Talk:SPARTAN-S077

Uh, what exactly is 'SPARTAN II/Sigma'? It just seems like a bit of a transparent excuse to add a letter to your spartan tag. That and, why post 2553 would there need to be a new SPARTAN project? Its peace time. Now the one thing that always boils my blood with new spartans is people giving them garish and useless mixed/funny coloured armour. Basically you've set yours up so he has shoulders invisible to detection, a chest with improved k dispersal and a helmet with neither a energy shield or defensive power of a MJOLNIR helmet. Uhhh, here is a massive reason i compiled why.

"Another way to think of this is like this. Imagine you have three suits. Ones a diving suit, ones a EVA astronaught suit and one is knight armour. Now try and mix and match those. Lets see you go into space with only a astronaught's helemt, a diving suit and a shield. Or alternatly go to war with a astronaught suit, jet pack for space manouvres and a knights helmet. Or lets go scuba diving in full knights armour, scuba gear and a pipe to contact you to your shuttle. Maybe not the best analogy but you get the point. Why would a spartan go into combat with a unshielded, inferior ODST helmet, a katana, a unshielded chest piece, a shoulder pad extremely resistant to explosive and a shoulder pad that makes you stealthy. Another way to think of this is to think of each armour as a 'whole suit' rather thn just individual components. IE CQB is modified to improve k dispersal and joint manouvrability. Think that just extends to the shoulde pads, helmet and chest piece? Or the scout armour, filled with stealth gear, don't you think that those stealth materials would extend throguh the whole armour? Or, if you think mix and match should be canon, think of it in this way. why would you mix a shoulder piece that improves K dispersal, a helmet that aids you in EVA moves, a chest piece that resists explosives and a shoulder pad that improves stealth qualities. Now you've mixed and matched them, is that armour really going to be both stealth, space manouvrable, explosive resistant and has improved methods of K dispersal and joint manouvrability? Since you've mashed them all together you've lost the functions of all of them and made yourself a substandard piece of crap. Much akin to going into sapce with a astronaughts helmet, diving suit and bits and pieces of knight armour. Your going to die a horrible death. Horribly."

Yeah so basically, the armour mixing doesn't work.

And onto the colour. You don't find tanks that are randomly red. You don't find marines who are steel coloured. You don't find ODSTs who are brown with pink detailing. You don't find SPARTANs who aren't olive green, so why does this fella get the exception?
