There is nothing in GoO even implying that, as he says is that he is trading lives for time. Ackerson didn't change because he had no reason to, the Spartan IV project was going to have halsey working under him, which says enough.
No reason to change? A -blam!- alien collective intent on our genocide might make someone pause and look at themselves for a second, you know. Why wouldn't he have Halsey work under him -- she proved herself unreliable and would probably serve better as a subordinate anyway, where Ackerson has proved himself as a strong leader and director -- he's not a Colonel because he owns a chain of fried chicken stores, you know.
Regardless, more Spartan IIIs should have gotten Mark V or Mark IV. Both would have helped far more than SPI armor.
Why? It's incredibly expensive and SIIIs aren't that much better than your ordinary soldier -- to outfit every single company with Mark IV would be astronomical in cost; SIIs are leaps and bounds above SIIIs in ability, so obviously they get the newest armor straight out of the labs. You might as well be asking why all ODSTs don't get a power-suit of some variety.
Confusion. So we clearly see that halsey cares about the SIIs through her actions yet we cannot say that for ackerson? He was ecstatic about creating more and more spartans he didn't care for them as humans whatsoever.
Thanks for starting off your paragraph like an Elcor, it was helpful. Halsey cares more for her SIIs than Ackerson his SIIIs, of course. That doesn't mean Ackerson doesn't feel guilt or shame or grief whenever he sees that hundreds of kids have died because of his project, even if it did buy humanity a few more grains of sand in the hourglass.
We can do this all night, grey. I'd rather not.
I don't get what you are saying since the SIIIs were created for the pure purpose of fighting the covenant. So you talking about ackerson "changing" isn't adding up since he didn't do anything different with any of the groups.
You do understand i mean outfitting them with the no longer used Mark IV right? It shouldn't cost money to give something that isn't used. As for Mark V i am saying if ALL of NOBLE team go it then it shouldn't have be hard to re-route just a few sets to the other spartan IIIs. By Time Mark VI was out it shouldn't have been hard to give the new SIIIs the old armor.
Actions speak louder than words. If he felt bad he wouldn't want a private personal army nor would he want his own grim reaper.
I still don't understand where halsey messed up. So her kidnapping kids under government authority is "wrong" yet ackerson asking 3-5 year old kids who have no idea what they are getting into is right? As for the cloning all of that is hyped up by karen, one parent isn't going to magically put all the pieces together when they are spread so far apart.
