It is even more plausible because we do not know who is more stealthy, Kat or Emile.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darkjigglypuff [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cpt Trotta214 I can see at what you're saying, but it looks like he is wearing E.V.A. armor, not S.P.I. If you look in at Pics of him, you can see there is no curve in his helmet, like there is in the S.P.I. variant of armor. With that being said, Emile, is either wearing E.V.A., or a messed up version of S.P.I.[/quote] I think that it's either a new variant, are an artist interpretation in Ghosts of Onyx to Reach.[/quote]O_O I never thought of that. But I still think its E.V.A., only because of that curve that isn't in his helmet.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GeorgeBaggy There's no point in arguing that it's SPI, it's been confirmed to be EVA. and yes EVA existed even as a mark IV model (watch "The Package"). I have no idea why emile (who is a guy) picked EVA, maybe he just thought it looked cool or wanted the larger visor for better visibility.[/quote] Can you post a source to the exact confirmation of it being EVA? And the latter would only hold true if ONI doesn't assign armor (and scratching a skull onto your visor doesn't help much with visibility).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Firecrotch979 Emile is a guy, and he is wearing EVA. Nice try though.[/quote] I never said he was a girl. And I've supported how what he mights be wearing is a variant of SPI.
