This examination of real-world efforts to create exoskeletons and power armor inspired by video game characters Master Chief and Doomslayer starts with the 1960s' Hardiman exoskeleton, designed for manual labor. Progressing through time, we encounter more refined exoskeletons like Raytheon's XOS 1 and 2, aimed at easing heavy loads. Troy Hurtubise's Trojan exoskeletal armor, featuring unique features like laser targeting, remains a conceptual idea. Projects TALOS and Legionnaire strive for military armor, but costs and technical issues pose challenges. Russia's Sotnik promises lightweight armor with potential bullet resistance. Amid modern warfare's logistical reality, the US 'Warrior' program seeks practical assistance for soldiers. As of 2023, it's a promising stride towards viable combat-enhancing technology, possibly countering adversaries like China.
