Ok so, even though we may have read all three books, beaten the game countless times over, and gone over any and every article or update with any info on the plot and settings in halo. But one thing i don't think many have caught on to, and wondered about (unless I'm mistaken) is one detail in the Spartan program. The Spartans like MC, Kelly, Will, Linda, etc, as we know them, are technically SPARTAN II's (II as in the roman numeral for 2). so then where does the 2 come from? were there spartans before MC and the like? was it a "failed" batch that's under the highest classification and cover-up? Or maybe just because of the historical spartans, and naming the project Spartan II was just because they are the "next generation", so to speak, of spartans, after those from history?
In the fall of reach it said that they tried to put regular humans in the battle suits but it was to heavy and killed them(project spartan), then so they made more stonger, faster humans known as the spartans to use the battle suits(project Spartan ll)
im pretty sure thats what it said in the book
