Well, since the Spartan/MJOLNIR Project has been a great success, I'm sure eventually more successors will be created. I'd like to know more about the III project though. Even though majority of them have been KIA on Reach I'd still love to hear news from them.
The II's are great, but they are the predecessor of the III's. The III's are the successor, and don't argue because for one, the III's had the biggest flaw that caused them to die, which was they weren't supplied with the MJOLNIR suits much like the II's were. Biomedical technology progressed at higher levels in late 2530s, allowing them to inject augmentations to the SPARTAN-IIIs in wider range of genetic map with 100% effective and no fatalities. And, SPARTAN-III and II's augmentations are SAME. It was just a different method. Only difference was the II's had the thyroid implant, and the III's did not. Thyroid implant made the Spartan taller.
III's are a big time successor and I see no reason to have a IV Project if they aren't going to technically continue the II and III's. If they want a different type of Spartans they can do a side group like the Head Hunters. Which I love. The III's excel the II's in most ways, the reason it doesn't look so is because they didn't have the MJOLNIR armor which increases their reactions, strength, speed etc by 2x or 3x.
My point being is, if there is a IV program, cool, but I don't think that's necessary because I still think the III's and II's are perfectly fine for now.
