Were it so easy.

Since this is before Halo 1 we won't be called demon anymore if we play as Mastercheif. That kind of sucks because I liked being feared by the covenant as a legendary warrior.

You will be a squad of five spartans. The planet is burning around you. You don't have much to lose. The covenant probably don't have vocabulary to describe what horrific machines of death you and your allies are.

Yeah, now it'll be "Demons". Seriously, the Covies won't refrain from flipping out on us just because it's before Halo: CE; I'm pretty sure they've been called demons since like Harvest.

I'm pretty sure they only call Mastercheif demon because he blew up the halo ring and screwed the covenant over.

Plus ONI made the Spartans with the help of Dr.H and in Japanese ONI means Demon.

They generally mean the Chief, but there are examples of other spartans (and The Rookie from ODST) being called "Demon", including various instances in Ghosts of Onyx


Here you go

All spartans dress in similar MAJORLIN armour. Do you seriously think that the covenant will go, "oh wait, there is a bolt there in the armour instead of a metal panel, he/she isn't the demon!"? No!

They will see a squad of savage, superpowerful soldiers, ripping through any covenant opposition. The grunts are going to be flipping out, Chief or not.

However, back to the original topic of the thread, I wouldn't be surprised if the fear that the Covenant had of us isn't as great because Halo: CE hasn't happened. Grunts in particular seem to be braver in Halo: CE.

  • 10.16.2009 4:48 PM PDT

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

yeah. by the look of the poster there seem to be five spartans. their armor doesn't seem to be the traditional matching MARK V armor, which isn't sticking with the books.


but oh well. im pretty sure that they will fear you, because they have always feared spartans. elites will be back in, and the brutes will either be in small numbers or not in the game at all.

The armor issue is due to the size of the spartan, Grunts are the scareddy cats of the Halo games,Jackels will fight until they know their screwed then they'll run, Elites will stand and fight to the death.

yeah, i know that. but in the book they all had identical spartan armor. they may have had some height differences, but the armor was the same. in the picture, the one on the far left seems to have EOD armor.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Sam wouldn't be in Reach, unless they do one of the earlier missions in the Spartan's history.

Anyways, the Covies have called Spartans "demons" since... they first started to get murdered by them. Cole Protocol took place before Halo: CE, and Spartans were refered to as demons by some of the Elites (Including an Elite who would later become the Arbiter).

Dude, spelling fail on MJOLNIR. But that is true about Spartans being badass without having to be called "Demon".

MAJORLIN... lulz.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The "Demon" refer to all Spartans, it has nothing specifically to do with Master Chief, all Spartans are known as "The Demon" this is PLURAL as well as Singular. So they are not Demons they are simply The Demon (Yeah I made most of it up, but I really think it makes good sense, since demon has been used to refer to more than just the chief himself before)

get out of here stalker

Spartan=Death Machine
Death Machine=Terror
Terror=Demon

Except for the planet, a ton of marines, civilians, spartans, and pretty much everything on and around the planer.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

We were not feared in ODST, either. But it does not change how lethal we are.
