Well it does against the history of Spartans to become a Spartan when you're in your adulthood..... so I agree too. I think it is simply the end product of the Spartan initiative to allow augmentations to be performed on adults but it comes at the expense of expertise, skill and experience. A S-II or S-III would mop the floor with any S-IV, unless 343i introduce some lame new augmentation that simply allows S-IVs to be "even betterer!" than previous Spartans.
That would annoy me.
I really hope that S-IVs are acknowledged as inferior to S-IIs and S-IIIs in some aspects and superior in others, that would make more sense to me.This.
In the Fall of Reach I think a marine asked John how he could be a Spartan. John said something like "You don't become one, you are chosen".
Now that marines and ODSTs can become them, John will probably think of them the same way as the OP does. People in fancy armour and some augmentations. He'll think their training wasn't enough, or something like that.
The IV's are still selected, but you have the option of turning it down.
Or, you can apply, but the requirements are extreme. Either way you might as well be "chosen."Yeah but Chief won't see it that way. They weren't the best humanity had (genetic requirements, childhood training, etc). They're simply the best soldiers humanity had avaliable, and decided to make them better.
Basically they weren't molded into Spartans. Only soldiers with increased abilities.
