Thanks to Noble 6 Master Chief is alive. Dang

The Rookie from ODST shouldn't have been killed off. Would have made a cool character to be the next silent protagonist as a Spartan IV

Spartans don't die, they respawn in five seconds.

KIA? Spartans never die only Missing in action.

I'm really surprised no one went off and became a merc or something. You'd think there would be big bucks thrown your way if you were a super soldier for hire.

the saddest/ most epic death in the halo searies is noble six. : ,C

RIP Black Team

I just can't get behind the new Spartans. My liking for the Spartans ends at Spartan 3's. The newer ones are just regular soldiers in armor, they can't even WEAR Spartan 2 armor never mind match up to one. It's why the whole 117 vs Locke thing pissed me off, there is no competition. The only new Spartan i have respect for is Buck. What also annoys me is how Palmer tries to do the whole 'Macho Soldier' thing and calls the scientists 'Egg heads' and crap like that. The Spartans were chosen from the best of humanity, they are not unintelligent brutes with shiny armor.

@Sgt.Sniper 74: There were no Spartans in Halo 3: ODST. Unless you're referring to Mickey, Romeo, and Buck, who did eventually join with the Spartan-IV program. If so, the fact that they joined wasn't revealed until well after this video was made.

*Spoilers ahead* Jun still works with the SPARTAN-IV program as their recruiter. 3 formers from ODST Team Alpha-Nine were recruited in 2554, after the death of the Rookie. Rookie's death pushed Taylor "Dutch" Miles to retire and return to his homeworld. Edward Buck, Kojo "Romeo" Agu, and Michael "Mickey" Crespo were recruited by Jun into the S-IV program. SPARTAN Crespo turned out to be a traitor, along with Schein (deceased; suicide bombing during SPARTAN-IV training), selling out his two fellow SPARTANs during a covert mission on the planet Talista. As of 2555, SPARTAN Crespo is on trial for crimes against the UNSC and defecting to the Insurrection. Rest in Peace, Rookie. Feet first into hell.

2:25 “A special skunkworks variant...” Are you telling me Lockheed Martin survived for 400 years?!

MY favourite spartans 1-Sierra 117 2-John 3-The demon 4-Master chief 5-Kurt

@joshua Masters: Joshua-029 died during the Battle of Reach. Sorry :(

@Campbell Crane: I generally avoid going outside. It helps.

What about Captain Rex and Cody?

Office of Naval Intelligence Section Two Directive 930: To maintain morale among the forces of the UNSC, any Spartan casualties are to be listed as Missing In Action (MIA) or Wounded In Action (WIA), but never as Killed In Action (KIA).

@Michael Lorah: The "Spartan 1s" had over 100 successful augmented soldiers, most of whom survived the missions they were sent on. Their fates after ORION was shut down is unknown, save for Avery Johnson.

Spartan IVs are just decent to good soldiers in very good power armor. They're definitively at the bottom of the totem pole when compared with the other 3 SPARTAN programs and are probably only superior to ODSTs and Marines and are inferior to other classes of super soldier.

You forgot Spartan-1337 D: (Aka from the halo legends story the odd one out)

you forgot about soren 066 the spartan that when ape shit and ran off after blowing up a huge ship that doctor haulsy said he should of survived and is mia

@Jonathan Western: Nope. John was a unique case. He was given Cortana for OPERATION: Red Flag, and they were kept together because the pair worked well. The only other Spartans ever paired with an AI was Naomi-010 from the Kilo-5 books. She was paired with an AI called Black Box, and that was really just for fun (in Black Box's eyes).

God dammit 343 stop killing off the Spartan II's ! Thats what the Spartan -IV's are for .

die? No, Spartans never die...they are just respawning.

Great videos. I've been a huge Halo fan for more than a decade, but your channel proves I have much to learn! I'm mostly out of date on the newer Halo info and this is getting me excited for when I pick up the Master Chief Collection, Halo 4, and Halo 5

It's kind of silly how many secret special rogue Spartan operatives they keep adding to the lore. It was cooler when it was simple - there were very few Spartan-IIs left after Reach, then the Spartan-IIIs came along and most of them were wiped out except for those that were in the Battle of Onyx. And then the Spartan-IVs came along. But then they keep going "oh, and there was this team that tested top secret gear, and this team that was more independent than other Spartans, and this one Spartan who was allowed to retire", at a certain point it's like, come on! Enough already!

@Lance Hall: What happened to Jun is never seen or explained. We know he was escorting Dr. Halsey to Castle Base (as we see at the end of Halo Reach), but when Halsey meets up with the remnants of Red Team, he's gone. The next time we see him is in January 2553, when he's recruiting Sarah Palmer for the Spartan-IV program.

You got a new subscriber . Your knowledge of Halo is top notch .

Spartans never die. They're just missing in action.

Sucks that Noble Six died...

@future marine : Black Team is from a short story and the comics. Red Team is something different. When the Spartans IIs split up, they would assign temporary team names. Blue, then red, then green. So the Red Team I mentioned here is just one Spartan-II red team that once existed. They are still referred to as Red Team for the sake of simplicity.

love to see this updated

I was wondering why this video had out of date info, but then I saw when it was posted. Overall, well done :)

I always knew halo was better than cod

My favorite spartan is Fred-104. He's pretty badass.

This video was phenomenal! I hate it when people muck up the lore or take too long, and you did neither. Great job :)

Hay what about 1337? He was great

Great video bro! ~Chris

They should all get together and have a party, or something....

@unjusthero3: The video was from Spartan Ops, the info from The Kilo-5 trilogy (Glasslands, The Thursday War, Mortal Dictata).

Remember though that a spartan can never die as they can only be reported as MIA (Missing In Action) so this video technically has no use as any and all Spartans could still be known as alive. Just saying.

I think you have the best halo channel... Unlike others it is so lore rich... I love it hahaha keep it up

Awesome Vid! Keep it up dude

Is it just me or did anyone else give more of a shit about the series when it was believed John-117 was the last Spartan?

I remember when we all thought master chief was the last spartan.

I didn't know that Jun escaped, but then again I didn't know about most of these spartans...

This is something interesting I found out Sgt Johnson is in the Spartan I program

10,000 Like!!!! Thanks for the Vid. I'm always curious about Halo Lore, specifically the Spartans. I hope you make new ones. Especially since Halo 5 is out and Halo Wars 2 is coming. :D

Might want to update your annotations. Mark, Olivia, and Ash are still alive, just listed as KIA. Details are in Last Light.

Well, Spartan Team BLACK was just found dead in the new Escalation. :(

I think you might have forgotten SPARTAN-B170, an S-III of Beta Company. We don't know much of anything about B170 (even gender), but what we do know is that in May 2545, Kurt-051 tried to have them and Lucy-B091 sent on a deep recon mission to avoid the anticipated bloodbath of Operation: TORPEDO. While Lucy did end up assigned to TORPEDO, whether B170 managed to avoid it or not is unknown, as is what happened to him/her afterwards.

As always, expertly done Halo Canon 👍

Great job on the graphics and might I say I only new about blue team

There are no dead Spartans. Only MIA

Update: The Uro-Didact ( who is still alive ) murdered all members of Black Team, who were found by Blue Team.

Cool video. Very well done. Thanks

Watched this a few times already but enjoy watching it everytime

Wasn't black team killed by the didact at installation 03?

You should have at least added in a list of all dead spartans in a sort of a credits fashion lol

I forgot they considered Emile extremely important and that they couldn't lose him so it makes sense for them wanting to rotate him out

LOVE the metal sounding track from the oni sword base level in halo reach! my favorite halo i think

red team is a alive halo war 2 is coming

@mason brito: I double check with Halopedia, but the knowledge comes from books, comics, guides, encyclopedias, etc. Pretty much every bit of Halo media is available on Amazon. r/HaloStory has a pretty good list of Halo media: www.reddit.com/r/HaloStory/wiki/literature

@Luis Viramontes: The interrogator isn't Jun. The voice is different and he doesn't look to have Jun's tattoo as far as we can tell.

Welp I suppose now that it's been 3 years just about, these are the things I can remember as far as surviving Spartans go: -Fireteam Osiris: Locke, Buck, Tanaka and Vale being the central characters of Halo 5. -Red Team: Jerome, Douglas and Alice now officially confirmed alive in Halo Wars 2 and are still active as of the current events but are on the Ark assisting the Spirit of Fire. -Omega Team: Leon, Robert and August. Though reintroduced as a leader power for Jerome and so are not actually canon in the Halo Wars timeline right now, they are confirmed alive canonically but we just don't know what happened to them following Arcadia. Furthermore they have confirmed that Jerome was their Commander. -Black Team: Obviously updated but yes, Black Team are confirmed KIA by the Didact. -Grey Team: Confirmed alive in one of the most recent Halo novels. -Romeo, Dutch and Mickey: Originally ODST's from Alpha Nine Squad under the command of SGT. Buck but transferred to the Spartan program. However on that front, Dutch retired following the death of the Rookie and Mickey went rogue meaning only Romeo is active as a Spartan as well as Buck from that group.

The Spartan IV's are a joke.

Jerome-092 is alive he's in halo wars 2 he and the other spartains among the spirit of fire live and fight on

“Black Team is currently stationed at Ivanoff station orbiting Installation 03” The next 72 hours:

Looking back at this Great Job! You messed up when you said Rosenda might of been swapped in for Emile, but Rosenda was originally on Noble and Emile took her spot

@Steffen Ngo: It's from the prologue to Halo 4

Spartan 2s are the only ones that matter 3 and 4s aren't even on the same scale as the twos

I'm just glad chief gets to reunite with Frederic, Kelly, and Linda in halo 5. Linda is my absolute favorite, considering her sniping skills are off the charts and chief claimed she is the "strongest" Spartan, though he didn't mean it literally. Though I wonder if 343 will tie in Frederic's care for his fellow Spartans;he always found it hard to get over a comrade's death. I'd also like to see Kelly display her superior speed and durability. Watching her outrun everyone would be priceless. :D

hey love your videos just subed

Spartan-IIII are nothing but ODSTs given power armour designed for Spartans.

ash, from the battle of onix? this is no coincidence.

In my opinion I think it would be great if they make Halo 6 where Locke will kill Cortana and Chief and Locke will fight and these remaining Spartans will take sides or something like that

Soren, from the Evolutions novel. He however became mutated since his augments went wrong but his survival is unknown since a body was not found after he crashed a ship

Spartans never die they are just M.I.A

Hey remember me? I had a conversation with you in the comments and I wish I could remember the name of my old account so I could ring a bell, I think it was C0MMANDER R0B0T or something like that. Hoping you can remember me. Anyways I just wanted to say hi, keep up the great content and thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it. Hope you read this soon and have a great day.

Would love to play a game featuring these Spartans and their missions. The spec ops feel of Reach was amazing

Forgot to mention the unknown number of headhunters that survived, Spartan IIIs from alpha,beta, and gamma company were all included and the headhunter program was reformatted and Spartan IVs where integrated into it. People seem to forget about the headhunters a lot. I find them really interesting.

@Grass King: If the IIs did receive [GEN2] or Mk. VII, they probably would be stronger than than the IVs. Regarding Mk. VII, as far as we know, there was only 1 suit ever issued, and that's the one Naomi got.

A MAJOR correction. Jorge-052 is simply missing in action and more than likely alive. He is not a confirmed kill by any means. Remember the slip space bomb only destroyed the covenant super carrier "A Grave Threat" cutting it in half. He was however on the covenant Corvette "Ardent Prayer" which was FULLY enveloped in the slip space rupture. Even without the working ships of the Corvette he has access to: 1 - Fully working Pelican with likely rations and ammo supplies. 4 - working Saber craft His survival and ability to return is far more likely than Sgt. Johnson after Halo: CE return to Halo 2 out of a magic hat trick which was referenced by "Guns" Gunny Sgt in Halo 2.

Hey with Olive Mark and Ash their all alive because in the Halo last light novel they were written of dead by ONI and turned over to Veta Lopis to form her own squad of Spartans to hunt for murderers.

Nice video i am surprised with how many Spartans survived

what about SPARTAN-1337

Meh, i know im stating the obvious when i say Spartan4s aren't really Spartans, their super soldiers at best. Nothing against your video, and i know the controversy is even part of the story, im just throwing this out there cuz it still bugs me. I honesty wouldn't have counted them in this list. Spartan Training, Mjolnir Armor, and Augmentations started out as separate programs, related at best. The Spartans where doing missions even before augmentations. The Mjolnir armor program was intended for wider use and was completely separate. And only became exclusive to the Spartans because the last normal test pilot to try a prototype suite shattered his bones just trying to lift his arm. And since Halsey was involved in both programs, she was confident their augments could compensate. So unless they got the training, their not Spartans. Meeting the standards of a spartan after enlisting and training through normal means, is a feat that most can't achieve.

Great work

Ash, Olivia and Mark were "listed" KIA but are actually an ONI investigative team with their "Mom" Veta Lopis.

Noble Six is also rumored to have survived. If you look at the elite's armor on its foot (the one that walks up and just activates his energy sword) it is the Arbiter. In the halo 5 trailer, the Arbiter is instructing a spartan on how to find Master Chief. Therefore, the Arbiter could have saved Noble Six on Reach and is telling him how to find Master Chief.

Shame 343 just axed off Black team for no reason in the comics.

We learn in the Halo Graphic Novel that Sgt. Johnson was part of the Spartan 1 program. That makes him even more awesome :)

Pretty cool I read and have all these books you mention, Gold research My dude ^-^

Seriously all these Spartans running around and we were losing how?

Yeah, that Spartan that "left the program to start a family"? That's non-cannon. Has to be, because sexual lust was surpressed in the Spartans during their genetic augmentation

It's actually revealed in Halo Last Light that Ash, Mark, and Olivia are still alive, but became I believe a black ops squad for ONI after their lack of medication for their augments caused them to become hyper aggressive and almost uncontrollable.

Correction to the true designation of [KIA] to Olivia-G291, Mark-G313 and Ash-G099. If you read a lot of Halo books, you'll already know about the G which denotes "Gamma company" of the SIII's. They had mental augmentations which allowed them to remove the limit of stimulants within the brain (like adrenaline), consequently leaving them unchecked and nigh impossible to stop when they were in a rage. These three were on "smoothers" to keep them from becoming mentally unstable on their own. *SPOILERS* (Last Light Book) Later in the story, Fred-104 leads the three Spartans accompanied by inspector Veta Lopis in capturing a Forerunner ancilla/monitor. They are soon trapped deep underground and it takes days for them to reach the surface, by at which point the SIII's have run out of smoothers. Although they manage to keep themselves from trouble (excluding Mark briefly taking a UNSC Sgt. hostage) the fact that they were off their smoothers and an open threat on Gao would damage the Spartan program and the UNSC's reputation heavily. So ONI, being the clever bastards that they are, find a way to kill two birds with one stone. They decided to "disappear" the spartan III's by marking them as KIA and turning them into Ferrets or as Serin Osman calls them - "investigators with teeth." Serin Osman personally picks them up and proposes that Lopis become leader of the Ferret team. She accepts, and the three Gamma's no longer exist in the record as Olivia-G291, Mark-G313 and Ash-G099, but rather as Ferrets. tl;dr They're still alive and now have a "mom."

5:07 wait only surviving Noble team member? so 6's fate has been confirmed?

What do they do to Spartans after they take their armor off, (like what they did with Master Chief at the end of Halo 4.) Does anyone know what happen to them?

Sam you will be missed #RememberSam

I'll never admit that Spartan 4's are actual Spartans. They're like kids running around with their fathers toys.
