I actually felt some sympathy towards Halsey in that opening cinematic. Yes, she created the Spartan Program, yes she kidnapped children for it, and yes she is bending history by omitting the original purpose of their creation. However, it was the UNSC that green lit the project knowing full well what it was for, and what it would require. Now that the war is over and she's served her purpose, the UNSC is basically throwing Halsey under the bus here even though they are just as guilty for the creation of this program.

My biggest pet peeve with Halo cutscenes now is how he always magically wears the newest armors, even in flashbacks. They keep redesigning his Armor in almost every game, yet I feel the only time we had an in-canon armor upgrade was in Halo 2. So he's technically still supposed to wear the same armor from Halo 2, but it's a significantly different set of Armor now than it used to be.

Dr Halsey was without compassion when she made the Spartans, (her compassion came later and only after they lived up to her expectations), but she isn't solely to blame. Someone approved this operation and it was repeated with the Spartan 3's, which were given a raw deal, and treated as utterly expendable, were not even made by Halsey. It seems as if Halsey is being the sole Fall-Guy because she didn't 'play ball' with ONI. The writers are pretty spot on with people in power work, especially when you have a large elite group who think they're better than the rest of the UNSC and the rest of Humanity for that matter.

[@alexanderfrench9236]

Anyone who has read the books would know that, while the Spartans may show mildly sociopathic traits at higher rates than is normal in the population. They are in fact in no way sociopaths or "broken". They regularly go out of their way to rescue innocent civilians in their missions and are willing to die in the name of duty, service and protection (these among other of their prominent traits categorically remove them from "sociopathic" definitions). I, personally, find the implication (by the modern storytellers appending to the original storyline) that the Spartans are somehow "less human", "broken", emotionally deficient, barbaric, stupid, automatons, etc. to be slightly more than mildly offensive. They do not seem to have properly internalised what the Spartans are, how they became what they are, why they were selected from amongst other children, their training and the purpose of their training, their mandate or how their missions and experiences would have shaped them as they engaged in years of war of all kinds. The Spartans would not be deficient in normal human emotions, they would in fact be super human in their command and understanding of human emotions. They would not have been heartless because they were shaped to be deeply committed to each other, their trainers and the lives they are fighting to protect. Over the many years of their training, before they hit active duty, they were shunned, rejected and borderline despised and hated by all people they met other than their own trainers and team members. All other units shunned them and they could not connect with other humans. It was only after reports of their successes and utility in the fight against the Cov. that they began having honours and respect heaped upon them. Do you really think that their tendency to interact would have been as typically developed as ours, we who have not known such estrangement? Apparently being highly trained and disciplined gives modern writers "creative licence" to frame these protagonists as "inhuman", is this because modern humans are weak, untrained and undisciplined and so "to improve relatability" we have to be patronised and have our hands held because we can't imagine actually being in command of our emotions and striving to be better than our animal heritages? Sorry to get so passionate but I have played the games and read the books since they came out and they formed a significant part of my childhood. I read the first four books perhaps ten times and developed a very strong relationship to my understanding of the Chief, his Spartans and their purpose and experiences. Normally I am not so quick to vitriol and anger but in this case I see one of my heroes misunderstood, denigrated and stepped on for reasons I cannot understand and I find it disgraceful.

[@Shade01982]

There are some who definitely show sociopathic and slightly sadistic tendencies, but that's probably more of a character trait than anything related to the Spartan program. I mean, like most things they will be a reflection of their society.

[@aenearion5503]

And the interrogator is trying to push his own viewpoint as well, which is why she asks who he is. If you read the books and surrounding content (I would recommend which does go into more depth surrounding the Spartan IIs and their training as well as the animated series of the same name) you learn that Halsey invests a lot more emotionally into the Spartan IIs than most assume. Halsey also canonically has a reason for the Spartan programme; an ONI investigation that found impending collapse from the growing threat of civil war. If the Covenant hadn't arrived the Insurrection -which isn't featured in the games- likely would have caused a lot of death and destruction anyway. ONI were fully aware of what Halsey was doing all along. Halsey also only recruited from candidates that showed special markers, above what most humans are capable of, in terms of ability; John's luck, Kelly's speed, etc. Halsey also invested in cryogenically saving as many Spartans that washed out during augmentation as possible for potential treatment/resuscitation in future. It should also be noted that of the Spartan IIs, there are two notable examples of reintegration into normal life. Ralph-103 was discharged before the final augmentations, reintegrating and eventually joining the UNSC Marines and dying against the Covenant. The other is Maria-062, who apparently retired from active service during the Human-Covenant war with the intent of starting a family while serving in the Reserves. The Spartan IIs also have a member who actively chose to join the Insurrection after the augmentations in Soren-066, so its not like they're completely without free will. Halsey insisted on the Mjolnir armour to give her Spartans the best survival rates possible, which was something that the vast majority of Ackerson's Spartan IIIs never got access to, Spartan IIIs that were sent out to die by the hundreds having also been conscripted as children who'd seen their families be massacred by the Covenant. Those children were raised in just as harsh a manner, with similar tendencies, with lesser augmentations and essentially treated and manipulated to be expendable cannon fodder. Spartan III teams like NOBLE were amongst the absolute minority in receiving Mjolnir armour. It was also the Spartan III program that heavily invested in the idea of the HeadHunters - sending one or two man Spartan teams on suicide missions to try to eliminate Covenant commanders. It should also be noted that the Spartan IIs were taught to make their own decisions in the field, while Spartan IIIs weren't, hence the mocking tone towards Commander Carter during their encounters In Halo: Reach. As for displaying sociopathic tendencies, part of this isn't down to Halsey anyway, ONI encouraged this with the whole "missing in action" thing and given that Spartan IIs had the highest survivability rate, and thus were essentially shipped from war zone to war zone, it was probably likely to highly negative towards socialisation with other soldiers. While there was animosity between Spartan IIs and other units (such as the ODSTs) it was part of their training to encourage teamwork and a familial bond between the Spartan IIs. Also part of it was due to other companies being humiliated by the Spartan IIs in training, such as Tango Company, who got so pissed off by continually losing that their commanding officer ordered them to use live rounds against a bunch of twelve year olds. () It should also be noted that John-117 displayed familiarity and friendship with Master Sergeant Avery Johnson in the games, who himself was part of Project Orion, the predecessor program to the Spartan IIs, so it's not like they're incapable of friendship or empathy. Did Halsey do something ethically and morally wrong? Sure, but if she hadn't humanity would've been wiped out. At the end of the day, she was caught between doing something incredibly ethically and morally wrong towards a small group of children or a larger portion of humanity. The Insurrection would've likely claimed many lives if it had been allowed to gain anymore steam and Halsey's caught in the whole train conundrum. Unfortunately when it comes down to the survival of the species, ethical and moral dilemmas kinda get thrown out the window for the sake of necessity.,

@@heterian97 No problem! I've played the originals (CE-3) Reach, as well as 4 and 5. I didn't get around to playing Halo: Wars, though I did read about the stories behind both. I don't consider myself to be completely in touch with all of the lore per se (Forerunner stuff/Flood stuff is weird) but I found the approach that Halo 4 and 5 took towards the Spartan IIs to be odd. Probably didn't help that Halo 5's story was pretty bad. But yeah, the books give a much greater depth as to Halsey being fully aware of her actions and investing into the Spartan candidates. It also helps that Bungie were willing to cooperate with the authors to have their works fit into the timeline and make a cohesive story. There is a bit of crossover in regards to Halo: Reach and Halo:The Fall of Reach that they retconned slightly, but both stories are still mostly canon. (It's mainly explained by NOBLE not interacting with the other Spartan teams defending the planet.)

currently 3/4ths done with the book series and can confirm even though doctor halsey was evil to her core she was the only person willing to do what needed to be done and even then everyone piggy backed off of her with the spartan 3, and even spartan 4 program all the while pointing the finger at her whats even more impressive is she accepts all of it at the end so humanity can go on and be more prosperous. not to mention john isnt even the most B/A spartan just the luckiest, if any of you have time look up gray team they were the true spartans, 3 man team wiping out planets and other crazy stuff.

They still have their humanity and they still had a choice of walking away from it after deployment. When you are a combatant, you tend to attach greater importance to a shared common traits of survival and mutual protection. 117 was the common denominator for the Spartans sticking together and their belief in Halsey.

[@angelreyes8714]

@@jmjjim819 the choice they were given after deployment was an empty hollow one. They forced these people to only think and see one thing: war. They all grew up with nothing else on their minds. Now after a powerful enemy appears and you send them off in a few missions you think it's finally time that they choose to stay or leave? Obviously almost all of them would choose to stay. Because you removed all other choices from them. It's an illusion of a choice.

I'm not familiar with the Halo franchise, but sometimes I discover bits of its history and it's interesting. Like, imagine if that kind of backstory was in the Star Wars prequel. Because the Jedi Order trains younglings, but people have to look for them, I guess. And some children with the Force left out in the wild could turn to the dark side and become a possible threat. So do they force their parents or them (if they are alone) to join the Order? And what if a young human/alien doesn't want to? They get rid of him?

Spartans were all listed in the UNSC's records as missing in action if they died, it was a way to upkeep moral within the UNSC and humanity itself. They built up the myth that the Spartans were invincible soldiers, the "Spartans never die" is referencing that.

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

It was satire, he referenced the common trope that "spartans never die" and thus delegitimizing Halsey's claims as having any real value in regards to the whereabouts of John 117.

[@IGabeLincoln]

@@Under_Growth Unfortunately this is not explicitly stated in the games, but is said many times in the books. Guess they are just assuming people had read them. In the books the government ensured that all Spartans would only be labelled MIA for morale purposes.
