Apparently, Master Chief Is Korean



 

The Korean army has released information regarding a new set of armor that its soldiers will soon be wearing out in the field, and it looks like something out of the game Halo.  Even the gun that they're going to be using looks like something found in the game.  I swear, I think the military designers must have played a lot of Halo when they were designing this costume.

 

Aside from looking like Spartan armor suits, the armor comes with some pretty swanky gadgets too.

 
The new new battle uniforms would provide protection against nuclear, biological, and chemical attacks, and would feature automatic temperature control. A new protective vest is also planned. In addition to keeping the lead out, the helmet will be prewired for minicam video transmission, GPS navigation, and assorted networking gear, the official said.

 

No word has been given yet on when the Covenant armada is expected to invade Korea, but it's good to know they're prepared for the event when it does happen.  Man, why can't our army soldiers look this cool?  I bet you enlistment rates would go up if you had commercials with guys in Spartan-ish outfits like this fighting in scenes that were reminiscent from popular video games.  You could turn joining the army into videogame geek wish fulfillment.
