Also who knows what Librarian’s gift exactly did when it activated his geas and accelerating his physical evolution.
I hate developed Futher on this one. Hopefully helps make him much more stronger would be great and has a rematch with Attriox and this time it has a different outcome
I think he more like the ancient humans and is going to live longer while staying in a physical younger state. He might live to be 100s or 1000s of year's old.
@@BreakinUpBuds that is an interesting one
Hopefully he comes closer to ancient humans, I would like that
@@BreakinUpBuds I’m pretty sure in 00’s breakdown of the Spartan IV’s that he explained the augmentations would allow them to live well into their 100’s, I wonder if the II’s are already up longevity wise
maybe this could work as an explanation as to why we went from health packs in CE to regenerating health in Halo 2 and onwards.
These already exist in the form of bio foam injectors
^
As was mentioned, the in-lore reason for regening health post CE, but not in Reach, is because the Chief got his new Gen 1 Mk VI armor that included built-in biofoam injectors. The Gen 1 Mk V armor as seen in CE and Gen 1 Mk V(B) armor from Reach did not have the built-in injectors, just ports where cans of biofoam could be injected (such as when a health-pack is picked up in-game).
hey guys, thanks for the replies. I'm not too well versed the lore of the game. I understand now but it does seem silly that the suits seem to have a unlimited supply of this bio-foam. Maybe 343 or the guys who write the books might end up saying that the chief uses bio-foam, on top of the healing augments but I know that idea isn't canon, also that it may never be canon.
@@mrhbn9251 Spartans do heal very quickly due to their augmentations. Not video game quick but for example, Douglas-042 was able to recover from having his shoulder literally crushed by atriox before the end of the conflict on the ark. As for the regen in the games, it’s basically just a mechanic to have it be infinite
I'd like to point out that in one of the recent clips of infinite, it shows the the Harbinger launching Chief like a ragdoll a good 100 metres through stuff and only stops after crashing into a rock and immediately gets up and is ready to fight like nothing happened (I am aware he has armor on), yet Thorne got beaten up by a couple of elites and looked more banged up afterwards. There will always be a difference in Quality vs Quantity so its not really surprising to think Halsey would have kept working to make the remaining 2's even more deadly and up to date.
Well, thorne didn't have his helmet which completes the connection to his suit. so he woulden't have been at his best at that point in time, and even then he still took down a few elites in hand to hand combat. something a normal marine could never do.
@@cripticgamer2063 True, there's a massive gap between a Marine and a Spartan-IV, but there's a massive gap between SPARTAN-IIs and IVs as well.
@@bromtaegan4606 yeah well I mean the 4s most senior veteran not the spartan 3 transfers are what only half a decade at most as a spartan? The Gen II ARMOR compensates for Spartans iv augmentation to he as powerfully as a spartan 2 in Gen I
@@wb7585 Aye, right again, but a Spartan-II in Gen 2 armour retains the advantage over the IVs. Not just through augmentations or armour, but a Spartan-IV without a helmet is... Pretty weak. Still above Marines and ODSTs, but even without armour, IIs are a lethal force. It's part of them in a way that the IVs just can't understand. If they could, then they'd finally be able to be true Spartans. Until then, they'll always feel like weaker and lesser copies.
@@bromtaegan4606 considering the Locke who is a highly trained oni assassin who went behind covenant lines multiple times prior to his augmentation was able to hold his own against chief (neither of the two was trying to kill on another only incapacitate) and do damage to a 2 that they wouldn't just let happen even when holding back that's wrong. IVs might not have as potent of augmentations but they have a wider range of them and their armor makes up for the lack strength
Well given that by the time of the Spartan 4s. R&D in augmentations had advance to the point where individuals at least as late as their late-40s like Buck and individuals in general who failed Halsey's gene screening could be given Spartan-level augmentations. It indeed makes sense that few remaining Spartan 2s who are of among the physical peak of Human abilities could and should receive retroactive augmentations to better their combat and tactical capabilities. I would hope such is give more light in the future.
Right, very agreed and a good point-out. The whole reason Halsey did her genetic screening protocols, went through gene augmentation and then even a step further physical augmentations leading to structural superiority (muscle and bone both) alongside advanced biometric integration of next-gen neural link interfaces.... ALL of that dangerous (psychotic, ...?) process was simply so she could get her IIs to where she could sync them with MJOLNIR.
The Retconian (*COUGHS* I'm ok, sorry I mean the Librarian... hey I'm forty now, I love sci-fi and grew up with the Bungie era) said that her geas likely led to all of these advances, and considering all of the very meticulous (and illegal) lengths Halsey had to go to in engendering this terrifying sequence of events is... premeditated even by my sci-fi standards. I know Bungie didn't just dump everything after Halo 3 and disappeared narratively (Reach maybe withstanding?) they had notes and story and lore and yay! and I love it. I really do like the deep-dive of the Forerunner novels, and just... gah.
Honestly the Halsey Journal is my favourite thing Bungie's EVER given me. And I *LOVE* the games. *hugs* I love that journal.
Halsey and even humanity as a whole was obviously following a geas to reach this point, what was the trigger? AI? The horrific brain-scan tech that makes smart AI? I know that Forerunner ancilla are implied to decay but only after millennia, it's still terrifying to me that they used Composing Technology in the way that it works... and used it on other advanced species preferentially... much like Halsey's flashcloned brains? Good gracious mercy. Everything she did was dark op as F, and I don't even know here. I just don't know.
I was the *ONLY* moron screaming "MIRANDA'S HALSEY'S DAUGHTER" at Halo 2 all those years ago, due to the books lol... Annnnnyway.
The Forerunner are ok with driving a lot of folk insane as long as someone is productive regarding "The Plan." Sounds kinda familiar.
Gosh I'm babbling a wreck I'm sorry, anyway you're right and I'm incredibly impressed with the R&D (ONI was going nutz I'm sure for a while now) leading to new Spartans... and honestly I'm GLAD to see the IVs, scared but glad. I'm just... it's like with all black ops mate it's, what'd they do to get to this point? You know folk in ONI were doing a LOT of stuff with her protocols... and happily pin all of it on her...
Being an old girl, I've got the "Original Halo Encyclopaedia by DK Publishing" from back around Halo 3, where even then they had a profile section of Buck.
"If he was any better, he'd be a Spartan."
Well colour me intrigued and OH Halo 5 alright yes please oh gosh no I'm sorry no I'm sorry no.... but Buck and more IVs yes.... gah no...."
Best wishes Dr. Chief, I hope you're well! Thank you for your thoughts and time. :D Be safe
@@wren7195 just how much do you know about the Halo lore? 😳

00: “if a normal person had a chunk of his leg burned off by molten metal they’d be practically unable to keep moving.”
*Actually I think most people would be practically unable to keep living…*
Femoral bleed is a helluva drug
@@hf117j if your leg was badly burnt you wouldn't bleed, the wound would be cauterized
@@commandingsteel let's not forget that the Heated Projectile would impart Kinetic Energy, meaning that some chunks of your Leg would be Torn or Shredded instead of Cauterized
@@avery1647 true, but my guess is the armor stopped most of the kinetic energy, but still allowed the heat to pass through
@@commandingsteel I guess, but it really depends on where the Projectile hit. The skin suit that is apparent between the gaps in the Armor Plating might not be able to fully absorb the Kinetic Energy
Question is, when did they ever get the additional augmentations? Between Halo 4 and 5? After 5? Let's also not rule out any benefits he got from the Librarian in Halo 4.
what he got from the Librarian? "we don't talk about that" ~fn 343. I still resent the aimless, on the go narrative direction 343 has taken and is taking halo.
@@Dan_Therapist I think the gift the librarian gave to Master Chief are for 343 like a narrative resource so when they want master chief to have some special ability or want him to survive something they can use it as an excuse. So they will never completely reveal what tose gias do.
Probably some time in the ~25 years between when they first saw combat and the fall of reach. Also don’t discount the fact that slip space travel still takes months and Spartans heal rapidly
i would say between 4 and 5
Between 3 and 4
Nanomachines, son
I read shadows of reach, after chief got shot in the leg he literally punched a banshee out of the air. Total badass
I think the Librarian did more to John then just make him immune to the composer... She had the time and ability to advance John much further along then Dr. Halsey was able to...
He now has skintanium armor…
I'd be convinced that what ever the Librarian did to him, was to ensure a lethal vector that could compromise another flood outbreak.
Contain a flood outbreak?
Compromise I ment.
Worse now, The Endless
@@thevideolord The Endless are absolutely not worse than the flood.
@@thevideolord the flood continue to be the greatest threat to the halo universe ever a single flood outbreak on earth was all it took for half of Africa to be bombarded from orbit
Master Chief needed a testicle reduction because he couldn't fit into Mjolnir
OMG🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he has perhaps the biggest balls of any human in existence excluding the obvious chips, Johnson, val and a few more.
Well they were already doing fine tuning on Spartan IIs in 2552. Chief had to undergo a surgical upgrade to his neural lace in order to operate the smart AI system in the Mark V Mjolnir.
If this is true, Chief was using only 3% of his true power against Locke. That explains why he was moving slowly cause he was going easy on him.
@@revolverswitch haha
He didn't want to kill a fellow Spartan.
Completely agree. Especially given chiefs nature he isnt naturally inclined to kill another spartan.
@@HypnoticProphet1 His body language proves you right. Basically that whole fight Chief noticeably pulls his punches, and is constantly breaking off the attack to watch what Locke is doing, as if hoping Locke will stay down.
@@redrenegade7724 yeah he punched the ground and missed on purpose to show Locke how devastating it would be if he had tried to actually hit him.
I appreciate the use of Mass Effect 2’s Project Lazarus as a visual for some of the augmentations
In some ways, Commander Shepard post-Project Lazarus is the Mass Effect equivalent of a Spartan, especially the Soldier class and especially with all the additional armor upgrades and researchable bio-augmentations.
@@dianabarnett6886 I say he's a Spartan IV at best, but not quite the level of a Spartan II, would be dope to see him in a set of Gen II Mjolnir though.
@@thevideolord Agreed.
I mean he can survive getting crushed by a ship and other stuff. Definitely a mass effect Spartan
@@finger1651 Enhanced reflexes, strength, and speed. Reinforced bones and healing. Can fistfight and headbutt species way tougher and stronger than normal humans. Can fire weapons that would literally shatter the arms of the unaugmented. Oh yeah, I bet if you gave him/her a neural implant, Shepard could wear Mjolnir.
I’m curious if Johns leg was heavily injured and it healed in less than a day basically, is there still pieces of hardened molten titanium in his leg? As it healed over it maybe.
I don't think so. I remember reading somewhere that the combat suits not the armor, the suit under that is full of nano bots that supposed to take care of stuff like that.
you'd think with the cost of producing a spartan-II they'd mitigate the risk of death by furthering the research prior to applying it to humans that cost as much as a fucking starship but naaah, ONI's accountants must not have been happy with Halsey.
Also, i suppose with muscles as dense as those of spartans they're probably really hard to move and wouldn't if not for carbon-laced bones + the strength of those muscles themselves and other chemical reactions (hormones and such) within a S-II's body. Like pushing a car = lifting an arm kind of hard.
The density of that musculature is exactly what allows gives them their strength…
You make a good point. Could explain why Chief drowns in water. Swimmers have soft flexible muscle which gives them the strength and mobility to swim faster. Chief moves like a robot because he isn't as flexible.
The cost of the Spartan-II project really came from Project MJOLNIR. Each suit of armor was the price of a small starship. In comparison to the hardware, the human component of the Spartan-II program was relatively inexpensive.
The other thing to keep in mind is that ONI, and Halsey, believed the Spartan-II project to be basically a last ditch effort to stop the Insurrection from destroying Humanity. As such, the cost was not really a factor in considering if the project should have any delays. They could not delay. ONI wanted super soldiers ready as soon as possible, but at a certain point more money doesn't reduce the time that takes. Halsey picked augmentations based on, essentially, two criteria: first, will the side effects of the augmentation hinder the Spartan, and two, can this potentially deadly treatment not be used and still allow the Spartan to be as effective as he or she needs to be to get the job done, and not die anyways.
The technology of the time, and the state of the Insurrection, meant that these kids needed to be augmented when they needed to be augmented. And what they would be needed to do dictated how powerfully they needed to be augmented. After that, the rate of mortality was going to be whatever it would be, there was nothing more they could do that they hadn't already. And, Halsey cryo freezing the "failed" candidates was not just with the hope that they could be revived later, but that those Spartans that remained active would be able to buy Humanity the time for there to be a "later."
And then the Covenant arrived on Harvest, and the fate of Humanity shifted almost entirely away from the Insurrection.
An immense part of a Spartans strength comes from the armor itself. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still incredibly fast and strong out of armor, but the armor substantially multiplies strength. Also without all the augs of a spartan your body would simply crush itself trying to use Mjolnir
Think of it this a spartan in just base form is the hand , but with they're suits of armor they are the hand and the hammer .
I love the way halo 2 anniversary's graphics for cutscenes look more photo realistic then Halo Infinite, Makes you appreciate the remaster even more
Master Chef now with 10% more Wolverine.
I fell asleep during this video, not because it was boring, but because of this beautiful voice
So Spartan 2s from War Masters became Gods of War.
Now you make me think chief is conscious of medical staff’s scope to discern and treat illness, and him using the “classified” to protect himself from malpractice or actual obscuring something greater - even with great near mythological prowess, he knows his eventual fate.
Also- he probably knows the severity and limitation of his injury, and denied the diagnosis because he simply already knows. Why waste time dealing with those people when you know you are going to be okay. “Come back in 3 weeks for a checkup” - sorry can’t it’s classified 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now this is pretty amazingly done now it makes sense why infinite campaign at night ain't actually dark
I think it would make sense. Especially since the spartan 2’s are the best Spartans, why not give them the best of the best.
I’d like to think the Chiefs healing abilities are simply from the librarian, and that Halsey‘s experimental arguments are just that. Would be cool to see some expanded lore on how much better the Spartans could have been if they had perfected these augments, and maybe see them in future generations of Spartans.
Imagine creating an ultimate Spartan with these, taking spartan II, III Gamma company (for increased animalistic aggression) augments and the highly experimental stuff for IVs that were used to create that one that could fight normal Spartans 1:1 without mjolnir
Training and experience still matters. Almost no other Spartan has as much of either compared to anyone on Blue Team. Much less training or experience against other humans in hand to hand. Not to mention the bone grafts the II's have would make every punch devastating compared to the other Spartans that don't have the same level of augmentation. To put it simply. You want to fight an unarmored and unarmed Spartan II on an even playing field. You need another Spartan II.
So basically an astartes.
Really been enjoying your content. It's simply mind boggling how extensive the Halo lore is.
Well other spartans weren't raised as killing machines. I think the difference between spartan 2s and any other generation is skill.
Spartan III’s received better training than the Spartan II’s because Kurt wanted them to be better. With that being said, Spartan II’s have more experience (excluding Red Team).
@@rorschach1848 being trained by an experienced 2 would have been a huge bonus, probably helps that the surviving 2's have pretty much "adopted" the remaining 3's into their Spartan family and would be continuing to actively training them outside of missions
Skill and genetics and the fact the 2 augmentations made the 2s far stronger than 3s or 4s. So yeah there's more than one difference. Speed, reflex, strength, skill and now experience.
@@rorschach1848 Just cause Kurt says it's better doesn't mean it is. He also said the 3s were better yet kelly would have violated the 3s. Every other book about spartans leads to Spartan 2s being the best at everything and having it the worst. Besides 3s being canon fodder I would say that's pretty true. Even Buck believes Spartans like Jun aren't even in the same league as a spartan 2 which is true.
"You stopped fighting because your thigh was getting melted away by plasma? Sounds like a skill issue." 🤣 Master Chief is such casual badass some times.
That would be so cool to find out that Dr. Halsey, secretly gave John, and only John the extra augmentations. Plus, with whatever the librarian did him, he would be truly special
You have done the Halo fans such a great service with your channel. Thank you!
Why not suppress Myostatin and do A grahene or nano-tube lattice on their bones while removing the grafts?
A fair argument. However there are some limitations. The muscle enhancement Augmentation effectively increases density and strength through a similar mechanism to follistatin, so in that respect, the suppression of myostatin would have negligible effects on the Spartans already immense strength.
Graphene is immensely strong, but it's strength is measured based on a similar analogue. Thicker graphene effectively turns into Graphite. Graphite is brittle. Even if the graphene is deposited in perfectly ordered matrices, there would be no sheer strength or compressive strength the only useful property would be tensile strength (stretching), and there are precious few circumstances where bones are pulled into breaking. It's much more common for compressive and sheer forces to be what breaks bones, mainly because pulling forces would damage ligaments and connective tissues long before the bone themselves.
@@Installation00 you could have a layer system with the graphen since it's and atom layer thin I would coat the whole suit and maybe even try to chart joint movement and try to graph it to the muscle and tendons increasing the strength. Love the lore u cover brilliant as always,
If your on zeta halo anytime soon try and grapple and fusion coil mid jump from the top while it's standing up right most beautiful thin iv seen to date.
Master chief saying "it hurts" hurts me.
The guys missing a chunk of his quads, so think of it more like "I'm vaguely aware that it is uncomfortable but I'm able to run on it and kick Brutes in the face so hard my boot comes off"
i mean he's still the badass guy we all know and love but its a plasma bolt, we are still probably a couple millennia off from augmentations that can shrug off plasma
@@Installation00 This is accurate to the past situation
Ah Chief and his understatements. What a way of saying "I am in unbearable agony, and if I wasn't the galaxy's biggest badass, I'd be crying under this helmet"
It's about time you showed up. :P
For real though, I have been waiting for this video for a long time. And, it did not disappoint. When I had read that part in the book, I hadn't considered that the rapid healing might be a new augmentation. I had assumed it was from the first round of genetic therapies. So, great video! It's always nice to find new ways for the pieces to fit together.
So, what about the augmentation he received from the librarian?
I was thinking that when I clicked on this video. Chief's healing ability might have been empowered by whatever the Librarian did to him, which doesn't apply to the rest of his fellow surviving Spartan IIs or the IVs. However, Chief most certainly have given Halsey information about that event after the Halo 5 events. She could have looked into him and found something, then developed more augmentation based on Chief's biological enhancement and given that to Blue Team. Still, we don't know enough about everything Spartan so that's just speculations and what 00 said might not be 100% accurate because we only have tiny bit's of Chief's case to look into.
That being said, being able to fight after getting a huge chunk of flesh burned clean off while having molten metal dripping on the wound is just gnarly.
343 seems to have completely dropped the plot of whatever else the Librarian may have done to him besides the immunity to the Composer. She also seemed to imply things for Cortana that were obviously dropped from the plot as well.
I am getting tired of 343 killing major characters off screen between games. They did it with the Didact (he did survive Halo 4), and, light spoilers if you haven't watched any Infinite playthroughs......
Cortana and now apparently Atriox were both killed off before Infinite.
@@brentbartley6838 I don't mind spoilers, actually. In fact, the ending is one of the things I really didn't like about this game. They made Atriox in Halo Wars 2 just to have him going up against Cortana off-screen and we never get a chance to fight this dude. Seriously? He kicked both Red Team's and Chief's asses but we, as the Master Chief, don't get to have our revenge? COME ON 343! Why create 2 super dangerous antagonists and have them kill each other? Why can't we fight either of them? That's stupid as hell! Now I understand 343 needed to play safe after the shit show named Halo 5, but that's playing it TOO SAFE! I feel somewhat robbed when the game ended! They call Infinite Halo 3's spiritual reboot but we can't have Atriox die by our hands like Truth (sure, Arby sunk his sword into the old geezer but you get the point)? BRUH!
@@regularasiandude17 Legendary Ending Spoiler: Atriox isn't dead :v
And Didact is digitized in the Composer. So... uh, if a Bias construct wanted to, they could bring him back.
I was always under the impression that the augmentations that the Spartan 4s received were weaker than the S2s and the armor was what made up the difference.
Yeah, what they could do with their biology was somewhat limited by the fact that they are all already matured adults, so they made up the difference with more advanced armor and I think some mechanical augmentation.
spartan 3's probably received the post-augmentations of spartan 2's as well, regarding their safety.
ilsa zane probably received the full spartan 3, spartan 2 post-aug, gamma company, full spartan 4 augmentations and a few orion 1 crude augmentations for her bodily caabilities (and mental instability).
maybe spartan 4's received some of these spartan 3/ 2 post-aug enhancements in their "augmentation maintainance" too, while the augmentations stabalized.
Spartan IV's get most of their power from their armor. Yes, they have modifications, but not nearly as much as the IIs or III's.
@@jesusofbullets i think spartan 4's have all the augmentations, but they don't have the cat2 or cat3 genes for the most part and where augmented as adults, meaning the effects take far longer to manifest to the same degree and there has to be medical monitoring and augmentation tweaking for a long time before the augmentation stabilizes.
in halo infinite, 7 years have past since the first wave of s4 augmentations.
spartan 2 were trained for 8 and spartan 3 for 6 years.
i think there are a decent amount of s4's now that have reached spartan level training, conditioning and had enough time to grow into their augmentations.
Imagine entering gym on board infinity and seeing master chief without his suit without shirt training. Imagine seeing huge man filled with scars staring at you, paralyzing you with those big black eyes. Gives me chills
Better yet. He took all the weight plates while Spartan IVs in the room with him all would gathering around having bets with each other while Blue team watches in the background smirking. 😆 I can see this happening in R&R.
I'd expect chief to have his own special lift chamber because considering he can flip a damn tank I'm not sure you can fit enough plates of a barbell to actually phase him

What?
Okay posting this before I watch the full video, but shortly after the intro. I always just assumed that the surviving two's got additional augmentations to bring them in line with the four's augmentations that weren't able to do initially. Like the new augmented lung, heart and gi track transplants
It is entirely possible. At this point we can't say for sure. Though, the Spartan-IV augmentations, at least in part, require a certain degree of maintenance. Be that in the form of a strict diet, medication, or actual technical maintenance. By contrast, the Spartan-II's and the Spartan-III's (excluding Gamma company) do not need any of that. They likely need to eat more than a normal human, but they don't need to eat additional exotic (for a human diet) materials like the Spartan-IV's. This means that the II's and III's can effectively be in the field indefinitely, such as Spartan-II Grey Team, while the IV's either cannot, or operate at reducing efficiency the longer they are in the field. So, giving the II's and III's the IV's augments may not be a no-brainer sort of move.
Sweet! Keep up the good work Installation 00. The channel is brilliant for Halo fans. Looking forward to what's coming in the next few months.
Just seeing Mjolnir Mark IV compared to Chief's Gen III Mjolnir Mark VI against Atriox is a telling detail of Spartan improvements.
Pre-ordered my Halo Infinite copy yesterday and went on a small binge of Halo merch. Can't wait till tomorrow especially with the new Mighty Morphin comic coming out as well.
I'm 33, I was 13 when Halo ce came out. I'll take master chief vs anybody and Idgaf what anyone says
I like to think the Librarian gave Master Cheif his plot armor, ultimately making him immune everything in the long run. Even before that, he was still better than anyone else.
Don't forget the most powerfull augment. Plot Armor.
Here we go for another great video!
In the new lore Chief was able to life and squat a 100 ton/200,000 lb mountain of rock while injured from his leg and said he wasnt at his limit. Chief definitely has something unique and probably has something to do with the librarian.
When???
@@bradchampion687 In the book Halo: Shadows of Reach
This is more of derivative speculation in my opinion; remember all spartan generations have undergone extensive gene therapy as part of their augmentation profiles which could very well boost their natural regenerative capabilities. However that doesn't mean that augmentations can't be tweaked to enhance a spartans natural capabilities; it is a known fact that spartan 4 Hellcat Mjolnir operators have their augmentations altered to make synchronization with the armor easier.
I forgot how much I love to listen to you talk about Halo Lore.
Wish you had more content to devour lol
Playing heroic on infinite, and it's been quite entertaining. On boss fights it's clear that MC needs to get some banished shield technology because whatever they have is at least an order of magnitude better than what humanity's best is.
They need to reverse engineer more Forerunner tech into Chief's set of Gen II and potentially more augmentations as well. Could you imagine Chief with the Didact's force powers? (Though its clear that most of Infinite's story is undoing the mistakes of Halo 4 and 5 and giving a sort of fresh start to the series. It almost feels like all of the important beats from Combat evolved were hit in Infinite's story)
a plasma bolt from a Banshee i believe .. took a direct hit in the leg and my mans still kept going like a beast
Born too soon to be a genetically-modified, cybernetic-enhanced, super armor superman. Born just in time to have Installation00 tell me how cool it would/wouldn't be 😒🤣
(BGM: The All-American Rejects - Move Along)
"You may look like a hero. You may feel like a hero. You may be one Spartan. You may be many. You may have a new helmet, new armor, and new equipment. You may have your assault rifle, pistol, and grappling hook. But its not what you got, its what you do with it, that makes you...... a hero."
When you say this then yes I do believe 117 did get these upgrades for this upcoming battles. It makes sense that this did happen when he was in halo 3-4. He wasn’t the same even then. To say he went into battle as he did from halo 5 was definitely not correct with the Liberian geas upgrades. Just watching 117 react through these games are not the same. Subtle but noticeable. In this upcoming game we definitely see a major chance alone in master chief on how he is battling and acting. Never before have we the fans seen a master chief like this. I can’t wait to see and hear this game. For the banished I say this. I will take this ring back by any and all means with my marine brothers. Try and stop us all I dare you banished. For 343 I say this as a fan. Standing by 5-5. Thank you for your hard work and care of this game and lore.
Chief is better at fighting because cutscenes are finally starting to be more lore-friendly.
You keep saying he's so different we've never seen this yet you haven't given one example. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
By actions and movements one can tell in every halo game by this shows his very differences in how the problems are very subtle in its definition. The fact is master chief in this game clearly in tone and movement he’s different therein is then drastically changed by mood and function. If you need more just listen to this channel. Installation00 is very much the true lore master we the fans need and can truly respect. As to other lore content I can list it. If not as installation00 will surely can.
@@raymondhatton3224 I've been watching and reading halo lore forever and I've been subscribed to installation 00 since 20k subs. Anyways im not discrediting your claim but all the evidence you mention can be wrote off to purely gameplay entertainment or cinematic quality showing of said console engine at the time. Maybe his personality is a little different but when it comes to actual physical movement combat etc any one of those examples can easily be written off.
@@rushpatriot2866 you may have a point. Story wise it’s different through all of them. As for the game here it’s clearly something very different and the shear way master chief by default he is acting on different actions and mood. He has never been this or act like this by any means. Though I wonder as to what is going on story wise and game play. What will happen fight wise. We will see tomorrow.
Chief did get a neural lace upgrade before integrating with Cortana. Why not more?
This is why the Spartan 2’s are better than Spartan 4’s
Spartan 4s we’re never meant to be better than Spartan 2s or 3s. The best way to think of them is as a amped up Orion project

3. Spartan IV's(Gabriel Thorne)
4. Spartan I's(Avery Johnson)
Hey on foundation, right at the beginning of the data ghost children bit, as soon as you step off the elevator I'm certain I heard a child say Olly Olly oxen free, and it gave me chills!
What about Spartan 3s? They were almost superhuman as teenagers. I wonder what upgrades the survivors got.
That is classified
i feel like Halsey growing up was the exactly the kind of 3-4 YO you didn’t leave unsupervised for too long, lest she start committing surgery on her teddy bear or start experimenting in the kitchen
Master Chief has never been more awesome to play then in Halo infinite God damn his movement capabilities with that grappling hook is crazy lol wished the story matched how good that gameplay is is co tho I still think the game is great looks awesome on a series x 4k tv with HDR
There's so few Spartan IIs left, unlike IVs, they're each unique and a huge asset on their own. Makes sense they'd be perfected.
Spartan 2’s where referred to as gods of the battlefields by Spartan 4’s, which thought of themselves more like lesser Demi gods. All Spartan 2,3 and 4’s had augmented healing. I don’t think they had the risky upgrades mentioned but definitely upgraded where and when possible
Every lore video talking about Spartans augmentations always have the me2 opening
(clears throat) In the grim darkness of the far future......
ever slice some body part lengthwise and it heals in 72 hours> yup, never knew what the military shot me up.... nice to still be operational after 35 years.
Seems to me that it's more likely than not the 2s would receive the 4s arguments. They got new armor too right? We can also assume the continue training with new/refined tactics, weapons and equipment. It just makes sense that any remaining 2s would also get cutting edge everything, including augmentations.
Really diggin the intro nowadays. Keep up the good content.
It's certainly plausible and likely. I don't recall super healing being part of the original augmentations. And with the further advances in the 3's and 4's, I see no reason why they wouldn't apply the relevant ones to the surviving 2's.
I’d like to see someone do a animation build of what the injuries in lore would look like on the Spartans to see how it could actually affect them
This should have been in his insane feats of strength one you did.
Shoddy casts vido on stempacks from fallout show how crazy healing is
Can I just point out how MC flung all the debris out of his way, but moved the body of that marine with reverence. Nice subtle touch there by the game directors...
Don't worry. The God Emperor worked the kinks out eventually.
exactly what I was thinking, what did the Librarian enhance to John even to resistance to the Composer and the Didact?
Also, was there any life longevity given to "the Weapon (Cortana2)" with her foray into the Domain to subdue Cortana? (really Must give her a proper name,Cortana 2 doesnt cut it)
At 1:17 seconds in to this video, I got my second set of commercials
I think that Dr. Halsey might have gotten a lot help from the Librarian. If you remember she was in direct contact at one time with the construct the Librarian left behind. So no one knows exactly what new knowledge she obtained about modifying and augmentation. So with that said, Master Chief is also carrying the gia of a Forerunner imprinted on him. Who knows what abilities the Librarian has unlocked with the hidden gene song that is within him and other humans.
Like Dr. Halsey said, the librarian's gift and rank of status given to master chief makes him the Reclaimer. The forerunners gave promotions in their society via genetic mutations. This happened to chief and he is technically a forerunner. Status: Reclaimer.
I am surprised in halo oni didn't start to genetically enhance babies before they are born to create stronger soilders
1 min in, I'm already excited af
I love Halo, you make it even better
Yes I do. and with all the run ins with forerunner tech. I would be very surprused if they didnt atleast try and get more info from their data storage. Even now the forerunners are still more adv. then the humans. and if they could get tech to innnertwine with the spartans armor. congras boys you just leveled up yet again.
You should do a video about Future augmentations that could be done to spartans to further compete with The banished
I want to say that they had these augmentations all along. I support this hypothesis with these: Spartan 2s had been known for extremely fast reaction time especially under stress and having incredible feats of physical strength that would require massive amounts of adrenaline, so the adrenal glands would be altered. I also have noticed that the Spartans are known to be anti social, especially master chief, along with Spartan 2s having higher intelligence, thus alterations for mental capacity have been made. Even in gameplay we see that even without biofoam that the Spartans have massive amounts of health and can heal significantly faster. The fourth is the most interesting as it would be in there to accept augmentation for the polythread weave on the heart. Use these facts as you see.
"He continued to function and perform well with this injury"
Yeah right up until he kicked that busted leg into a door like an idiot
what footage was that near the end when those spartans drop podded in?
came here hoping to find an answer for that as well
This is a phenomenal vid
It's possible, Kurt gave some of the Spartan III's outlawed enhacment when they went in for their augmentation that resulted in them fighting long after they should have died.
Yeah the gammas. It wasn't made for survivability too much though more of "ill live long enough to get the job done" cause they were meant to be canon fodder trading humans for time was their purpose. Now they always gotta take the smoothers
I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE AUGMENTATIONS WERE DONE TO MASTER CHIEF AND HIS TEAM, EVEN THE FOUR THAT WERE DEEMED TOO RISKY, AS THEY WERE IMPROVED AND FELL INTO ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS. THAT'S WHY THE MASTER CHIEF AND HIS TEAM LIVED FOR SO LONG, AND THAT'S WHY HE AND HIS TEAM WERE REGARDED AS LEGENDS AND GODS.
i would say spartan 2 would get more augmentations one to keep these people alive as long as possible because of the moral boost just having one spartan 2 around and two to make them even more deadly.
What exactly did he recieve from the Librarian in Halo 4? So far it seems like just something that allows him to avoid being composed, but could he also have been augmented further? That always made me wonder
It would make sense that they would be "upgraded" just like any other military "equipment". I say it this way because this seems to be how ONI thinks of the Spartans
Doctor: you ran with molten metal burning your leg?
John: yeah but it was ouchie
Doctor: yeah we need to take care of that
John: *eye roll* urg whatever 🙄
I dunno what’s funnier, this conversation or Master Chief rolling his eyes
What were the gifts that the Librarian give masterchief in Halo 4?
I would think neural argumentation for ONI operator can be use as mobile organic data bank. Just drain some of the spinal fluid and add some more neural tissue to be use for data store , as well as housing for any dumb AI or maybe even for a Smart AI. For the Spartan-2,3,4 it too risky but a ONI operators it would work. ONI shown in the past the length the would go to insure victory, and if the ONI operator dies on the table it acceptable loss , but not for any Spartans.
Chief did have his neural interface upgraded for Cortana before the Fall of Reach.
I think it was one of the many gifts, that the, Librarian, has given Master Chief, Including the Augmentations.
no talk about the Spartans 3's from ghost of onyx and how they had some different augmentations then the Spartans 2's or 4's since they were setup to be kamikaze or as I like too think berserkers units
All I want to know is what are the endless and how can they be worse than the flood 😱
they are probably the precursors, the ones who seeded the galaxy with life, live forever and have control over time to a degree.
@@alex_HL hope so also hope we don't go down the whole time crap thing yeah I think the precusears created them to take the mantel so the rest of them couldn't and the fourrunners wanted all the power for themselves so locked them up since they couldn't be killed by the halo rings but they don't sound like they mean the galaxy harm
@@michealmurphy8985 yeah the forerunners fear most not being the ones in control of everything so they did that
Not to mention that the spartan II's were already the peak of human genetics way before they ever got their augmentations.
sounds like astartes implants
Imagine using an orphanage to mass produce new spartan II's
Spartans are meant to be more than just super soldiers. They're humanity's next step.
Imagine if a baby born between two Spartans naturally had all of these enhancements.
It would have to be a test-tube baby if between Spartan-2s but 3&4 have a chance.
Also while only just past the 'first level' or tutorial section of Halo Infinite, I for one am enjoying the story thus far.
