~1000 Spartan-IIIs. Both Alpha And Beta had also over 300 during training.

~50 Spartan-IIs. Not less than 40, and no more than 70.


Retardo there was only 33 spartan 2's.

That's what made spartan 2's so much more special there were so few but posed such a threat to the covanant.


Not even close to truth.
hes right there were only 33 spartan 11s able to fight after the augmentations

This post alone makes me wonder why I even bother visiting this forum anymore.

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.

SIIs-150 total

75 entered training

33 survived augmentations

14 were physically crippled by augmentations

28 killed by augmentations

0 confirmed alive

about 20 MIA

about 50 KIA

SIIIs- about 950 total

Nearly all of them are KIA

Don't have very precise numbers on the SIIIs.

Erm, there's a couple problem with your numbers there. There were 150 POTENTIAL CANDIDATES for the Spartan II training, not 150 Spartans. Then the 75 entered training as you said, but at that point they were not really Spartans yet, only after the augmentations are they actually considered active-duty Spartans. So, on the surface 33 Spartan II trainees survived, but Halsey surgically "repaired" some of those who washed out due to deformities, as well as revived some of those who "died" during augmentations.

So the greatest number of Spartan IIs that were capable of being in active duty would be between 35-50, I believe. However, they were never active simultaneously; since some were killed or went MIA as others are revived, so there is probably only about 30 Spartan IIs active at any given time.

The Spartan IIIs are actually the ones with more concrete numbers, and that's at least 900.

@Manwith, neither you or your opponent there are completely correct, nor fully wrong, it's a difference of perspective, since OP didn't actually state a specific period of time.

(For those in misery, perhaps better things come after...)

Most people assume that football is a strict progression of foot to net, but actually, from a world-class, World Cup point of view, it's more like a small ball of leathery-weathery, airy-wairy... stuff.

I'm not sure about Spartan-IIs, those numbers have constantly been in flux.

Spartan-IIIs:
- Alpha Company (300)
- Beta Company (300)
- Gamma Company (330)

= 930




I believe that at beginning of Reach there were somewhere of 25-30 spartan IIs

Then at beginning of FS there were around 8, i think, Will, li,kelly,john,fred,linda. i believe im missing a few.

li and will died. i belive the other four surivived. soo probably 4 S IIs left when all is said and done?

35 Spartan 2's that survived I think.

Yes. I think thats correct.

33 operational Spartans after augmentations. Then a bunch died leaving blue team and half of red

Friends before pixels.

We know the names/call-signs of 43 Spartan-II's now.

There were 75 going into augmentation, and 33 that survived it.

Between 45 and 30 active duty Spartan-II's was the most at once. There was Soren, though, who wasn't active duty, but made an escape from an ONI facility after being assigned a desk job if you want to count him.

But, the numbers were always fluctuating what with ONI and Ackerson possibly taking "their pick of the litter" and Black Team becoming, well, a black team (like, off-the-records). It was hinted that Section III and Ackerson always wanted "headhunters" so it's impossible to confirm the amount of Spartan-II's.

False, about 300+ Spartan III's are still alive.

dont forget about the "death" of 051 Kurt.

  • 02.25.2011 6:51 PM PDT

I have no idea how many SII's there were, but there were at least 900+ SIII's

Currently on the Halo-timeline, we have about 341 Spartans. II's and III's.

They were mainly Gamma company and SPARTAN-101 Victor, Black One, Black Two, Black Three, SPARTAN-058 Linda, SPARTAN-087 Kelly, and there are two that are not in battle, but alive; SPARTAN-137 Carris, SPARTAN-062 Maria [RETIRED]. Tom and Lucy are there, too.

Oh, damn man. I'm sorry. I thought everyone had finished the book :S

Sorry again...

its k. im just reading them to get an understanding of the universe. what book comes next that i need to read?

Tbh what confused me happened in FS. They were repairing a router on Hybrid vessel Ascendant Justice-Gettysburg. when they were hit by a rogue (hehe) plasma bolt. From wehat i gathered chief was only who surivived. But as you read on he passes out again and wakes up in the company of the Spartans. What did i miss?
