The FIRST Spartans in Halo | Project ORION (Halo Lore)

[@pigeonpigeon3249]

A soul for a soul. Infinite is delayed, but Sametoken uploads more.

[@beefs0ck911]

That explains how easy it was for Johnson to help Chief up in the beginning of Halo 3

[@indio4-215]

Especially when you delve into the Halo lore and learn that Chief (and by extension, every other Spartan), weigh over 1,000 pounds when wearing MJOLNIR combined with their own augmented weight. That's when it should really be obvious that Johnson had to have been a super-soldier himself, even if perhaps not nearly as enhanced, because there's no way in hell that a normal human (no matter how strong) is pulling someone who weighs half-a-ton to his feet, let alone with the sort of ease that Johnson did it with.

Just the intro is greatly made. Good work man. Alot of youtubers create "youtube" quality videos, but your content is way ahead of itself. Your production is on the level of huge corporate/broadcast shows. Keep it up man!

I’m really glad you enjoyed, thank you!

I swear you're so underrated,all the important info (lore) I learn is 80% from this channel,respect to you bro

[@force1535]

It sounds familiar

[@mauz791]

Lovely reference 👍

[@evankern5219]

I had always thought the “Spartan-Ones” were the original 300 that faced off against the Persians, and Halsey naming her pet project “Spartan-II’s” was just a cute nod to history..

[@VegetaLF7]

I mean it's not inaccurate. She named her project the Spartan-II program as a double historical nod. "Spartan" as a nod back to the Greek Spartans, specifically the 300 who died at Thermopylae since she too started with 300 potential candidates and they likewise would be the ones safeguarding their people back home. The "-II" in turn was an acknowledgement of the Orion soldiers and what they had gone through, retroactively declaring the members of Project Orion as "Spartan-Is" once she got the IIs up and running.

[@loganmann3073]

Not sure if you’ll see this but man, I just want to say your videos are absolutely phenomenal and thank you for the content

[@SameToken]

I really appreciate that, and thank you for watching!

It's so good to see you uploading more frequently now. You make high quality content and I just know your channel is going to blow up soon!

I always thought Spartan I was homage to the Spartans from Ancient Greece. I figured that’s why they skipped to Spartan II.

Thats pretty much it. ORION testees were never called Spartans. So yes and no

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Supersoldier of prime generation will always be the most effective ones, Captain America, Null ARC Troopers, Thunder-Warriors & 1st Astartes founding, now the fact that they simply "make them the old fashion way" is a bonus, not sure if the Spartan-II could work, perhaps the 4th, pretty sure Lasky & Palmer might do it

I got Halsey's Journal with my copy of Halo Reach Legendary, it's actually a pretty good read. I highly recommend it.

[@andrewjustice210]

Fun Fact: Originally, (during Halo: Combat Evolved), the lore was that the “Spartan 1’s” were THE Spartans... like... from Sparta... Leonidas and the “300”... they were given the name Spartan IIs because they would be a superior fighting force made of a small number of soldiers... They were named after the originals in honor of the legacy of the name... but as lore progresses, things get retcon’d... not surprising... love your videos!

I believe is human ability to adapt that those Orion offsprings. Their body becomes immune to the side effects and children grows well. I swear it would be cool to see at least some of them conscripted.

[@Rinaldimanc]

Yes they were, and thats how **some of them** became spartan II's. I emphasizrd some because not all of the spartan 1.1s lived through the augmentations.

[@jonathanschenck8154]

1.1's with spartan 3 enhancements might be a bit much.
