Sorry people, I think the conversation is good (aside random flame posts which will remain unnamed). SO I would like to continue it in a new thread if possible, rather then have to go through 16 pages (despite the icon which lets me skip to the last one I know), and maybe make this one devoid of any flaming.
Now I would like to bring props to Doom Sticks, Neophoebus, and CPO Raven, I liked some of the ideas that were coming out of them especially. In fact someone made me consider something new; what if Dr. Halsey wasn't after the Spartan 3s (assuming their existence)? Dr. Halsey studied the Flood a bit from the data she could gather, and even gathered information on a resistance to it; Sgt. Johnson's blood and nervous system structure. As a result, Sgt. Johnson now has a higher regenerative rate (Healing prowess we have yet to see). Dr. Halsey wants to save the lives of many, right? What better way to save the lives but by integrating a new healing system right into the blood of a person?? Maybe she's looking for live flood infection specimens (assuming another Halo in existence) so that she can use it's cellular structure to bond with humans and give all people a regenerative power?
Just a thought. Additionally, Doom Sticks brings up a good Point in the idea of Spartan-I. Maybe those WERENT in fact the Spartans of Greece. Not ruling out that it could be, but it's never definitively said that they WERE the Spartans of Greece, so its possible there were subjects before them. And again; who said that they were a failure? If they were top secret, they wouldn't be discussed.
Also someone mentioned how CPO Mendez would be about 70, and too old to train the New Spartan Groups. A good point, but think of life expectancy and its increasing rate. People now can live to be a bit under a hundred, and thats expected to increase exponentially with all the advancements in technology. By 2552 (Again, it's not stated to be 2552 AD!!), 70 might not be that old at all.
Thats all.
