Because there was like 400 years of peace therefore not a lot of military funding

Isn't the MJOLNIR shield system, like the Covenant arsenal, based off of reverse-engineered Forerunner tech?
The Mantis is noted as not being native to combat, and instead, an industrial machine, alongside the Cyclops, if you played Halo Wars. Industrial machines need to be big, in order to construct or move big, end of story on that one.
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

Because the UNSC are technologically retarded. Just look at the Scorpion; what a horrible design for a tank.

Ahem. Cough.There's a difference between small powered exo-skeletons, and thick industrial working machines.It didn't actually take 500 years to develop a decent powered exo-skeleton.The Mantis is noted as not being native to combat, and instead, an industrial machine, alongside the Cyclops, if you played Halo Wars. Industrial machines need to be big, in order to construct or move big, end of story on that one.Small, human sized powered armour existed in the Haloverse for some time, but the main issue was, it was too good.A regular human body couldn't cope with the speed or strain of things like MJLNOR.The technology was always there in the background, and, I wouldn't be surprised, if lower tiered and lower powered suits existed, but were just impractical.Especially, if we take into account the Haloverse's use of drugs. Drugs that could augment your natural strength and yada yada anyway.
