The Halo 4 version of the armor does not look much like it’s predecessor, other than the helmet. It’s an homage to Jun, who recruited her into the Spartan IV program. It is for that reason above the Palmer chooses to wear Scout armor.Did you know that Spartan Jun from Noble team of Halo Reach wore a version of Scout armor?.Still, I’d take this armor over anything currently used in today’s militaries of the world. However, that really seems to leave the character exposed. I know 343 said that they reduced the profile of the armor to allow for more realistic movement in game. One thing I remain curious about is the lack of armor around the mid-section. These and others to follow that show the armor in orthogonal views give dimension to the art.

The helmet redesign reflects that of the one from Halo 3. Also known as Commander Sarah Palmer’s armor. Earlier we looked at equipment of Halo 4, no we look at just some of the concept art for multiplayer armor in Halo 4. This is the second of today’s two concept art articles.
