Subject: About Red Team...

Posted by: Skibur
inb4 everyone.

Edit: When did this thread become about the Defiant Map Pack and flaming Halo Reach?

Edit 2: SEAL Sniper 9 de-railed it. You bastard.

So I've been learning about Red Team. I had always heard of them as being the biggest badass' of the spartan teams, but after reading the bland general knowledge in the halo wiki, they seem like just another spartan team. Where could I go to learn more in-depth information about them?

Read the books themselves...

First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx will have the most info on them

^This, and read the books, they give a lot of info about Red Team, I however don't think that they were really particularly bad ass except for Will, Fred, and Kelly. I didn't see anything really all that special and worthy of being set apart in the rest.

Yeah, but that was the bulk of 'red team' for the mission, which was pretty much every Spartan II deployed on the planet.

That is true, but I'd expect any other Spartan to do about the same :P I just see them as bad ass as the rest of the Spartans, it'd be cool to learn more about them though.

inb4 everyone.

I guess it's a good thing I just bought Fall of Reach and First Strike. As for the radios, I've only heard banter so far, but I'll look into those too. Thanks guys.

On a side note, the first forum ban of my life ended today. Even better, Urk replies to the first thread I make after the ban!

Are you mad that Certain Affinity and 343i captured more of what Reach was really like in a single map pack than your whole campaign?

  • 04.04.2011 12:00 PM PDT

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

Uh huh... Are you mad that Halo Reach didn't show you The fall of Reach exactly and gave you a different viewpoint?

Yep, I am. Considering they barely showed anything of The Fall of Reach and put in some bulls*it story to make it even worse.

Regular marine vs wraith = very dead marine.
Red team spartan vs wraith = destroyed wraith with spartan fist marks/ hijacked wraith killing tons of grunts.

A different viewpoint that showed very little of the actual battle and retconed everything else about the battle just so what few things Noble did do could be considered important.

Yes. I would like a response on this.


And if you don't like the answer due to us not knowing what is in the halo story bible?

Spartans never die... they just revert to last checkpoint.

So by "halo story bible" you mean a book of everything about halo that ISN'T canon?

That's what I get when you call it TheBookofHaloLies

The story of Reach was in the bible sinse at least Halo 3 ODST era,as the memorial at ONI alpha site says the fight on Reach begun on the 26th of June.

  • 04.05.2011 3:26 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Watch Red vs Blue, it has a tonne of info on Red team.

Should of made an action packed uber-game about them, really going out with a bang... instead of the B-list cliched characters we had to endure in Halo: Reach...

Halo Story Bible, as in the ultimate canon information written by the creators of halo, and only available to 343 and Bungie employees.

When did I say "The book of Halo lies"? It sounds like you are simply trying to say "I get to decide what is canon."

Nobody would have minded the story we know being changed had it been replaced by a show-stopping story itself. Instead however we get a half-arsed story about a team of spartan IIIs that shouldn't exist and do things that are generally mundane, boring and pathetic for a Spartan.

Stories are told of Heroes, not of those guys over there that -blam!- about for a month or so and got killed.



As for OP: I see Blue team as the Special forces recon/black ops team, and Red team as the brute force lets blow the -blam!- out of them quickly and efficiently without them knowing who did it special force.
