CPO Mendez was mentioned as training the second class of Spartan-IIs, although he did indeed move on to the Spartan-IIIs after moving to active duty once more. After that point we hear no further mention of the second class of Spartan-IIs...
...unless you are the most hardcore/-blam!- Halo fan, and did the ilovebees AR game. The AI Melissa, a central character in ilovebees, is a 'Smart' AI, and was therefore created using a human brain. In her case, the brain of someone called Yasmine Zaman. If you delve into Yasmine's backstory, you'll find she was born in 2531. However, she died at a very young age - only fourteen. The reason?
She washed out of the Spartan-II, Class II augmentation process.
Therefore, we have confirmation of the Class II Spartan-IIs.
iLOVE BEES aint CANON!!!!! bungie have made that very very clear. it was a viral marketing scheme to entice halo fans into getting the next game, and to keep them guessing, give something a mystery and suddenly you raise the profile of it....
My personall opinion is that, yes there was a spartan ii's class ii, However it isnt mentioned in the books, because just like the spartan 3's were kept secret to halsay for a long time, they may have been kept secret from her and ackerson for a number of reasons, and someone else trained them.....
as for the NOVA-1 part of that video someone posted, thats most likely the Nova Bomb, admiral whitcomb told everyone about, he said, if i remember rightly, "our new nova bomb, we were hoping that those covenant ******** would take it back to their home world and blow themselves up with it...........
this would probably lead to the class 2's taking the bomb on a covenant ship, and taking it to sanghelios or some other covenant homeworld, where they would blow it up..... then after the war is over, when the arbiter returns home to see his world in dust, war starts again!!!!, my wishful thinking
but it could also be a prowler class UNSC vessel, becuase only prowler class vessels, or scout ship vessels ever had 4 letter names, look it up
