Halo SPARTAN Program: Complete History (ORION, Halsey, Mjölnir + More)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- The Spartan Program in the Halo games is one of the most interesting, and disturbing, histories in all of sci-fi. See a complete breakdown of the Spartan's predecessor, ORION, the many forms of Mjolnir armor throughout the different Spartan generations from the pre-Halo games of Spartan-I like Sergeant Johnson, to the Spartan-II like Master Chief, the Spartan-III of Halo Reach and the Spartan-IV of Halo 5 like Jameson Locke.

Oh, its not the weight of the Mjolnir armor that prevents regular humans from wearing it, its the fact that it'll just *Kill* you, since even unconscious muscle tremors can cause the armor to react, you try to fight it, the armor breaks your arm instantly, you start thrashing in pain and the armor pretty much tears you appart
MJLONIR enhances every motion, even the subconsious ones.
Ah, you read fall of reach too
That’s a horrible way to die
Interesting!
Yes this is best part...he is like a 2 ton truck punching at rifle velocity
Kidnappers:how many kids do u wanna get??
Halsey: *yes*
Dude in a Homebrew DnD campaign they stole my kids
“You have been called upon to serve. You will be the protectors of Earth and all her colonies. There will be a great deal of hardship on the road ahead. You will become the best we can make you.”
Question: How you get your pic to be so.."artsy" ? I'm digging it.
I think as players who inhabit the Master Chief...we often forget how others can sometimes barley comprehend him as human better yet anything more than a machine made for war. They ARE humans and I think it's easy to forget how little credit Spartans are given for their humanity. John 117 fell in love with an AI. You NEED humanity for that
Wwwell. The Spartan program's point was, really, to strip them of their humanity and make them into the coldest, most effective killing machines possible. People forget that Halsey started the program BEFORE First Contact with the Covenant. The Spartan II's were children abducted from Colonies who were then tortured, brainwashed and often killed - and the eventual goal was to send them home to kill people from the colonies who didn't like the UNSC. (The Kilo-5 Trilogy actually features a story about an ordinary-ass dude who's daughter was taken for the Spartan Program and it radicalised him, like he became a REALLY high level insurrectionist because he knew the UNSC took his kid and did - something.) The reason in-universe people don't see Spartans like people is cuz Spartans aren't supposed to be people - and the fact that some of them have held onto their humanity is damn impressive. As for Chief and Cortana... it's kinda sad, really? He's the biggest hero of all of humanity and the only person he can truly call a friend is Cortana - who is essentially gone, now.
@@joeyaldente8858”Mmmm chicken.”
- Pvt. Caboose, probably
Now I want to see a breakdown on spartan armor and it’s features and history with a estimate on how strong this armor is
Look at game theory. He did a vid on it
@@Sharp26 I saw that, it was good, but I felt like he skipped on some more important or smaller details
Installation 00 has done very good breakdowns on his channel on spartan ii, spartan iii, and spartan iv augmentations, as well as breakdowns on the MJOLNIR Armor Marks IV - GEN 2, ODST Armor, and much more.
@_SilverArrow_xxx well, then why don’t you just keep that to yourself. You sound like a straight up high school bully.
Strong enough for chief to fall from space and survive haha
Ahh the face of the entire halo franchise, the Spartans. Could you possibly do the Sangheili next? They r one of my most favorite races in the Halo franchise.
The Spartan IIIs had other units/soldiers pulled from each of their respective company's. That's what Noble team, as well as Head Hunter units were comprised of.
Cat 2s
Such a sad, ruthlessly effective story, it’s fitting that elites would give them respect, as if you put aside the augmentation that the children were given, their lives and ethics are pretty similar to the sangheili
Also hearing my name like that is...weird, haven’t heard your voice say it in years
The thought of child supersoldiers being used to fight rebels was always pretty strange to me.
Take a look at how much trouble the Rebel Alliance gave the Galactic Empire. Now double that, because the UNSC is in fact a competent stable military that is NOT run by a psychopathic "etherial energy field" directed decrepid old man with power boner issues, and then spread them out across enough space and time to make it so that traveling between worlds can take weeks if your lucky.
That was the Insurrection. In effect; the UNSC had no other option but to create something like the Spartans. All standard military resources had proven more or less ineffective.
They needed a surgical, high lethality force to hit priority targets fast, hard and efficently, then vanish, leaving the Innies disorganized and easier to mop up.
Considering said Rebels were throwing nukes to massive heavy populated cities...
The covenant woulda won if they showed up just a tiny bit sooner
You forgot how Spartan IIIs from Gama Company need "Smoothers" or they go psychotic...
One thing I noticed that you forgot to put in is that the armor's iconic energy shielding didn't appear until the Mark V iteration, though some Spartans used Mark IV armor sporting prototypes of the energy shields, namely Halo Wars' Red Team. Until the Mark V's introduction, the only shields Spartans had were the shield gauntlets stolen off dead Jackals.
The fall of reach is one of my favorite books. I read alot growing up and Eric has such a compelling way of telling a story. I love it
You forgot the most important feature of spartan armor: it stimulates the groin in order to relief stress
Interesting
Right when I’m on a halo binge too
Do a video on Stolt. He is a Grunt that beat a Spartan II in hand to hand combat and won.
So... Does the heart mean that Stolt will get a vid?
There were also non spartan testing on the MJOLNIR armor. Which resulted in severe physical injuries and fatal accidents. This has concluded to be tested only on the Spartans. The Spartans are the only ones strong enough to handle the armor. When the armor was given to Chief and others. It was a gamble and wasn't certain if they were capable of using them. Or if the armor itself was actually viable.
Imagine getting killed in hand to hand combat by a 12yr old and you're more than a hardened veteran
I woulda been scared shitless of the Spartans before they even got their augments lol holy shit
He was probably already trained, there are fighting styles kept hidden from the public.
The Spartan 1.1s were actually the children of the Spartan 1s. Those children inherited some of the genetic modifications done to the Spartan 1s.
12:25, then why am I always... DYING
I have never played halo but I still love lore of it
I'll never understand how chief, the man who can flip a Hog and take body slams from brutes had ANY trouble fighting Lock.
The man who can 1v4 hunters in a closed room.
Like wtf
Bungie's one man army vs 343's oc donut steel mary sue. Boy I wonder why?
@@choo_choo_ dont be silly hes an old white man
No one wants him around anymore
It's not like he is the face of the franchise
And his and Cortanas relationship is what's driving the story
No we definitely need new characters
@@c.o7993 Locke is the new face of Xbox now. Step aside Mr. Chef. We bout to get #WOKE up in this bitch.
Canon states he held back. He could have easily killed Locke, but he didn't want too, since Locke was A) a fellow UNSC member and just following his orders and B) a viable asset that Chief didn't see a reason to waste by removing from the playing field. Among other things, the Chief is a pragmatic tactical thinker.
Hence why he went for the armor stun instead. He waited for Locke to give him an opening, then went full in on it.
Plot
This is very interesting, been playing Halo for years but wanted a more in-depth description of the spartan variants (I.E 2 and 3’s etcetera) this is perfect
Another great Halo vid lads. Eagerly waiting the next one...
covering Halo was a very good decision for your channel, imo! thanks dude!
Spartans never die
United Nations Space Command secret super soldiers project that will outshine anything they did before them. This project will pushed Medical, Hard Ware, Soft Ware, and Weapon Development to such to a degree that the UNSC will become a superpower after the Human-Covenant. The Spartans deserves the respect of all the branch’s of the UNSC military, and it could be argued that without the Spartan program Humanity will probably be extinct.
Spartans never die!
And now you doing halo. Mind fucking blown!!!! Going to put me in tears man. Star Wars, Gundam, and now Halo. God damn you made my night! Love this channel!
Hey Metanerdz you forgot to mention that the Halo Spartan armor is inspired by the mobile suits in Mobile Suit Gundam and notes and trivia
I hear mobile suit Gundams design was based on astronaut suits
If I was a Spartan, I would have two big speakers on both of my suits shoulders, so when we were on the battlefield, all you would hear is epic rock music
*Doom Soundtrack, even Like in Doom changing the flow based on how you tear appart brutes 😂
But How many Dewbacks can the Spartans carry..?
Maybe more than 1?
Peter Yim If they can flip a scorpion( scorpion weighs 66 tons ) little bit more than one.
One in each hand, many more if they can stack the dewbacks and keep them from squirming too much
weldonwin yea I think that one dewback weighs over 1 ton.
For some reason this video is relaxing to listen to. Maybe its the music. What is the music song?
With the release of the Halo Encyclopedia came new Spartan Bio-Metric Information, combining this with the Bio-Metric Information garnered from the Official Spartan Field Manual and other game pre-release sources we finally have a clearer picture of the Bio-Metric standings of each class safe for the original Orion candidates of whom we only have 1 example of which is Avery Johnson.
(Before beginning I would like to clarify that the height data presented in both passages (Halo Encyclopedia and Official Spartan Field Manual) are Mjolnir Armored and SPI Armored height ranges but that luckily we are able to convert that into their baseline augmented height as we know mjolnir makes an operator 9.7 centimeters taller than their base height and while SPI is not as bulky as Mjolnir does possess a similar baseline framework and components.)
[Starting off with the Spartan II's]
Spartan Gender: Male
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir): 7 ft 1 Inches - 7 ft 7 Inches
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 6 ft 9 Inches - 7 ft 3 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 290 lbs - 358 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan II Male (Out of Mjolnir): Kurt - 051 (7 ft 3 Inches and 358 lbs)
Spartan Gender: Female
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir): 6 ft 11 Inches - 7 ft
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 6 ft 7 Inches - 6 ft 8 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 242 - 247 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan II Female (Out of Mjolnir): Linda - 058 (6 ft 8 Inches and 247 lbs)
[Followed by the Spartan III's]
Spartan Gender: Male
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir/SPI): 6 ft 4 Inches - 6 ft 11 Inches
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 6 ft - 6 ft 7 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 202.8 - 265 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan III Male (Out of Mjolnir): Jun - A266 (6 ft 7 Inches and 244 lbs)
Spartan Gender: Female
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir/SPI): 6 ft 2 Inches - 6 ft 9 Inches
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 5 ft 10 Inches - 6 ft 5 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 172 - 229 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan III Female (Out of Mjolnir): Kat - B320 (6 ft 5 Inches and 215 lbs)
Note: I did not factor in Lucy - B091 as her diminutive size was considered to be an anomaly within the Spartan III Program. For those of you curious, her SPI and Mjolnir Armored Height is 5 ft 3 Inches which would make her unarmored height 4 ft 11 Inches and she weighed 177 lbs. Don't mistake it for weakness however as detailed in Legacy of Onyx, she was able to contend with and even beat Spartan III Male Tom - B292 who had a Mjolnir Armored Height of 6 ft 9 Inches and an unarmored height of 6 ft 5 Inches, he also weighed 265 lbs.
[Ending with the Spartan IV's]
Spartan Gender: Male
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir): 6 ft 9 Inches - 7 ft 3 Inches
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 6 ft 5 inches - 6 ft 11 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 249 - 293 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan IV Male (Out of Mjolnir): Tomas Horvath (6 ft 11 Inches and 293 lbs)
Spartan Gender: Female
Spartan Height Range (Mjolnir): 6 ft 7 Inches - 7 ft
Spartan Height Range (Out of Mjolnir): 6 ft 3 Inches - 6 ft 8 Inches
Spartan Weight Range (Out of Mjolnir): 224 - 245 lbs
Tallest Known Spartan IV Female (Out of Mjolnir): Naiya Ray (6 ft 8 Inches and 245 lbs)
When I found out spartan-3’s weren’t as strong as spartan-2’s I couldn’t stop thinking about “what it Nobel 6 was a spartan-2?” He was considered “hyper lethal” just like Master Chief, but what would he be if Nobel 6 had spartan-2 augmentations?
All spartan 2's are hyper lethal
@@DDK20284 as in a hyper legal rating (the Spartan surpases in all fields of expertise compared to other Spartans)
Lortning McQuorn except threes were just as strong as twos. They are literally just twos but better.
J0J0 Reference 3’s are not better than 2’s at all... spartan 3’s only got chemical augmentations while spartan 2’s are literal cyborgs. Spartan 3’s were sent on mass suicide missions and didn’t even get mjolnir armor
Jose Segura no only chief and Nobel 6 are hyper lethal, if you look up Nobel 6 it says that only he and one other spartan (referring to master chief) are hyper lethal.
I got the whatever version of Reach. It came with Halsey's journal. It's so cool.
Interesting story
But if this is real life I had imagined genetic modification would be quite common making them somewhat superhuman.
I imagine this would be quite common in people used to have genetic diseases running in because they would be much more open to such technologies!
SO happy I found your channel
YES more Halo!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Do the entire story of the history of UEG and the UNSC. From the Insurrectionists to the Human-Covenant War.
the lore for Halo blows my mind. They've thought of the details like the materials its made of and the science behind their bodies. Crazy its had so much thought for everything to be believable and all from an amazing game :)
I hate to be the nerd here but you left out the fact that the spartan armor will kill non-argumented users due to its rapidly response.
12:20 the suit can help you survive under water
Me: doubt
More Halo!
In terms of what was done for the war, I'd say the 3s were the most successful
Wrong
@@krukimoto6296 The suicide missions they did basically delayed the covenant long enough for everyone to prepare for the war.
Now if UNSC figured out how to mass produce the Mjolnir armor to be used by every ODST and Marine..it will be a game changer
My Favorite Spartans are:
1. Avery Johnson(Spartan 1)
2. Master Chief(Spartan 2)
3. Noble Six(Spartan 3)
4. Gabriel Thorne(Spartan 4)
How does a mk1 suit run 34mph but still have to be tethered to a fusion power source?
OG Spartan : who are you?
Master chief : I'm you but better
I wonder if the the master can still stand up to Doom guy or is does there need to be a new Death battle.
I think doom guy would win since he's practically indestructible
I love it. Spartans, halo, and you said Mjolnir right 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Love to learn more about halo
The methods may have been wack, but you can't argue with results.
If Halsey truly thought Spartans and human augments were the future why didn’t she augment herself or her daughter? Also when MK.4 armor was created; I would’ve incorporated the power system of the MK.4 and placed it in the MK.3 and made the suit fully pressurized creating the MK3B. Cheaper and more accessible I would’ve had a 12 man team on any ship patrolling the systems in the path of the covenant.
They tried this later in the war. It's the Prototype suit (watch Halo Legends)
Halsey was far too old and better suited for her overall role rather then being a super soldier. As for not augmenting Miranda the two never had the best relationship, I doubt Miranda would have agreed to the dangerous procedure.
DeltaWolf1000 I watched it and for the price of a pelican or a Longsword it would’ve been well worth the price thus proving the UNSC and ONI were headed up by idiots.
Brandon Travis Rodriguez Halsey could’ve enhanced her intelligence, senses and reflexes. Halsey could’ve enhanced Miranda as a fetus when she was in the womb or in a incubation chamber.
@@reginaldtyroneshort She was already one of the smartest women alive, as for enhancing her own body she was no Frontline soldier and had no need for them. Experimenting on a fetus is not only dangerous but life threatening she certainly wouldn't want to take a risk with her own child.
Can you do a video on the super star destroyer/ssd/ executor/ etc bc im honestly surprised you haven't done a vid on it yet.
Should have mentioned that the armor would kill any normal human who wore it.
This. Seems like he completely missed the fact that most of the augmentations were specifically so the wearer doesn't get fucking liquefied by the suit because of how insane that shit was. It'd turn you into a fucking origami crane without them bone and muscle augments.
@@AwesomeBrickSauce The weight isn't what kills you. It's much more painful.
@@AwesomeBrickSauce That just means it's heavy.
Sweet topic
Spartan 2 and 3 are the best of the best
Did I learn anything new about the Spartans? No, but I was entertained for almost 19 minutes 👍
What I want to know do spartans live longer if there super human
Considering Johnson(Spartan 1) I'd say they live longer
I honestly forgot Halo was a thing,I used to play this when master chief Collection was first made
A badass sparn
Oh boy, now you Star Wars nerds gonna LEARN how you make a REAL soldier!
Armored death on two legs, coming right up!
Spartans: exist
Storm trooper: stop bulling me
Theyre all very effective in their own universe.
@@idonthavethemass1227 EEEEEHHHHHHH.
@@KillerOrca Very interesting point there... I agree
@@idonthavethemass1227 Stormtroopers are...situationally effective lets go with that. Whereas Spartans are almost always shown as fully competent and tactical viable. Even against foes with plot armor.
😮 and we finally learn master chief has a face
Halo the fall of reach is such a awesome book, Halo new blood is also one I recommend I'm currently reading Halo glass lands and it's pretty good however so far it seams to jump around a lot and it focuses more on politics I preferd how Halo new blood was told thru bucks point of view so it seams more human he cracks jokes in it and in my opinion the narrator on audible makes it really seam like a sarcastic prick witch fits a veteran buck in my opinion
Somebody should tell the game designers that the spartan armor can allow the user to survive in water, because my spartans always die when it hits water…everytime.😢😢😢😢
Buck should be the face of the Spartan IVs. Good video regardless.
I just want to go someone who knows how to utilize the program. The statement "500k is a down year" for any spartan should of been a fact.
Emile's death just hit different:'(
Great content, although you did get 1 small detail wrong as far as I'm aware, and that is no spartan is ever recorded as KIA, All are MIA... for oni reasons of course, so i suppose wrong is the wrong word for it.
Can you make a video comparing the UNSC Scorpion with the covenant wraith?
do the breakdowns of the white base for gundam
You should do Starship Troops
Burned out on Star Wars crap. Great video on halo
So, which spartan program has the best augmentations?
Holy,Dark.~~!!!
How did they complete the first mission without being seen if there was a casualty? Did they fall off a cliff
Do Astartes next please
Please talk about the characters, organizations, weapons, tech, vehicles and projects from Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's universe AKA Clancyverse?
Don't forget the reason why the children were tajen because they have a unique genetic markers
Inb4 ONI... escorts MetaNerdz
Can you do the history on Robotech?
can cortana turning into sky net not be canon ?
what is the video animation near the end about the training for the kids and stuff?
Halo: The Fall of Reach, the animated short that came with Halo 5.
NICE
Haha I love the lore. Im almost a spartan in stature, 2m tall and 100kg. neat
The Spartan program is similar to a type of breeding called Eugenics which is altering genes and physical shape in this case give the candidates super soldier strength.
master cheaif more of a cyborg defence human than anyrobot nor human
The IVs should have been called something else such as Hoplites since they're taken from veterans.
I thought the 1.1s were the children of the 2nd gen Orion’s
Has anyone ever truly confirmed the identities of the head hunters?
Cool
9:30 to 10:40 new training lol
I would die during spartan training
8:26 is this from a cutscene?
So the Covenant forces called the SPARTANS demons? A fitting title given that SPARTANS are feared on the battlefield. How many SPARTANS were created in all?
Unknown number of Spartan-Is, most likely only a few dozen or so. 300 planned Spartan-IIs reduced to 150 actual candidates approached, of which many weren't recruited, died, or washed out, resulting in only a few dozen actives by the time they graduated. Nearly a thousand Spartan-IIIs, but the vast majority were killed in their respective first missions since they were typically deployed on suicide missions. Unknown number of Spartan-IVs, but likely hundreds to require a ship like the Infinity to be their home base. All in all, I'd estimate 1.5 thousand total across all generations and maybe 1-200 actives by the end of Halo 5.
SPARTAN-IIs were made to fight insurrectionists, SPARTAN-IIIs were made to fight the Covenant.
What were SPARTAN-IVs made to fight?
What ever else was out there in the darkness. After all, mankind's first contact with actual intelligent alien life, was when that life attempted to exterminate us, so as you can imagine, Mankind was rather determined not to allow that to happen again
Other spartans
1 Spartan II armor is easily worth about as much as the current American tanks used today
no if it was real it would by worth billions. real life energy shield would be no joke.
This isn’t a massive deal but in the trailer for infinite looked like he was black and in this he’s clearly not. Can anyone explain?
