      @andrewshepherd1633 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Right, but the problem is the book says 300 died in the Alpha Company and 298 from Beta. This was (supposedly) because Halo Reach hadn't been released yet and the game developers were starting to get a little pissed at the authors for writing without consulting them on the stories (basically so the continuity is good) and so they decided to throw a wrench into their stories to put them on notice.

    I dont understand this tactic.
    Spartans are special operation capable units. They're supposed to be the scalpels of war, used to make very precise surgical strikes, not used for heavy muscle especially in a scenario like this.
    The UNSC clearly wanted a stealth mission, given their gear. So a much smaller team plus ample support elements would have sufficed.

      Ron never really mentions it of course cuz he’s trash but In the book it says the spartan 3’s were created as suicide soldiers. Completely different than spartan 2s. Their armor was much cheaper as was their augmentations. It’s a terrible tactic yes but ONI expected a 100% casualty rate, the same thing which happened to alpha company (also 300) who were sent on a different suicide mission.

    • @jaymikevillanueva1212
      @jaymikevillanueva1212 4 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Two words: Colonel Ackerson.
      When he created the S-III Program, he intended them to be cheaper and disposable supersoldiers to buy time than gain tactical victories.
      The entire op, on my view, was a waste of resources, lives, and funds. This operation only didn't change overall war effort, the Covenant managed act as if nothing happened and continued to steamroll the UNSC even if you pushed then back at other refueling stations. You could achieve the same results and create just as much destruction if you send smaller teams of Spartan III headhunters to take out the refueling facility.
      Those S-IIIs would have been much useful if you spread them out in places where their training and skills would be best used at to hurt the Covies. Those 298 Spartans could have made a difference everywhere else while still terrorize the enemy and augment other UNSC forces as force multipliers. I wager ONI knew this but they let Ackerson run the show. The ambition, the ego, and idiocy of Ackerson is why the UNSC wasted 298 fully trained supersoldiers.

      It wasn't really a bad idea at all war requires sacrifice and had the op gone on the way it was planned I'm sure there would be significantly less casualties I mean it was a covert mission which is why they were less equipped than even regular Spartan III but the mission was blown the second they touched down they were incredibly unlucky with the odds stacked immeasurably against them and yet they still somehow managed to accomplish their mission they were children some as young as 10 if Ackerson was trying to make a point he made it respect to all those who served in Operation Torpedo

    And they did destroy a few of the seraph fighters .and apparently a few covenant capital ships that were so massive they were mistaken by the STARS (an acronym for some baseball sized stealth satellites)as a part of the factory which is why the seraph fighters were attacking the spartan 3s so quickly .if you want more detail then my comment and this video then I reccomend that you read the halo book Ghosts of onyx

    Now remember, this battle was the second time this took place. The first company, Company A were completely wiped out during their mission which I believe was an attack on a ship building facility. This battle involved Company B. Company C's activation was during the final year of the war and not a lot is known about them other than they were shipped out from Onyx save for a few squads who were on planet when it went all Forerunner on everyone. Presumably Company C were on Reach when it fell but it is uncertain as the spartan 3 teams there were comprised of other members of A and B who were not assigned to the high risk assault missions.

    It was a shame that most of Beta company except for the ones removed for special assignments were taken out in action but their sacrifice saved many lives. This was the only choice without losing much military assets. Sending in spartan 2's and many soldiers would be a strategic loss and a waste of assets as you are essentially killing off spartan 2's and losing their armor that is worth an entire battle group and many soldiers live's. Spartan 3's are good in this case as they have the numbers and strength of spartan 2's. Also, look up on Operation: Prometheus. A large scale operation performed by Alpha company to destroy a covenant shipyard.

      @thespikeheadboy3164 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@sabrelevine4241 it's good, so don't worry. The thing about Operation Torpedo is that there is a high chance of death. The spartan 2's are good but they have less than 40 members who survived their augmentations and with the casualties inflicted on them during the war it makes things even worse. The amount of funding the spartan 2 program got was insane and losing them would be a waste of assets. This was during a time when the UNSC were fighting a losing battle and the highly classified spartan 3 program was activated.
      Dropping down vehicles and weapons would be a bad idea as well since anti air weapons would take out the vehicles and equipment. It would also give away their position.
