It's so depressing thinking about the amount of Spartan IIs killed. I don't understand why 343 killed off black team as well, why not a spartan 4 or 3 team?!
+Halo Canon Black Team: Margaret 053. Roma 143. Otto 031. And Victor 101. Great vid Canon! i think this will be Great for those Who havnt had the opertunity to read the lore yet but want to Keep up with halo 5.
+Halo Canon how come alot of people say that halo wars 2 is still going to be on the early covernant war but in escalation some cryo pods are open if im right then the spirit of fire might of detect unknown life forms or an emergency and checking the halo wars 2 website it said large scale battles so we might be seeing much bigger battles
+Trillificent Trillogy with the teaser of them saying that neither are the antagonist master chief and Locke will meet and fight then chief will explain himself I bet that's what happens the Locke and his team will work together with blue team and the arbiter
@Kyle Caelian: The events in Halo Legends are canon, though a lot of artistic liberties were taken. Regarding "The Package", only Arthur-079 and Solomon-069 were killed Fred, Kelly, and John made it out in one piece.
dude nice vid! i've been a huge halo fan since 2001 so stumbling upon this page was great! i don't normally have the time to read the novels & comics so these videos help :3 keep up the great work!
It’s almost as if Spartan-IVs in the V2 armor are meant to be just as good as Spartan II, therefore they have a decent chance of being able to take them down
@@SigmaGaming123 Spartan IV's are just marines in spartan armor. Spartan II's have been selected for strength, Intelligence, Athletics, etc. And they were put into intense training since they were 5. Not to mention the augmentations.
Pretty fun. I knew all of this already but I haven't read maby of the books with Blue Team in quite some time, so a little refresher was very welcomed. Keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to your next entry in this series.
This is a VERY good video, and very timely. I'll be showing this to my friends, who are very interested in Blue Team, but haven't touched much of the franchise outside of the games.
+Halo Canon What a bout red team maybe ]... I mean we saw halo wars 2 they could still be active...given that halo wars 2 takes place around halo 4 ish
That was a really good watch. I'm still in the middle of Ghost of Onyx so a few spoilers but it's k cause you didn't stay on it for long. That anwsered a lot of questions I had. great video.
@mitsos ziogas: I say known, referring to as known by the UNSC. Red Team very well may be out there, but the UNSC is unaware that. Plus, we don't know when Halo Wars 2 takes place, which means that Red Team could be dead by 2558.
+Halo Canon since we know the flood is on the UNSC spirit of Fire, then that means they all either abandoned ship, or were all infected. brute aggressors and all. Is it wrong for me to hope that second one is also true?
Halo Canon flood spartans, plus hordes of infected marines AND brutes. if the flood have to come back in any way shape or form you couldn't ASK for a better set-up.
As a long time Playstation fan(violent hatred and death threats expected!XD) I am really late to the party of Halo. Since getting the MCC and getting totally hooked on Halo I am only just discovering the enormous body of lore spawned from the groundbreaking Combat Evolved game I only ever got to play like half an hour of back in 2001. So obsessively played through 1-4, then got to 5 and was a little swamped by stuff I didn't get. But started checking out the audiobooks, watching the animes and now found your RUclips primer. First, OMG you deliver such a huge amount of info so concisely and comprehensively. I'm well impressed by your vids and very grateful that I can enjoy 5 with new understanding. Qhen I'm not totally broke I'm definitely donating. Yiu are a lifesaver. Thanks again from the uk
let us pray Red team makes it to UNSC controlled space! would be cool if blue team find them first and red ream joins them in whatever there doing, would like to see those Spartan iv try to take on 7 Spartan II lol
+scs1156320 actually if you look up a reliable source on the power of a SMAC, they can one shot any covenant ship from 12000 km away. it's bullshit. the Cairo watched as a massive CAS class carrier slipped through, not only that but she was constantly firing at space, apparently hitting nothing.
It makes you think that if Linda (technically) died and was resurrected, as badass as she is, I’m sure any of the other Spartans that died would be just as badass in they’re own way if they had made it as long as she has :(
if I liked this video ? halo canon I don't like any of your vids I love them I can tell you are a true lore fan of halo . like me you sink your teeth into any new lore or info on the halo universe
+Alanthier Seorn Well, this is the history of Blue Team. The Chief's video covers it, to a degree. At the time of Halo 4, the Chief was considered MIA, thus not part of Blue Team.
Loved the video! Great job, it was very accurate. Could you do a video on some of the other infamous Spartan-II teams like Black and Gray. Also, the largely unknown Green team.
Yes and no. Some Spartan-IIIs worked with Blue Team for a short period of time, though I don't think they were officially considered members. I could be wrong, though.
on the battle of onyx cover that spartan you keep zooming in on isn't Kurt, Kurt is the one pointing, that oval helmet spartan is the female 3rd gen spartan who cant talk i forgot her name, but in the book she chooses that helmet and camo, she is the only gen 3 survivor along with the spartan who he stands on top
Thrash is right. When gearing up at Camp Currahee on Onyx before leaving the camp for the last time Kurt almost puts on his MJOLNIR Mk.V but looks at Tom and Lucy ( the Spartan-III survivors of operation: TORPEDO) and decides that it is more important to preserve the morale of his forces by putting on the SPI armor, showing Tom and Lucy that their commanding officer identifies with the men and women he helped to train.
The Halo series should've been about the nearly 30 years of Blue Team lore we don't get to see between 2525 and 2552. What were they up to in the year 2537? What about 2540? The Human-Covenant War was raging during this time. Instead we got a soulless non-canon corporate money grab so we may never know
question.. how was the didactic composed? when it was made very clear in the halo 4 terminal logs that he was immune to the composer just like john 117 is....
+178thbattlegroup Best guess? Multiple composers. The Didact said that the Composer "wouldn't work on [his] new form". We've assumed that meant immunity, but perhaps resistance or something else is more accurate.
Blue team for life. So umm... There was a leak with the campaign level "Blue Team" I have the link, but beware, spoilers. download1120.mediafire.com/n6uzfbpndmcg/4jkbni5tvq3k68p/헤일로5+가디언즈.mp4
Ah so it's the gameplay segment that Greenskull described. Very cool and thanks for the link. :) Also did you hear the music? I heard both the opening themes for Halo 2's first level AND CE's first level (names escape me atm, but they're recognizable)! :D
Deadly Didgeridoo being blue team the "best" to be honest with them they are but it's said there was a another team of Spartans wolf pack primarily colors gray and blue green black and yellow green being commander huntr from lore
Thanks man this helped a lot make much more sense of how we got from halo 2,3,4,reach,odst,&5 and even the books and movies too I watched the hole series but I'm noticing some other missing members of both err team Osiris and I think we got blue covered let's see we did Fred, kelly, Linda, & chief so yeah then Osiris I think I'm missing 1 member don't know the name but I just saw Locke,tanaka,&buck and cannot remember who's the last member sometimes I thought it was Palmer but nope and others I thought it's gotta be Maria but what's her last name she's only mentioned by Maria and is wearing the halo2 117 mjlnor Spartan armor. The halo universe is so much more fascinating than the shitty stories were told in the games that really need some work! Cuz if one just played the original versions of halo1,2,3&4 then 5 didn't read the lore didn't do any terminals besides in 4 as they weren't available until the AEs of the games which I guess does fill in some gaps but idk since I've yet to actually see them all and may just break down & watch them on halo ch. not sure if it only displays what's been found. But so many loose ends! The didact and who was that!? He's not gone for good still right? Can't remember. Shit even back in halo3 the story made no sense it was like ghost of onyx meets the chief but he was on onyx wasn't he? Or am I confusing him with Fred & Kirk? Ugh it's so all over the place but I had a point in all this.....
Bungie held out on story sooo damn hard on us cuz they started going into reach but not the fall of reach which woulda been awesome training could have been us as kids so we're more attached and instead of unknown Spartans I expected to meet what I'd read in the books or play as chief or at least meet him on reach & or the team red or blue or both briefly which would have made for such a better story than what we got was bs! The entire 1st half of 1/3rd of the game irrelevant to the rest of the halo story that should have been a book and the book fall of reach should have been the story and keep the ending the same and keep the Halsey mission in there. Also halo3odst made no sense either cuz instead of explaining that when the covey ship jumped that it destroyed new Mombasa with it which didn't make sense was it cuz they did so inside atmosphere? I mean thinking about it now and knowing the power of a sonic boom just amplified by 1,000x's or more then yeah it would cause damage but idk if a nuclear event is the end result also whenever they did this in space nothing was taken with it or destroyed. Anyway just odd thought odst would have explained more and started or flashbacks at least to before that jump and the city made no sense the bad layout map design etc the worst halo game next to reach its in the top3 worst halos being odst,reach,&halo5 for various reasons an example is not only story telling but the moving in time and the weapons get weaker!? Wtf!? The beam rifle in halo5 is just as bad as it was in reach oh and having the BR come out standard after the DMR (Bungie lied! "The DMR is a death star in your hands it's a 1 shot kill to the head" negating to mention it's a 5shot weapon now! Which ok I guess cuz it's before they made the BR but ffs that + sprint made the halo balance and flow be thrown way off and was only recently fixed in halo4&5 and extremely difficult to get 4shot perfect kills now that both are in game they need make the DMR weaker in close quarters and stronger at distances so 5shots close the BR 4shot close, the DMR 4shot far & the BR 5shot far essentially opposite each other but still have a purpose and balancing both perfectly. The answer is always so simple devs just make it hard. Ugh but I digress didn't mean to go there but it's a valid point! Makes no sense lore wise and makes me care less than I would about the lore. So with the lore what pisses me off so damn bad is that Bungie was sitting on all this amazing material as revealed in ghost of onyx I'd rather have had a side story being that game (as I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted answers after finishing the book & had such a hard time trying to imagine the stuff we'd never seen in game before) example in was it first strike? Or no the flood chiefs shields get a repair job (maybe spoiler alert for the book!) but by an engineer which never happens in the game still even and were introduced to us in game first time in odst I can't remember if they're added now to the game in the AE or TMCC versions. But the fact that we never heard of them until after halo3! Cmon the same with didact and all the for runners stuff sentinels and guardians we had to imagine it all instead it should have been in game! And not halo wars which kinda sorta gives some idea and an Easter egg knod towards the "shield world" which I guess was where we played halo4? Idk or another one or was that U.S. Finding onyx? Idk Bungie refused to tell the most interesting stories for mediocre uninspired with what all they had available to tell and it took 343 to finally tell us this story but by then it's like too lil too late and at the same time too much hence all these plot holes that requires so many hours of research and reading books comics etc everything except playing the games and most sad is when reading the first 7 books the entire time I'm thinking damn I wished I could play this! And only halo2 was out back then! So this says a lot. Why did Bungie with hold so much!? And only focus on 117 & a few halos instead of the rest cuz there doesn't need to be a ring to make a halo game as part4&5 odst & reach taught us! That's my long winded gripes
According to the Universe entry for the Didact, he wasn't Composed but reduced to a "digital essence." I don't think that's the same thing as being Composed/being turned into a Promethean. Now I'm imagining that the Didact will pull a Dio and reveal that he's the real mastermind, releasing a new threat to humanity/the Galaxy, leading into Halo 6.
The Accursed Hunter01 The Composer doesn't turn beings into Prometheans. It turns them into digital essences The essences are then placed in a Promethean chassis, which is manufactured separately. When Chakas, an ancient Human, was composed, his digital essence was placed into a Monitor body.
Heh. It really does look like two squids kissing. Also, Blue Team assumed to be on Biko? Unlikely. I'm pretty sure Giraud mentioned that the Chief pulled that off singlehandedly and none of the video clips he got showed other Spartans.
Great work halo canon! im super excited for halo 5!! but i do have a question, was blue team (Fred, Linda, will) out fitted with mark 6 before the weeks of battling covies on earth after john left??
+thatguy9211 Before. Like John, they received upgrade when they returned to Earth. John got base-line Mk. VI while Blue Team started testing some prototype upgrades that would eventually be part of the [GEN2] project.
I am still feeling a little uneasy about how they are painting the Chief in these trailers. I mean I read the books played the games and watched the movies. Through these we have practically lived with John over the years. I wonder how the will try to justify Locke attempting to kill the Chief or visa versa depending on the trailer, or how they will justify calling John a traitor. I'm making my way through the Hunt for the Truth but I remain skeptical. What do you do you guys think?
+AKlover The comic shows her getting stabbed, but the book (which has more canon weight) tells that she was blasted by plasma bolts (including one to the back of the head).
I've been waiting for the past 15 years to hear John-117 say "This is Blue One, move out Blue Team". But I'm wondering. Isn't Fred still the new leader of Blue Team as Kurt promoted him at the end of the Onix book? Or John still outranks him?
I'm not too familiar with military ranks, but doesn't a Master Chief Petty Officer outrank a Liutenant, does it? That was the main reason John was made a Petty Officer in the first place 25 years before, to outrank and lead all Spartans, regardless of their specific ranks. Anyway it was just a curiosity. Fred has always been his unofficial 2nd in command and was made an LT by Kurt because he refused to follow an order but still had to lead the Onix survivors.
ChaosZero ノブ A Master Chief is an NCO, so any Master Chief would be outranked by an officer, even a lowly Ensign. That said, an MCPO commands a lot of respect since reaching such a rank requires a lot of time and dedication to the Navy.
Im curious is blue team the best of the best? Ik they have master-chief but is there anything special about the other guys like does one of them have the best aim or something

+Dirty Rascal I can't wait to hear her funny lines in Halo 5
Lol the covenant got rekt in that battle XD
How do you guys feel today?; LMAO
It's so depressing thinking about the amount of Spartan IIs killed. I don't understand why 343 killed off black team as well, why not a spartan 4 or 3 team?!
+scs1156320 Naomi was a separate Spartan. I theorized a while back that Naomi was part of Black team, but that turned out to be wrong.
If there were 75 Spartan 2s then how is John 117?
It makes no sense
Equipmxnt 115 There were originally going to be 150 Spartans, but the budget got cut, and Halsey had to narrow her candidate pool to 75.
+Halo Canon Black Team: Margaret 053. Roma 143. Otto 031. And Victor 101. Great vid Canon! i think this will be Great for those Who havnt had the opertunity to read the lore yet but want to Keep up with halo 5.
+Halo Canon how come alot of people say that halo wars 2 is still going to be on the early covernant war but in escalation some cryo pods are open if im right then the spirit of fire might of detect unknown life forms or an emergency and checking the halo wars 2 website it said large scale battles so we might be seeing much bigger battles
"I have a feeling were just getting started."
Legendary words that have paved the way for almost 20 years now
I really hope none of blue team dies they lived so long in the halo universe seeing hell it self and coming right out of it alive.
that's how you know they're gonna die....
+minnitureM if they do die the human race is doomed
+Trillificent Trillogy with the teaser of them saying that neither are the antagonist master chief and Locke will meet and fight then chief will explain himself I bet that's what happens the Locke and his team will work together with blue team and the arbiter
So this is all super interesting and I had no idea halo had such an in depth lore but I have no idea where to start with it. Suggestions?
@Kyle Caelian: The events in Halo Legends are canon, though a lot of artistic liberties were taken. Regarding "The Package", only Arthur-079 and Solomon-069 were killed Fred, Kelly, and John made it out in one piece.
I got they died in the book?
+Kyle Beers (Rabidcaboose) *thought
I hate how most people forgot about the Samuel-034 the original member that sacrificed him self. He was one of my favorite all time Spartans
It impacted John so much his number and name and the mission he died in, was His password for something in infinite
Do you think 343 Studios chose their name because like Guilty Spark they'd end up fucking over the Chief?
Underrated comment
I needed this info. I was confused on some stuff
brian reeds incredible writing
im so glad they are bringing in the books cannon to the game. fall of reach was fucking epic, really good book
how nice, the didact is composed on my bday
honestly who would've enjoyed a game following the timeline showed to us in 3:40 - 4:30
Damn :) who can't wait for the next season of the sprint?
I love the use of the Halo 3 OST-- Three Gates!! One of my favorite halo songs behind One Final Effort!
+Rainbowhotpocket Actually, it's the Halo Legends rendition, but they are incredibly close.

I enjoyed these history vids, nicely done!
Can't wait til you do a video about Black Team. I want to see how angry you get when you have to tell us their untimely demise.

Thanks man this helped a lot make much more sense of how we got from halo 2,3,4,reach,odst,&5 and even the books and movies too I watched the hole series but I'm noticing some other missing members of both err team Osiris and I think we got blue covered let's see we did Fred, kelly, Linda, & chief so yeah then Osiris I think I'm missing 1 member don't know the name but I just saw Locke,tanaka,&buck and cannot remember who's the last member sometimes I thought it was Palmer but nope and others I thought it's gotta be Maria but what's her last name she's only mentioned by Maria and is wearing the halo2 117 mjlnor Spartan armor. The halo universe is so much more fascinating than the shitty stories were told in the games that really need some work! Cuz if one just played the original versions of halo1,2,3&4 then 5 didn't read the lore didn't do any terminals besides in 4 as they weren't available until the AEs of the games which I guess does fill in some gaps but idk since I've yet to actually see them all and may just break down & watch them on halo ch. not sure if it only displays what's been found. But so many loose ends! The didact and who was that!? He's not gone for good still right? Can't remember. Shit even back in halo3 the story made no sense it was like ghost of onyx meets the chief but he was on onyx wasn't he? Or am I confusing him with Fred & Kirk? Ugh it's so all over the place but I had a point in all this.....
Bungie held out on story sooo damn hard on us cuz they started going into reach but not the fall of reach which woulda been awesome training could have been us as kids so we're more attached and instead of unknown Spartans I expected to meet what I'd read in the books or play as chief or at least meet him on reach & or the team red or blue or both briefly which would have made for such a better story than what we got was bs! The entire 1st half of 1/3rd of the game irrelevant to the rest of the halo story that should have been a book and the book fall of reach should have been the story and keep the ending the same and keep the Halsey mission in there. Also halo3odst made no sense either cuz instead of explaining that when the covey ship jumped that it destroyed new Mombasa with it which didn't make sense was it cuz they did so inside atmosphere? I mean thinking about it now and knowing the power of a sonic boom just amplified by 1,000x's or more then yeah it would cause damage but idk if a nuclear event is the end result also whenever they did this in space nothing was taken with it or destroyed. Anyway just odd thought odst would have explained more and started or flashbacks at least to before that jump and the city made no sense the bad layout map design etc the worst halo game next to reach its in the top3 worst halos being odst,reach,&halo5 for various reasons an example is not only story telling but the moving in time and the weapons get weaker!? Wtf!? The beam rifle in halo5 is just as bad as it was in reach oh and having the BR come out standard after the DMR (Bungie lied! "The DMR is a death star in your hands it's a 1 shot kill to the head" negating to mention it's a 5shot weapon now! Which ok I guess cuz it's before they made the BR but ffs that + sprint made the halo balance and flow be thrown way off and was only recently fixed in halo4&5 and extremely difficult to get 4shot perfect kills now that both are in game they need make the DMR weaker in close quarters and stronger at distances so 5shots close the BR 4shot close, the DMR 4shot far & the BR 5shot far essentially opposite each other but still have a purpose and balancing both perfectly. The answer is always so simple devs just make it hard. Ugh but I digress didn't mean to go there but it's a valid point! Makes no sense lore wise and makes me care less than I would about the lore.
So with the lore what pisses me off so damn bad is that Bungie was sitting on all this amazing material as revealed in ghost of onyx I'd rather have had a side story being that game (as I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted answers after finishing the book & had such a hard time trying to imagine the stuff we'd never seen in game before) example in was it first strike? Or no the flood chiefs shields get a repair job (maybe spoiler alert for the book!) but by an engineer which never happens in the game still even and were introduced to us in game first time in odst I can't remember if they're added now to the game in the AE or TMCC versions. But the fact that we never heard of them until after halo3! Cmon the same with didact and all the for runners stuff sentinels and guardians we had to imagine it all instead it should have been in game! And not halo wars which kinda sorta gives some idea and an Easter egg knod towards the "shield world" which I guess was where we played halo4? Idk or another one or was that U.S. Finding onyx? Idk Bungie refused to tell the most interesting stories for mediocre uninspired with what all they had available to tell and it took 343 to finally tell us this story but by then it's like too lil too late and at the same time too much hence all these plot holes that requires so many hours of research and reading books comics etc everything except playing the games and most sad is when reading the first 7 books the entire time I'm thinking damn I wished I could play this! And only halo2 was out back then! So this says a lot. Why did Bungie with hold so much!? And only focus on 117 & a few halos instead of the rest cuz there doesn't need to be a ring to make a halo game as part4&5 odst & reach taught us! That's my long winded gripes
What am I missing? How does it go from blue team doing their job to going A-wall?
Wait, so the surviving red team is team noble
thank you for spoiling about FOUR FUCKING BOOKS !!!!!!
According to the Universe entry for the Didact, he wasn't Composed but reduced to a "digital essence." I don't think that's the same thing as being Composed/being turned into a Promethean. Now I'm imagining that the Didact will pull a Dio and reveal that he's the real mastermind, releasing a new threat to humanity/the Galaxy, leading into Halo 6.
The Accursed Hunter01 Same thing.
+The Accursed Hunter01 The Composer turns a being into a digital essence, so yeah, same thing.
Halo Canon Okay, so it's just the humans that got turned into Prometheans while the Didact was... left alone? Maybe we'll find that out in Halo 5.
The Accursed Hunter01 The Composer doesn't turn beings into Prometheans. It turns them into digital essences The essences are then placed in a Promethean chassis, which is manufactured separately.
When Chakas, an ancient Human, was composed, his digital essence was placed into a Monitor body.
Halo Canon Okay, thank you for clearing that up.
Heh. It really does look like two squids kissing. Also, Blue Team assumed to be on Biko? Unlikely. I'm pretty sure Giraud mentioned that the Chief pulled that off singlehandedly and none of the video clips he got showed other Spartans.
Did we ever find out what happened to red team from Halo wars? I think there still in cryo sleep.
+Douglas Mitchell We will next year :)
RIP Sam.
Doctor Halsey survived but what happened to Jun (I think Jun is noble 2) I can't remember
Great work halo canon! im super excited for halo 5!! but i do have a question, was blue team (Fred, Linda, will) out fitted with mark 6 before the weeks of battling covies on earth after john left??
+thatguy9211 Before. Like John, they received upgrade when they returned to Earth. John got base-line Mk. VI while Blue Team started testing some prototype upgrades that would eventually be part of the [GEN2] project.
I wonder where Grey Team is hiding?
I am still feeling a little uneasy about how they are painting the Chief in these trailers. I mean I read the books played the games and watched the movies. Through these we have practically lived with John over the years. I wonder how the will try to justify Locke attempting to kill the Chief or visa versa depending on the trailer, or how they will justify calling John a traitor. I'm making my way through the Hunt for the Truth but I remain skeptical. What do you do you guys think?
I thought Linda got a sword in the back? Obviously she lived I know that.
+AKlover The comic shows her getting stabbed, but the book (which has more canon weight) tells that she was blasted by plasma bolts (including one to the back of the head).
awesome
I've been waiting for the past 15 years to hear John-117 say "This is Blue One, move out Blue Team". But I'm wondering. Isn't Fred still the new leader of Blue Team as Kurt promoted him at the end of the Onix book? Or John still outranks him?
+ChaosZero ノブ While Fred does outrank John, he defers leadership to John because, well, John has always been the leader of the Spartans.
I'm not too familiar with military ranks, but doesn't a Master Chief Petty Officer outrank a Liutenant, does it? That was the main reason John was made a Petty Officer in the first place 25 years before, to outrank and lead all Spartans, regardless of their specific ranks. Anyway it was just a curiosity. Fred has always been his unofficial 2nd in command and was made an LT by Kurt because he refused to follow an order but still had to lead the Onix survivors.
ChaosZero ノブ A Master Chief is an NCO, so any Master Chief would be outranked by an officer, even a lowly Ensign. That said, an MCPO commands a lot of respect since reaching such a rank requires a lot of time and dedication to the Navy.
Understood, thank you!
I want to know how chiefs teammates survived
It would be cool if you stated what books these sorts of videos will contain spoilers for.
+Koala Kev I give the source for everything in the video, but given the subject, it's going to contain a lot of spoilers from all over.
Im curious is blue team the best of the best? Ik they have master-chief but is there anything special about the other guys like does one of them have the best aim or something
