[/quote] No. Pilot doesn't look like SPI [i]at all[/i] I know a lot of people say so, because Bungie has said in the past that they created Pilot to resemble SPI, but when you compare SPI to what we have in the Armory the EVA helmet is the closest you get to it. Let me show you [url=http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/1015/spicomparison.png]in this compilation picture[/url] Sure: EVA is a bit too domed and looks different on the details. But the Pilot helmet has almost nothing in common. As a matter of fact: the only time Pilot somewhat resembles the SPI helmet, is from the front. The images from the SPI helmet all come from official canon, and the only real changes between the first impressions of SPI and the one shown in Headhunters for instance, is the fact that the original design had some sort of dents on the top of the visor, where it touches the helmet. In the newer designs, there is a little piece of helmet going of the visor. EVA also has that. You can also see the bottomline of the visor turns upwards diagonally. Again: EVA has that too. SPI has some details at the sides of the chin: EVA too. SPI is just a bit more bulbuous as the backside of the helmet, and its visor has some awkward edges on it, otherwise its almost exactly like EVA. Now lets compare it to Pilot. Pilot is too closed off for starters. Not enough visor surface compared to SPI. Where visor and helmet touch, the shape of the helmet is completely different. Pilot even has a black layer over the visor at the bottom, which SPI doesn't have. As for the chestpiece: I know there are a few options. The UA/Counterassault is the best one in my opinion as it covers the entire torso down to the groin in a sort of straight line (when looking at it from the side). This somewhat gives an impression of a bulletproof vest: SPI also has that in a way. Problem here is there is really no chestpiece that comes really close to the "real deal", still: Counterassault is the best option.

The Pilot helmet is the closest to the SPI that we have in the Armory. It even mentions the similarity to the SPI helmet in the description.

ODST shoulders for the red guy

VANITY stuff; [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/rolandn.png/]Roland[/url] [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/jonah.png/]Jonah[/url]

Someone with the vanity or atleast the rank of brigadier should upload a picture of what they think the armor is like.

If you're going for the pair as they were depicted in the motion comic (as opposed to their depiction on the cover of the book), I'd go with this: Jonah Helmet: EVA (or maybe even Pilot) Chest: UA/Counterassault Shoulders: UA/Base Security, UA/Multi-Threat, or ODST Wrist: Bracer Knees: Air Assault Visor: Gold Primary Color: Sage Secondary Color: Sage or white (the reason why I'd put sage is because I don't like the fact that in Halo: Reach, your secondary color covers your entire lower leg.) Roland Helmet: Either Air Assault or Mark V[B] are the best fit, in my opinion. Chest: HP/HALO Shoulders: Mark V Wrist: Bracer Knees: Air Assault Visor: Gold Primary Color: Maroon or brown Secondary Color: Maroon, brown, or white [Edited on 06.26.2011 7:58 AM PDT]

The SPI armor is something I've been wearing for ages now (and I think its sincerely the best way to recreate that armor in Reach), you just need the following set up: Helmet: EVA Chest: UA/Counterassault Shoulders: ODST Wrist: Bracer (shame its only on one side!) Knees: regular Visor: Gold. Just take a look at my profile to see how it looks. As for the red armor: no idea, haven't tried that one yet. [Edited on 06.26.2011 2:51 AM PDT]

Thanks dude and I just realized I made two threads, ugh lack of sleep!

I guess you could go with EVA and Air assault.

It's EVA and Kat's helmet(name slipped my mind).

Roland's helmet reminds me of Air Assault.

I know that much but that doesn't help me recreate the exact armor in Reach

They are wearing SPI armor. "Jonah wore green standard-issue SPI armor with a few modifications, including VISR" "Roland wore a primarily red-colored, unidentified variant of the SPI armor." Right from the Halopedia article... [Edited on 06.26.2011 12:48 AM PDT]
