Tom, Lucy, and the other III's were very much worthy of the title, "Spartan."
As for Noble Team, they might just be the absolute worst Spartan's in Halo canon...
I agree 100% soooo much.
It's just too noticeable to simply put under the rug.
The way Nylund depicted the Spartan-II in the Fall Of Reach and the Spartan-III in the Ghost of Onyx in contrast to Noble Team just shows significant amounts of neglect by Bungie.
You have Professional Soldiers who were trained to the Bone to be the perfect soldier, following orders, being steps ahead, being in top physical and mental shape etc etc.I can just describe one scene
In this scene:
Jun:
His chatty nature shows lack of self restraint. Verbal discontent over the use of the word "imminent".Brings in negative atmosphere, useless input and decrease morale.
Betting with Jorge if Carter would listen to Kat?
Then questioning why Kat always has Carter in the Know?
A No-Brainer.
An example of lack of intellect.
Carter:
His inability to even contemplate where Kat was going with her plan. Negative Morale (Real Leader right.) Hesitation to even listen to her plan. "Fine, i'll hear it" WTF, what else are you gonna do ignore her and wait around doing nothing?
He doesn't see why Kat is bringing this up?
*GASP
He's surprised that the Leader of a group has to ask if he can authorizes the plan.
"There's no way in hell he's gonna go for this"
Next mission, Holland lets them execute the plan.
-_- great dialogging.
An example of lack of foresight and other things.
Jorge:
"What's going on?"
Ermm this is a bloody spec-op team, let alone a "Spartan" Team. Everyone keeps everyone in the team in the loop, you don't keep things out from each other. While he was standing around useless and chatting with Jun, he could of been part of the discussion.
Too bloody thoughtless.
Emile:
The mere fact that Emile has complete negligence towards a tiny thing called "Respect" shows detrimental signs. The way he reacts to Kat taking his kukri. They dumbed down his character so much to make him seem like an "alpha male" type figure, brawns over brains.
Too dumb!
Kat:
She's playing them all, Spartans are meant to be smart, she certainly outshines all of them.
She basically has to spell out her plan to everyone, draws a little picture in the sand and points out an obvious characteristic of a another team member.
Emile's reaction "You Scary!"
-_-
Apart from the way she died, i would say she's the most fitting as a Spartan. A bit patronizing a time but thats because Noble Team needs it.
I know this is just one section of the game, but it's stays true for the reminder of the game. This properly is an over analyzation but if you're gonna do something, do it right!
Especially when you have a Generation of Fans anticipating at "the story driven campaign"
The Spartan program was based on the stregth and courage of old age Spartans
Noble Team was, along with the headhunters, the bravest spartan team, they took several suicide missions without a second thought
