I may seem a bit self centered in this, but I'm going to make a quick comparison to this and the SPARTANs of the UAC. Not to offend you, but just to show that certain ideas may not be as good as you think.

The idea of the exosuits seems interesting, but the thing is that it will take time to research, and costs are insane (Mark V MJOLNIR armor for each SPARTAN costs as much as a UAC Battlegroup) meaning you can get stuff like recruits, but the actual armor will take time.

Something I have also noticed is your exo suits seem a bit.. bulky for the user. Sure better protection, but its gonna be a bit hard to move around in them. SPARTAN armor is much more with the body, allowing better movement around it. Ghosts also have this as well, as they are focused around stealth



Though a benefit with yours (I think) is that your program seems to lack the idea of augmentation procedures on the super soldiers, making it fairly easy to get recruits, and lower costs. Though this will mean its just a normal joe in a super suit. SPARTANs go under augmentations required for the suit to improve their combat abilities, and the Ghosts have a memory wipe and have information of battle tactics crammed into them.

Now with your suit's attributes seem to be made for just plain full on assault, with just charging through the enemy, but there are some problems with that. You need to make your super soldiers more diverse, allowing them to fit any role in combat, Ghosts can easily go do different roles if needed, and SPARTANS are just set for other roles in combat as well.

The benefits of this will include you to basically attempt to demoralize your enemy's troops in battle, with their imposing state. It can also act as a propaganda tool if needed. Other attributes that are beneficial will include the heavy armor and weaponry, though bulky, will benefit them in a head on assault.

Overall, this seems like an interesting idea, but you will need a lot more funding and research for this to go through.
