Subject: Can a SPARTAN cry or get very emotional?

if i remember rightly master Chief has ADD (attention defict disorder) and generally people with ADD dont extrovert (show) very many emotions and if they do it's ussually anger (but i could be wrong)

Maybe it's like a Jedi: They feel emotion, but vent it in a way not visible or affecting anything or anyone around them.

Wasn't the Chief shaking like crazy when he first faced the Flood?

Then again, who wouldn't?

seventh coloumn pride

no they were trained from the age of seven to spit in the face of death, so what im getting at is they were trained to not be emotional

  • 12.08.2010 5:31 PM PDT

I don't care. I really don't.

They very much have emotions. They just don't show them becuase they are trained not, but their emotions are the same; they were born human and their augmentations weren't as extreme as many explain or think they are, and emotions are a very prominent survival instinct in human life.
When you look at a Spartan and compare them to a real life, battle hardened soldier, the similarity is striking, therefore confirming that Spartans have as much emotion in them as any human, they just don't have the time or the tools to show it, as been said before. Plus, because of their way of life, it just might be that they are also ashamed by showing too much emotion as it they probably see it as a sign of weakness.

Examples of their emotions are actually heavily in the books, and although many take their silence and hardiness as emotionless, it's actually a sign of shock where they are deeply emotionaly disturbed, where they can do nothing but what they are used to; in this case, killing things.

If they were emotionless, they wouldn't care, wouldn't smile, wouldn't laugh, wouldn't get angry, wouldn't feel the need to avenge, wouldn't be sad and wouldn't be upset over deaths of teamates and these are all things we know Spartans have done before and continue to do in the canon (John upset over Sam Johnson, Noble over the deaths of other members of Noble, etc.). They have emotions, just do not show them.

They aren't devoid of emotion, they just have little emotion.

What a waste....

John cries when Linda dies the first time, I think.

  • 12.08.2010 7:17 PM PDT

I think they learned to rid themselves of certain emotions.

Yes, easily uneasily. SPARTANs are trained to be soldiers, super soldiers. They are monsters because of traumatizing years of training.

Make one cry, give yourself a cookie.

My jokes, so I don't lose them (ignore this):
ZedFish's Opinion on Sgt. Foley.
ZedFish's Forerunner Rickroll.

Spartans, to my knowledge, can cry.

They do experience emotions, and normal feelings.
They're just faster, stronger, smarter, taller, awesomer, they "suited up!", and they're in control.

They've been trained to hide it. I'd say under intense, uncontrollable stress or pain, Spartans would show emotion and/or cry. Difference being, where it takes x amount for a regular human to show emotion, Spartan training probably makes them a hundred times less likely to show emotions. Maybe more.

Like... I forgot, someone's post... Soldiers will not cry on the battlefield, but off-wargrounds is a different situation. Before MC got in Johnson's Pelican to leave to exploding eighth halo ring, he may have cried under the mask.

Can SPARTAN-IIIs breakdown at the slightest bit? Since their augmentations are on a lower level.

  • 12.10.2010 6:59 PM PDT

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

They can, it's just that they are taught to keep it down and bottle it up. For instance in Ghosts of Onyx, a character (a spartan woman whose name escapes me at the moment) goes into shock after losing almost 300 other spartans/her "family" in a matter of moments.

Yeah, I can't remember if she cried or not. I'm pretty sure she teared up.

PROMETHEUS and TORPEDO were like two of the most sentimental battles ever. Seeing Shane fighting with Jane and Robert like that...and then Tom and Lucy's survival. Those just really got to me.

And then Noble Team screwed both of those battles for me because other members of the company were still alive...

I don't think she cried, but she did go mute, which was what SnoFall was referring to, I think.

And regarding Noble Team; "Pulled before the battle". Seems a little "meh" for an excuse, but it'll do.

I have ADD and I rarely ever get violently angy, and as a kid I was a complete crybaby (although I actually cant remember the last time ive cried, its been years). I dont think your facts are quite straight

As the Spartans in ancient Greece, the Spartans have been trained to show no fear, or grief, or they are viewed as weak. They are taught only to be strong and to put their emotions aside, and focus more on the salvation and protection of humanity.

  • 12.10.2010 10:01 PM PDT

Johnson is rumored to be a spartan I and did he get emotional when Comander Keyes died YES

  • 12.11.2010 3:42 AM PDT
