On the whole Jorge staying behind thing. Wouldn't Jorge have had Noble 6 stay behind and light up the slipspace drive instead of himself? Weren't the S3s more expendable and made for that kind of thing?
Jorge thought of Six as a much more capable SPARTAN. It's not like Six had much of a choice, as Jorge pretty much forced Six off the ship. What bothers me is the fact Six survived that. John-117 had more advanced armor and used a huge Forerunner metal plate thing to stop himself from melting or something in his atmospheric reentry. What's Six's excuse?
A SABRE re-entry pack on his back. It's visible in every cutscene after he gets out. It's also not very well hidden, either.
Oh. Oops.

I didn't mind Jorge sacrificing himself to save the planet, even if that was a little over-dramatic. (I actually teared a tiny bit in that scene.), or any other emotions connecting him to the planet or Halsey.
But he should NOT have been that way with the girl on WC. He's a Spartan 2, any emotion other than to Halsey/Reach should have been crushed long ago. That part should have been given to any other Spartan 3 (besides Emile, of course.)
This. In addition, I did think he said "mom," but I thought nothing of it as, if I'm correct, it's written that the IIs pretty much saw Halsey as that. Though her reply was a little odd if it would have been mom. So I wasn't surprised at the revelation he said "ma'am."
But you can probably argue something about Jorge just being different from every other II in this one way. Bleh. I still think it doesn't excuse it.
