[@CountKibblesNBits]

+Masamune1993 According to the lore Sangheili medical treatment is sub par in comparison to humans, do to their long history with the covenant in which they usually served primarily military roles and let the Prophets handle science, technology, and to a degree medicine. They also believe blood is sacred and tied to ones essence and honor, so being wounded is heavily looked down upon amongst their culture and leads to ritualistic suicide. Also cus of this reason they don't like doctors, cus they see medical treatment such as surgery as spilling another's blood without honor. In halsey's case they needed her alive, and since Sangheili customs don't apply to her, Jul simply says, "fuck it, off with the arm." Id imagine an energy sword would be extremely efficient at amputation do to it being able to cauterize the wound while simultaneously cutting.

[@Y2KillerSPOOBLY]

+Masamune1993 Subclavian artery runs parallel to the clavicle. Possible grade III-IV exsanguination would mean loss of circulation to the limb and subsequent necrosis of the tissue. If circulation is not restored promptly the limb may become gangrenous. A field-expedient amputation might have been appropriate, and is certainly realistic.

[@jerome0929]

livster493 Halo 4 had a decent story, don’t know why they had to kill cortana. I personally hated the backstory of the forerunners, they were suppose to be ancient and mysterious. They “ reveal” everything that made them special and bringing the Didact back after 100,000 years was the dumbest thing ever. I feel the story should had been the rise of a faction of the covenant with forerunners technology, obviously the covenant was split and weakened but having forerunners tech would put them as a higher threat ( the banish are perfect) this rogue covenant and Jul was handle poorly, barely got any respect and Spartans IV are unnecessary and just takes away the special factor for spartans in general. Halo 5 fuck everything even worse with cortana coming back as a villain, Jul getting killed in 5 mins and prometheans got a lot worse, hate those disappearing humanoids , they are even more annoying then those jumping jackals from halo reach.

Everyone's complaining about the SPARTAN-IVs being non-spartany, but that was intentional. Spartan IIs were raised from childhood to be war machines, and Spartan IIIs were exclusively selected from people who already showed extreme ruthlessness and efficiency. S4 was a strictly volunteer program, from people who didn't suffer from severe personality disorders. When ONI was designing Spartan IVs they brought this into question, hence why the guy interrogating Halsey at the very beginning of Halo one asked if she thought it was important that Spartans were sociopaths. This isn't a mistake, 343 planned it out pretty well.

[@tristanbackup2536]

I know. People who don't understand the deep lore expect the Spartan IVs to be like the IIs. How can a individual who had a normal life, became a soldier in the war against the Covenant suddenly become perfect ruthless killing machine after. It doesn't work physiologically like that.

[@hectorsantiago7953]

You say 'trauma', but it's more like 'conditioning'. There's a good reason they are called by the moniker 'Spartans' since their upbringing is a very sci-fi enhanced version of ancient Spartans. The first thing that happened at a spartan child's birth was a once-over to see if they would be fit to be trained as a Spartan warrior. Those who didn't pass were discarded. Many call this inhumane, cruel, etc., but the results were undeniable. Their culture was different, and we judge it now based on our own culture and beliefs. Halsey's dilemna was that she was "too smart", wondering with all her intellect whether or not the ends justified the means. If saving humanity was worth the sacrifice and suffering of a few hundred children; if the Spartan program or the MJOLNIR program didn't exist, would humanity have survived unscathed from the civil war it was embroiled in, let alone the Covenant invasion? If she would have done nothing humanity might've perished. The few hundred children she abducted, conditioned, genetically altered, and sent off to fight would've all ceremoniously died. But her doing something meant bestowing humanity a fighting chance at the expense of a few hundred children. And while you might argue she did what she had to do because the Covenant threat warranted it, remember that the Spartan program was created to quell human rebellion. The Covenant was not even close to being in the picture at that time. You could say that the Spartans were made to kill humans, and just happened to be good at fighting the Covenant as well.

Yeah they gotta tighten up that program. A lot of the IVs behave like kids rather than special forces soldiers.

[@brainer5457]

Tj Bernal Yeah i kinda agree with that first part. Spartan 4's are not really spartans because they didn't undergo the spartan program. They only got augmentations.

Unfortunately, because of scheduling conflicts going on at the time, Ethan Peck (who portrayed Thorne in Spartan Ops) didn't have the time to voice/motion capture his part in H5 when early production started. Thus, Thorne was swapped out for another character. It just so happened that Nathan Fillion was free and willing to come back as Buck at the time. The concept art: www.halopedia.org/images/f/f3/H5GC-TimLongo%26Osiris.png There's also a piece of artwork featured as the cover of The Art of Halo 5: Guardians that still shows him as part of Fireteam Osiris: www.halopedia.org/images/9/9e/H5GC-ArtCover.jpg

I have always loved Dr. Halsey as a character, but you have to admit that she is no saint - her experiments with the original Spartans go against every moral code in the scientific community. She KIDNAPPED children, brainwashed them, and EXPERIMENTED ON THEM. Plus, those experiments were very likely extremely painful - altering genetics is no walk in the park. She also REPLACED the children with clones who were destined to get sick and die - just imagine those poor parents! It also works in her favor because with a clone in their place, the Spartan children had nowhere else to go - they had no choice but to stay with ONI. There are war criminals today who have been charged for less. But no one can argue with the end result: the Spartans are the greatest soldiers humanity has ever seen. Neither is she a devil, however. I think she eventually grew to care for the Spartans that she raised. She may not show much emotion, but she mourned the Spartans who died in the War of the Covenant, and she is protective of the Spartans who survived it.

[@generaljimmies3429]

I'd say the true villain is ONI, they sanctioned the Spatan IIs after all.

Yeah, but we can continue her questionable character. She implanted codes into the UNSC AIs that the UNSC doesnt know about, she created the Spartans to kill other humans and put down civil war.

[@jamesbutler3360]

***** she may have accomplished all that incredible stuff, But I'm a believer of ends not justifying means. Yes, in a roundabout way she helped save humanity, but things she did shouldn't go unpunished, and she was lucky she didn't get the bullet as soon as the war ended. Then again, I also admit, Osman made a bad call, as a resource, Halsey is invaluable (look at infinity). I could go on, but just based on the end of this, Palmer and Lasky have got themselves into one hell of a shit storm, and created one for the whole UNSC, I'm keen to find out if 343 can handle the story well instead of conveniently letting them off. And for Palmer's sake, she better hope the chief never finds out what she did . . .

[@jamesbutler3360]

***** Yeah, she's smart enough to be able to play Jul, but she is extremely proud, the revenge could go pretty far. The chief will of course support Halsey no matter what seeing as she indoctrinated the lot of the S-II's it'll just be interesting to see as she also brainwashed them to be loyal to the UNSC as well. Further, as I think I've already mention, I'm interested to see where the hell the infinity group end up, because of the screw up.

***** Well the thing is the newer generations of Spartans were never as effective and cold and hardcore as the Spartan II's so I think Chief might have a chance against these volunteer Spartans

[@RmRdtheDestroyer]

***** If you want to get technical, yes the Spartan III's were more effective in the sense that more of them could be produced but at a lesser level(to increase survival rate of the surgical augmentations). They were supposed to be a more cost effective Spartan, but had a higher casualty rate. As for Chief vs Majestic, it's really anyone's game. Master Chief is a battle-hardened soldier who knows nothing but war, trained at a very young age to be nothing other than a what he is. Fire-team Majestic on the other hand, became Spartans as fully grown adults. The GenIV Spartans didn't undergo the same level of military training as the GenII Spartans. In a straight up fair fight I'd give it to Majestic, but in a real fight I'd give it to the Chief because he knows he wouldn't win in a fair fight, he'd fall back and resort to guerrilla warfare, and pick them off one at a time.

[@MrFuckingElectro]

Dr. Halsey stated/made two things very clear: 1.) She is driven by a thirst for knowledge. To know everything there is to know. Researching Forerunner tech would be a necessary step in achieving that. and, through her actions, 2.) she is very skilled at the art of deception. i.e. Roland override, communicating with Jul 'Mdama/withholding information from the UNSC. I think she is playing Jul by saying she wants revenge. Also, she didn't make clear who she wants revenge against, although it is obviously implied against the UNSC/ONI/humanity. I think the relationship between Master Chief and Catherine Halsey will be the main focus of Halo 5: Guardians. At some point in the story, Halsey will have both parts of the Janus Key and perhaps use it to locate a Forerunner technology that could resurrect Cortana? Agent Locke might be an antagonist in the sense that he has orders to locate and assassinate Halsey. The Arbiter will make a return, but he'll be sided with Agent Locke because he won't have all the information on the situation at hand. So, basically it'll be Agent Locke/Arbiter/ONI vs Master Chief/Spartan IIs/Catherine Halsey vs the current enemies. With a return of the Flood toward the end. What do you guys think?

[@joelbrown5683]

In the Halo 2 Anniversary epilogue Locke and Arbiter talk about chief and Arbiter says chief would have his reasons for leaving and Locke says thats what he wants to find out. So I think it will be more along the lines of Halsey/Chief/Arbiter vs ONI vs Jul's Covenant, with Locke switching between ONI and chiefs side. My predictions is Halsey will die and become Johns new AI (effectively Cortana as she is a clone of Halsey)

[@derecmorneault8644]

Spartan II's were the best the UNSC ever put out. Taking on the mantle of the term "Spartan" because they've trained and studied military tactics and combat since childhood (regardless if they were forced to or not). In the novel "Halo: Fall of Reach," it tells the timeline of their start as soldiers all the way up until the beginning of Halo: Combat Evolved, giving statistics of their capabilities. Before the MJOLNIR armaments were finalized, John-117 and his squad were tested by CPO Mendez in their teamwork and CQC combat skills by putting them against a Heavy Mech armed with two miniguns and a single missile launcher while John and his team were unarmored and unarmed (no weapons, combat boots, pants and a shirt). In seconds, the team destroyed the heavy mech without injury or losses. In addition, in game cutscenes of the Master Chief don't accurately depict his combat capabilities as written in the book, and it is stated that the newer serum used for the Spartan IV's is not nearly as effective as the augmentation done for the Spartan II's by Doctor Halsey, but ONI wasn't as strict on the details for the Spartan program, so they kept them both as "equal." The closest depiction to the actual physical capacity of the Spartan II's is in the short clip "Halo Legends: The Package," where MCPO John-117 leads his squad on a rescue mission for Halsy. In addition, it is also stated that the Spartan II's and III's out performed the Spartan IV's in total mission success rate per death count. People would argue that the Spartan II's are no longer relevant or significant compared to the Spartan IV's because "the Master Chief is the only one left." This is not true, in fact almost 1/4 of the Spartans that bore the armor and maintained combat effectiveness originally are left, just not mentioned in the game. In the video "the Surviving Spartans," there's quite a list of Spartan II's remaining in service, however their statuses are unknown due to lack of significance to the novels and game. Overall the Spartan II's were the most effective in terms of mission success, the Spartan III's coming in second in terms of success. The Spartan IV's just aren't as combat effective as the other series of Spartans due to inferior training and biological enhancement. They may be past ODST's and other special forces soldiers, but they'll never receive the training, enhancements, and discipline the II's and III's did.

Honestly I’ve always though the hate IVs and Osiris get is overblown. More to the point on IVs, making them more human is probably an improvement. When you consider the original idea about how forerunners were humans, you see how the Spartan II and IIIs were humans becoming more forerunner. To the point where forerunner monitors even considered them to BE forerunner. But is that a good thing? Forerunners in their arrogance destroyed the galaxy. Forerunners socially engineered a brave new world society for themselves by genetically determining their lots in life. Forerunners, like Spartans, were almost anti social, never laughed or cried, never had emotion. Human or not the Forerunners had lost their humanity. The IVs embody this hopeful ideal that HUMANITY can attain forerunner status without losing our more innate qualities. That includes our flaws but it also includes something more important and spiritual which when lost is impossible to find and in the case of the forerunners, dooms an entire Galaxy to a cold, lifeless fate after prolonged violence

[@jackwilliams4691]

[@vmitradkwondofytr480]

I have to admit, one thing's that I still scratch my head about when I watch any Halo cutscene is this notion that "Master Chief" is the title of one particular person ever in history, and will always mean that, even when he dies (which they thought happened after Halo 3). I don't know if the makers of Halo have forgotten (or ever really knew), but Master Chief is actually a rank in the Navy. When one Master Chief retires, another person is boarded to replace the rank of Master Chief (of which there is always only one per tenure). I feel like 343 makes this mistake even more than Bungie, which is noticeable by their characters apply the stress in the first syllable in "Master Chief", as if it's his name - which I don't ever notice in Bungie Halo, in which they almost always apply the stress to the "Chief" because they know Chief is the primary nomenclature of his rank. I'm probably just being weird dude 😂😅 just ignore me lol

[@rannenw6207]

I met more than 1 Master Chief in my naval career. While a tough rank to achieve you can have more than 1 per command.

[@kaptainkoffee9074]

Anyone else think that Spartan Thorne should have taken Master Chief's place. He had peaked Halsey as a Spartan and as a person. He was more human than any Spartan could ever hope to be. Thorne didn't have sociopathic tendencies or exhibit any extreme violence towards the enemy or fellow team members. Headhunters is a prime example with discussion of, "bully rather than be bullied." To inflict pain on someone or something else as a means to preserve your position in life. Even with Noble Team, Emile showing extreme signs of sociopathy when dealing with the civvy in the, "Winter Contingency" arguing with Jorge about, "forgetting what he is sometimes." Jorge exhibited notable human traits like Thorne. Compassion, anger, happiness, sadness the SPARTAN-IV program has garnered a missing trait in the program for some time, humanity. That was the whole point of Halo 4, showing how out of everything he accomplished, Master Chief was an unstable weapon that was now coming to terms with emotional scaring and PTSD. He should have been retired and evaluated, instead Halo 5's writing team decided he needs to be a fridge like he was in Halo CE. So here is to hope that Thorne will be the new vanguard of humanity. Honing the skill and battle prowess of Master Chief, while retaining all of his humanity like Jorge did. The imperfect warrior.

This is cleary telling ancient humans and history. This is betterthan paramount serie. And Thorne is best.

god it's such a shame that halo 5 didnt continue on the path halo 4 set up for it. let's hope halo 6 comes back to this story ark to some extent. a good way might be to explain why and how Halsey was accepted back into the infinity's crew (maybe information she has that was gathered during her time with the covenant) then in halo 6 it's revealed that she's still after revenge and was put back as an infiltration plan that Halsey devised that would give her the chance to kill whoever she needs to.

I think everyone is being two harsh on the Spartan IV. They have the same augmentations as the Spartan II and in some cases their augmentations are superior due to advances in technology. They have lighter, more advanced power armor than the Spartan II's. And do keep in mind that Spartan IV enrollment is open to all previous Spartan generations so Master Chief could very well be a Spartan IV in Halo 5 when he swaps out his old armor for the Mjolnir Series II armor the Spartan IV's enjoy. I'd also like to point out that the Spartan IV have additional augmentations that were no present during the Spartan II program with some having a high mortality rate and therefore still being researched.

Halsey is the classic example of someone who is confident in knowing she is valued; she created the SPARTANs and was involved in most of humanity's work understanding Forerunner artifacts during the war, so is pretty much irreplaceable at this point. the UNSC don't trust her in the slightest but they need her

"Ah great... I got a map" that whole scene is the same enthusiasm I have when I get the worst item in a raid

[@lolcats987654321]

Better than the tv show

[@VideoGameMusicVideos]

I haven’t even watched the show yet. Kind of refuse to from what I’ve see

[@jlzimmerman]

Spartan IV's were pansy, trash-talking, cocky, undisciplined, zero-physique whine boxes. It's a far cry from the Spartan II's.

[@Agencyagent33]

I hope the spartan 2s wipe them out to protect Halsey

[@Grapejuuccc]

Agencyagent33 how many of spartan2s do you think are left lol

[@laneholland8397]

peam072540 It doesnt matter lol spartan IV's are like grunts compared to spartan 2's ;)

[@jakejake790]

lane holland whats the difference between spartans 1,2,3,4,and now the 5 any help would be nice im trying to become a big halo fan

[@cheehanczh4295]

Jacob Tarnofsky spartan 1 is a failed spartan project with experimental augmentation.Example would be SGT johnson which is how he is actually immune to the flood.Spartan 2s is master chief,kidnapped at 6 and trained and augmented to the best,but few survived the experimental augmentations(basically captain america standard)ONI took halsey's data and made the spartan 3s,kidnapped at 12 instead.The augments are safer and all,but they aren't as skilled as the spartan 2s.Spartan 4s are stupid chosen soldiers that are augmented.

+ServantOfPriss She was considered a war criminal back in the original trilogy (in the books)

Cheez It Book and page, please.

[@HeHimMan]

+ServantOfPriss Really don't get why people are mad about that. They're *clearly* trying to paint the UNSC/ONI as a bunch of totalitarian space-shits. I don't see why space-shits trying to use a good character as a scape-goat for the reprehensible shit they helped do is a bad thing.

[@ServantOfPriss]

***** I had thought of that. But they seem to have misfired, because it rather seems that they're purposely trying to paint her as actually evil instead of what you say. Then again, I'm still suffering PTSD from Glasslands and Traviss, so it might be that.

[@HeHimMan]

ServantOfPriss I see where you're coming from, man.
