their armor isn't finished yet, they will polish it and besides we only seen 1 armor variant, there will be more, and at-least one of them should catch your eye as "sexy".

Take note of the quotations. The core mind 343 came from lives, effectively meaning that 343 is "alive." Just not the exact same individual.

Red Vs. Blue = Canon now, calling it.

They wouldn't do this, just because the guys from Red vs. Blue were here since Halo: CE (which was before the S-IVs were created), but hell...that would actually be really awesome and so funny.

Other then multiplayer? They might take the position of ODST's in campaign as the elite soldiers.

D: That'd sadden me. Although, it would make sense if ONI is on the planet or some sort of UNSC faction. (may sound crazy, but anything is possible right about now).


It's just my idea--this new threat sounds extremely hardcore, we'll need the best warriors in the galaxy* and the SIV's would fit that role where normal humans don't.

*hmmm...that sounded a lot like Mass Effect.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

I don't think John and Cortana are going to be happy when they find out Halsey has been basically imprisoned. The Chief is going to waste the IVs

Somehow, I rather expect a new civil war within the UNSC and that the SPARTAN IV's are renegades or even non-UNSC forces from leaked information and schematics.

Spartan IV's are actually grunts in armour, obviously 2 per suit.

What the? That is like saying if all the humans on earth were to be killed they would still "live on" because of the other primates.

Except that we're talking about organics and machines. Think of the 343 we've come to know, the deceased one I mean, as a fragment, almost like what Cortana did in First Strike, except on a more advanced level.

Chakas Monitor is the main one, and 343 was simply a fragment of a personality from the main one.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I'm thinking this, also.

It is the same concept. 343 isn't alive through Chakas, it was the other way around. 343 didn't act anything like chakas.

I was hoping they'd resolve what the hell happened to the rest of SIII Gamma Company before they moved on to S-IVs.

Maybe that will be a tie in.

I'm saying that the core that built 343 Spark still exists, so in likelyhood traces of Spark's data and Chakas' data coincide with each other, which is why ONI registered Chakas Spark, though he really isn't.

No, it wasn't. They said nothing of the sort, and in fact said nothing about campaign or why they chose the IV's. They in fact have said that why the IV's are the multiplayer characters will become apparent later.

Could they be multiplayer only? Yes. But they have just as much chance of that, as being in the campaign.

Roberto I hate talking to you because even if i give you direct quotes to show you are wrong you just won't reply on them and still spread the nonsense. You have done it with me on this very subject and you spent a good 6 months BSing Anton a year or two ago.

In the last conversation i had with you I gave you direct quotes from the novel with the ONI team taking it upon themselves to dub Chakas as 343 because they don't want to admit other monitors might be kicking about. I also showed you the passage with Chakas himself saying he hardly remembers when any fragment of himself does something. He then uses the information he hacked from the ship to learn about 343, which he didn't know the actions of his doing before he hacked the ship.



As for the SIVs Frankie Said that MP and the story are separate experainces and said in MP you play as a spartan IV. That is a tidbit from Glasslands we were told was going to be introduced into the game. Spartans in the game makes no sense seeing hwo that isn't a classic experaince and it would take the focus away from chief seeing how they would have to be explained and fleshed out or else we have another reach.

Which brings us to "Why in the hell would 343 make another game with more spartans after the flak reach got"? Most spartans act like Emile who was the most disliked spartan of them all. So why in the hell would the repeat that?


Again, You always do stupid crap like this.

  • 03.08.2012 5:46 AM PDT

The IV's wouldn't have to be "fleshed out". Its called a side story like in ODST. Sadie's story was a side story. They could do the same for the fours.

  • 03.08.2012 12:55 PM PDT

yeah have to agree,spark is definitly crispy scrap metal now.Id say that it'll just be multiplayer that the new gen spartans are in.

Late game antagonists


This makes the most sense based on the very little information we have at this point.

I mean, what's their purpose now? Nothing, assuming there's no longer insurrectionists and no Covenant remnants left. So why bring them into the game?

  • 03.08.2012 1:29 PM PDT

Maybe they are the enemies now. Maybemarks dealers stole unsc tech and sold it to mercenaries, that would be a way to have a new spartan, but not necessarily one better than master chief and maybe that's the enemy threat they are talking about.
and the reason why red Spartans can fight blue Spartans.

Life is a game because people ragequit in it too.

I don't think that they will be enemies, but as long as the chief keeps his badass attitude and the Spartan IVs don't take the spotlight I'm fine with however they get put it.

  • 03.08.2012 1:50 PM PDT

I have a better idea, master chief was sucked into a wormhole after the legendary ending of halo three, he is shot out in the time of the forerunners, they are on their fourth generation of Spartans, this is where the humans found the technology for their Spartans. After defeating the flood and changing history master chief wakes up to find he was dreaming the whole time.
