I'm pretty sure like, dozens die in the novels....

Didn't their genetic engineering super-shorten their lifespans or something? Or am I completely wrong.
User avatar #98 to #80 - iamkagji (08/11/2013) [-]
Don't listen to this other guy, he's wrong. Section II, once the SPARTAN II's were ************ , decided to list them as MIA instead of KIA to keep the troop morale up. The military in the series is more worried about keeping civilians alive rather than happy. Also, Master Chief is not the last Spartan, he just the last Spartan that isn't on a ********** mission, actually MIA or dead.
User avatar #91 to #80 - roxasbaby (08/11/2013) [-]
whenever one died, master chief would list them missing in action, since they thought that keeping the myth that they were invincible would help boost civi morale. Also their life span isnt shortened, but the flash clones that they used to replaced them would die after a few years after defects that would appear.
User avatar #92 to #91 - numbertwozeldafan (08/11/2013) [-]
Ah, thank you for clearing that up.

You misunderstand; my hatred is aimed not at halo, but at the stagnant FPS genre as a whole; 3 was simply where I stopped caring entirely. It had nothing new or exciting to offer me in any way, and any challenge was obliterated by the fact that I've already done similar games a dozen times.

There are a few in Halo 4, but I don't think there are any in ODST at all, hence the ODST title.
User avatar #183 to #180 - dyllygaf (08/11/2013) [-]
Okay, I think I understand better now, I went and looked it up. So the ODST soldiers are not Spartans, right?
User avatar #185 to #183 - supamonkey (08/11/2013) [-]
No, ODSTs are normal (if very well trained) human soldiers. Spartans are genetically engineered super-soldiers designed to excel in environments that normal humans like the ODSTs wouldn't be able to cope with.

In case it isn't 100% clear

Dr. Halsey made the spartan-I's, but they failed in the first test and the project was scrapped.

Then she committed several war crimes by starting the Spartan-II program (Disobeying direct orders, capturing children, genetic engineering, making slaves, etc.)
These were the spartans in Halo Reach (Reach is the spartans' home planet, where they grew up and trained)

Then all of them died on Reach when it was ******* by the Covenant. Master Chief, a spartan named James, and another named Linda were on Red Squad which had a mission to take care of in space while the rest of the spartans defended Reach. Linda was shot in the back of the head and James' jet pack was shot causing him to fly indefinitely out into space and he died. Master Chief survived, and then came back to earth to get a "package" (Cortana) to help him destroy the Halo Rings so the covey couldn't ***** more planets.

After Halo 2 or 3, Halsey was imprisoned for her war crimes, but the Spartan program continued. During 3 the Spartan III's were in production, using orphans from fallen colonies instead of abducted children. They were created in teams of 300 at a time, and sent on suicide missions. They had almost always a 100% mortality rate, but were considered strategic successes because they bought the UNSC time.

These suicide missions were the ones that the Elite ODST troops failed (ODST's were the best of the best marines, ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers who used drop pods from space that put them in the middle of the worst firefights (Also called Helltroopers)

Eventually the UNSC decided “There won't be any program; not like the Spartan-Twos, anyway or the Spartan-Threes, if I can help it. We're back to using consenting adults now, like we did in Project Orion.” These were the Spartan IVs, led by Parangosky, the first marine chosen to be a Spartan IV. These use similar armor to Spartan IIs and genetic engineering for willing volunteers.

Hope I helped!

User avatar #577 to #575 - masterspectre (08/11/2013) [-]
Dr. Halsey had nothing to do with the Spartan I's (originally called the ORION Project). The Spartan I's we're successfull but many died and thus the project was scrapped. Now on to the Spartan II's. The creation of the Spartan II's didn't involve any crimes, in fact the government approved and funded the program. The Spartans in Halo: Reach we're Spartan III commandos (they weren't suicide soldiers like the other Spartan III's). Some of the Spartan II's on Reach survived by meeting Doctor Halsey inside a secret ONI base. The Chief and Linda survived by fleeing Reach on the Pillar of Autumn. The Pillar of Autumn arrived at Halo and was quickly shot down by pursuing Covenant forces. It is at this point that CE starts. Master Chief had picked up Cortana before the Autumn could crash.

#517 to #178 - 2scared2login (08/11/2013) [-]
Ok I am here ot correct you: The Chief is the last "alive" Sartan 2. The rest are either dead or have disappeared, but to maintain the "invincibility" of spartans, they have been listed as "MIA" (missing in action). This excludes a couple Kelly, Fred, etc. Spartans from the books who are trapped in a forerunner shield world like the Diadec was in Halo 4 (albeit a nice place, not a prison).
Note: Those spheres are compressed slipspace fields and are huge on the inside, like surface area of multiple planets huge.

The Spartans in Halo 4 are Spartan 4's. These are not as awesome, more heavily modified by their gear than the Spartan 2's, but trained as adults in a couple of years and only slightly medically enhanced, unlike the Spartan 2's and Master Chief who are trained from 5 or six and physically enhanced a ton.

What about the Spartan 3's? They were in the book "The Ghosts of Onyx" and are trained yong as stealthy fire-and-forget weapons for sensitive targets. They were expendable.
#529 to #517 - 2scared2login (08/11/2013) [-]
Technically No, he is not the last spartan II. Trapped inside Onyx there is what remains of red team and some spartan 3's along with Halsey and Lt. Mendez
User avatar #189 to #178 - xchewsifferx (08/11/2013) [-]
in the video game universe yes, he is considered the last spartan ll left. In the novel universe he and 4 or 5 other spartan ll's are still alive

User avatar #191 to #20 - hugejuggernaut ONLINE (08/11/2013) [-]
Let's not also forget that both Sergeant Forge and Johnson were both Spartans, but were too early in the trail to get powered armor.
#524 to #20 - 2scared2login (08/11/2013) [-]
Interesting clip, but totally underwhelming on the elite's side. They all fought like jackals. None of them had energy shields, none of the mhad ranged gear, none of them moved besides running straight, the one that grabbed the shotgun could have crushed it with their hand before the spartan shrugged him off, etc.etc.etc.

Elites are, without their energy shields, without legit strength-multiplying armor, without their augmentation that make spartan 2's incredible by our standards, an even match in hand-to-hand combat with a fully equipped spartan 2.

Give them both energy shields (which are about equal) and it is still a draw. That clip was shameful (albeit cool).

And don't even ask about the brutes. 1 with virtually no armor almost smashed the chief into puddle of goo in 3 good single-hand punches.

(All this taken from the books, all considered canon)
User avatar #526 to #524 - lucarioveethree (08/11/2013) [-]
It's not like the Covenant don't advance their technology. Elite's don't have augments in their armor, as far as I know. If they do, I acknowledge my misinformation.

This was twenty years before the events of the first Halo. Maybe shields weren't standard issue at this time, and minor elites weren't equipped with them.

The point of the clip was to show that Spartans can be and are agile.
#89 to #11 - skroll (08/11/2013) [-]
Oh ok bitch it's quoting time: 'The Fall Of Reach'- Eric Nylund (The book in question).
'The man's (ODST no.1) hands came up.... with a hook to the floating ribs. Bones Broke.... brought his heel down on the mans knee.... then he stopped moving, his arm and leg and neck tilted at unnatural angles' (Dead: 1)
'The man with the iron bar (ODST no.2) swung a vicious blow at John's ribs.... John grabbed the man's hand.... twisted the bar and crushed the bones of the mans wrist.... (Disabled: 1) John snapped a side kick towards the second man (ODST no.3), caught him in the groin, crushing the soft organs ( **** ouch, Disabled: 2) and crushing the targets pelvis. John pulled the bar free- whipped around and caught the third man (ODST no.4) in he neck, hitting him so hard the ODST was propelled over the ropes (Dead: 2)'

So he only actually killed 2, but he ****** 2 others up pretty good as well... Good book overall though, shows how Commander Keyes was promoted to Captain Keyes when he did some ****** spaceship ****

The ones by eric nylund. There are 3 of them i think. Fall of reach is the first (events before halo CE), the flood is the second (halo CE storyline)(different author, its **** compared to the others but youll have to read it to keep up with the storyline), i dont remember the title of the 3rd book it was something like first attack or first battle, it happens between halo CE and halo 2. There are also other books but these 3 are the best since they are pretty much directly connected to the games
User avatar #65 to #51 - fargtwo (08/11/2013) [-]

you try being agile in armor like that
User avatar #75 to #43 - bensho (08/11/2013) [-]
The armor makes you agile. It's powered. The reason Spartans are the only ones that use it is because it (in laymen's terms) reads your thoughts. In one of the books, they tell you that the first person to use the MJOLNIR armor died because he tried to raise his right arm, and the suit went too fast and broke it. Then, when he flinched, the armor broke his spine. The Spartans are the only ones that have the mental control and strength to use the armor.
User avatar #654 to #75 - drewsky (08/12/2013) [-]
It's not just the mental control, it's also that they've been genetically enhanced.
User avatar #655 to #654 - bensho (08/12/2013) [-]
I said mental control and strength. The reason they have those attributes is because they are enhanced. But the enhancements are common knowledge, so there's no need to mention them.
User avatar #661 to #655 - drewsky (08/12/2013) [-]
My apologies, I thought you meant mental strength.
User avatar #138 to #75 - dyllygaf (08/11/2013) [-]
So basically, in that armor, all they have to do is THINK about moving instead of actually moving their limbs and just let the armor carry them around essentially?
User avatar #252 to #138 - randomnab (08/11/2013) [-]
Well when you move your arm you THINK about moving your arm. The armor is connected to your brain and it intercepts the signals you send and then augments the actions. Master Chief also has the added benefit of Cortana who processes data for him and relays his nervous signals giving him insanely high reflexes.
User avatar #256 to #252 - dyllygaf (08/11/2013) [-]
Ahh i gotcha, the armour heightens everything he does and cortana gives him spidey senses?
User avatar #259 to #256 - randomnab (08/11/2013) [-]
Nah, she just further heightens his reflexes. You know, you see a cannonball flying your way, first you gotta see it, then your eyes have to send the signal to your brain, your brain has to acknowledge the fact that there's a cannonball that's going to rip you to shreds, then process the info till it finds the matching solution (run the **** away), then send that command to your limbs. All that takes a certain amount of time. Cortana just cuts a few corners and does it faster.
User avatar #260 to #259 - dyllygaf (08/11/2013) [-]
Ahh, sounds neat thanks for the info!
User avatar #261 to #260 - randomnab (08/11/2013) [-]

They really seem interesting from what I've read in this thread so far, I probably will end up checking them out
User avatar #265 to #262 - randomnab (08/11/2013) [-]
The flood is written by a different author and it sucks balls. Its a literal synopsis of the Halo CE storyline "then master chief zoomed in and killed 256 elites with 1 clip of his pistol, then he picked up a jackhammer and blew up the sun cus hes awesome" but you still need to read it to keep up with the events. 3 and 4 are written by the same guy that wrote part 1 so they're really good.

Ok, since I'm bored and I'm a lore nerd, let me explain to you how a regular, run of the mill space marine is made.

1. You take a fanatical worshiper of the god emperor, who will gladly give his life for the cause without a moment of hesitation.
2. You rigorously train them both physically and mentally to become better in hand to hand combat, marksmanship, swordfighting and power ******* than any man in the known universe, complete with constant religious training to cement their loyalty to the space marine chapter and the big E.
3. Next comes the physical augmentations. The young space marine is implanted the genetic material of a primarch (the first space marines who are basically demi-gods) and go through a series of physical changes because of it. They become taller, about 10 times stronger, their ribs harden, widen and fuse into a boney bulletproof vest. Every bone in their body becomes nearly unbreakable. Then they get implanted 19 new organs that make their senses superhumanly sharp.
4) You implant what's known as the black carapace. It's a vest that's implanted under the skin of the torso. It fuses with the space marines' nervous system, creating a link between their body and their suit.
5) You give that ************ a suit. Bitches love suits. The suit features heavy ceramite plating that's harder than any metal known to mankind today, a fully enclosed enviorment that lets them survive in the harshest conditions and automatically heals minor injuries like gunshot wounds, a mechanism linked to the black carapace that mimics the space marines' movement, so the suit no only doesn't encumber them, but actually amplifies the marines' already awesome strength even further.

And that, kids, is how you make your regular space marine. The ones that are actually good receive far better training since birth and can basically use magic, but we're not talking about those right now.

Yes, but can they blow up planets? justsaiyan.jpg i gots me no image so here's the comment version. Also, why does one have to wait until they get the privilege of using photos and gifs? It seems to me that it's used to hinder the newcomer from using his imaging picking talents, but I know better.

Space Marines go through so many augmentations that they are pretty much immortal to Spartan Tech.

Even if you manage to be on of the handful of subjects who actually survive this process, you're still not even in the same league as a Space Marine who outdates your technology by 18,500 years at least.
Also, Spartan weaponry is just so weak. Boltgun is OP.

i wouldn't call it weak, just because it doesn't shoot rockets that are on fire whilst playing ac-dc and sounds like it was dreamt up by an 8 year old, doesn't mean its weak. Its still far superior to what we have today. The bullets from an ******* rifle can still shred a tank

If you'd have read my link, you'd have known that a spartan is nothing more than a fly for a space marine.

Heck, if it's like that, why not do Robout Gulliman or one of the other sons of the emperor to fight chief. Those guys are nearly immortal.

#237 to #219 - deaminzaints (08/11/2013) [-]
well lets make this easy then and even out the playing field.
humans advance, so does soldiers. master chief and the spartans are from the year 2517. now take all the features of a spartan and lets just add and ekstra power up after each 3 years roughly. now when were the space marines created? it says in the 3rd millenium so estimate about year 3000 then yeah? now what that means is that by the time the space marines are created, the spartans will have been upgraded roughly 166 times (500 years / 3 years for each upgrade) making them much more powerfull than space marines. in other words, the space marines can only win couse they have had more time to advance than the spartans. next time, even out the playing field if you talk versus.

TL;DR spartans are made 500 years or so before space marines. if you give spartans 500 years to evolve then the winner is the spartans.
#319 to #237 - lordling (08/11/2013) [-]
Space Marines were actually developed in the 31st millennium but either way, the Spartans were all but extinct after Reach and they stopped developing the technology. I will admit to a lack of knowledge of the Halo universe, but if all the Spartans were stupid enough to group up on one planet and all get ******** then they couldn't cope with the seven shades of hell the Imperium will kick out of them.
#332 to #319 - deaminzaints (08/11/2013) [-]
i see your lack of knowledge of the halo universe and i raise with my own knowledge. Reach was the planet were the spartan program was founded and where all spartans were developed. spartans dont magically appear you know? reach got attack and completely invaded by the entire covenant armarda, basically billions of aliens with laser weapons all shooting at a facility with about 100 spartans. yeah about 100 only. and the spartans (under surprise attack and cut of from the rest of the human race) plus the few human soldier on reach still managed to kill a buttload of alien *** (roughly a few millions but who keeps score right?) which the aliens didnt take to kindly too. so they destroyed the planet. the only survivng spartan was john-117 was flown away and was alive.
after reach the goverment then created more spartans. basically spartan project 1 and 2 died on reach and after that spartan project 3 and 4 created more. the new ones are weaker but there are more of them.
what im saying here is that the original spartans were 100 vs a few billion ******** armed alien forces and still took a good bite out of them.
given the time to evolv for as long as the space marines and then have as many spartans vs space marines in a death match, im pretty sure the spartans will win.

TL;DR you forgot how i said that spartans would win if they got as much time, you only stated that my time frame was wrong. spartans didnt go extinct, the programs were just altered and new spartans were made. all of them were on reach couse that was were they were born and im guessing that you think space marines are some sort of immortal gods, wich means you havent see MC fall from orbit, hit the ground like a meteor and walk away like it was nothing. (watch opening scene from halo 3)
User avatar #382 to #332 - guidedhand (08/11/2013) [-]
actually the spartan 1 project (or orion? i think it was) weren't that strong, the only member of that ***** that you know of was actually Johnson (which explains how he was always such a ****** ). The spartan I program actually makes you immune to the flood and theres a ******* backstory with the human-forerunner war. Im also pretty much certain that not all of the spartans died on reach. (and im only talking about spartan II)
#672 to #382 - deaminzaints (10/31/2013) [-]
late reply buuut whatever.
spartan project 1 was not made to become immune to the flood, the flood only started spreading after having been released by the covenant on installation 02 (in the first halo game). by the time the flood has been released, the spartan program 3 is allready ongoing and reach has just happend. so thats just wrong, Johnson is completely human. ****** ? yes, spartan? no. the backstory of the forerunners and everything is that humans fled from the flood and ran into the forerunners, they had a war and forerunners won. then the flood wiped out the forerunners and so to counter that they just wiped all sentient life with the halos and caught a few flood and locked them up in installation 02. skip a few thousand years and boom, covenant opens the storage and **** happens. lastly, there was 1 other spartan who survived reach but he later died.

User avatar #602 to #600 - guidedhand (08/11/2013) [-]

Bro, they're both science fiction. We don't even know if the agments of spartans and **** or whatever are actually possible to do yet.

I'd like to submit my opinion for review:
Spartans could never beat a Space Marine. This is fact. That argument is done.

Now for the fun part. I like to pretend that Halo is in the same universe as War Hammer 40k ONLY that they are the ancestors of the humans in the 40k universe. Spartans are essentially proto-type Space Marines anyways. What with the enhancements and power armor. Obviously there are major holes in my idea but considering how much time there is between 2525 and 40000 it's not far fetched.

Just to clarify: Spartans would never be able to survive in the 40k universe. That's why humanity depends on Space Marines to protect and fight.

Personally, I dislike the debate, because Space Marines were just made stupidly overpowered. I still love space marines, but they're purposefully made to be these unstoppable tanks of organic material with tank armor on top of that. The members of the SPARTAN programs are purposely made much stronger than their fellow humans, but not much stronger than most of their enemies, because it's showing the despair of humanity, the fact that even the best of the best of the best that humanity has to offer can only stem the tide so much.

It's two different stories, thus two different soldiers. One leads the armies of a glorious empire spanning the galaxy and being only somewhat challenged, the other stands as the last defense against an unstoppable enemy that would drown you in their own blood before surrendering.
User avatar #513 to #504 - solidderking (08/11/2013) [-]
one difference is, that the Spartans ( as far as i know) doesn't fight against " dark gods" immortal robot zombies(necrons) and insects(?) that are able to devour the whole galaxies
furthermore the humans in halo are building there " empire " right now and the humans in Wh40K are just defending it because they are not able do conquer more
