Subject: Alien Spartans?

What do you think would happen if the former Covenant client species attempted to recreate the Spartan IV program?

Would they be unstoppable? Would it be a failure? Would they be an equal match for a Spartan?

Get creative and imagine the possibilities.

The Elites are already more than a match for the Spartans if not stronger in some cases.

Interesting concept....but I don't fancy facing Elites with the force-multiplying armor and augmentations. :P

Mind you, Elite Combat Harnesses already have force multiplying tech, I believe.

On a random related note, the Insurrectionists sometimes took Rumbledrugs, which were chemical cocktails which gave a human massively increased strength, agility and endurance for a short amount of time before they died of the side effects.

The Spartan program happened to turn out to our benefit because humans were anatomically inferior to some of the bulkier or agile Covenant races, like Elites, Brutes, and Jackals.

Frankly, if the Covenant applied a 'Spartan' program to any race, it would probably be Grunts. ... They'd kill the poor guys in the process, though.

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

A spartan hunter, oh -blam!- me twice over.

I'm Gourlay, I'm only here because I didn't know we had the option to leave.

They would probably have an Elite, Brute, and a Hunter's DNA mixed together into a new Alien. I would call it Swagasaurase Rex

Aren't Elites, Brutes, and Hunters somewhat equal to spartans?

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

I thought they were even more strong? It's just Hunters are worms in a suit, Brutes are dumb as nails, and Elites are basically the covenant version of a Spartan.

Spartans have no definite Covenant equivalent. Zealots are very close. Arbiters are even closer. Some very lucky and/or efficient Majors can achieve greatness as well.

But most Elites rely on numbers and straightforward, predictable approaches.

Fact: Spartans are unpredictable

Though they are disciplined, they do not always adhere to conventional tactics.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Xenomorphs might as well be sangheili Spartans, but that's not quite the same thing.

Perhaps without the modifications. Simply, make it a program that particular Elites can enter, best of the best. Then they rise through those ranks. It's like a Special Ops chain of Command.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

I think Elites, Brutes, and Hunters are as strong, or even stronger than spartans. If you augmented any of those, it would probably be much stronger than a spartan. If I were a prophet wanting to do major damage, I'd send a drinol.

How strong would Prophets trained to their physical peak and then augmented be?

Maybe as strong as a 12 year old human? They seem extremely frail.

That's a lifestyle choice that they choose (inactivity).

Apparently way back when the Forerunners were around they were pretty muscular. Not buff like Brutes but well built.

Afterwards they looked to elders for guidance and started to adopt inactive lifestyles. And with the Elites to protect them they had no reason to train their own warriors.
