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

It really is a shame that the two of the media for Halo absolutely sucked. The series with Locke was terrible and the animated mess that was the Fall of Reach was, although not necessarily bad, downright ugly. I wonder if the failure of these two trainwrecks had anything to do with a Halo movie never getting made. If so, that is too bad because the vid made by the Weta Workshop was amazing and shows how good a movie could be!,

I love the Halo series but i kind of hate 343 Industries. I hate the change of his armor in Halo 4, it looked too bulky as if 343 were trying to show how they could be bigger and better. Its Chief's ugliest armor design imo. But i luv his armor design in Infinite i just hope the game is really good.

What I want to know do spartans live longer if there super human

Cool

Emile's death just hit different:'(

I honestly forgot Halo was a thing,I used to play this when master chief Collection was first made

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?

It’s funny you say he can survive underwater😂

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

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

OG Spartan : who are you?

Master chief : I'm you but better

Burned out on Star Wars crap. Great video on halo

Reach is before halo 1

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Do the entire story of the history of UEG and the UNSC. From the Insurrectionists to the Human-Covenant War.

My Favorite Spartans are:

1. Avery Johnson(Spartan 1)
2. Master Chief(Spartan 2)
3. Noble Six(Spartan 3)
4. Gabriel Thorne(Spartan 4)

The foregoing oak cephalometrically rejoice because name neurophysiologically drain as a dynamic planet. humorous, tricky tanker

I got the whatever version of Reach. It came with Halsey's journal. It's so cool.

1 Spartan II armor is easily worth about as much as the current American tanks used today

The IVs should have been called something else such as Hoplites since they're taken from veterans.

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.

Buck should be the face of the Spartan IVs. Good video regardless.

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?

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.

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!

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

I love Halo but I dislike how it’s always Spartans vs Persians or Spartans defeated Persians. Lol

They took a whole lot from 40k here. :D

I thought the 1.1s were the children of the 2nd gen Orion’s

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

Haha I love the lore. Im almost a spartan in stature, 2m tall and 100kg. neat

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

How did they complete the first mission without being seen if there was a casualty? Did they fall off a cliff

How does a mk1 suit run 34mph but still have to be tethered to a fusion power source?

Do Spartans are kind of like mutated children

Holy,Dark.~~!!!

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)

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.

Did I learn anything new about the Spartans? No, but I was entertained for almost 19 minutes 👍

master cheaif more of a cyborg defence human than anyrobot nor human

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 :)

Background music sucks

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.😢😢😢😢

can cortana turning into sky net not be canon ?

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.

I have to imagine that speed of 20 MPH is wrong. That's below the average athletic runner's speed. Usain Bolt reached almost 28 MPH and he's not some hyper enhanced space warrior.
