I still love the fact that Halsey could tell her Spartans apart from each other. Such a cool detail. Thanks for the lore as always Inny!

10 things ONI didn't want you to know. It would be cool to get an overview of the underhanded things humanity did to their own people and other races outside of the spartan program. The incident on the Mona Lisa was an event that has always stuck with me in the lore.

I never knew the original Spartans looked identical, that’s so cool. The thought of the covenant killing a guy and thinking he came back to life is dope

As much as I like the armour variants we have in the games something about every spartan looking the same feels right to me. The fact that minor personality traits help the Spartans tell each other apart is very interesting to me.

Fun fact: Mjolnir gives only a 4-inch boost in height, not every Spartan-II was 7 feet tall.

Yes, yes, we all know about the fact that Chief's armor jacks him off.

The 10th fact, for the covenant, it was like the pro enemy player who keeps re-spawning next to you and hunt you down lol. What a nightmare

To things you didn't know about the sanghelli? To be honest it would be pretty cool to figure out what the elites do in their free time!

I know one other instance of a Spartan using their armor's self-destruct function. Anyone else remember Haloid?

I’ve heard on many occasions that a Mjolnir suit costs as much as a destroyer, not small starship. So if you can figure out relatively how much a unsc destroyer class ship costs, then you could guesstimate how much a suit costs

“Do you know how expensive this gear is, son?” “One small starship.”

10 things about spartan 3's pls? They are my favorite Spartan generation

I continue to appreciate the manner in which you title your videos. Sincerely yours, a man who knows everything.

I thought that the speed increase didn't affect their body nearly as much as their mind? So outside of armor their bodies were "lagging" which is part of the reason why they liked being in armor so much.

In the book Halo: Last Light, Fred used the self destruct function you mentioned to destroy his Mjolnir after it was shut down by the Forerunner AI Intrepid Eye with him still inside of it. Kelly used a toolkit of small needle like tools to manually remove the AI chip from his neural implant and then release his armor pieces and gel suit. Unable to fix it in the field to continue using it and unable to carry it during their hurried extraction they were forced to abandon it and set it to self destruct.

Mjolnir using the Spartan's digestive waste as fuel is very similar to some concepts I've come up with in my own armour platforms, although for my most recent one it was actually recycled as reserve propellant for moving in micro- and zero-gravity since it used an S2 Engine. It also used two waste bags running down both thighs that breaks the material down rather than an enema, but regarding Mjolnir it actually makes sense and would mean the suit can effectively operate so long as the Spartan keeps eating.

I just watched Iron Man 2 again last night and didn't even realize until watching this video how many similarities exist between the two suits. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see someone with knowledge of the Multiverse delving into this comparison.

I use play halo years ago in my early 20s, brought halo 4, 5 and infinite for my younger brother, haven't played them myself, but I love the lore, keep up the good work, I sit in my 30 ton digger listening to yr great videos most days. Cheers Jake 🙂👍👍

Lmao imagine encountering an enemy so hard to kill that you have to retreat to orbit and basically do an overkill bombings from orbit. And you meet that enemy again the next day on your ship. Brick shitting experience that would be.

I thought they had said the armor was the same price as a destroyer? Although it has been years since I read the novels.

A Mark IV-esque armor core in Halo Infinite would be nice

We found a lot of dead mk4 Spartans in Infinite but none of them exploded like they should have.

I was surprised with the part that there were rigs with a fission powerplant. With stuff like artificial gravity systems being turned into a children's toy, fusion would have ultimately supplanted fission, with it being seen as a caveman's battery.

Spartan 4s in Infinite are like the red shirts in Star Trek.

I watch your videos to sleep sometimes, and believe it or not that’s a compliment. When I’m not too sleepy your content is super interesting and all, but at the same time your voice is so calm and soothing and also probably something about the accent makes it very soporific when I want it to. But again, only when I want it to.

Master Chief: *Dips his toe in a puddle* Mjolnir: *OceanGate sub*

Spartans have 7ms reaction time, that's some good ping

So Isaac Hannaford is the Halsey of real life for bringing back the old style after not being there for 4 and 5? Nice

my thought for the solid fecal waste has always been along the lines of a colostomy bag, hidden somewhere within the structure of the suit. pop open a small panel, retrieve the bag for disposal, insert a new bag, voila. and this makes even more sense considering you've explained the nature of how efficient the spartans' guts are, which essentially minimizes and concentrates the contents of the bags. this would allow for quite long periods between bag changes.

" do you have any idea how expensive this gear is son?"-Master Guns

I miss every MJOLNIR looking the same. The numbers (braille for some reason in GEN2?) on the chest always vexed me. Just straight-up placing a bullseye on 'The Demon' for the Covenant. Asinine.

'10 Facts about the Sangheili you might not know' would be cool.

LOL "point of frustration that though they looked the same halsey could tell them apart by how they walked."That's what happens when the closest thing you have to a mom is around

As far as I know the Spartans did wear mostly the same armor and as time went on they started more often wearing unique armor and started using more numbers and other identifiers.

Always love your videos the amount of technical data that you add is what always gets me coming back for more!!

Do you plan on doing most detailed videos on less popular UNSC ships like the Halberd class and the various carriers?

I would think that in terms of waste disposal and nutrient intake that Spartans themselves dont actually do any of that while in mjolnir. Id think it'd be more efficient for mjolnir to feed spartans intravenously thus minimizing any waste products. Maybe it even includes a sort of dialysis function.

Always love the content. I love how informative and calming it is. It’s very direct yet keeps me engaged throughout the video. Keep up the good work.

How about the top 10 Spartan Augmentations we could (theoretically) preform today, or are relatively close to being able to preform.

Something slightly humorous I'd like to see in lore that is a limitation to armor like this. I lost an eyelash while stuck in a gas mask. That tiny annoyance really sucked and would have significantly reduced combat effectiveness as I 1 was distracted and 2 had a significant reduction in vision in my dominant eye.

The suit converts poop into bullets which is why master chief never runs out of ammo. Different types of food produce different ammunition Mexican makes explosive rounds and grenades

of course halsey could tell who is who just by the way they walk while covered in mjolnir amor, that woman is a forerunner disguised as human.

I no longer want to be a spartan after the urethra part

I thought it was quoted that it cost the same as a unsc destroyer?

I can’t even imagine how fast that reaction timing really is 😮‍💨

10 things about ONI (you didn’t hear this suggestion from me)

it wouldn't have surprised me if ONI had some kind of remote self destruct built into early MOJLNIR so there would be no traitor spartans

How about soon 10 facts about the Covenant? Just a thought

Another reason I seem to remember the covenant calling Mister Beef “Demon” is because of the blank faceplate of the Spartan helmet

10 Things About Covenant & Human Planets

Would still love to see a 10 Spartan III or Headhunters facts

The Arbiter. Or how about the Humans vs the Forerunners? And what did Dr Halsey know about them when creating the Spartans?

I had no idea Spartans had better digestive systems compared to normal people. As someone who has been working out for the past 2 years, I’m quite jealous that my body can’t pull as much nutrients from the food that I eat as a Spartan can 😔

I knew almost everything Because I've watched your videos for years 😂🎉

Great vid! Miss the halo wars 2 menu music on the intro tho :)

Bros duel wielding the plasma pistols at the end 😂

The armor plugs into you in many areas... Suddenly I'm not so sure I wanna be a spartan anymore

Hahaha, the little dig at getting Chief's feet wet at the end... priceless! 😂

I had no idea there were mechs in the halo universe. If that got put into a game, I'd consider buying it.

I know Haloid (created by montyoum rest in peace) isn't canon but I think that's the only time I seen on video a Spartan using their fail safe.

3:52 after seeing this as a kid I never wanted to be a spartan again didn’t help I also just seen some of those crazy bone break videos that were a little popular on yt back then

Okay, so here is what I don't understand. The armor has a self-destruct feature in case of emergency, such as the death of the occupant or possible tampering. Why, in Rubicon protocol and infinite, this armor systems didn't activate? AI and data were able to be retrieved from fallen Spartans along with gear and sensitive equipment.

It would be awesome to see a mission revolving around something like an underwater covenant base or forerunner structure, maybe like Soma but with the flood you it would be a nice way to introduce different enemy types or other fun mechanics

Of course I knew all of them I did a most detailed course on MJOLNIR Armor well except the enema and the reaction time. Cheers

I have a question for a potential video topic : Which Mjolnir variant is the strongest in regards to armor durability / protection, shield strength and how much the armor boost the users combat effectiveness and overall performance?

Awesome

Not sure if youll see this, but didnt fred also set his armour to selfdestruct in Last Light? After Interpid Eye compromised his suit, Blue team had to extract him from his suit then they used it to destroy Gao Wyverns.

When I think of predecessors to the MJOLNIR I think the prototype suit from GHOST.

you deserve moar subs

A single suit of armor may cost as much as a starship, but the development may have cost the equivalent of a trillion dollars in todays money

I’m not sure if there’s enough information to make a serious comparison, but I’d love to see a head to head of Mjolnir and the Martian/Laconian powered armor from the Expanse series. I assume the Spartans would be superior considering the meaty portion of the equation is a lot more advanced, but still.

I've always wanted someone to make a video on the Halo 5 Atlas armor, my fav armor from H5, it was described as being a spartan equivalent of a main battle tank once it has its upgrade modules

Can you do a "10 Facts about Spartan-IIIs you might not know" and address the misconceptions that IIIs are weaker then IIs?

Please cover the primordials next😮

The armor possibly/most likely recycling and ridding of human waste is very interesting I must say.

have you done a video on other armor projects the unsc used besides mjolnir?

Its a shame we never got to see sarge in his orion armour, would have been sick

Best facts are the one with Halsey and the Covenant when it comes to differentiating Spartan 2s. This whole Demon myth even grows with the inclusion of the varied Spartan 3s look and onward while MC retained his original green armour. I think the only time the myth will be changed is if The Covenant encounters the Red Team and survive to live the tale (since they would've encountered the Spartan squad at the same time compared to MC who went solo for awhile).

In halo 3 we got a change to swim. In halo 4 the converant was calling fireteam crimson demon.

14:50 i thought Fred blew his pack on Gao, but the team just dropped a nuke on it.

No1: the AutoJacker

Could you please make a video 10 things about the ODSTs

19:09 I always took it that they (the Covenant) faced other Spartans, but HE was The Demon because he couldn’t be beaten. Then again, I think in Ghosts of Onyx the elite called Kurt a demon, so idk.

Spartans never die, they're just missing in action

Fighting with a catheter must be an experience...

Watching Halo season 2 episode 6 seeing the Spartan III’s and remembering Cortana take over Chief in the season 1 finale got me to thinking could Humanity have instead have made squads of heavy duty spartan like Droids in teams of 5-10 squads that with specially made A.I. would link up with all suits and go into battle. Regarding S2 E6 watching the Spartan III’s glide through space landing on the ship I feel AI could have controlled them to move and not get killed. Also I feel AI controlled swarms of small ships would be great against Covenant ships

I wonder which variant of the elite armor was used to backwards reengineer to help with production of the power pack and shields.

5:03 my recollection is that this is detailed in one of the nylund books as costing the same an actual frigate Also an idea for a video would be 10 Discrepancies between book and game lore

10 things we didn’t know about UNSC early colonization efforts

I thank you for consistently going in depth and vocalizing (as well as visualizing with video) the intent, science, perspectives and perceptions within each and every subject you expand on. This is my first comment here. In response to your request; as Installation00, providing an accurate and precise chronological linear (“3D”) implementation(s) & function(s) of each & every mjolnir ; in one video and/or podcast. Please, & thank you. ˆ 0:12+

where’s all the music from? it sounds great

It's possible that the suit electrolyzes the filtered water so that it can use the Hydrogen for its fusion power pack and the Oxygen to replenish its emergency reserves. Even in lockdown mode surely it couldn't carry 6 months' worth of Oxygen in its onboard tanks. Not to mention fuel for the thrusters, which I don't think could propel a Spartan just by using vented gas

🤯never knew the reason Master Chief was referred to as 'Demon' until now.

I remember reading somewhere that Mjolnir costs as much as a UNSC Destroyer class ship One of the original books say this Though I can’t quite remember fully

I recall the price tag of Mj is around a destroyer star ship, slip drive included

Fred overloaded his fusion reactor in one of the books too.

As far as the "going number 2" debate. I'm of the mindset that they rarely defecate to begin with. Their digestive systems absorb almost everything they eat, and if there is something left over, it would probably be very small and look like rabbit droppings. However that is STILL waste. I imagine their rectum has probably been modified with some sort of quick connection device, that allows for easy connection to MJOLNIR, but also allows normal body functions when out of it. (Think Spartan Neural Interface but for your butthole). So if there *are* droppings, they are immediately vaporized as they exit your body and then the suit either stores the gas for some form of energy, or just expels the gas through a discharge port. TLDR: Spartans poop little rabbit pellets every few days that are instantly vaporized by the suit, turned into a gas, and then released as a big Spartan fart.

The helmet on the early Mark IV prototype reminds me of the GM Sniper II’s head from Gundam 0080

? There are a couple instances in-game when you are allowed to navigate underwater... the pelican down scene on Sierra 117 springs to mind.

@Installation00 where do Spartan keep their spare ammunition that don't have pouches?
