HALO - UNSC ARMY REDESIGN

And Here We Are Folks!

UNSC Army redesign

These guys (that we see on Reach mainly) are assigned to ground combat operations, planetary defense or garrison duties.

And they are by far the best representation of soldiers in Halo in my opinion. In H Reach these guys actually carry equipment and look like soldiers in action rather than shiny armor for a parade.

My work here was not intended to distort their look but to make it more real and adaptable to different roles also using the DEFCON system that we know (characterizing it from 4-5 to 1) to give a motivation to the different equipment worn by the same soldier.

lv 4-5 : Normal Condition, Covenant not detected
lv 3 : Early Warning Condition, Covenant detected in adjacent planetary system
lv 2 : Red Alert Condition, Covenant detected in planetary system
lv 1 : Black Alert Condition, Covenant on planet

Their armor has been slightly modified from their original appearance.

The helmet is a modified version of the one from Halo Reach, trying to bring it closer to the original concepts and the helmets of the H3 marines.

The torso armor is composed of a tactical vest reinforced with internal titanium plates and an external reinforcement (also in titanium) on the chest. The lower part will be used for carrying magazines and equipment.

On the arms, the shoulder armor has been modified in shape to make the operator able to move more agile and the reinforcement for the forearms allows for the installation of palmtops and other useful objects.

The legs have remained more or less unchanged except for some small modifications to the reinforcement plates.

Everything can obviously be modified and customized based on the role of the soldier, in fact you can see different solutions and modifications to their armor based on this.

What do you think?
See you soon guys! Take care!
