Welcome to the channel guys! If you are new here, and you like the video barring the two low quality images at the beginning that certainly didnt look low quality in hitlfim, Please subscribe! Id really appreciate it!
Are you ever going to get into Battletech at all? The Clans have programs for breeding specific warriors, and the 'Mechs use a neural feedback system that links the Mechwarrior's brain to his "Mech, allowing it to use their sense of balance as it's own, similar to the Jaegers from Pacific Rim
I always thought that the story of the spartan 3s was really tragic and heart wrenching, ONI takes a bunch of messed up orphans and pumps them up with chemicals that make them even more messed up and then sends them on suicide missions, look at Emile, when reach, which is second only to earth in importance, gets invaded his reaction is glee because now he has a lot of stuff to kill
Emile was probably torturing animals as a child before the Covenant even found his homeworld. He was probably one of those kids that when the teach asked what do you want to be. He said a soldier so i can kill things for a living. Oh and these orphans were given a choice go roam the streets hungry and full of anger until they are old enough to join or become the next generation of Spartan like the famous Spartans on the military posters and advenge their families. Emile was probably happy to sign up to kill aliens and would have done so even if he had to wait til his 17th birthday to do so. Basically he was a psychopath before the augmetations. After augmentation he became a super human psychopath with power armor and a shotgun. So not a good example for how tragic the Spartan 3 program was. Oh and Emile was a member of Alpha Co. So didn't get the brain altering drugs .
Thanks bro! I'm actually trying to steer in that direction, it's actually much easier with the Spartan augmentations but for dead space and gears of war, a little more difficult, but I'm glad you're liking the videos bro!
I finally got something in regards to the limit of a human punch! "Quoting a bike-helmet study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, he wrote that 235 kg (520 pounds) or 2,300 newtons of force would be needed to crush a human skull, almost twice as much force as human hands could possibly muster."
This makes that punch Chief gave to Keyes extremely easy for him. This should be expected, as I remember The Fall of Reach describing him shattering entire, large concrete targets with a single punch.
Which is not very surprising to be honest. They are literal walking tanks with the strength to match. Their armor makes them way half a ton. bones are covered in a carbide ceramic coating adding to the mass with the suit. Honestly man, the only thing I imagine they cant punch through is another literal tank lol
Roanoke Gaming butbthey do lunch wholes in tanks if you think about it. They can punch the back vent grate off a scorpion or the metal plate that protects the driver of said scorpion. Then in the scorpions cause if they have a grenade the can punch the grenade into said tank far enough the grande destroys the inside of the vehicle. Spartans just don’t mess around it seems
Roanoke Gaming Harden the contact surface and focus the impact and you could do it with even less force, think of a hammer or mace. A titanium gauntlet would do the trick too.o
well its difficult to say. They mention genetic variance causing a major issue but what chemicals are being pumped in? I feel like there may be a few issues First: Our bones produce red blood cells and are basically living organs, if you replaced that with ceramic or another material, our red blood cells would be diminished and we would die Second: Retinal Inversion, thats going to put more load on the eyes and the optic nerve, could it handle it? I should think not, mainly due to how we have evolved to process the information. While the cones and the rods may be increased, our brain still has to interpret it. Maybe it could be amped up with chems but its hard to say Third: Muscle density. Our heart is a muscle, having the body increase density would lead to enlarging of the heart which could cause it to stop. On top of that, veins and arteries may not be able to handle the extra load required of them to feed these new muscles. overall, if the tech got good enough and they figured out how to negate the issues above, absolutely! It would take some serious bio-engineering however
Roanoke Gaming but that’s what makes the spartan program work so well. Children are naturally more flexible and adaptable. They can recover from things adults can’t. I believe the hardest barrier would be the cones and rods. The way I see it the bones aren’t replaced like I think your assuming but given a coating. I’m the spartan 3 case it’s done chemically so I believe what the bones are made out of is changed but they still serve the primary function making need blood cells they are just intact stronger now. Denser muscles wouldn’t be an issue either. Organs are shown to grow larger when it’s twin is gone but said organ doesn’t take up space that its twin had. I believe because the children are so young the body adapts to the fact it’s organ are bigger. Now would a human in real life adapt like that if they were a child who knows but if it’s possible a child would be the only candidate that even had a chance of pulling it off. The fact the brain has to interpret extra data though does pose an issue though like you suggest. While I think as a child the body could cope and lessen the strain I do think other chemicals would be needed. Remember Spartans are walking sociopaths. It’s possible some of the drugs make use of other parts of the brain to help lessen the load. Spartans don’t really feel emotion well spartan 2’s and 3’s don’t. So maybe that’s how it works? All in all I think it could work but I don’t think we are at that level of science yet and even if we hit the point it would only work on children and it would most definitely be a slow process that took stages. As in stage one strengthen the bones. Stage two denser muscles. The body isn’t magic and not even children could handle all those augmentations at once. I imagine that’s why spartan 2’s had a high death rate. All those changes at once was probably way to much to deal with those who weren’t the perfect candidate. Some spartan 2’s did survive but were crippled that was in fact a thing so maybe that’s why it was so deadly. The body just couldn’t cope.
@@RoanokeGaming You do know that the US Military is working on genetic augmentation for military use via Crisper. And are working towards the exoskeleton needed. Granted they are making more progress on the Exoskeleton. Oh and if you have ever read the product list of any of the muscle building suplliments at GNC? Most contain testosterone boosters aka small doses of artificial HGH. And a lot of soldiers use this stuff . The military doesn't care if soldiers are on steroids either. So yeah they are already working on the super soldier concept and have been for decades. Right now there is a concept of altering soldiers fight or flight response to remove fear completely from soldier's in combat. So yeah the US governments defense research lab or DARPA is working on the concept of making the closes thing we can get to Spartans in real life. Just a point towards the real world application of the technology. We have some of the technology but we also have this thing called Ethics which does prevent the government's of the world employing such developments currently. Civilian outrage at publicly admitting such programs exist is the main reason we don't have super soldiers today. By the 2500s in halo much of the technologies of biological augmentation have become mainstream. In other words the Marines are augmented to a lesser degree ,. Civilians use chemical , cybernetic and genetic augmentation to adapt to various planets environments etc. So currently we have some of the tech but haven't figured out how to do it.
Spartan threes weren't meant to be better they were basically mass-produced to be thrown into a meat grinder survivability really wasn't at top priority for majority of the Spartan 3s
McLuvingMcMuffing That was actually Blue Team(Spartan II’s) Spartan III’s were capable of II feats but, when it comes to training and augmentations, Spartan III’s would get bested. They would certainly give a II a run for their money, but a II can adapt and overcome. There’s been many examples of a III getting into it with a II and were always beaten.
Yep, that Spartans that thought he could take Kelly took the Palm to the chest. By the way leaving a palm print on the armor, which as far as I know was never removed!
Oh my god you BLEW UP bro!! From this video in 2018 to July 29th 2019 you went from 100 subs to 170K subs!! That’s incredible and you’re extremely worthy of this achievement
I'd love to hear some of your theories on how some of the procedures and workarounds worked for the Spartans, especially in these specific cases. Love the content, keep it up
Thats not a bad idea! I can probably make something about the botched augmentations in Spartan II and how some were able to handle those augmentations and why, while others could not!
Gerald, "so yeah, then we had to take these powerful mutagens where...." John117, "only three out of ten survived right?" Geralt, "yeah" (tear rolls down cheek as John hugs him)
Do you know what kind of movement speed is required to kill/maim someone? I've made guesses and gathered sources that have proven Spartans move at around 100ms^-1 when fully in their suit. Considering how Spartans are around 4 times heavier than a heavyweight boxer, multiplying this with their (squared) estimated speed over them (5 times 75kph/20ms^-1), this makes them hit around 100 times harder than anyone on the planet. Later, I got a similar result when measuring that punch Jerome gave to an Elite in HW2, coming at around 100-200 kilojoules of kinetic energy.
Depends on the hit and material present. Since they are hitting with metal, are quicker, and stronger. I imagine a punch could easily kill a person. Like when master chief punches through the face of captain keys to retrieve the codes. That's some serious math you're doing there though, how did you come up with those figures?
The guess? It was simpler than it sounds, I just made a rough estimate at the absolute most amount of KE that a human punch could deliver (which was really hard to find, as so much of "record breaking" punches are bollocks e.g. 48 *kilojoules* for some boxer I read). To be safe, I made it 1 kilojoule, which admittedly is a huge amount of energy. Since Spartans were genetically perfect before their training even began, I'm confident that this number could still stand. eK = .5 * m * v^2 They're around 4 times heavier than what someone with that kind of punching power could be. So if they're 4 times heavier, they'd hit 4 times harder (This is also why some military employ 7.62x39 over 5.56, as it can utilise much of its KE into the target itself) Of course velocity, however, is where most of the kinetic energy is sourced from. As you may know, a subtle change in the speed of a moving car is a matter of life or death. This 5x speed figure is scaled to allowing them to hit 25 times harder. Adding in their weight to the formula allows for 100 times harder punching power.
Sorry for derailing there for a bit. Still, do you have an idea what kind of velocities are needed to damage athletic muscle tissue, from sheer speed alone?
These videos are awesome. I’m currently in college studying physical therapy, so some of the stuff you talk about in your videos actually makes sense to me. Too bad biology doesn’t come easy to me
I graduated with my general biology degree and now work as a microbiologist, but morphology has always interested me but so have microbes, specifically parasites and viruses. But changes to human morphology I find to be a very interesting topic
About the liver portion, in the military when you jump from high points that's why they are trained to do the "army roll". It also prevents any potential fractures but there have been cases of internal organs being damaged.
By the way I actually enjoy your videos because you actually share your knowlege that you've learned. I learn some stuff from your videos that I never had a chance to learn. (If school wasn't so expensive I'd take all courses) When you brought up mitochondria in a video it reminded me of the classic game Parasite Eve on the play station. If you haven't made a video on the game yet then I'd like to hear your take on the biology because there was some pretty interesting stuff from the game. If you don't have time that's cool just keep doing what you do the best. What ever topic you choose I'm bound to learn something new or even have a new outlook on something because you've shown me a different perspective.
about falling from great heights there are techniques to improve your chances of survive falling from great heights mostly by spreading your weight rather than receiving all this force on your legs
maaaaan, just the size of those needles and the fact that they're going into Carter's HEAD makes me sick. And the thought of my liver being sliced in half. >.< *cries* I really clutched my side with a look of disgust and terror on my face. no lie.
was spartan III augmentation superior than spartan II augmentation, since they had better technology, and had learned from previous mistake? Or was it just safer but less effective in terms of physical capabilities?
@@RoanokeGaming Why wouldn't it produce better soldiers? The augmentations they got were the same as S2 or more advanced versions of those. The S3 candidates may not have had the same 0.0000001% genetic markers as the S2 candidates, but those were highly unrealistic standards anyway and didn't matter that much in the end. S3 training time was shorter but they had the advantage of incorporating lessons of the war against the Covenant, lessons from the S3 training program and having overall superior trainers (Kurt AND Mendez). Taking those factors into account they should be about equal to the S2 (disregarding combat experience, obviously) or slightly better. Most of them never got the glory of the S2's due to being sent on suicide missions and being even more black ops but at least this point it should be clear they can do everything S2's can if given the same equipment and support. Only situation I'd prefer a squad of S2's over S3's would be on a long duration behind enemy lines mission like which Black and Grey teams partook in. And that only applies to Gamma company due to their need of their antipsychosis medication.
@@kallemort from what i remember, the Augmentations the 3's got were slightly less powerful than the 2's, as well as the Genetic restrictions for the 2's giving them an edge as well. Unarmoured, a 2 would beat both a 3 and a 4. the 3's were basically made for "this is unachievable for ODST, but we dont want to waste 2's" missions. then the 4's got aug's that were less effective again, due to being essentially unrestricted, then they were given Gen 2 Mjolnir to bring them close to 2 levels. Both of them paled next to the 2's though, they were essentially seen as almost the next stage in human evolution, and were given better augmentations, abeit waaaay riskier ones.
Jason McAllister I believe the spartan IIs were assassins, but the IIIs were more like just mass produce soldiers, meant to go out and do the missions no one could, at least that's how it was made known to me
Hey there, I dont know if you will read this, but I really hope you do. May I just say I find your content incredibly entertaining, informative and interesting. I am a big halo fan and love the lore, but I would rather watch you then other big halo lore youtubers ( halo follower being one ) and find myself watching your videos multiple times. Thank you for the content I do thoroughly enjoy it.
I do indeed, I enjoyed your L4D witch video a lot too so its not just exclusively halo lore I am enjoying. Also I noticed in one of your videos " my three European viewers" when mentioning a height of a elite, that was a nice touch to convert that to feet for us. You Have another European viewer ( im UK :) )
ayyyeee even more reason to throw in some more metric haha I should also be having some more L4D lore coming out soon! I am glad yall find my videos entertaining across the pond haha
I do wonder though, what the result would be if the Spartan 2's had undergone the chemical augmentations similar to those for the Spartan 3's, along with their own changes. I would love a see a video speculating the results of such a program. Granted it would have a much higher fatality rate, but the soldiers produced would be interesting to say the least.
@@RoanokeGaming I actually had a handful of things I've been thinking about since I started watching your videos. Like, what if the necromorphs got a hold of a spartan or two? or even pilot from Titanfall?
Great video. Did Installation 00 take down the detailed SPARTAN II Aug' s vid or was it taken down... it just won't play... Did they perhaps use some copyrighted footage or something.... I can play n watch anything else.
To my knowledge, (prehalo 5) the IIIs had broader gene restrictions then the IIs because they needed more of them so after augmentation the IIs were gods among men but the IIIs were more demi gods not having such invasive and serious aug. And i though the IIs had both chemical and surgical implants and and aug, did they do any retconning? I could be wrong now. Will
I believe the IIs definitely had chemical enhancments to speed up their developement but as for chemicals during the process I am not certain, I will have to research it some more!
Roanoke Gaming i just remember reading all about it. Also i forgot to mention. The IIIs had broader because they werent as elite gene wise but because they had the mental motivation from being orphaned. If most IIIs went toe to toe with any IIs naked every II would win. Unless they were marked as a III with the same genes then they got the same aug and usually armour and put in special squads (see nobel 6)
I love this, but the gameplay is bothering me more than my soda exploding after I finnaly open after repeatedly taking it out and putting it in the fridge due to not wanting it.
Ghosts of Onyx mentioned it the most. It had three versions, I believe. The last version LCDR Ambrose was the one he fought tooth and nail for because his last attempt before Gamma Company's activation got denied because it was "over the budget". Given it's nature as a "semi powered" armor, does this armor offer some degree of enhancement of strength and speed? The only things I've heard about it are it's superior to ODST armor sets and it's got a "poor man's" version of active cloak. It's also meant to be mass produced and easier to build than MJOLNIR armor.
92 SUBS!!!!!! YOOOOO I think it should be noted that Spartan threes did not receive the same exact augmentations as Spartan twos since they were not wearing mjolnir. Hence why the augmentations were not as deadly as the Spartans ii
Actually, Roanoke Gaming, you can decrease the tension on your liver by increasing the time it takes for you to decelerate after a fall. More time to stop, the less G-forces on specific parts of your body. Check out ShoddyCast’s SCIENCE video on ‘Mirror’s Edge’. In fact, here it is: th-cam.com/video/reFDUUza9tU/w-d-xo.html
@roanoke gaming i gotta disagree with you on the armor, unless its a plothole and noble six survived when jorge threw him and he REENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE because plot armor
As a biologist, im sad to see that you didnt go into detail or talked about alternatives we use in science today to accomplish similiar effects.Making bone structure stronger, using epigenetics to alter vision/cone densitiy, supplementary drugs to supply muscles with oxygen and like drugs from e.g. Amanita muscaria that made the nordic berserkers really "beserk" = aggressive
I'm more based in the microbiology field so I don't know everything there is to know about all things concerning the human form. That being said, that is some pretty interesting stuff! Is that what your field is based in??
Ahhh biochemistry, my old nemesis haha I took one course on that as it was required and noped out! What are you doing in micro right now? But you've also got a good idea, connect the lore to actual things happening now that we are working on, I'll see if I can't include that in my next augmentation video!
its cool man! I didn't think so. I hope one of my other videos hit the target haha I don't want to make it too dry for people (granted it would be highly informational) Figured this might be a solid middle ground though!
The Spartan 3s sound weak from a strategical point of view. An ideal spartan overall would be John-117, who is able to make (for much of his career) calm and calculated decisions that wouldn't be clouded by emotions at critical moments - especially during firefights.
actually most of the way I play is instinct driven, in other words I go in hard and fast with overwhelming firepower or go in stealthy to pick them off one by one till discovered then attack them hard and methodically.
Yes Spartan 3s are very aggressive we're Spartan 2s used to brutal finishing counters and they're close combat Spartan 3s would go on a brutal Close Quarter assault

Y'all know his apparent "psychosis" is a psyops tactic, right?
John2r1 most of Emile’s psychosis is actually just acting since he specializes in psychological warfare
So these Spartans are some kind of ,,high-tech Witchers" because of the chemical augmentations and sociopathy derived from their usage
essentially yes!
More bad ass witchers!

well its difficult to say. They mention genetic variance causing a major issue but what chemicals are being pumped in? I feel like there may be a few issues

Clyde Marshall pre 343 is before 2007
Still need to remember that Spartan3s are actually suicide combatants
basically yes!
The Spartan 3’s are the Suicide Squad.
Spartan threes weren't meant to be better they were basically mass-produced to be thrown into a meat grinder survivability really wasn't at top priority for majority of the Spartan 3s
but still pretty badass in their own right
They were my favorite group of Spartans.
Spartan IIIs are basically more aggressive versions of Spartan IIs without having the best armor in the 2 generations.
Like, 3 Spartan IIs blew up an entire planet. I like the Spartan 3s, but the 2s were deadlier

eK = .5 * m * v^2
They're around 4 times heavier than what someone with that kind of punching power could be. So if they're 4 times heavier, they'd hit 4 times harder (This is also why some military employ 7.62x39 over 5.56, as it can utilise much of its KE into the target itself)
Of course velocity, however, is where most of the kinetic energy is sourced from. As you may know, a subtle change in the speed of a moving car is a matter of life or death. This 5x speed figure is scaled to allowing them to hit 25 times harder. Adding in their weight to the formula allows for 100 times harder punching power.
Sorry for derailing there for a bit. Still, do you have an idea what kind of velocities are needed to damage athletic muscle tissue, from sheer speed alone?
I wonder if it's possible to make a Spartan in real life
with the right technology I am sure it would be possible, but thats waaaay better tech than now
@Jerry C Not yet.
And real master chief armor.
Loving what you're doing so far. Keep up the good work!
William-043 is a perfect example of what those chemicals/drugs could do
1:40 they were made to crush human rebellion, covenant werent known about by this point
The spartan threes were designed to specifically counter the covenant because they were running out of money and couldn’t afford more spartan twos
Bro, your videos are so dope u deserve at least another 400k subscribers. Your later stuff is even better.
thanks man! I really appreciate the compliment on them! :)
You've come a long way man! I love your content!
Holy shit ive been following since this video3 years ago, you make me proud to be going in to biology man
These videos are awesome. I’m currently in college studying physical therapy, so some of the stuff you talk about in your videos actually makes sense to me. Too bad biology doesn’t come easy to me
isnt that the best? well, maybe by the end itll come to you, then youll graduate and biology will be your jam
Roanoke Gaming I hope so! Do you major in a specific type of biology?
I graduated with my general biology degree and now work as a microbiologist, but morphology has always interested me but so have microbes, specifically parasites and viruses. But changes to human morphology I find to be a very interesting topic
Roanoke Gaming That’s awesome! Changes to human morphology is always super interesting. Keep up the awesome videos!
About the liver portion, in the military when you jump from high points that's why they are trained to do the "army roll". It also prevents any potential fractures but there have been cases of internal organs being damaged.
By the way I actually enjoy your videos because you actually share your knowlege that you've learned. I learn some stuff from your videos that I never had a chance to learn. (If school wasn't so expensive I'd take all courses) When you brought up mitochondria in a video it reminded me of the classic game Parasite Eve on the play station. If you haven't made a video on the game yet then I'd like to hear your take on the biology because there was some pretty interesting stuff from the game. If you don't have time that's cool just keep doing what you do the best. What ever topic you choose I'm bound to learn something new or even have a new outlook on something because you've shown me a different perspective.
You should make a lore for chief armor change from halo 4!!! I love your channel dude!!!👍
thats a good idea!
about falling from great heights there are techniques to improve your chances of survive falling from great heights mostly by spreading your weight rather than receiving all this force on your legs
DUDE, do the anatomy/ morphology or whatever you’d call it of the monster in the movie “A Quite Place”
I may make the jump over to movies here soon because that thing was AWESOME looking! good suggestion man!
Didn't know any of the IIIs got the same augmentations as the twos.
You were at 100 subs a few months ago, major congrats on the massive channel growth.
its Insane that's for sure! and thanks man!
Wow... "92 subs!" now 90+ k later XD congrats!!
Thanks my guy! Never thought the channel would take off like this, I am exceedingly lucky!
maaaaan, just the size of those needles and the fact that they're going into Carter's HEAD makes me sick. And the thought of my liver being sliced in half. >.< *cries* I really clutched my side with a look of disgust and terror on my face. no lie.
A gamma III off his/her smoothers, fun times.
so much fun
Can u do the 2s or 4s
omarcj789 that's a good idea bro, I've got a few videos lined up but a spartan II video will be coming out!
Roanoke Gaming thanks and if you want more supersoldier to poke at try marvel and dc comics and movies
omarcj789 not a bad plan, I just don't know too much about those universes, but video games is where I thrive Haha
Roanoke Gaming well if games are more you're thing try the mass effect trilogy and andromeda or metal gear series diversity always helps
This dudes channel is about to blow the fuck up.
One can hope!
was spartan III augmentation superior than spartan II augmentation, since they had better technology, and had learned from previous mistake? Or was it just safer but less effective in terms of physical capabilities?
More technologically advanced, yes, produced better soldiers, no. it was much safer and was able to avoid the mortality rate of the Spartan IIs
@@RoanokeGaming Why wouldn't it produce better soldiers? The augmentations they got were the same as S2 or more advanced versions of those. The S3 candidates may not have had the same 0.0000001% genetic markers as the S2 candidates, but those were highly unrealistic standards anyway and didn't matter that much in the end. S3 training time was shorter but they had the advantage of incorporating lessons of the war against the Covenant, lessons from the S3 training program and having overall superior trainers (Kurt AND Mendez).
Taking those factors into account they should be about equal to the S2 (disregarding combat experience, obviously) or slightly better. Most of them never got the glory of the S2's due to being sent on suicide missions and being even more black ops but at least this point it should be clear they can do everything S2's can if given the same equipment and support.
Only situation I'd prefer a squad of S2's over S3's would be on a long duration behind enemy lines mission like which Black and Grey teams partook in. And that only applies to Gamma company due to their need of their antipsychosis medication.
Tbh honest the SPARTAN III's had the best traing and the best augmentations and are thus the best SPARTAN program..
@@kallemort the problem is the s2s are iconic and you can't have icons be outdone by new guys even it would make sense in universe.
@@kallemort from what i remember, the Augmentations the 3's got were slightly less powerful than the 2's, as well as the Genetic restrictions for the 2's giving them an edge as well. Unarmoured, a 2 would beat both a 3 and a 4. the 3's were basically made for "this is unachievable for ODST, but we dont want to waste 2's" missions. then the 4's got aug's that were less effective again, due to being essentially unrestricted, then they were given Gen 2 Mjolnir to bring them close to 2 levels.
Both of them paled next to the 2's though, they were essentially seen as almost the next stage in human evolution, and were given better augmentations, abeit waaaay riskier ones.
I think honestly I'd rather be a 3 then a Spartan 2 at this point
They are pretty cool...just easier to kill lol
I think the headhunter guys are pretty kick ass
Head hunter, why dont I know this reference lol
I thought I heard about spartan 3s that were basically assassins, I might have gotten the name wrong
Jason McAllister I believe the spartan IIs were assassins, but the IIIs were more like just mass produce soldiers, meant to go out and do the missions no one could, at least that's how it was made known to me
Hey there, I dont know if you will read this, but I really hope you do. May I just say I find your content incredibly entertaining, informative and interesting. I am a big halo fan and love the lore, but I would rather watch you then other big halo lore youtubers ( halo follower being one ) and find myself watching your videos multiple times. Thank you for the content I do thoroughly enjoy it.
I am glad you like the content bro! I know ive got a lot of competition out there so I am glad you do decide to watch my videos!
I do indeed, I enjoyed your L4D witch video a lot too so its not just exclusively halo lore I am enjoying. Also I noticed in one of your videos " my three European viewers" when mentioning a height of a elite, that was a nice touch to convert that to feet for us. You Have another European viewer ( im UK :) )
ayyyeee even more reason to throw in some more metric haha I should also be having some more L4D lore coming out soon! I am glad yall find my videos entertaining across the pond haha
Indeed, I look forward to the L4D lore!:D!!
I do wonder though, what the result would be if the Spartan 2's had undergone the chemical augmentations similar to those for the Spartan 3's, along with their own changes. I would love a see a video speculating the results of such a program. Granted it would have a much higher fatality rate, but the soldiers produced would be interesting to say the least.
That would have been awesome but rendered borderline monsters IMO, I might be able to do something like that in the future tho!
@@RoanokeGaming I actually had a handful of things I've been thinking about since I started watching your videos. Like, what if the necromorphs got a hold of a spartan or two? or even pilot from Titanfall?
Great video. Did Installation 00 take down the detailed SPARTAN II Aug' s vid or was it taken down... it just won't play... Did they perhaps use some copyrighted footage or something.... I can play n watch anything else.
so if a spartan 2 fought a spartan 3 without power armor (them both unarmed and unclothed), would a spartan 3 win become he can outlast his opponent?
bruh 100 to 27k subs in 3 months congrats
thanks bro! lookin forward to 28k tomorrow hopefully!
B342 had mjolnir armor as did the whole of noble team.
To my knowledge, (prehalo 5) the IIIs had broader gene restrictions then the IIs because they needed more of them so after augmentation the IIs were gods among men but the IIIs were more demi gods not having such invasive and serious aug. And i though the IIs had both chemical and surgical implants and and aug, did they do any retconning? I could be wrong now.
Will
I believe the IIs definitely had chemical enhancments to speed up their developement but as for chemicals during the process I am not certain, I will have to research it some more!
Roanoke Gaming i just remember reading all about it. Also i forgot to mention. The IIIs had broader because they werent as elite gene wise but because they had the mental motivation from being orphaned. If most IIIs went toe to toe with any IIs naked every II would win. Unless they were marked as a III with the same genes then they got the same aug and usually armour and put in special squads (see nobel 6)
That's horribly inaccurate genes have nothing to do with it in fact bc the III's had better training and better augmentations they'ed likely win.
I love this, but the gameplay is bothering me more than my soda exploding after I finnaly open after repeatedly taking it out and putting it in the fridge due to not wanting it.
Deets on the SPI armor!
That's a good idea! I will need to do some research!
Ghosts of Onyx mentioned it the most. It had three versions, I believe. The last version LCDR Ambrose was the one he fought tooth and nail for because his last attempt before Gamma Company's activation got denied because it was "over the budget".
Given it's nature as a "semi powered" armor, does this armor offer some degree of enhancement of strength and speed? The only things I've heard about it are it's superior to ODST armor sets and it's got a "poor man's" version of active cloak. It's also meant to be mass produced and easier to build than MJOLNIR armor.
Can you do the strain
92 SUBS!!!!!! YOOOOO
I think it should be noted that Spartan threes did not receive the same exact augmentations as Spartan twos since they were not wearing mjolnir. Hence why the augmentations were not as deadly as the Spartans ii
Actually, Roanoke Gaming, you can decrease the tension on your liver by increasing the time it takes for you to decelerate after a fall. More time to stop, the less G-forces on specific parts of your body. Check out ShoddyCast’s SCIENCE video on ‘Mirror’s Edge’.
In fact, here it is: th-cam.com/video/reFDUUza9tU/w-d-xo.html
Now I have the ability to answer! Correct, force/amount of time could lead to you not dying, but I wonder at If you are still bruising your organs!
@roanoke gaming i gotta disagree with you on the armor, unless its a plothole and noble six survived when jorge threw him and he REENTERED THE ATMOSPHERE because plot armor
Its noted that the armor is nowhere near as good as armor given to the Spartan IIs. Its still fairly strong but I think it was a plot device IMO
@@RoanokeGaming magical plot armor it is then hahaha
plot armor is life!
Noble Six had mjolnir armor.
I thought the pituitary gland sits below the brain tho
Do the Didact. That will be interesting
As a biologist, im sad to see that you didnt go into detail or talked about alternatives we use in science today to accomplish similiar effects.Making bone structure stronger, using epigenetics to alter vision/cone densitiy, supplementary drugs to supply muscles with oxygen and like drugs from e.g. Amanita muscaria that made the nordic berserkers really "beserk" = aggressive
I'm more based in the microbiology field so I don't know everything there is to know about all things concerning the human form. That being said, that is some pretty interesting stuff! Is that what your field is based in??
No. Im also based in microbiology, but stuff like this is biochemistry 101 :)
Not trying to mock you or anything, it's just i had high hopes once you said you were also a biologist^^
Ahhh biochemistry, my old nemesis haha I took one course on that as it was required and noped out! What are you doing in micro right now? But you've also got a good idea, connect the lore to actual things happening now that we are working on, I'll see if I can't include that in my next augmentation video!
its cool man! I didn't think so. I hope one of my other videos hit the target haha I don't want to make it too dry for people (granted it would be highly informational) Figured this might be a solid middle ground though!
He said 92 subs worth way more at the time even
seems like a life time but also not that long ago!
@@RoanokeGaming lol I dm you on Twitter as gals fucking beard saying you were my lore master xD
I got A LOT of questions for you
i see lol
Now at 72k
I wanna be a spartan
The Spartan 3s sound weak from a strategical point of view. An ideal spartan overall would be John-117, who is able to make (for much of his career) calm and calculated decisions that wouldn't be clouded by emotions at critical moments - especially during firefights.
Spartan 3 = Doom Slayer army
*RIP AND TEAR!!!*
I lost my copy of the Ghost of Onyx novel :(
:(
F
12 year olds instantly reaching puberty lol😂😂😂!!!
pretty crazy to think about those battle hardened soldiers are basically teenagers
Roanoke Gaming yeah also going back to neural physics I think it’s supposed to mean the universe is one gigantic organism
and flood is a cancer!
Roanoke Gaming indeed!!! The literal cancer of the universe!!!!
92 subs when this video was made. >100k 11 months later
GAMMA
Go on
ODST lore!!!!!
That's a good idea! I wonder if they are just 100% home grown human or augmented in some way
actually most of the way I play is instinct driven, in other words I go in hard and fast with overwhelming firepower or go in stealthy to pick them off one by one till discovered then attack them hard and methodically.
hahahahahaha, you think these spartans are aggressive, take a look at the Space Marines from Warhammer 40k
*thought he was nicked when a needle tore his chest*. No, he took multiple needles and he dies right after. He was being sarcastic
Thats more about hes able to stay alive with his chest torn open than an actual "Hes okay" sort of thing
Yes Spartan 3s are very aggressive we're Spartan 2s used to brutal finishing counters and they're close combat Spartan 3s would go on a brutal Close Quarter assault
basically theyre all badass
