This isn't anything to do with the topic, but in stead of making a new thread-
On the cover of Ghosts of Onyx, what rifles are the EVA-wearing Spartan and the Mark V-wearing Spartan carrying? They look like BR's, but the barells look too short.
MA3A Assault Rifle, I think.
I think it was the MA5K, which was the shortened, carbine version of the regular MA5C/B.
And, Emile, Carter, Jun and every member of Noble Team (save for Jorge of course) were taken out of their companies because they matched Spartan II genetic properties, so they were deemed to valuable to be sent to suicide missions.
Out of curiosity where is that said?
My understanding was that they were pulled out of their companies (along with all the other SIIIs that would be slated for other duties such as the headhunters) for having outstanding combat records. Now if I'm mistaken it's fine by me, though I would like to know the source for the correct reasoning behind this.
Here's the article.
Ah I see. You're referring to the line where Kurt mentions "we wind up with some that she would have chosen" yes?
Hmm...reading through this again I'm rather curious when adding in the mention of several successful recon teams (the basis for my original understanding) which I can't help but presume (terrible thing to do here I'm aware) refer to the headhunters and other pulled out IIIs, and if they also fill the criteria Halsey set out. Even then, I wonder what separates the Headhunters from the heavier MJOLNIR equipped Noble, and if more teams outfitted like Noble exist...I suppose time will tell if Traviss decides to get into it.
