Halo Lore | Biology behind the ONI Spartan II's | Augmentations, History, Program, Training, Lore 

If you liked the video, please feel free to sub! The channel is growing and it's pretty exciting, thanks for watching yall!

I've personally experienced time slowing down as I was a US Marine who'd seen combat. They actually warn us about this during training but it's something else to actually experience it. I can say without a doubt it's the most disorienting thing I'd ever felt.

Spartans are VERY interesting in my oppinion. Great you did some explaining about the biology behind these "iconic" super soldiers!

The thing I love about your Spartan videos is that you take characters we already know are bad ass and open our understanding of how bad ass they really are.

Human eyes can see a lot more than 30fps naturally, with motion blurring sure it is harder to tell the difference but the point stands. Try playing something on a 144hz monitor and then stick it down to 30 or 60hz and tell me it doesn't feel horrible. Other than that really loved the video, keep up the good work my dude.

Oh that explains the high mortality rate... Ow.

Wow, that animation with John fighting the ODSTs in the gym looks like a ps2 cutscene

Hey this guy went to college!!!

This channel is awesome; I like that you actually talk about science in the games. It'd be cool for you to talk about Destiny. Especially the Fallen's weapons

Do the ELITE LORE!!

Their heightened reaction and reflexes along with a body capable of moving much faster than normal allowing them to perceive time slowing down relative to themselves reminded me of Point-man from FEAR and imagined what HALO would be like if they incorporated that gameplay mechanic into it. It would be cool if someone created a mod with sound and graphical tweaks into the single player campaign of the remastered version of Halo 1,2 & 3. But it would need to be ported to PC with full modding allowance.

I've experienced the phenomenon you described at 12:10 and I still vividly remember how strangely long those few seconds felt

12:25 there was an experiment done, where a professor took his students to a carnival ride that free falls you like 100 feet into a net, and setup a clock that cycles random numbers. when the students fell, as they looked at the clock they were able to repeat the numbers they saw on the way down.

Wow. Out of all the Lore videos I've seen from many youtubers (Hidden Xperia, Hallo Follower, etc.) none have been as detailed on the actual biological upgrades the Spartans received. Great work on the Visuals as well, really helped me to get a better understanding of what you were talking about. You deserve more subscribers.

The detail put into the anatomy of the augmentation is just great.

11:22 They better be careful, they are midget compared to John.

My man, you just earned yourself a Subscriber. Please keep doing these.

This has probably been said by many others but I want to say it aswell. I learned more about biology from this than school and college taught me.

Listening from the future. Your content only gets better.

*time slows when they're frightened* Same with pigeons

Amazing my dude

How the hell does something which boosts your hormone levels and muscle growth reduce sex drive??? Wouldn't it be the exact opposite?

Here I thought Witcher enhancements, gear and training was badass.

Can you do anything in warhammer 40k like space marine biology

Gods do I love this channel when I’m working night shift! Great work can’t get enough.

You got a decent amount of the facts right on the Spartans. Not bad.

excellent videos. Love the more technical analysis. thumbs up.

love me some science. It's my favorite subject after all.

Hey mate, first of I would like to say I just discovered your channel today and I love it! Second I was wondering if you have considered covering the different supersoldiers from warhammer 40k?(astartes, primarus astartes, thunder warriors, custodes, primarchs etc). As I would love to hear your take on them.

One reason I love halo is because I love the science and biology of the things in them

"Okay, if you grow any further all of ur bones will break" "k, whats the next procedure" "were implanting some human growth hormone into u lmao" " :( "

Bro... you said you wanted to hit 600 subs some day... Well look at you now!!!!! 282,000 subs later!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!

Finally! Someone did an actual biological analysis of the augmentations, simply amazing I loved it! Great video my man.

This is why Halo is one of the best

Great stuff dude!

great video but but the 30 fps limit is a myth the USAF has a test for their pilots that disproves this but otherwise great video!

Am I the only one that goes back and watches his videos from years ago????

Definitely can see more than 30 FPS but good vids

You make these sound like they’re possible right now

Really enjoy your vids man, keep them up :D

Dam this really is very scientific and very in depth biology and dam Spartans are really fast!!! And normal humans can react really fast!!!

I recognize that bladr and sorcery music Roanoke! Lol

"I am at 588 subs, and would love to see 600" Congrats on over a million subs in 2024!

it's bath day boise time to be cleaned by the holy content.

Physician, nerd and gamer right here. Awesome video, keep it up!!!

You deserve waaaayyy more likes mate. I love you"re vidios. Btw im a biology and halo lover to. Ive been wishing for this vidios for years now. Please keep it up !

Hey Roanoke what's up bro I loved the video and i was wondering what if humanity was nocturnal

only spartan IIIs had that spartan time, it was caused by a chemical only gen 3 spartans were injected with. Other than that and the average 30 frames people can see at, this is one of the best most informitive halo vids out there! awesome video man

Are you telling me humans have he ability to use Za Waurdo when we’re really stressed!?!?!

I love your breakdown of the biological marvel that the Spartans were and just explainining in detail how godly they actually were.

I would like to see how some of the spartan modifications would affect people with what could be considered abnormal traits like biological mental illnesses and other conditions like hyper flexibility and so on perhaps finding individuals with particular mental illnesses and higher levels of resistance to physical damage would be preferable as they could have higher survival rates

Wouldn't the absorption of the growth hormone in the thyroid contradict the carbide ceramics, seeing as it would stimulate the increase of bone density? Just wanted to ask. Love all your vids as they're eyeopeners into the reality of some of my favourite franchises.

What would a Jedi with this be like? I mean, Jedi have force healing, and a few other goodies that could help survive this. So would a human with the force make a great spartan?

they are worthy of their name sake

“Oh ya, that’s a bummer” 😂

It fucking amazes me why spartan time wasn't an in-game spartan spartan ability...

Wait, so they put a plate on the bone to reinforce it, but if the bone grows it would cause it to shatter. Why would they then introduce a hormone that stimulates both muscle growth and osteoblast production. Would that cause the bones to grow and damage themselves?

the "dodge gunfire" id accurate, you can fo it in the game, at least with the plasma weapons

That made me piss myself. Master Chief ran so fast he tore a tendon. The only way to beat John is in a race change my mind

Exercise science degree paying off 😎

Would you consider doing some mass effect lore? Or dragon age?

*12:10* I've experienced time slow down in an Adrenaline Rush during a fight in Highschool! This guy 3-4 Inches taller than me tried to start a fight with me to prove himself to his friends, I tried walking away but then as I turned my back to him he pushed my back with both hands pushing my Shoulders in a Quick motion. I tried walking away to reach the door during lunch but I guess my fight or flight response kicked in and my body just turned around completely and said "fuck it" ....as I faced him *I gave him a quick shove with both hands then dropped a downward right hook across his Left Cheekbone IMMEDIATELY after I pushed him, and after that anything I followed up with seemed like he LET me do it, it felt like he was just STANDING there lookin at me, because TIME was moving sooo slowwwww* *After that he pushed me up against the wall and kept me against it and I started punching the sides of his ribs with my left hand, then pushed him away to get off the wall, as I wrapped my arm around his neck, I just turned and rotated until I got him on the ground, by that point I landed on top of him and was getting ready to give him the ground and pound and start punching him, but his fat friend pulled me off of him and Then I stood up* , the Assistant Principal was walking our way and was facing me the minute I stood up, I then shouted saying "IT WAS SELF DEFENSE! HE STARTED IT and Pushed me 1st!" and started walking to the Office already to explain myself as I walked to the office I could hardly catch my breath! *The amount of energy I let loose in what felt like 3 Minutes was actually HALF that, the entire fight barely lasted a minute and a 30 seconds* (._.) After Googling the effects of an Adrenaline rush when I got home, I realized the reason it felt like time slowed was because my PERCEPTION of TIME Sped up! *In the end the Nurse came to the office and gave us Ice packs he needed one for his face which his Cheekbone swelled like a Purple Grape, and I needed an Ice pack for my right fist since the pain relief from Adrenaline had worn out and my Right Middle knuckle was on FIRE* (._.) *Adrenaline really is a Life saving hormone to say the least, it can mean the difference between Life and Death in survival situations, especially during fights* (._.)

11:37 I have an average of 230 seems like the "norm" for competitive gamers is 200. I quiver at the thought of being stuck on speeds such as almost a whole second of reaction time.

My reaction time is 180ms at 21yo. I believe 200ms is the average reaction time for people my age. 20ms reaction time for Spartans, that's pretty cool.

This is awesome

Spartan 2 are yeah God Tier Spartans, but gosh that's alot of side effects but worth it in the end. No wonder Spartans 2 dont have the thoughts of intimacy that's huh rough though efficient.

REAL SCIENCE PLUS SCIENCE FICTION ! *MIND BLOWN*

the fact master chief didn't murder the fuck out of oni yet is strange given they should be aware of how fucked what has been done to him

Is it me? Or Halo is ridiculously realistic in its lore with science/technology & politics today? Bungie was hitting the nail on the head when it comes to predicting the future.

Nice job btw

Spartan’s, 40k space marines without the absurd spade magic bullshit.

What anime is the cut scene from? 3:55

In the fall of reach novel, chief dodged 30mm less than lethal rounds out of a giant ass mini gun on a mark one suit at point blank

Halsey was a monster

Adeptus Astartes next pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

I have said it once to some friends and I'll say it here the augentations used to make Spartan 2s is the best because they seem to be the best also Spartan time should be made a game mechanic in single player.

so there is what doomslayer did before demons.

wait if they grew after the augmentations their bones would SHATTER? at 14? If i'm not mistaken Master Chief is actually pretty big. Grunts and flood spore/popcorn are actually about avg human size but appears small in the games because Master chief is so damn huge. Wouldn't that mean that he was already this big when he got the augmentations?

11:59 so they too achieved ultra instinct of their version?

Futuristic AAS

Can we make spartans 5-10 years later

What, our eyes can see alot more than 30fps where the heck did you get that. Good vid though

Anime at 4:00?

Were they not given a sedative when undergoing these augmentations of their body?

Title: Spartan II morphology Video background: Spartan IIIs being augmented...

Why were their not any augmentation to the lungs

Would Captian America manage as a Spartan with his Super Soldier syrum alone?

Seriously man u think? Are eyes can see in 30fps?. Besides that awesome video!

Is this more plates more dates?

I see at the equivalent of 54-62 frames normally, depending on my interest/focus. I've actually hit around 100 *before* an adrenaline rush, and nearly double following that as I realized how epic such speeds could be, I saw the individual flaps of several bugs' wings simultaneously, it was so cool.

How far are you willing to go to save humanity, even if you lose your own humanity in the process?🤔🧐

Speaking of Super Soldiers, now I want to know about the Gene Seed of the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines of Warhammer 40,000. I try to debate in my mind which is more powerful, a Spartan or an Astartes/

I'm at 588 subs. Hahah look at you now! woo!

How close are we to being able to replicate any of this tech

Why MC don't change armor color and put new things on his armor while blue team got new things?

God damn

Spartans are from the Tribe of Dan and it is said that all TRUE Spartans also descend from Hercules...

Why do Spartans look so skinny? Shouldn’t they be jacked as hell?

Music at 12:01 ???

I know the whole "time slows down in great stress" idea is real but i wanted to know where you got the frames from?
