Talk:SPARTAN-II Project/SPARTAN-III Project

rename

I have renamed "Spartan-IIIs" to "SPARTAN-III Project," as the SPARTAN-II Project is named before it. "Spartan-IIIs" reads to informal for an encyclopedic entry. Also I have a cropped picture of the SPI armor from the cover of "Ghosts of Onyx," message me if it's appropriate to put it up and that it doesn't violate any copyrights. --Conquistador48

Someone has edited in a picute of an S-III in SPI armour; without a copryright tag. Please take this down, or put up a tag. --Conquitador48

Idea...

great article, but I have an Idea.... I was trying to start an article on the SPI Armor, but while I know much of the armor, I am not a writer in any sense of the word... so someone who reads this article, who either, knows more than I do, and/or is good at writing wiki articles, should start an article, for instance a title could be: SPI Armor. just a thought, but otherwise, nice work on this article people... and as I note, I think it would be appropriate to post the picture, but you should probably ask um, one of 4 people, 1: Eric Nylund, 2: Tom Doherty Associates (www.tor.com (publishers)) 3: Bungie (bungie.net) 4: Microsoft... (microsoft.com) althought the last two are one in the same :S... --EkimNosredna

It would be best to ask Microsoft, since it is their property. Kidcorona 22:41, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

MA5K Assault Rifle

Not sure if it would belong here, but wouldn't it be understandable to believe that the MA5K Rifle, and possibly any other weapon given to the SPARTAN-III's, have the ability to camouflage much the same way the armor can? Otherwise, it would be tactically odd to see a gun simply floating there.Razer of Chaos 19:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The weapons would have to be modified with photo-reactive plates that are on the SPI Armor, or an equivalent technology, and a power source for said camouflaging system. Kidcorona 23:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Spartan III Beta Company survivors

There are several more Beta company survivors than what you listed. As several of them were captured and assumed missing when they ventured into the secret facility on Onyx.

No, Beta company's op was on Pegasi Delta, unless you mean Gamma company, in that case find and cite proof of their abduction. Kidcorona 02:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Confused...

I don't think Katana should be listed as Active Duty. They are in suspended animation. WIA, KIA or MIA don't hit the mark either. Is there anything else?

But they're still alive, which rules out KIA, and in one piece, which rules out WIA. Also, they're with their squad, so not MIA, and all that is left is Active Duty. Sign your comments with four ~. Kidcorona 07:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Armor in Halo 3?

Is there any true confirmation that the SPI armor appearance will be used in Halo 3's multiplayer. The E.V.A. Armor does share a similar helmet as the SPI Armor, but it really is a different style of the MJOLNIR armor used in the game. The trivia comment should at most say that an armor variant resembling the SPI Armor will make an appearance in Halo 3's multiplayer. But again, I could be wrong and missed the info saying it was the SPI Armor. Razer of Chaos 18:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Bungie has made some fancy names up for the new armour (EVA and CVG[?]), but yes it does look like the SPI. Added to this some people have reported seeing more than one Spartan in the E3 trailer, but none of this is confirmed. Bronzey 02:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

It is worth noting, though, that though we have no confirmation, the likelihood of the EVA and SPI armor being the same (or at least, canonically similar) is very high. Remember that the SPARTAN-IIIs were developed after Halo 2, and they were produced by the hundreds. But as always, it's best to wait for official confirmation. Amalga 03:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that. If you view this article and this site you'll see that the SPI armor and EVA Variants are not the same, after all. Amalga 03:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
