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 S-IVs were chosen. They proved themselves to be the best special forces operatives the UNSC had.But they were given a choice. The Spartan IIs were not. They were chosen, end of story. Except for Soren.
Anyways Spartan IIs and IIIs were trained from the age of six to be BETTER than even the best special forces. The Spartan IVs trained to be what the Spartans IIs and IIIs were trained to be better than. Sure they got some additional training, but Spartan training is in a league of its own.
