Spartan-II's-Children abducted at the age of 6. Had intense training. Later given augmentations for bones, strength, speed, sight, agility, hearing and reflexes. They had a black body suit, than Mark IV Mjolnir armour, then Mark V Mjolnir armour, then Mark VI Mjolnir armour and a few had Mark VII Mjolnir armour. IMO the best Spartans. Master Chief was one of them. Known as Spartan-117. There was funding for 300 Spartan-II's. It was later reduced to 150 of them. It was reduced once again to 75. Some are still alive. Very disciplined Spartan III's-Orphans taken and trained by Kurt-051, a Spartan-II, and CPO Mendez, trainer of Spartan-II's. Less extreme augmentations. Used SPI (Semi Powered Infiltration) armour. Some used Mark V armour, such as Noble Team during the fall of reach. (BTW Jorge in Noble Team was a Spartan-II, the other five were Spartan III's). There were more of these spartans but they were "disposable". They were sent on extreme tactical suicide missions and had a 90% chance of death. They weren't as good as the Spartan-II's but were great soldiers. Some are still alive. Spartan IV's are adults that volunteer to join.They use Mark VII Mjolnir Gen2 armour. They have less severe augmentations and aren't as powerful as Spartan-II'' or Spartan-III's. They aren't as disciplined as the other Spartans. I personally don't like them as much. There are many of them aboard the UNSC Infinity. Spartan I's are just normal augmented humans. It was a failed project. Sgt. Johnson was one of them. That's why he is resistant to the flood and can't be infected. Mjolnir Gen 2 armour is any model from Mark VII and onward, I think. The suit that master chief has is the first Gen. It looks different in Halo 4 for two reasons. 1) New artwork 2) Whilst Chief was in Cryo sleep, Cortana used nanobots to slightly modify his armour. Hope this helped

In Halo 2 I saw them as the "good guys". They left the Covenant because they knew about the Prophets lies. Some elites were too blind to know what was really happening and stayed with the Covenant even though the heretics tried to persuade them. The Arbiter only killed the Heretic leader because it was his mission. I don't think he knew that the Prophets were lying.

Did you know that Sgt. Johnson was a Spartan-I?

Are these still going on. If yes, I would love to join. I haven't played Halo Wars multiplayer in a while now. Unfortunately my mic stopped working a couple of days ago. I can hear people talk but when I talk no one can hear me. I can follow orders though.

I can image him returning in Halo 6. Halo 5 can build up to getting Cortana back and defeating the Didact once and for all. I think he's still alive. We hear him talking at the end of Halo 4. I'm not sure if it's only on legendary campaign but we here him talking about how humanity is one of the Universe's biggest threats and anyone who disagrees with that must be blind. (Something like that). I'm pretty sure he is still out there somewhere.

I agree. Thel was following Master Chief on The Pillar of Autumn when they discovered Installation 04. The Halo ring seen in Halo CE. I think Thel's mission from then on was to stop Master Chief from destroying the ring. He failed and was stripped of his rank, armour and pride. He was then offered to become the Arbiter and destroy the Heretics. I don't want to go too overboard, but this is what I remember. If I'm wrong about something than please correct me. Basically, like what most others said, he wasn't on Reach during the death of Noble 6.

We can't just go around building Mammoths and Pelicans because the UNSC have one thing we don't have enough of today, the resources. We are getting lower and lower on resources day by day. In Halo, they have inhabited life on other planets and could mine for more resources, we only have Earth which will eventually run out of resources. Sure we've got a quad bike which is almost a Mongoose, but a Pelican will take to much energy to power. I don't think they are behind on technology, they have shields and slip space. You are right about the weapons though, they could at least fire lasers. I like the weapons though, I feel more realistic firing a human weapon instead of a covenant or promethean weapon. I think we will have advanced to some sort of plasma/laser/hard light weaponry by then though.

I agree, those are some very good points. Halo Reach was very entertaining and still has a strong population. Hopefully some of these features will appear in Halo 5.

Thank a lot!

I don't think you can do it in game. You can check commendations but not medals. I think Halo Waypoint on the internet is the only way.

I think she's alive. Chief probably feels that she's still alive. He knows her almost as much as Dr. Halsey. She must be out there...

I'm confused about all these awards that people have. Some of them require you to participate in something, how? Do you get invited or are you notified about it? I liked 343's page on Facebook and for some reason I don't have the Facebook award. Why? Did I like the wrong page? Can someone please help? Thank you.

Yeah, the should add an upper class Hunter. They had the gold ones from Halo 3 ODST but those ones only shot differently. They did look badass though.

I hope it will either come up on Xbox 360 or Xbox One because I haven't got Windows 8.

There are many things we all want for Halo 5. I would like skulls back, scarab, a UNSC aircraft (pelican was only in one campaign mission but was epic),some of the older guns and many more things. The problem is, when they add something new in, they take something else out. We keep looking forward to the same thing each time. The good thing is that they improve them. I don't think we will ever see a needler rifle and a carbine in the same Halo (for example). We might never get some of things that we really want all in the same Halo. I'm not blaming 343, maybe they don't have enough time, I just don't want you guys to bring your hopes up to high. They might add the things we want in, but take something else back and make us want it in the Halo after that.

Just like what Rerun4911 said. In the article it said that they said they don't care about numbers. It won't be a ten year anniversary of Halo 2 if it was released 2015. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens.

Halo 2 anniversary is coming out next year according to this: http://www.oxm.co.uk/57066/microsoft-discussing-halo-2-anniversary-downplays-talk-of-2014-release/. It would be great if they released Halo 2 anniversary next year and Halo 5 the year after. They would even get much more sales. Only the hard core Halo fans will get them both on release in the same year. (Maybe not hard core but I'm guessing not many people will. I will though.) They did say they care more about releasing the game than the money. I think it's too late to delay Halo 5 now.

It's true that all armour in Halo 4 has their own functions, properties and reasons, but I think they made their appearance a little too crazy. Halo 3 had great armour and the armour in Halo Reach was alright. Now it feels like the armour has no value. 343i tried to make everyone unique, honestly I just feel the same as everyone else. Even though there weren't many armour sets in Halo 3, they were still better and had more value in my opinion. I think they looked better and had a better challenge to get.

I agree with some things that your saying. I disagree about finding stuff around the map though. Considering that in multiplayer we are Spartan IV's, we should have the GEN 2 Mjolnir Mark VII armour which comes with built in invisibility anyway. You are right about keeping AA's but changing some of them.

I don't know but many people don't like this and 343 know they messed up and will do better next time...hopefully.

It'll probably the Prometheans or Covenant again.

I think that a few attachments would be okay. Depends what they are and how many of them. If they have maps based in day and maps based in night, they could add a flash light. They could also add a silencer. It would be cool if you could unlock them.

We know that the Arbiter is still alive. He is with the UNSC. It tells you about him in Halo The Thursday War book. I haven't read it but I saw someone post something about how he is still alive. I don't want to spoil anything but all I will say is that the Arbiter won't betray Chief or the UNSC and he is still alive. I'm not sure if we will be seeing him in any more Halo's though. We probably will but I have no idea when. In Halo 6, he might join with the Chief again and have some epic fight at the end. I have a feeling the Arbiter's going to die. If he does, it will be an epic one.

I can't wait to see the Prometheans in Halo 5! I think they were pretty terrifying when we first played Halo 4. Especially when they charge at you and when they open their mask and see their face. That was awesome. In Halo 5 they might not controlled by the didact though because he is supposedly "dead". This might make them weaker or stronger but either way I think they will definitely be more aggressive and scarier.

Armour Abilities are a useful/helpful feature. As long as 343 make the right ones (not like armour lock in Halo Reach). Don't get me wrong, armour lock was good when used in the right ways, but really annoying when people used it before they were going to get killed and then kill the other player. They would've taken the other players shields down with the armour lock and then finish them of when the first player deserved the kill. Hopefully 343 know what they are doing and judging by Halo 4's armour abilities, they do.,
