(Halo) SPARTAN-II | We were Children 

Sorry to correct you on sonething but its "AND i dont do bits and pieces". Sorry again

Jumping out of thing is fun.

I have much the same interpretation to you. Though I like to think that John would be capable of showing his affection for Halsey in his own way. It is tragic though. To add to your point, Halsey’s arguably greatest creation and in a sense other daughter has now become the new overbearing threat to the galaxy and is specifically targeting John. Just another nail in the coffin.

I can agree with that. Something that's fascinating that no one achknowledges is that Cortana's personality is mirrored completely off of Halsey. So Cortana's deep rooted connection to John might stem from that branch or it could have been coincidence that builds the relationship she does with him. She treats John in a kind bashful way as opposed to how John was treated while in Halsey's care. Cortana is a reflection as stated so aside from rampancy wasn't this outburst of perfection with the Guardians inevitable given her creators personality or is she simply a fragmented mind clinging to a purpose she no longer understands?

I think one more tragic thing is John and Cortana's discussion about who is a machine, John is a human that made to resemble a machine while Cortana was a machine that was made to resemble a human. It seems like a sick paradox

John is definitely NOT the biggest tragedy in the S-II program. I forget some of the names, but some had horrible starts before Halsey selected them for extraction. Serin is one example I can think of. Her mom was a junkie and abandoned her before age 6 and Halsey picked her up. She completed training, but almost died in augmentation. That's when Admiral Parangosky recruited her into ONI. If you don't remember her, she was the ONI officer who gave Captain Lasky the green light to take out Halsey in Halo 4 Spartan Ops. You should definitely read the kilo 5 trilogy.

@@Bryan-uw1ny I didnt write that John was the most tragic part of halo, but a tragic part rather.

honestly, I always found that the spartan 3s had it worse. Their parents threw them out to be experimented on and possibly die horrible deaths on the operating table, and they were old enough to know that as well as be hated more than spartan 2s because they were looked at as more expendable and weren't made by Halsey. Most went on headhunting missions that were almost a 99% mortality rate, later renamed as suicide missions because of that statistic. hell, even ODST's were considered less expendable.

@@ArgonianInSkyrim spartan 3s we're orphans and well lower the risk of death on a operating table spartan 2s are the ones you are thinking of but one thing is wrong the parents did not know that about their kids since them we're replaced by flash clones that die in a week

@@theblackswordsman3612 I just recently found my mistake and was hoping no-one would catch it, but they did (in some cases) have to watch their parents die, and I am talking about the spartan 3s because each spartan had a different reason of being there. There were never really any flash clones involved with spartan 3s for the most part though.

@Splint3rb3n thx, and facts

@@ArgonianInSkyrim you are right for spartan 3s yes there was no flash clones for them since them were orphans do to the covenant but how ever spartan 2s on the other hand yeah them needed to have a flash clone to replace them since them had parents

Why? Serious question. 343 contributed nothing of quality to the Halo universe so far. All they have done to this point is stolen the work of other people and made it infinitely worse. What in the hell makes you think infinite is going to hw different. Just another dumpster fire made by 343.

@@requiemagent3014 and you know it's a bad game... How exactly? Cause I bet you've played it for soooooo long now

@@ArgonianInSkyrim That is the worst argument ever. Halo 4 and 5 were both a disgrace for the Halo IP. 343 has a track record of making garbage. They can't even make a port of a game that came out in 2001. They had almost an entire year of delay and had absolutely nothing to show for at E3. This is just another Cyberpunk. The fact they hide their non existent work so much is more then telling. But 343 fanboys like you will never learn. It's not like they ever made anything good in their short existence. Go outside and touch some grass. That is literally all you people are good for

@@requiemagent3014 I bet your great at parties. (Doubt u get invited to them but yeah)

@@requiemagent3014 and also no ones gunna listen to your points if there unjustifiably negative. The gameplay for infinite looks good and a return to form. 343 have learnt there mistakes and there back with a promise that I believe will be delivered. Gotta have some optimism man.

That is the case. I beleve it's first mentioned in the book Silant Storm, which is set a few mouths after the death of Sam 034.

for some reason I only just I did't notice this comment till now. But thank you for the encouragement it means a lot.

Agreed

Thank you so much! I’m currently working on a dedicated John 117 video and hoping to get it finished before infinite release. I hope to do just as well in that tribute.

Well I'm very happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for your service.

Thank you. Well they did just add forge and campaign co op to infinite so now is just about the perfect time.

It always comes down to the fact that even with all the horror that’s the Spartan program caused if it was never done humanity would’ve been wiped out. As horrible as it was it proved in the end necessary.

@@rohanthomas4134 I think people keep forgetting this was not done to win a war this was first done to keep people in line the war happened after they had training and augmentation not because of the war but to keep people in line and underfoot of the government

@@lunasnightshade I think it would be more accurate to say that ONI wanted to win the (what seemed to them due to the Karva findings) inevitable mass conflict with the insurrection, and by extension prevent the predicted deaths of billions. What ONI did to facilitate the Spartan 2 program was utterly monstrous and in principle unjustifiable, but it was about more than just control of the population. To someone like Halsey it was about survival of species, and she was vindictive in the end but that still doesn’t make it right.

I can! and I'll do it again! "insert evil laughter" also thank you for your kind words.

@@rohanthomas4134 I immediately heard O'Malley's evil laughter :D

Well I’m happy to hear that I managed to move you that way. Thank you.

@@rohanthomas4134 👍

Thank you! I’m happy to hear that my passion is appreciated.

Well I'm booth thankful and flaterd by your appreciation. Funny thing is, I think I'v goten a lot better at this since macking this video. My most recent Video infact is all about John. If you liked this vid then you'll love that one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HD2Am3J_YYM.html

"incert evil laughter"

My glad you appreciate that parallel. I. I’m working on a dedicated John 117 tribute right know and there is certainly going to a lot them in there when it’s done.

I agree with your unpopular opinion.

I like the design and detail of the armour but it always bugs me so much of how thing both the forearms and biceps are for these perfect soldiers. Just looks unnatural

well I'm happy you had such a stong reaction.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll certanly try.

Thank very much for your kind words. Fear not, for it appears that the algorithm has decided to notice me after all these months of making videos. It’s really quite surreal to have videos suddenly go from getting a dozen views a day to Well over 100 views a day and suddenly realise that one of your creations is approaching 20,000 views. I figured as long as I keep going people keep coming and I’ll be happy with that.

@@rohanthomas4134 That's wonderful to hear! Congrats! And I look forward to see what else you put together, going through all your other videos right now actually.

@@Drededangel thank you. I’m currently working on a dedicated John 117 tribute right now. Hope to have it finished before infinite. It will take some time but I’m really happy with how it’s coming together.

I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you.

why thank you.

@@rohanthomas4134 you're very much welcome c: great editing skills you got there

Thank you! I figured I’ll get there eventually if I just keep going, especially cus halo is on the rise again.

While I totally agree that the Spartan 2 program is evil regardless of the net positive it gains for humanity, I strongly disagree with your assessment of doctor Halsey and her motivations. It is made very clear in multiple sources particularly"the fall of reach" and First strike" that a significant if not the primary motivation driving Halsey is the Insurrectionist threat and the possibility of large scale human civil war predicted by the Carver Findings. As far as Halsey and the UNSC are aware, if drastic action is not taken to stabilise the political situation within the colonises then humanity is on the track to tear its own society apart and kill billions in an interstellar nuclear war. I would definitely agree that there was an element of morbid scientific curiosity and ego that drove her proposal for the spartan 2 program, but that does not invalidate the (as far as Halsey and the UNSC are concerned) grim necessity of the program. In addition, it's made clear in "the fall of reach" that if Hasley tried to delay or refuses to move ahead with any of the unsavoury elements of the spartan two program (witch she strongly considers dowing just prior to augmentations when the candidates are fourteen) then ONI would just replace her with someone less concerned with the child candidates welfare. There are several instances of her feeling immense guilt over what she did to the Spartans and by the end of the human covenant war she has come to believe that the choice she made to embark on the project was wrong and subsequently does everything in her power to save the Spartan 3's on onex defying ONI and the UNSC in the proses. (ironically it's this act of attempted moral penance that gets her arrested and scapegoated by ONI) She absolutely cares a great deal about the spartan 2's especially John, there are numerous instances of that being expressed over many books, comics and games. While there is a certain dissonance to her caring for but still putting the Spartans in harms way, as soldiers it's important to remember that by the time that the Spartans are actually deployed the covenant has already made its threat known. In the face of such an existential threat, it would be madness not to deploy the greatest soldiers in human history against it. We see her express affection or concern for the spartan 2's in almost every interaction she has with them across the whole franchise.

@@rohanthomas4134 honestly couldn't have worded it better myself.

Thank you good sir

Lol

well, I was recently found by the algorithm so I reckon I'll be getting a few more at least. Lucky me!

well I'm very glad you think so.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

I agree. To bad every attempt to directly adapt any of the halo stories have ether been ether incomplete, canceled or . . . the show.

Thank you so much!

And most of humanity will never now.

BATJAX 😊

Yep, i didn't need them

Well do aim to emotionally attack my viewers.

well, you'd have about a 1/25 chance of dying in an accident during training, a 13/36 chance of dying during augmentations to get the suit, Plus an about a 1/3 chance of dying in the human covenant war so who knows how long you would have it but yeah, you would have a pretty coll suit.

@@rohanthomas4134 I'd do it for the height. My ass is short and I'm tired of always been called "shortie"

Thank you. I was certainly going for that.

thank you. I'm working on a master dedicated Jhon 117 video right now actualy.

Well actually in the lore the spartan program started out with 150 candidates but only 75 were taken to reach, between the augmentation washouts and those killed in action most died. There are however at least 12 active spartan 2's that being Blue team, Red team, Gray team and Naomi 010. There are more than a dozen Spartans who were ever crippled during their augmentations and thus never entered combat, retired and became a civilian or deserted from the UNSC. Even with 20 years of content were still not sure.

wait until you hear about the spartan 3 suicide soldiers.

Thank you! The funny thing is that I’m currently macking a dedicated John 117 tribute video that is intended to do fill exactly that role. I only hope that i terns out well.

@@rohanthomas4134 if it turns out half as good as this it will be great^_^

@@musicwarrior7630 thanks. I guess all I have to do is finish it before infinite drops.

@@rohanthomas4134 looking forward to it^_^

Well I might do something like that in a video down the road.

She is cool. though I'm personally more partial to Lynda.

Well, this was made at a time when the only Infinite content we had was a teaser trailer and a preview of the first cutscene. I can't deny that the multiplayer content is pretty botched despite a pretty fun core. Narratively I think Infinite is a bit of a mixed bag but its positives soundly outway its shortcomings.

I love that that they included it, wish I could unlock it without spending credits though.

Thank you.

It's from "Homecoming" one of the anime short films from Halo Legends. Specifically, the scene where Daisy and Ralph are talking in the wilderness.

Yep ):

I chose the title as a reference to a quote from kelly in the Fall of reach movie. In the video you can hear the quote at 7:16 in the video. I chose the title because the video's major focus was on how the Spartans are child soldiers how had any chance for an ordinary childhood stolen from them.
