Not sure if this goes here, but if you were to choose in real life, Years from now, to be a spartan (even though they were chosen by ONI-They had no choice) WOuld you do it?

Risking every thing to protect humanity from whatever major threat might be lurking in your world. To become the worlds strongest, mightiest soilder. Training every day, nearly all day for many years. Going through many augumentations and pain. Knowing in the end, you will be honored by every soul.

Would you?

Spartan II? Hell no, Spartan III? Sure!

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

I would, without much of a second thought, most likely as a S-II though, seeing as we wouldn't be sent on the complete suicide missions, I'd want a fighting chance to survive. :3

Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick!

spartan 2 for sure
why? stronger and faster than spartan 3's. They were more expensive to create and therefore more bang for the buck

No. Not the type of life I'd want to live.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

ODST, best of both worlds. LOL
That's if I had a choice.

S-II, you don't have a choice, you get picked. Like it or Not.

S-III, well if I was a kid orphan and had a chance to save Humanity.... well obviously.

  • 07.06.2011 3:48 PM PDT

ODST because they are just as awesome, and they get just as much action, and they didn't get wiped out

  • 07.06.2011 3:56 PM PDT

Spartans are awesome but I wouldn't. I don't want to risk being a cripple or just being used like a weapon. ODST maybe because they see lots of action and there is no risk of becoming a cripple. Spartans are seen by some as machines rather than people. Also Spartans 3's are sent on suicide missions while Spartan 2's are sent on nearly impossible missions. ODST is the right balance for me.

  • 07.06.2011 4:10 PM PDT

Well it would completely suck to be taken away from your family as a small child to be a spartan II

  • 07.06.2011 8:03 PM PDT

lol people didnt volunteer for the job they were kidnapped.
but sure being a spartan II would be badass

  • 07.06.2011 8:05 PM PDT

If you had a choice, would you? Well, if you chose to become a Spartan II, you would be throwing your life away essentially, for a greater good. You would sacrifice your social and personal freedoms, because once you become a Spartan, you are no longer a civilian, let alone human. I assume Spartans see themselves as an inferior sub-species, in fact I think that is what one Onyx Sentinel classified a Spartan as at one point. As a Spartan, you serve a purpose greater than yourself, a guardian of mother Earth.

If I had a choice, would I do it? My answer has not changed.

Agreed. Even though they're augmentations are less than the II's I'd be a really good III.

I'd be very very strategic which I use to plan out my tactics in every fight.

Very intelligent on what I do.

I'd be a very very skilled Hand-to-hand combatant

I'd be silent but talk more than 117 and Noble 6

I'd be a Reconnaissance type because I love stealth.

Weapon of Oppression

I wouldn't even bother joining the Unsc military.
I might become a cripple or just have an increased chance of dying if I
Became a Spartan 2. What's so baddass about it, if you can't enjoy it ?

Becoming a spartan 3 would mean that I would be sent on suicide missions with an almost 100 percent casulty rate.

And becoming an odst, is practicly the same as beoming a british SAS
Trooper, if you want to become an odst, then why not join the actual marines ?
Only those that have never been in combat or war, would even dream of becoming a spartan....pssh children.

Umm there is a very high chance you may become a cripple if you join the ODST.
Ever think about what it would be like to be put in a stifling suit of heavy armor and forced into the cramp confines of an essentially metal coffin dropped from high orbit, only to be broiled alive by the intense heat produced ?
Imagine being killed upon impact with the ground...ouch.

Or you get crippled by the augmentation process. The Spartan-IIIs got similar augmentations that did the same thing, but were safer.

They are the same augmentations but without the complications (Spartan II's needed the growth pellet because of the metal grafted into their bones, Spartan III's didn't because the chemical cocktail that they got, reinforced their bones and thus, didn't need the metal or growth pellet).

Too bad most of them died after one mission. They are suicidal soldiers. Only a select few got to serve elsewhere.

Each group served plenty of missions before their suicidal mission.

Expendable, yet highly effective at what they did before they were faced with impossible odds no Spartan-II could endure.

  • 07.07.2011 1:00 PM PDT

Despite the risk of death, or deformity from the Augmentations,I would become a Spartan II
