UNSC Engineers : How much tech can we stuff into the new MJOLNIR suits?
UNSC Command: Yes
1/10: it doesn't have cup holders
That's why I wear Gen. I
It's funny you should mention that, because the Mk. V could almost certainly fit a case of Spartan-strength space beer in all those ammo pouches.
Declassified: ONI File #(Redacted): MJOLNIR MARK-VI Helmet contains a direct feed beverage system drawing from a reservoir located under the back armor plating. Reservoir contains up to 3 separate chambers. Chambers are filled with the Spartan's choice of available options. Aside from electrolyte rehydration beverages, most frequently selected are meal replacements #(redacted) and #(redacted) chocolate and strawberry flavor, respectively. ONI is aware of rumors among general UNSC personnel regarding Spartan consumption habits. Rumors include but are not limited to the drinking of: whiskey, rum, vodka, beer, and other beverages banned during combat operations. The most extreme rumor recorded was the drinking of the blood of slain elites. These rumors are permitted and some are generated by ONI to boost morale, increase enemy disinformation and encourage the reported "aura of awesome" purportedly surrounding every Spartan, as said by one particularly poetic marine.
Brady Kirk where that in the books? Also I can see chief getting plastered on a mission now
@@Wtfgladiator That's my original writing, my small contribution to Halo.
Now imagine master Chief accidentally steps on your foot..
Lego brick: so we are evenly matched >:)
Lego " finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary"
ouch
Gotta thr9w away the whole lower leg now.
A half ton of metal with force multiplier circuits and a super soldier foot that has ceramic plated bones, you no longer have a foot
I love all the work that goes into Halo lore, most sci-fi series just say it works because it's the future
Halo and the StarWars expanded universe are the two best sources Sci-Fi lore in my opinion.
@@temporary_error_3264 Don't forget 40k
B. A - Oh absolutely! How could I forget?!
NaNoBoTs
Totally, you have to appreciate the care the people who made this series have for their work
My goodness, I've been wondering what the little blue lights were for for so long!!! Thank you for informing me that they're shield emitters!
The suit has air for 90 minutes unless it has been retconned.
No, but it probably got extended in gen 2 and 3. Chief was also knocked out in Infinite trailer.
Elijah Watson yeah he was knocked out but the suit probably read that and managed his air supply
@@elijahwatson3474 plot twist: the chief likes sleeping in space and his tether broke.
The books, vs cannon, vs reality make gauging the strength of an energy shield so difficult. 15MJ= 15,000,000J. The 7.62x51 projectile fired from the MA5 variant assault rifles produces 3,560J. That means in this context(if I'm not mistaken) it would take 4,213 rounds from the MA5 to deplete the shield. I would cite Fall of Reach, but that would only reference the MkV, but why not: The shield on the Mk5 flickered a "hairbreadth" when 3 rounds of 7.62 hit the shield. Later on it says his shield dropped to half after taking hits from a "smattering of 50mm rounds". Well, it was a bit hard to find, but I found the weight and velocity of some 50mm round(the 50x330mm), and it comes to 819,200J. Lets call "three" a smattering of rounds. That is 2.4MJ to drop the shields to half, which, if I am correct, the MkV Shield should be rated at around 5MJ, or 1,400 rounds from an MA5, but three was a hairsbreadth? Is it logarithmic? Well, maybe, but then the three 50mm rounds would have killed him. Rated at 15MJ, getting hit with 5MJ, he would still have 10MJ left. The shield is not getting weaker, the weaker it gets, ie the more hits it takes, at least not from what we have played, seen, or read. *sigh*, okay back to the video.
While I don't have enough expertise to even really be called an amateur in this field, I do recall a later video pertaining to this topic brining up how the sparking of a failed shield is, "the other projectors trying to reform the shield while the disabled projector(s) recharges and reengages," which indicates to me that the structure isn't a singular formation but a series of formations wherein if a single part fails it all fails whereas - though don't quote me on this, I'm starting to lose myself now - an overwhelming, enclosing force would apply to all parts of the shield and affect it as one; therefore, if you localise fire on one specific part, it should fail appropriately. At least, from how I see it.
Could just be the writers not knowing how strong the shields and weapons are in relation to each other. Can't really blame them all that much, it's not like you'd expect them to research the specific strength of a shield and a bullet when they're just trying to make a story so they more than likely got their numbers from the games.
I honestly think "50mm" is a typo and should be 50.cal. Afterall Covenant firearms don't display antitank levels of firepower even as they're a threat to Mjolnir.
@@malcolmsaint 50mm is five centimetres. That's a bit big for a round.
@@malcolmsaint it’s not a typo. The topic goes beyond just the games. What makes Covenant weapons so dangerous and effective is the fact that they are plasma. The high energy of the bolt makes quick work of the energy shields, and since heat is just energy, makes quick work of metallic, and organic materials. In essence, even a plasma pistol can be classified as an anti tank when compared against human small arms. As far as .50 cal is concerned, we see that caliber in the Warthog, and stationary turrets as 50bmg. The Magnum is also a .50 cal projectile, but uses an explosive round. The 50mm rounds from the book were from jet. Modern planes today use 20-25mm for fighters, and then you have the a-10 using the 30mm(mind you, there are MANY different 20-30mm rounds). So its not hard to imagine a jet 500 years in the future to sport a 50mm air-to-ground auto cannon.
I've always wanted these super detailed comprehensive breakdowns of Halo lore, it's what really makes me feel the world alive and glad to have found your channel!
Halo is criminally underrated in terms of lore with using grounded science. This type of depth puts it on par with Star Trek & 40K etc. Yet people see Halo as a random sci-fi shooter.
THIS WAS TECHNICALLY EXCELLENT
"...outside of operational capacity..."
Chief literally falls 2km in Halo 3 and from SPACE in Halo 4 and gets up like nothing happened.
Well, we don't know the exact state of the Mark VI's systems (or Chief's physical health) after those incidents, there isn't much dialogue about it. At the beginning of Halo 2 the Master GySgt mentions to him a hint at the state of MJOLNIR's systems after his two days' time on the first Halo ring: "The plating was about to fail, there's viscosity throughout the gel layer. Optics, totally fried. And let's not even talk about the power supply." MJOLNIR is definitely tough as an overall combat system, but I'm sure the suits' subsystems were compromised in some way not expounded upon. We know that Fred's terminal velocity free-fall in Halo: First Strike killed 4 Spartan IIs in MJOLNIR Mark V, immobilized one, and gave several others broken bones and contusions. Fred himself survived with a blown hydrostatic gel seal and damaged shield generators.
@@BattlesuitExcalibur 1. Operation First Strike came between Halo: CE and Halo 2 during which Chief was still wearing Mk. V
2. Gunny was commenting on Chief's Mk. V, not his new Mk. VI
3. Mk. VI is more durable than Mk. V as it has triply redundant repair subsystems and better shields.
4. Chief got up from both incidents and continued fighting, seemingly unhindered at that.
What I'm saying is that if this were out of operational capacity for the Mk. VI Chief would be dead or severely incapacitated. Permanently.
@@angus57720 I wasn't contesting any of that....
However in response to number 4, there is no "fighting seemingly unhindered". It is simply not mentioned or expounded upon in any way. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Realistically the Chief perhaps got lucky and landed under circumstances that happened to not completely obliterate the suit. People have survived falling at terminal velocity under very special circumstances, such as falling on snow or in a certain posture that spread the impact forces, reducing them to nonlethal levels.
There is no possible way that the designers could have anticipated every possible scenario the suit would find itself in, that is not only an unreasonable expectation of the engineers, the suit would probably haave ended up looking like a fucking ODST drop pod if it was designed to survive atmospheric insertion.
@@BattlesuitExcalibur I'll admit, you have me there. Apologies if I came off as stand-offish.
@@angus57720 John was more tired than any human being can possibly be and fought normally in the 1st part of first strike up until he fought the elite in hand to hand where his fatigue finally showed. Kelly was fighting with a collapsed lung and bruised liver like it was normal. Im sure chief and other spartans do crazy shit like that all the time because of adrenaline.
Hidden Xperia pointed me in your channel direction, loving all your videos so far, subbed and part of the notification squad, your like a halo version of vatti videa, keep up the great work, you got my support.
Installation 00 also has my support. I came via Eckartsladder though.
You'd make a brilliant *bio/metallurgical/mechanical/other type engineer (*assuming you aren't one of these already). Another shout out for Eck for showing us this channel. Such an awesome time sink.
I think he does have credentials similar to that.
He is an electrical engineer,if I remember correctly.
@@ninepuchar1 as far as I’m concerned he works for the unsc
It always impressed me how plausible some of the stuff put in this series.
Saw how you Eck worked together and found your channel and loving the detail you go into
There are so many features and capabilities in the suit and yet it has such a low profile. The Bungie version at least looks almost like it's just football pads-thick. The 343 versions are a lot thicker, but I still wonder how they pack all of that stuff into that suit. Especially into the skin-suit.
Wish I knew about this channel a year ago, found out about you through eck, saw your vid on his channel and subscribed instantly, this stuff is great
I remember the first time I came across this place. This video. You’ve come a long way since this. Proud o you 💙
Your content, attention to detail and passion is dam near a religious experience for me.. best Halo content out hands down. Thank you.
less protective than mark 5 but better everywhere else seems like a nice upgrade.
This was great dawg, hope this gets more views in the future
Thank you for being the very first comment on any of my videos on UA-cam. Much Love,
00
So so proud of you and your channel’s growth. Your art is timeless I’m just happy to see your journey blossom to great heights.
“The outer layer is advanced titanium you won’t even dent it.”
paramount Halo
Proven ineffective against jackal snipers.
My question is this: how does the Chief's armor change appearance so radically during the time between Halo 3 and Halo 4? As far as I'm concerned the "nanites" excuse given by 343i is a load of bunk. Cortana mentions that she rewrote/upgraded the suit's firmware while the Chief was on ice, but firmware is permanent software programmed into a read-only memory, rewriting a software package wouldn't change the external plating. I honestly prefer the "classic" Mark IV from Halo 2 and 3, in my subjective opinion the Halo 4 suit looks just plain bad, almost like it was cobbled together from spare parts.
If you take 343i and their Explanation as canon, then it was upgraded with nanomachines. Chiefs Mark-VI featured testbed prototypes of innovations meant for the Mark-VII.
The nanomachines would have been programmed by Cortana to breakdown non essential or tertiary components of his suit and reassemble the resources into the new suit we see him wearing in Halo 4.
That explains why certain aspects of Chiefs suit is "missing" or seem like there are areas missing. His new suit IS cobbled together out of spare parts.
@@Installation00 Mm-hm, sure, I still think the classic Mark VI looks better, not to mention it just seems more practical overall.
@@TruePacifist201 absolutely agree. It is the more logical armor platform. But in the great scheme of things, what 343i say is canon, IS canon. If thats what they say happened, then thats what happened, no matter if we agree with it or not.
@@Installation00 Well, it's a good thing fanfiction exists then, isn't it? If Star Wars is anything to go by then canon is overrated.
I have now watched every last one of your videos. I love the channel
This video was so excellent I had to look at it two times the details of the breakdown and information perfect excellent fabulous wonderful job I appreciate the hard work you put into this video
15 megajoules seems a bit much for the shields considering that a sniper rifle round a 14.5 mm puts out 65000 joules and it takes a million joules to equal a megajoule that rounds out to about 231 sniper rifle rounds to drop the shields if they're using a similar 14 mm round as the ones we use today
Spartans are essentially immune to small arms fire up to .50 caliber and that's without the shields. Covenant plasma weapons are so ridiculously powerful that their close passing/near impacts cause 2-3rd degree burns, amputate limbs through armor and collapse the armor playing of MJOLNIR in 2-3 impacts. Guns harm you in gameplay because then it's no fun otherwise.
Also it's probably not it's absolute stopping power. I'd imagine a lot of that energy output is just maintaining the integrity of the field let alone also resisting kinetic and heat energy.
While it might have 15 Megajouls of power to drive the shields, the "deflection / absorption efficiency" of the shield in actual use might not be 100% so depending on the material composition of the round, velocity, and mass the shield might use a disproportionately large amount of energy for some weapons
playing perchance to dream while he speaks in his videos fits
so well
Thank you again!!! I really really hope 343 uses this detailed breakdown to improve what they have.
Not making light of your channel (I love your channel) but to quote astronaut John Glenn "how do you go to the bathroom in this thing!"
Robert Maddox the suit can purify urine. So I’m guessing it has a space diaper if sorts
".... just like that."
21:56
Found your channel some time ago with the Mark VII and forgot to subscribe then, but thanks to Eckhart, found your channel again! Super detailed vids about Spartans that pretty much, in my opinion, needs to become required viewing material for ALL new 343 employees, not to mention added to the Halo canon! Keep it up!
The ending is quite good
Still enjoy these breakdown videos. Awesome work. Hope you do a full breakdown of Gen3 when more info is released.
20:36 chiefs face on the data pad
Great work and thank you 🙏
If only I had these breakdowns for Star Wars as well I would be in heaven lol
Sadly Space Fantacy like Starwars can't be taken apart to the same degree as Halo because it departs much further from reality, using a lot more "rule of cool" instead of realistic physics and materials science.
Books showing cutaway of the tech and ships are cool but mostly demonstrate how far removed from real they are.
Halo isn't innocent of this either, but it does so far less, and takes ques from real technologies or near-future tech that can theoretically exist, it's not quite a full hard-scifi but it's close.
And then there it Star Trek, fun but uses almost as much space-magic as Starwars, and you'd never get me near a Anti-matter fueled warp drive or Transporter cause that's just a fast way to get atomized before you can say "oops"
Installation00 I'm curious about biofoam. If I remember correctly there has been attempts at using foam for medical purposes, but can't because of something to do with it spreading through a person's blood vessels. Shouldn't biofoam have the same problems?
The fact they are using it commonly in halo would imply they found a method to use it without the current downsides
Yea that makes sense. Though I heavily doubt that there are NO downsides at all, other than the fact that it will degrade after a few hours of course.
Your channel is amazing!! I love it and I will become one of your Patron members. Can you please do a segment on Spartan Locke's armor? His armor seems to be unique among Mjolnir armor.
But how does he go to the bathroom... Lol fantastic job man. Very happy I found your channel
On the field, Spartans eat energy bars, which are fully absorbed into the bloodstream, thus no solid waste. As stated, the urine is collected and recycled into drinking water.
I thought I loved halo before I found your channel. You have made me love something I honestly didn't think I could love any more! Thank you for all of your hard work! Been binging your videos for a few days now :P! Also, this maybe difficult to answer but how much do you think chiefs armour costs in universe?
VeRy ReSiLiEnT
In Halo 2 Legendary difficulty: "HA, MY ASS!"
Those shields are paper in any difficulty and yet “rEsiLIeNt”
Id absolutely love to be augmented as a SPARTAN II.The strength and speed, and other abilities. So cool.
It's funny that our shields are based on jackal shield guards, no wonder our shits so strong. I remember reading that and going, "yeah that checks out."
love you content
Where did the footage of Maria doing reentry come from? Or for that matter much of the footage when discussing the thruster pack?
Love to know about mjolnir Anubis Variant
Awesome
Love it
I hate to be a bother. but i am looking for the resource that states that the Spartan's Energy shields are technically more efficient and thus more superior to their Sanghelli counterparts. I tried to search on the wiki but found it lacked that information anywhere.
I remember that the reason was because the jackal gauntlet and the sanghelli shield emitters work on different principles and the reason the UNSC is more efficient is because it uses less energy due to being styled after the jackal gauntlet's more refined emitter tech. or something like that.
I just can't seem to find where i read that while elite shields can take more hits. its because they are pouring far more energy into the field and wanna have a primary source for it.
Wait, since Mjolnir can only be removed with specialist tools, how would a Spartan (for lack of a better word) bail from their suit if it took enough damage/wear and tear that continued wearing of it would hinder the mission like if they needed to go into a body of water but there was an irreparable hole that compromised the airtight nature of the suit.
I think at a pinch a SPARTAN II would be strong enough to take off the suit's components. Maybe. Interesting question.
Given the kind of conditions required to make Mjolnir Mark VI fail, it's likely the Spartan is not in any condition to fight in most instances anyway, so they would either be moved by allied Spartans, or set to Failsafe-Self-Destruct to prevent capture of the tech therein
More than likely if a Spartan’s suit is compromised and/or inoperable they are essentially just dead. It’s a coffin that can only be taken off at home
When a Spartan is about to die and needs to follow Cole Protocol they simply meltdown their fusion reactor and blow up.
I know that this was done three years ago but do you by chance have a text document with all of this information in it?
So that’s what those little lights all over the armor are for
It sure would be nice if Showtime used this UA-camr for any possible narration in the Halo series.
Cool video, but you should've done separate videos for the standard mk 6 and the "upgraded" suit cuz it's kinda confusing which has what features. Like does the original version also have thrusters?
@installation00.... you say the suit can only have 45min of sealed air.. in many of the novels it is mentioned that mjolnir has a 90min air supply when sealed.
The music for the 1st 2 mins. What halo soundtrack does it come from?
Imagine the FPS Master Chief can get on that visor LOL 600 frames per second gaming all day! 🤣 I wonder if Cortana is able to see Master Chiefs thoughts when she's got her back towards him and he's looking at her ass 🤪🤣
No please don’t use the 343 designs, they look like power ranger suits. I wanna see the big badass OG MKVI
What are you talking about? The new design is clearly superior to the old one. The old one feels plasticky and out-of-touch, doesn't really give the vibes of military hardware.
Halo 4 mark VI looks cooler in my opinion
Mk IV, Mk V, and MK VI are, as far as I'm concerned, the visual and Performance benchmarks by which all other Power Armor systems are judged, and many are found wanting
Background music is a bit load in some instances can nearly here the narrator
Could you do the Marine armor
i don't know if this is mentioned in one of the other breakdowns. but the suit does have waste recycling right? or at the least something to prevent the spartan from pissing themself right?
21:56
But how does he use the restroom?
I believe that there's a filtration system
How do drones/buggers deploy?
If the shield provides full body coverage how does it allow for air intake?
7:20 anyone know the OST? That's the one I always had a hard time finding or refinding.
RaginDXDemon it's from the original combat evolved soundtrack. Forget the track name but it's there.
Why is this so quiet? i can't hear what he's saying half the time.
Seems fine for me. Perhaps it's your speakers?
Master Chief vs the Avengers. I believe, Captain America might be able to put up a decent fight, or at least survive for a couple minutes, against Chief when he is not in his armor. But, when he is in armor, Chief would crush his head inside out with one punch. No contest at all. The only people who could beat Chief would be Hulk and Thor. Everyone else is just like paper trying to fight a hurricane. Im just talking about main avengers. Idk about Scarlett Witch or Vision. Scarlett Witch is pretty insane but she is a glass cannon. Vision also has an exploitable weakness which I believe Cortana could help Chief with so he could get the W. Thanos could also beat Chief. Chief is a badass, but he isnt quite that badass lol. Anyone else would most likely lose, unless Black Panther could make some insane vibranium armor and a badass vibranium weapon that is capable of penetrating Chiefs armor and shield and if he is fast enough to even get a hit on Chief he "might" have a chance. I just cant honestly say that anyone else would survive a fight with Master Chief. Talking about MCU btw. If you know someone who could take Chief out, let me know.
Us army: *Taking notes*
Can’t wait for the CIA to kidnap 6 year olds and turn them Into super soldiers
Please god Elon well all want you to pool some billionaires together and just try to make this Godamn suit.
you litterally uploaded the same video for each of the armor breakdowns
Can anyone tell me what music he's using at 1:41 I think this is Halo 1 it has the mystery vibe going on.
What music are you using around 1:00?
Darude Sandstorm
Crystalline structures have cleavage which are weak points especially on a hard material like that if anything hits with significant enough Force along the axis of the cleavage it'll split the plate right in half
I thought the mark 5’s energy shields were rated at 15 megajoules.
What is that song in the intro up to ~2:10?
Offset - Clout
Mk 7 gen 1 has mk 5 b base change my mind
8:43
thicc AF
THICC
Why does the reactor thing need to be radiation proof? Fission cause radiation not fusion...will radiation damage the micro fusion reactor?
So does anyone know how long master chief was floating in space waiting for rescue at the end of Halo 4? Based on the specs it couldnt have been over 45 mins right? What about with Halo Infinites trailer, couldnt have been that long right?
Well apparently the Gen 3 armor from the trailer can put its user into emergency stasis, so maybe the new armor can preserve its user for much longer than the rebreathers allow (which I think is ninety minutes).
Where did the 15 megajoule figure come from?
I get a feeling 14.9 of that is just maintaining full shield capacity
The amount of redundant information in this video from the mk 4 and 5 video made my brain turn off
My headcanon is that Chief wore the Mjolnir shown on 4:40 rather than the one shown in H2A cutscenes and then Cortana rewrote the suit to the iteration of Halo 4.
how does a spartan evacuate the bladder and bowels?
Yeah how?
Liquid nutrition to avoid solid waste, and liquid recycling systems to deal with the liquid waste
Music was too loud, difficult to hear you
Why does the mark 6 armor change when it comes to halo 4-5
Might be worth watching another one of my videos about Chiefs armor called Master Chiefs Mark-VII. Link is below.
ua-cam.com/video/4tEGDSxix5I/v-deo.html
Nanomachines, son
at reaction speeds as high as that master chief can't really change his mind can he. if he decides to kill someone infront of him by the time he decides not to the person infront of him that person would've been killed multiple times
time to binge the channel from the verying beginning
Remember, the chip in his head reads his toughts before they can even be fully developed, so if he does decide not to, the suit might just stop his movement, barely scraping said person.
@@theyoboygamer3754 where is that stated?how can a chip read something that isn't there to begin with. sure one could say it can guess based on past actions and preferences like dodge/escape without thinking basically mind muscle connection. but I'd like to think the killing of someone would require more thought then a dodge reflex
If im correct, apparently neurons in your nevous system generate a tiny spike in energy. If I am right on this, the chip detects this, copies the pattern sent from the neuron, and instead of that signal going to the brain, it translates to the suit
That might be how
So where is mine?
Sign me up
oh that's why you keep saying torch its because you speak limey okay flashlight got it I've been soo confused.
Ever developed
Why you gotta show the chief vs Locke fight? Thats blasphemy sir! Locke should have instantly been marked, ain't no way a brand new spartan can overpower the experienced and virtually invincible chief, 343 just thought their version of chief was a suitable replacement which in itself is the worst blasphemy
The helmet is the least impressive thing no infrared ultraviolet nothing you would think they would give them better visual access
I fail to see the use of ultra-violet for a Spartan, and Infrared was given to the Gen-3 (and maybe 2?) helmets I'm pretty sure
I hate his 343 design
Halo 4s “mark vi” is a joke
Stolen covenant tech
The only problem with your videos that you need to speak a little louder.
Turn your volume up?
I love how the closed caption option says "white scum" and yet flawless pronounces everything to a t. UA-cam at it again with social engineering.
U wot
Been going back and listening to all of your videos while at work and i cannot thank you enough for allowing me to step away from my mental health crisis and into the halo universe on a daily basis. Ive been re-reading the books and binging halo infinite multiplayer non-stop and your in depth lore analysis and humour is just such a blessing, man. I know im leaving this comment on a 4 year old video but that should prove I've been absolutely devouring your back catalogue lmao. Never stop what you're doing. You make the pain of being alive not so bad. At ease, Spartan. 🫡
