Saskia regretted ever asking the question, but she still wanted the answer. Though I don’t have a quote in a book for you of those, I do have these two passages that might sort of help explain a Spartan’s thought processes:įirst, a Spartan III being questioned on what it felt like to go back to his glassed homeworld: TL DR: Spartan IV's act that way because they have their personalities intact.They do routine psych-evaluations, seemingly after every mission. We'll have to see how that plays out in H5-6. They're treating her like shes the monster and the Spartan II's like her minions. And she has been a thorn in their side for too long. They agreed to let her do the program, but it became expensive, ever since Halsey was not involved ONI has been making inferior Spartans. Any if the higher ups saw no point in the program, they thought regular troops and ODST would be good enough.Īfter how expensive SII's were, we saw cheaper versions of Spartans, more humane because it was cheaper that way.īut now that the covie war is over ONI will take it as an opportunity to get rid of Halsey. Mostly in cannon it points to how expensive Spartans are, they never made it a huge point about the Spartans losing their humanity. UNSC was just fine with the Spartan Program during the war. And because they are not broken down to tools of the military the Spartan IV's personalities are able to shine through. Spartan IV armor is cheap to produce, and because its humane its seen as ok in the eyes of the citizens. Best cheap and humane option? Make it voluntary. Yes the need a defense force, but at what cost? Certainly not another Spartan II or III program, Spartan II's are very expensive, III's are a little cheaper but still somewhat inhumane. Humans recognize how dangerous the universe is, but having all of their funds tied to every aspect of space travel is expensive. That's very expensive, rebuilding after the war, added with new ships and forerunner studies and such. The human covie war was over, it was humanities turn to explore and become a force for science, peace, colonization. I don't like them, but if anything they make sense in how things played out before 117 woke up. I've got so much more to say, but it feels like I'm rambling already. The absolute furthest thing from what a Spartan II or III would have done. Is winded by an Energy Sword that doesn't even breach his armor, and then knocked out by an Elite he wasn't paying attention to. He then goes on to touch an unknown object that had digitized the last person to touch it. Seeing New Phoenix in the Promethean Knight matrix, he gets angry and runs off on his own, despite his commanding officer yelling after him. Thorne is incredibly emotional and undisciplined, does not follow orders, and an awful fighter. Thorne is actually my least favourite Spartan IV. As it becomes cheaper and more viable to do so, why wouldn't you? It's the our "evolutionary future", and plays to the idea of humanity becoming top-dogs in the Galaxy and finally attaining the Mantle. One day, all of humanity is going to become a Spartan. These are not children who don't know anything else, these are normal humans with varying backgrounds and experiences. It illustrates just how advanced and pervasive the Spartan program has become, and will likely grow to be. Palmer knows exactly who she is, what her duty is, and she is incredibly serious about making sure her duties are completed.Īs for the rest of the Spartan IVs, I like the fact that they have personalities. Spartan IIs were also highly dedicated to their team members and cared greatly for one-another. So he did, and didn't give it a second thought after. He was at first conflicted, because they were his fellow soldiers, but he had to follow orders (which were to fight). John murdered a squad of ODSTs in a "training accident" that was entirely planned from the start under orders from a superior. Spartan IIs always followed orders, regardless of how they felt about said orders. Spartan Sarah Palmer, Spartan Thorne, Spartan Paul DeMarco, Spartan Jared Miller, etc) is probably the most Spartan II like Spartan IV we've seen. The first thing I would like to point out is that Spartan Sarah Palmer (as she is so rightfully called, as all personnel in the Spartan program are called "Spartan". The first, is that the majority of characters in the Halo universe have a limited scope of knowledge compared to our omniscience, and the second being that everyone significantly over values Spartan IIs simply because Chief is that "bad ass". I strongly believe that the negative opinions in regards to the IVs are largely unreasonable for two reasons. I'll be one of the incredibly few dissenting voices here, as I quite like the Spartan IVs.
