CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

In any case, the Spartan I Program was originally established as the ORION project, and was only later redubbed the Spartan I program when the CMA was rebooted
Except The Flood specifically says the program was established to create supsoldiers codenamed spartans.
Orion was started in the 23rd century, and in 2491 it was relaunched when UNSC and ONI took over CMA and dubbed the program Spartan I. Chronologically, there's nothing wrong with what I said. Even then, you don't hear everyone referring to the Spartan Is as Spartans, that is reserved for Spartan IIs and limited SP-IIIs.
Again, we're going off-topic, as the Spartan Is and IIIs are still not applicable for the "Spartans never die" directive. In fact, Johnson was one of the fallen at the memorial at the end of Halo 3, so that solves the OP's question.
