I Am Spartan - 029, Also Known As Josh!

In multiplayer I think?

No, Spartans are cyborgs, sort of. They have neural implants, including AI slotted directly into their heads, and chemically-enhanced body structures.

There's a section in the Pillar of Autumn level that says something about them being cyborgs.

In CE we call them that because the tags for the Masterchief's biped that comes with HEK are literally named "cyborg.biped," "cyborg.physics," and etc. Also, yes Spartan 2's are cyborgs basically.

Spartan 3's maybe, but Spartan 2's had a lot more than just a fancy suit.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The whole cyborg label came from the instruction manual actually, the "story so far" (or whatever) section painted the picture of MC being a cyborg and the last of his kind.

It calls them Cyborgs in the "Edit Gametypes" menu as well. It's in one of the adjustments to the kill limit on Slayer Game Variants. (Yes, I've played the game so much that I remember that off the top of my head.)

There are also multiple sequences in the game where MC is called a cyborg. Most famous of these is by the Grunts: "Bad cyborg!" which is where the website of the same name got its name from.

It was originally planned to make Spartans Cyborg instead of just augmented soldiers in awesome armor as seen in E3 2000 Trailer where the MC clearly has a robotic voice.

I believe that the Master Chief is the only Spartan to have a built in A.I..

nope

All Spartan 2's wore Mjolnir armor and Mjolnir armor was built to contain an AI.

PS Spartan 3's are dumb. All they have is SPI armor and some tiny genetic enhancements.

They all have the augmentations. John is the only one that got to use that particular agumentation.
