What's with all the 8's on armor?

Ok this may be a silly question, but I know Bungie’s number has always been 7…but what’s with all the 8’s on the armor? Is it actually an 8 or is it just a symbol that REALLY looks like an 8? I keep up pretty well with the lore but not sure on this one – anyone know? You can see it on some helmets and shoulders mostly.

Now that I think about it, there is eights everywhere on the armors…

Because 343i can’t stand to make armour that only looks mediocre, they have to create something extremely ugly by putting 8 all over it.

Are they trying to say they’re a step above Bungie by making 8’s instead of 7’s? Lol.

I do believe it’s the infinity loop rather than an 8 becuase Spartans now branched off into the unsc infinity ? That’s my idea

I think that since all the matches are simulations being run on the ship “Infinity” and the symbol for infinity is a sideways 8.

I never thought of that. Good question.

I noticed the Achilles symbol on my Mark IV armor.

My moneys on this.

The Infinity symbol signifies that that Spartans armor belongs to Infinity, all of the infinitely held armor (seeker, recruit, Athlon) all have that symbol.
