Subject: The Spartans on Lone Wolf

Trussingdoor is pretty kewl. He fires lasers and doesn't afraid of anything.

I've always hated that it's impossible to copy some of their armor colors. But that isn't the point. The point is, why is it that almost all of the spartans have military coloring, and yet the only two with sniper weapons next to them (implying that they were snipers) are also the ones with the odd coloring. Red/silver and White/white aren't exactly discreet.

Does anyone else find this odd?

I think it's randomly selected armor for the dead corpses each time... but are they different colors each time as well? I feel like that might be the case.

Nah. The one in the dirt path next to the drop sheild is always white, and the one by the sniper rifle up on the platform is always red and silver.

As far as I knew, the colors you could copy perfectly. It was the fact sometimes their helms and chest pieces would be combination of different armors that you couldn't copy.

Anyway, White armor is very discreet in a snowy terrain no? Who knows where they came from, and since Spartans don't change their armor color on the fly...

Edit: Every time you play it the armor will change. What doesn't change is the armor color and gender of the corpse.

SPARTANs are good at everything! Who knows, maybe those poor saps just happened to have sniper rifles in their hands when they died but they were actually much more proficient in beating an elite's face in mano a mano. D:<

Nah, some of the ones in and around one of the buldings have uncopyable shades of tan. Sux, too, cuz they look good in that color most of the time.

the spartans were likely survivors 6 met up with from across the entire planet, who knows, maybe their environments called for the odd colors.

I'm calling Gauntlet, Red and Echo.

Anyway, I'm sure that their colours are simply individual preference, a la B312 (canon), or simply just coded as a "Oh, to hell with it, this'll do" pseudo-easter egg ("real").

Gauntlet or Echo. Seeing as Red was elsewhere.

Sorry, reflex.

...unless that mountain in the background is Menachite, and the last stand area a part of that base that-I-can't-remember-it's-name in First Strike...
o.O

Nah. Unless there's also a Red S-III team, which is unlikely.
May I add though, when were Red Team assigned to Evac. Ops? Perhaps there is a III team...

It's where Bungie employees died during playtesting, and their armor.

I would know.

Yeah, because the II's wore other armor than default Mark V and the III's had MJOLNIR.

The base is CASTLE Base :)

And it wouldn't be impossible for there to be a Spartan III team called Red Team, as Bungie was originally going to have Carter and Kat from a SIII team called Blue Team.

And they scrapped that idea because people would get confused with S-II Blue Team, the exact same scenario would apply with S-III Red Team.

I'm not saying there is, I'm just stating that Bungie was originally going to do that, and it's still not impossible, just unlikely.

Godlike

They must be Spartan-II's because all Spartan-III's except Noble Team wore Semi-powered Infiltration Armour and not Mjolnir like Noble.

No, no no, CASTLE is under the mountain.

I meant, there's an outpost that Red Team, I think, holds out at with some Marines.
I'll dig it up.

I think this is it:
Orbital Defense Generator
Facility A-331

Fred looked over the battlefield from the top of the southern
bunker, his temporary command post. The structure had been
hastily erected, and some of the fast-drying instacrete hadn't
fully hardened.
The bunker was not the best defensive position, but it gave
him a clear view of the area as his team worked to strengthen
the perimeter of the generator complex. Spartans strung razor
wire, buried Antilon mine packs, and swept the area on patrols.
A six-man fireteam searched the battleground for weapons and
ammunition.

It bears striking resemblance to the last level of Reach: "Southern Bunker" (Perhaps like the mini-tower with the MG on it), "Fast-drying Insatacrete" (The structures of Lone Wolf were concrete, so it's possible), etc.
It's a loose connection, but there's more similarities than differences.

As for the "Generator Complex", what about that thing in the distance on Lone Wolf, where the MC model was found? Perhaps that is the Generator?

Of course then that cracked mountain, which I have a feeling could be Menachite, looms on the horizon.

Fear the Unicorn

True, but since when did spartans in halo reach ever use color camoflage? Carter and kat are blue, and Jorge is Yellow and Red! I think spartans are unconcerned with hiding and more of run and gun types, other than S-III using SPI.

OOOOH, that base, yeah, I suppose it could be that. I've never really explored Lone Wolf all that much, so I haven't seen all that much of this stuff.

Actually, they reference somewhere that the Spartan III's pulled from the main groups (To operate as headhunters or special teams like Noble) received more advanced armor, whether that means MJOLNIR or something between, who knows.

And in the radio on Breakpoint, it says that Red Team is heading to "boneyard".

However, the radios also tell that Beta Red charged a Covenant armor column and the related divisions, and that the Majestic bombarded the whole area to bits. Are there any massive craters near the area? Even so, why would the Spartans be at their original defense position?

They were headed to boneyard, but ended up not arriving if I remember the transmission correctly. As for the lone wolf structures, those are down where the Scarabs were fighting warthogs in the final part of PoA.

this ...this is the part that has really been bugging me...it seems to me that N6 just happend to waltz into the compound after it was attacked. I find it odd though.. why would bungie put this level in? Also why is there apparently a covenant presence there? It's been bombed out already and the covenant don't stay unless they have a reason. This is one heck of a mystery...
