she got the option as a reward for testing spartan based ordinance. considering most of the spartan 2's became "mia" from reach, it's pretty safe to say she lost her team in combat. to be fair, the chief is seeming to lose touch from a life of warfare. 343 is still fucking up the storyline though.

Good use of those dubs. Having female Spartans (hell, female Marines for that matter) is nothing more than SJW-tier grrrl power bullshit. There were no females except pilots in the first game. Should've stayed that way for verisimilitude. You don't see any female Elites or Brutes, do you?

kek, good luck doing that. You'd need a Spartan to kill a Spartan.

Also in instances where Spartans show emotions such as Maria-062 or John-117 in the new 343 shit, I think storing them as tools would be seen as unethical, especially after kidnapping 4 year old children to begin with.

It's also possible Maria-062 lost her entire Team on Reach, as Halsey listed an unknown Spartan as critically wounded and unable to participate in the battle, recovering afterwards.
A Spartan without it's team shouldn't be required for service.

There's also the possibility her augmentation process didn't go correctly, but that's -unlikely- as she's controlling the suit just fine.

tl;dr calm your tits.

John was very unusual, and he reunited with Blue Team anyways, though the makeup was changed as necessary.

Most Spartan II teams couldn't do that, but John is a one of a kind who's not the best in any one field, but such a good generalist and leader that he brought out the best in whoever he was teamed with.

Plus the Gen II MJOLNIR was a lot less expensive because it was a mass-produced multi-contract range of armor components over a standard bodysuit rather than a low-rate, single model with what was basically experimental technology at the time.

in fall of reach the first batch get pumped the fuck up on roids and other gene/surgical/chemical alterations that basically annihilated them sexually at puberty

they were throwing spaghetti at the walls in desperation, the Spartans all went through an artificial growth, so it's less of a stretch in that case that the adult females would be that much different than the males.

hell a good number of the "recruits" didn't even survive growing to adulthood from the alterations, anyone that did was a genetic fluke or just lucky, it's why there were so few of them in the first place.

Given the story of Halo it's a stretch that they'd even allow her to retire in any capacity, and from what we know about what the process did to their bodies it destroys suspension of disbelief that she could even conceive kids as an adult.

>Having female Spartans (hell, female Marines for that matter) is nothing more than SJW-tier grrrl power bullshit
While I would be agreeing with you if this was any other setting's space marines, the spartan program was highly experimental and was developed almost completely in secret with limited resources when it began. They didn't know what would work, they just threw the most scientific shit at the wall and made scientific notes on what sticked. The spartan program also started shortly before the covenant made first contact. I can't reasonably agree that first or second generation spartans are waifubait girl power bullshit. Anything after I agree with, but halo is 2-D, not 3-D where women are somewhere on the scale between complete dogshit and an actual trained dog in terms of combat potential.
>>
What is it about Halo that hits me right in the feels guys?
>>
>>34908339
spartan 1 program brought in 75 participants. halsey wanted 300, only found 150 candidates, and only got funding approved for 75. the participants underwent surgical modifications at age 14 and 33 remained combat effective. these are the ones that became the spartan 2's. the rest either died from the augmentations or were left crippled as a result from the surgery.
>>34908399
the lore behind maria is shit, but it's not like the spartans are slaves. they chose to remain in service. the spartans were chosen for their genetic superiority. shit there was even a spartan 1 candidate that was psychic; he never got captured likely due to this aspect. the likelihood that a spartan quits in the middle of intergalactic conflict is slim. but most of the spartans know nothing but warfare, so why not stay in the unsc and fight for humanity. there's even that shitty pre-halo 5 movie where locke finds a former spartan on a colony. he was marooned there due to the war on earth. after the war, oni found him and had his augs removed.

When you get down to it S-III was probably the worst program. It picked up hundreds of rejected S-II candidates, most of whom were war orphans by that point, gave them crappy armor and augment procedures that were far more experimental and risky, and deployed them en masse for suicide missions with loss rates as high as 100%.

At least with the S-IV they went back to recruiting as a SOF corps like with Orion, and the augment procedures were safe and reliable for adults to receive.

yeah, the spartan 3's pretty much were the orphan corps. they sure as shit didn't get the training or gear that the 2's got. only a handful got to actually live long enough to use mjolnir, and were pretty much wiped out with the invasion of onyx. they were necessary for the aug research and reinforcements that the spartan program needed. spartan 4's are pretty iffy though. they will never be on par performance wise with the spartan 2's. they come from odst and oni, but aren't handpicked and trained from infancy to be demigods of warfare.

It was the best episode, yes. Best addition to cannon is debatable.
That suit could've shit all over a Spartan Team with a basic Marine piloting it. The only downside is that the Marine inside and the suit usually are both beyond repair after usage.
Why it didn't get past prototype testing is beyond me when we see it fuck up multiple Phantoms and a small army of Covenant.

I think WORST addition to cannon aside from 343i shit is definitely the episode where an Arbiter wears a fucking kimono and duels kaiju sized Hunters.

They didn't really need to, though. Gen 2 armor could make up most of the performance difference, and they had greater numbers to work with.

it's a part of the "dr halsey's personal journal" that came with halo:reach legendary edition. my buddy forked over the extra cash for it, and i read it while watching him play in back in the day. the psychic spartan 1 was a precog from a "potato accident." caleb-095 was supposed to be it's spartan name.

It's not very good but better than all the other anime episodes aside from Odd One Out and Prototype, plus it's how people who don't read the books comprehend the kidnapping process.
The most distracting thing is how the story is pretty dark but the art style in contrast is moe moe weeb anime sheit.

And fair points, though I don't see how if Maria can just get her augs removed why her lore would be shit. As said there were unnamed Spartans who suffered critical wounds or who failed augmentation, either of which would put her in the position to retire.

most went on to continue to serve through oni. advisors and such. shit even the guy who pushed for the spartan 4 program was a spartan 2 wash out. i think the whole "make babies" thing is to suggest that somewhere along the line she found someone and it was known throughout the community. it could have been a distraction from her performance, possibly blew her security clearance, or even just a reward for not dying in a suicide mission that most spartans are given. like congrats, you lived. now you can retire from active duty and train soldiers in between pregnancies that will inevitably create genetically superior super soldiers.

not really dude. the whole look is just meme worthy in my opinion; which 40k is in general. when i read the text, i got a whole different picture in my head. even the tau seem more apt and effectively portrayed. i don't know, it's just not the image i get when i think of our saviors from the rape demons of chaos.

Well, 40k stemmed from Warhammer, which is just fantasy. If anything should bother you its the space orks. Yet again space fantasy is what they were going for.

Where I disagree with both of you is that I don't really respect the lore in that way. Think of how RLM talks about Star Wars. The series doesn't exist in a vacuum--pun intended. The whole female Spartan/female Marine thing didn't start in the main games but the "expanded universe," and I don't think that's a coincidence. It crept into the sequels more and more, and if you think this wasn't a deliberate attempt to weaken the perception of sex differences in 3D-land, well, I think that's a little naive.

Yeah, but the soldier itself didn't. The armor can go to replace another Spartan's if it gets damaged, and the armor is the expensive part. Having a spare can't be a bad thing.

Where do I start if I want to get into 40k?
My first introduction to it, aside from HERESY posting on here and /v/ way back, was that Space Marine video game third person shooter.

All I understand is like, religious space marines, space orks, cat girls are canon (?), chainswords and lots of killing heretics.

What is the most absolutely beginner way to enter the franchise's lore?
>>
>>34912939
just read the wiki about topics you find interesting, that is how I started and later played some games.

The imperial guard and the Tau empire has very intersting stuff
>>
>>34904383
Yeah but the Spartan backstory was always fucked. The animated short itself can't really claim that to it's own credit.
>>
>>34912939
i only follow the lore predominately. i've played dawn of war 1 and it's expansions back in the day, but it was pretty lackluster. i'm too broke for the table top. even still i wouldn't play based on all the rules you gotta know.

to start in the lore, pick up on the emperor and the imperium of man to start with. that'll lead into the primarchs and their legions. from there it'll branch out into the other races, the coming of chaos, the different foundings of space marines, and the impending doom of the entire 40k universe.

there's quite a few 40k enthusiasts on youtube. i use vaults of terra for understanding different aspects for lore. emperor text to speech for shits and giggles after you get a gist for lore. richard boylan is doing an amazing 40k miniseries about the campaign of helsreach:

>>34915934
the chief is only mechanical because everything went to shit and he ended up alone. If you read the canon books and comics, the deaths and disappearances of his teammates left him an emotional shell. Really all of his problems can be blamed on the covenant, and the training and augmentation had little to do with them.

Yeah considering Microsoft's Windows Store and that whole aborted fetus and the fact that it simply will not make money on PC it's probably not going to happen. But if you've got an itch for Halo there's Halo Custom Edition with the SPV3 Campaign, a Halo 2 Vista torrent, and possibly in the near future a Halo 3 emulation. Also they have Halo 5 multiplayer on the Windows Store for free.

Could you imagine being one of those troopers holding Chief back?

Your position is compromised, exfil is fucked, so the LZ gets moved a billion miles away. All the while your hoofing it through incoming fire just hoping some shell or plasma bolt doesn't have your name on it. Then the guy's head next to you explodes and you want to mourn but the training they jammed into your brain blocks that impulse and you just wordlessly watch the 7-foot tall giant in a green suit heft the guy like he was a grocery bag, and in the back of your mind you wonder if the green guy's even human anymore.

Then you finally get back to base and the CO is waiting for you to debrief and before you even get a word out Green Man goes ballistic, strutting towards the CO while shouting at the top of his lungs. And his intensity only deepens as they drag the body past with the chunk missing from his skull, and you and your bud can only pretend as if you're holding back a tidal wave with your hands that if it chose to fall forward just an inch, every bone in your body would snap, every ounce of flesh in your friend rendered into paste, and the stone-cold face of your CO smashed into unrecognizable pulp.

So you just stand there to keep up appearances, knowing that you're not actually holding back the Chief. And there's never a point in your life where you would ever think you could hold him back.

No they didn't. SPARTAN is just a military branch now. The Pillar of Autumn didn't carry ODSTs either. Why is it weird that the Infinity eschews them for a Brigade of Marines and roughly a Battalion of Spartans, why would they need ODSTs? It's a waste of space on the ship to have a third, middle tier option. Especially when by design they aren't really supposed to be long-term attached to any mission.

We'll, you'd be able to climb around gutters and such or clamber, not all guns would have a hud, ADS, lean around corners. Sprint with stamina. For example you could sprint up to a jackal to close the distance, Melee to stun it so it can't raise the alarm, and use that 2 second window to mozambique it. The only lethal Merle weapon would be the knife, which you would have to equip. Grenades should have to be equipped as well, and you are limited to 1 or 2 types at a time

It's always been a roughly made game with infuriating parts. Or did you conveniently forget the weird pop-in and awful ending for H2?

Halo 4 and 5 were at least solid on the gameplay, and like it or not 5 does take an interesting turn on the lore and the relationship between John and Cortana. And sets up for a huge conflict against AI dominance of the galaxy.
>>
>>34933712
Copy-paste COD gameplay is now "solid". Games are not allowed to have minor flaws. Desperate, overwritten new story is "interesting turn in the lore".

Literally no Halo game is good. The stories are garbage (and Bungie could do better; just look at Marathon), the gameplay is slow as fuck and super goddamn floaty, the weapons are mostly the same, and it inspired a generation of retarded faggot children who think they're weapon and tactics experts because they read the description for the assault rifle in the game once.

IIRC Chef was basically raised to be autistic so he'd be a more clear headed leader who wouldn't be emotionally affected by the deaths of team mates so he'd could make decisions clear headed.

In the books though they actually show him change and become almost pitiable over time, in First Strike the entire plot happens because he can't emotionally accept that all the other spartans, his family, are dead and leads a very foolish mission back to Reach to look for them, when he encounters some insurrectionists there's a stand off and he questions whether he could actually kill a human again and he destroys research on Johnson's ability to resist flood infection because if it gets turned in Chef knows he'll be dissected in an ONI lab on the off chance they'll find a cure.

90% of everything to do with Halo is pretty shit, but First Strike is a genuinely good science fiction story

Unrelated but reminds me of the only memorable scene in Fall of Reach when they showed some normy wear the Mjolner armour and he thinks about moving his arm and the suit reacts so fast it breaks his arm and that causes a whole bunch of involuntary muscle spasms which the suit interprets as movement commands and the movement breaks every bone in his body as he spams himself to death.

I miss Season 13. Miles really got into stride there. Then they do that shitty anthology season, making us wait to see the epic escape from Hargrove for another year.

Finally, after 18 months of waiting we get Season 15, and what do they do? Blow off their entire escape in a few sentences. And then go on to do one painful reference after another. The reporters are unlikable, the Blues and Reds are retarded, and the Unicorn dude turned out to be a red herring that disappeared midway through the season. Then they nerf Carolina and Wash, and conveniently get Locus out of the climactic fight.

It just all smacks of poor writing and a lack of anyone giving a shit. But since Fullscreen took over and they started getting tons of money from RWBY their website and RvB took a back seat to orders from LA. So the forums I spent over a decade on are dead and the only halfway decent show they have apart from Day5 (which is surprisingly good) has just had two of the worst seasons so far.
