[@BunMangViet]

@@MrSpartanspud I mean, it's been confirmed that she was rescued by Spartan-IIIs, so that means she could have been saved sometime between 2535 to 2552/2553 at the latest. Edit: I just realized the city in the cutscene is London, which would mean this is taking place during the Battle of Earth during Halo 2/Halo 3/Halo 3: ODST, so 2552/2553. So she had seven years to fast track to become a Spartan-IV commander/trainer. God the UNSC must have some insane fast tracks for promotion.

[@MrSpartanspud]

@@BunMangViet Yeah that's why I am saying about 6. It's 2559 the cutscene takes place. So 6/7 years. And there's Big Ben in the background so it probably has to be in 52/53.

@@625098evan it’s been canonically stated across several sources that the Spartan II’s, III’s, and IV’s were all augmented. Yes, it’s true that a portion of the IV’s are made up of marines, ODSTs, etc but they still received augmentations.

[@ShadowsOfReach]

I always view this cutscene as a dramatization of the actual battle of earth. She is looking at these memories not as just her old self, but as what she wants her and her recruits to become. What would have been more likely Spartan IIs or IIIs originally are depicted as spartan IVs in her memory and the enemies with the gear and weapons that she faces. Not because the memories are wrong, but it is her putting her recruits in the boots of those spartans that saved her that day. She wants her Spartan IVs to be more than the first groups of Spartan IVs whom were more party people, unstable and had traitors among them. She is essentially wanting to train the Spartan IVs under her to be the guardians of Humanity rather than the publicity agents the S-IV program started as

[@Baldeagle-tw2nv]

She was turning them into what Halsey had intedned the Spartans to be, symbols that no matter how dire a situation is, ANY foe or obstical can be overcome. It just comes down to having the will and drive to overcome it. Spartans may be the pennicle of humanity, but it's the drive of the normal humans that are inspired that cause humanity to achieve greatness and the impossible.

Finally! a Spartan program that doesn't make me feel like dying would be a better alternative. Proven fact: regardless of training someone will always fight harder and last longer when they have something worth fighting and living for, something I believe the Spartan 2 program or more specifically Halsey and Mendez overlooked drastically.

[@anxiousearth680]

Reminds me of dialogue in the campaign. "You got someone special back home Chief?" "Family?" "No" "Then why do you keep doing this. Over and over and over." "It's all I know." (paraphrased)

[@zjuraeventide8949]

@@anxiousearth680 It makes a real interesting dynamic between the old Spartans and new ones I think. Spartan II's were like brothers in arms. They fought like hell because they were conditioned to fight until the very last. Noble squadron was proof of the potential of the spartan program. Fighting until the very last. And yet it's kind of cruel in a way, because of the fact that being a Spartan II isolates you from the normal civillian population. Whatever potential life you would have led before you became a Spartan, completely destroyed. Having little to no casual social interactions outside of that of the military. One must wonder how they're able to keep themselves going.

@@daniel57327 yes all except Jorge who is a II

[@JohnDoe-wt9ek]

Spartan II's were trained as a last ditch measure in a situation in which the fulcrum of the UNSC-Insurrectionist War was tipping heavily in the direction of the Innies. Thus, Halsey and a few select UNSC personnel were selected to develop the SPARTAN II cadre. And they were chosen from a young age because the SPARTAN I's was a series of failures, including the advanced age of the volunteers (Master Sergeant Avery Johnson among them). By selecting children, NavSpecWar (under ONI control and coordination), decided to utilize children, in an effort to better condition, indoctrinate, and train for warfare at an early age. It worked. The issue is that due to the various isolated and very extreme circumstances that John and the other S-II's had gone through, it was very difficult for them to relate at any level to other personnel or civilians, than at the military level. They could only be personal with each other, and even then, it was fleeting. The S-III program was meant to make the rudimentary successes of the S-II program into a more mass production designed system, and instead of kidnapping children from homes and families, they would take the children from orphanages on Human occupied worlds that were taking in refugees. In so doing, no family connections, no necessary guilt behind the taking of these children, and more importantly easier to replace thanks to the manpower granted (morbidly) by the ever increasing attrition rate of the Human-Covenant War. Yet, even they could not relate to humans as effectively as we see in S-IV's. And the greater reason being that the S-III program was held in even greater secret, with even their own classified planet (Onyx) to operate, train, and subsequently deploy from. Even more so the S-III's (if we don't count Halo: Reach) were oft sent on suicide missions. So even then there was no chance for human-Spartan interactions to gauge the possible mental disabilities and instability wrought by bio-genetic engineering and modification, inducing dissociative/anti-social patterns/behavior. The S-IV is probably the closest one can get to Spartans having a semblance of their humanity, despite the immense training and augmentation they go through. Yet, even with all this, Master Chief and those of Blue Squad who are still alive, have been fighting the war since it began in 2525. In which they were only 16 or so. Before that, some random incursions against Insurrectionist HVT's and strong points to assist ODST/Marine operations, but for most of their operational span, they had been fighting a losing war trying to save humanity from what seemed damn near inevitable. The extinction of the Human Race. Most of the rest of these Spartans did not have that impending doom and the overwhelming weight of being the ONLY thing capable of fighting, and defeating, the Covenant in ground engagements without overwhelming odds. And more importantly, bearing the full brunt of being UNSC propaganda as a beacon of hope in war Humanity was losing, terribly.

When she said "when I get back we'll be busy", all that makes me want is a PvE multiplayer campaign. Just firefight with a growing story. Like Spartan Ops but better.

Another idea is adding back Warzone Firefight from H5, add Req Packs if you want, but not purchasable and only earned through gameplay and challenges (Warzone exclusive challenges)

I feel like Destiny's strikes would work in Halo or at least something in that style. Replayable semi-linear missions that are story driven but also just fun to play with their own unique mechanics while keeping the sandbox of Halo in a four player activity.

Plus there were Spartan-IIIs that were pulled from their companies and put in special teams and equipment such as Mark-V[B] armor with Noble Team being one of the examples. So it’s possible that the Spartans that was in London could be surviving members of Alpha and Beta Companies that were reassigned from their companies before Operations Prometheus and Torpedo respectively, and were then put special operations teams similar to Noble Team.

@@Poolehful The short shows us a very quick transition of a soldier to a spartan. This, in my opinion, is here to give us a synopsis of the values Spartans learn in their training. Also, Spartans are just a form of grunt. They are just super soldier infantry. So it makes sense that they would be boots on the ground like grunts.

I'd like to imagine that Spartan II's and III's are Icons to Spartan IV's Two Generations of Spartans that survived against impossible odds and died ether blowing up Halo Rings with a fuck ton of covenant going down with them or dying saving the Innocent from the onslaught of the Covenant. A Role model that Spartan IV's want to live up to. And if word gets out that Master Chief is still alive and didn't die along with the Infinity then I can't imagine how much joy will come out of it.

[@LuiSCruz-gg2jd]

In Bad Blood Buck had warned Jun that Leonidas was working for Cortana. So I believe that Jun knew and made plans to have everyone evacuate without Cortana knowing, that’s why Agrena said “Laconia changed everything, we had to regroup”, also in the campaign Weapon asked Chief if all the Spartans were killed and he gave her a very Quick and vague “Yes” showing that Chief still didn’t fully trust her to tell her evacuation plans had been made. Just a thought 💭 right….

I am curious of the timeline for when she's a civilian into her being a Spartan 4. Assuming those 4s that saved her did so when they went active on the first possible day of 7th January 2553. And it's around Halo Infinite's start date in that cutscene so it's near the end of 2559. So we will say 7 years. She went from civilian to Spartan 4 commander in 7 years? What's the career trajectory there. It's a similar issue I had with Palmer. She's 30 years old but she's the commanding officer of the special forces on humanities biggest warship as of the start of Halo 4. They're making all the Spartans a bit too young. There should be some more who seem like hardened soldiers. Even if you bumped Palmer up to 40 years old it would be easier to buy into. They're taken from the best of the best. But aside from Osiris (despite their flaws) I don't feel that's really been portrayed.

We kinda are the Spartan 2's, 3's, and ODST's. Then fortnite transfers are mistakes, I mean 4's. But seriously the game spacing with the different generations of spartans is perfect. We actually can consider ourselves the generation of spartans from the game we started in (When in game). Or ODST's for some. We're the ones that understand the different uses of each weapon intimately instead of just trying to spam plasma at an enemy with no shields.

Just once I’d love to see a IV attain the reputation of a II, or a III. Some ballsy moves or some unconventional gambles that pay off in a pinch - real grand concepts like re entering atmosphere. Right now it’s like they’re ODSTs with shields.

[@navysailor4117]

I think Infinite tried to show that IV’s, while not as lethal as II’s, are still Spartans. Just look at the campaign while you’re finding the Spartans. One took out like 16 banished with a screwdriver. Even chief says Spartans don’t go quietly when referring to a IV. I think people are really sleeping on IV’s if they still think they’re just ODST’s with fancy armor

[@kraios1996]

@@navysailor4117 but they are

[@RadicalRain]

@@navysailor4117 My issue is precisely that, conceptually, every Spartan IV is a John Wick that takes out 16 banished with a screwdriver and then dies. Good warriors, with boot-camp discipline and average smarts. They fight, kill, run missions til they get overrun and die. I don’t think they’re weak, they’re just conventional teams treated as expendable story markers. it’d be great to see someone else come close to being the tactical nuke level of spartan, like a hyper lethal vector. Something or someone to show that IVs are reliable in quality, with some of the best, rather than a force to be deployed in quantity. The idea that a few heroes can change the fate of a battle or a war with their own actions, even if it’s a tragedy, it’s great storytelling that fosters respect. And to be fair I think characters like Palmer and Locke have that potential, I just have gripes with how they’re treated at large.

[@navysailor4117]

@@RadicalRain Locke could’ve been that type of character honestly, but they destroyed him. Buck, if they’d work with him, could also have that potential. I’d also like to see a IV get some spotlight time, so we could have potentially another spinoff like Reach did with noble 6.

[@Sauron227]

@@RadicalRain keeping in mind that there are only 14 active spartan 2s left. I don't think having the IVs go out guns blazing is any different to how most of the IIs went. Every Spartan II that has been shown going down in combat left a wake of dead covenant behind them or just the vaporized remains in Kurt and Sam's cases. Infinite will hopefully give 343s writers the open platform to expand the IVs story more. Both Buck and Locke have the character potential to be strong secondary characters like Johnson, but no spartan other then Noble 6 has ever been labeled hyper lethal like John. The thing's we do has Chief are acts that would normally take an entire spartan fireteam.

I want 'another' Noble 6, maybe instead of already being the hyperLethal killing machine. We're a freshly out of augmentation Spartan 4, slapped with some sqanky new armor, a squad, and we're off to fight. Maybe we could even pick from a list of pre-generated armor sets. (Like in for honor) I don't think it'll ever happen, the story is really too far gone to be doing that kind of stuff.
