R.I.P. Noble team

They and another squad are mentioned in the cutscene right after "New Alexandria" and right before Kat dies, Kat asks why they were tasked with evacuating civilians I have forgotten the other squads name but do we have any idea who they are/were?

No then?

  • 10.31.2010 11:05 PM PDT

presumably they would be a team of spartan IIIs, as the spartan IIs were given colour coded team names, eg. red, blue green team etc..

R.I.P. Noble team

Yes and this would comply with the blade names Katana, Gladius, and Saber. Granted that is Gamma were talking about. With that mindset we can conclude that Red is the actual team of Spartan 2's on the ground, and Echo are another squad of Spartan 3's. Is that all we can think of without definitive proof otherwise?

I'd say so, unless gauntlet are mentioned elsewhere in the extended canon

Signatures are for squares.

The teams were Gauntlet, Echo, and Red.

We know for a fact "Red" refers to the Spartan II team, and the radio logs in the game detail Beta teams fight on the ground.

As for Gauntlet and Echo, they're spartan III teams. But they AREN'T Gamma company, unless Bungie retconned that too.


Spartan II squads: (Color coded.)
-Red
-Blue
-Green
-Gray
-Black

Alpha Company squads: (?)
Team Wolf Pack
Noble Team(The team mainly consists of Alpha's, but it could be the exception.)

Beta Company squads: Military alphabet.
-Foxtrot
-Romeo
-India
-Lima

"Echo" fits in perfectly here, so Echo team was probably another team of Beta company survivors.(Which pisses me off because I rather liked the idea of Tom and Lucy being the only survivors.)

Gamma Company: Swords
-Katana
-Saber
-Gladius

"Gauntlet" doesn't really fit in here, so, judging by the randomness of Alpha company's squad names, I believe it's a team of Alpha Spartan III's.

Red - Spartan II team fighting on Reach.
Gauntlet - Spartan III, Alpha company team fighting on Reach.
Echo - Spartan III, Beta company team fighting on Reach.
Noble - A mixture of all three teams.

Make sense?

R.I.P. Noble team

They are all good assumptions, and logically fit but Noble team has no Gamma company members + It's more likely they were composed of "Stray Dogs" Survivors from both companies and considering Nobles mix and designation its reasonable to assume that the designations may have changed as of deployment on reach as this is often the case when people in the military deploy to different fronts.

They could be a Mixture of S-IIIs from Beta and Alpha and S-II from Class I or II...with the exception of Red ofc.

Since we don´t know exactly how many S-IIs where at Reach, how many of those where from Class I and how many from Class II.

Do we now have a confirmed class II?

Class II started somewhere around 2537.

-Janissary James, her father killed the Kidnapper.
-Yasmine Zaman, she was conscripted, but died due to augmentation problems.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Team Gauntlet and Team Echo were Spartan-IIIs. But this is Gauntlet Team and Echo Team.

Both Spartan-III teams died YEARS before Reach. I don't think Bungie would do such a huge retcon of bring back dead people.

Also has anybody considered that these two teams may be Class-IIs?

It's not called Team Noble. It's Noble Team. Like Gauntlet or Echo Team, it fits.

As for Team Echo, the SIII's who died in OPERATION Prometheus (or was it Torpedo?) this could simply be actual survivors from this team....after all, Tom and Lucy made it off. Others could as well.....or, they can simply be recreating the team. Much as Noble Team only has 2 of its original 6 members left alive at the start of Halo Reach.

Gauntlet and Echo are likely primarily SIII teams, with possible SII membership (like in the case of Jorge).

----------

There are an unknown number of S3 survivors from Alpha and Beta pulled due to having S2 genetics by Kurt and Mendez.

We have the S2 Generation 1 class mostly mapped out.....but many of the washouts were fixable, according to Halsey's Journal, like Fhajad for example. Also, many of the ones who died were flash frozen, to be thawed, revived, and corrected later. Let's call them S2 Generation 1.5, as an unofficial arbitrary term.

Then you have the confirmed S2 Generation 2 class in 2537, of an unknown size.

Reach answered many questions, but created many new ones. There are, effectively, a very large supply of S2's and S3's that co uld be still active. Many are certainly hidden from public view, as implied in the Journal. Halsey wondered if the lie about all the Spartans available being at Reach would come back and bite her.....and this lie was to John's S2's. Clearly, they didn't know.

There once was a cool guy
who killed aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.
I'm talking of course;
about Gazzter Chief.
I r that guy
And I r gun teach you lesson.

Sorry, I didn't know about the confirmed SII II class. I knew it was speculated, but I didn't know it was confirmed. Is it in the journal or something?

Please fill me in, i'm really interested :)

Discharged
These were Spartans who became too wounded to continue active service after failed augmentation procedures. They have been permanently reassigned within the Office of Naval Intelligence, although Dr. Halsey stated that some might make a fully recover with rehab and re-enter service as full functional SPARTANs.

SPARTAN-005: René - Discharged. Possible rehab mentioned by Halsey
SPARTAN-018: Kirk - Discharged. Possible rehab mentioned by Halsey.
SPARTAN-075: Cassandra - Discharged due to failures in augmentation procedures, currently residing in the M25L Recovery Station.
SPARTAN-084: Fhajad - Discharged, sent to work for ONI. Suffered uncontrollable muscle spasms due to failures in augmentation, current status unknown. Image shown in Halsey's Journal for rehab.

Class II
After the graduation of the first class of SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, Dr. Halsey began planning for the next wave of Spartans; her efforts, however, ran into problems. There were too few candidates that were in sync with her age restriction protocol and a majority of her funding was going towards MJOLNIR maintenance and construction; leaving little room for continued training efforts. By 2531, the majority of her funds had been diverted and she was forced to postpone the effort indefinitely.

Around six years later, however, it seems that enough candidates within the right age were numerous enough to begin a second class. Six year old Yasmine Zaman was abducted and replaced by a flash clone just like the Class-Is, and taught in a similar way. She however, died during augmentations.

Another girl, Janissary James, was selected as a suitable candidate for training. However, her father, an ORION Project member known now as "James James", killed the to-be kidnapper.

It's all I got for ya, unfortunately. :(
