my favourite thing about the presentation of the Spartans and the rest of the forces on the ring in general is the extensive backstory taught through the audio logs and environmental details, it allows you to really understand the scale of the conflict
I love Spartan IV's. Heck, I have a Spartan OC that's based off my MP Spartan. People want our MP Spartans on Zeta Halo, but if they were then they would probably suffer the same fate. Heck, It's kind of happening now in my Halo RP Discord. Despite being OC's the Spartans in the server: ll's lll's and IV's are all working together and they're still getting destroyed by The Banished, even with Swords Of Sanghelios. The Banished are just so strong and we even have Banished Spartans in the server as well. It's crazy and fun honestly. We are small and lot of people are to busy to Roleplay or just Observers or just trying to make they're first OC but... It's still so much fun. Sorry if I advertised or made this comment feel cringe.
Since Halo 4 Chief has been assigned to the UNSC Infinity. During his assignment it would be a poor underutilization of his military resources to not have him mentor, coach, or train with the rest of the Spartans assigned to the Infinity. While these Spartans aren’t Blue team or maybe aren’t particularly close friends, from Chief’s behavior in Infinite, I’d guess he knew each of the KIA personally before Weapon identified them, and likely had some form of personal relationship to them.
I need to mention that the fates of Spartans: Vettel, Korvan and Horvath were all described in the deleted audiologs from the campaign. Canonically they're in a gray area, they can always be retconned if any writer working for 343i would want to write a future story featuring these characters. Anyways the fates of the spartans are as follows: Spartan Vettel: After locating the location of Spartan Griffin, Vettel was cut down by Chak 'Lok after an attemp to infiltrate The Tower Spartan Korvan: After entering a long range engagement with the Banished, Jega Rdomnai quickly caught up to her. As she was dying Jega taunted her with the fact that her fellow soldiers will soon be killed by the banished. Spartan Horvath: A day before the Master Chief's arrival at zeta halo, Horvath located the house of reckoning and Escharum with it. He planned to assassinate the war chieftain himself in his own fortress. When Escharum was recruiting members to join the hand of Atriox he killed some of them before ultimately engaging Escharum. After being defeated by him, the leader of the banished showed him respect before ultimately beheading him. Here's the cut audio logs: ruclips.net/video/tr0-ztl0FqU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/tmaWUN-Wva0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/yWs5AQFVbrM/видео.html
The only reason i never mentioned them was because Kelly Gay asked for those logs to be cut. She gave Kovan and Horvath a story and they were teleported away from the battle of Zeta halo, but Vettel is in a gray area as thats what most likley happened. Although I dont see a spartan 4 with Vettel's skills dying to Chak'lok
Like 107 said, the stories of those Spartans are clarified by Kelly Gay in her novel Halo: The Rubicon Protocol. It's a great read, I even listened to some of Infinite's audio logs while I was reading because they do match up. Hope we see more of Horvath, Kovan, and maybe Vettel
@@teary-eyedstew yeah I've read it too. Thing is that the book ends on the last halo infinite audio log and it got me wondering if the cut audio logs were also written by Kelly Gay.
@@ryan_1099 Yep the entire fireteam castle was it or domino was wiped by the helmless elite and his forces on an ambush. Luckily Majestic had cutscene plot armor and killed the guy
On this ring the Spartan 4s earned their titles
Amazing summary of the fate of each of these Spartans. It was great to hear some more lore I hadn’t heard before.
great video analysis.
To be a Spartan, Is to fight to... just BE HUMAN

@@TheSpartan107Official ight I never knew the reason behind the audio logs being cut, thanks for the clarification

@@ampexpl I hadn't thought of that! It might be fun to ask her that at some event in the future or if she has socials or something
would have been so cool if when chief found them all we got an ODST style video of what you just described in this video.
Glad i got this recommended given the low viewer count 🙏
Really fun video, gonna dress up as one of the members while playing Firefight now :)
canonically, aren't Spartans not allowed to be listed as KIA, to increase their mysticism only allowed to be listed as MIA, "Spartans never die"
At least for the Human-Covenant War. Is that still true after?
@thestormwar as of 2258 spartans are allowed to be listed at KIA to honor that sacrifice instead of cover it up
Great videos, please keep Halo alive with content like this. Microsoft is obviously struggling with it
Halo infinites story was honestly cool and interesting, do much wasted potential.
Love the video man, keep making them!
Spartans never die. Just MIA
nice vid :)
To be a spartan 4, and seeing the chief come and resuce you. Man.... what a moment.
After reading Rubicon Protocol, I really felt for Stone. Girl went all out in the end, scary to see. Man I want a spin-off where we play as Horvath.
You wanna know something stupid? 343 is trying to convince us brutes more dangerous than prometheans.
@@TheSillyDragonflyI don't know why peeps still think Bungie is the same Bungie from 15 years ago
Also a lot of Spartans died on Requiem if the ones in Spartan Ops or campaign count lul
Kinda depressing to think about actually
@@ryan_1099 Yep the entire fireteam castle was it or domino was wiped by the helmless elite and his forces on an ambush. Luckily Majestic had cutscene plot armor and killed the guy
Yeah with the new humanoid Greg design, “ha my ass!”
N’tho an usze killed over two dozen knights with nothing but energy swords lol… in hunters in the dark
Is 343 trying to show us that Brutes are dangerous, or Spartans aren’t so strong anymore ?
actually, griffins' status is MIA because Spartans never die due to morale spread by oni
Next Kayne West dealio.... That was a lil cringe bro and I love Kanye
The Kanye West ruins the tone of this entire thing in a good way.
