Semi-Powered Infiltration armor, or “SPI” (typically pronounced S-P-I) as it’s more widely known, was introduced to us in the outstanding Eric Nylund-penned novel Halo: Ghosts of Onyx (one of my personal faves) as the primary armor loadout for the Spartan-IIIs. Some background context: the original SPARTAN-II program was designed to churn ...

This month, we’re going to take a look at the fan-favorite SPI armor, ahead of the Mirage armor core’s arrival in Season 3 of Halo Infinite. We’re also going to examine some of the context surrounding the fall of the UNSC Infinity at the start of Halo Infinite, along with the background of some of the special weapons wielded by high-value ...
