Basically, in order to keep UNSC morale up, if a Spartan is killed, they're always listed as "missing" rather than killed. It's just a propaganda trick to stop UNSC morale from collapsing, as there best soldiers are being slaughter. |

I suppose you would want to hear the reason from the person who kept saying the quote so... Here I am.
"Basically, in order to keep UNSC morale up, if a Spartan is killed, they're always listed as "missing" rather than killed. It's just a propaganda trick to stop UNSC morale from collapsing, as there best soldiers are being slaughter." Sums it up.
They did this with the Spartan II's (Master Chief and others on Reach). Before Reach, Spartan II's didn't die often, but when they did it would have been devastating to the moral of everyone else in the UNSC. During the Invasion of Reach, most of the Spartan II's died. Afterwards, a secret project created the crappy Spartan III's.

@Invis Doose spelling mistakes I made writing that. But yeah. It was a propganda thing, rather than the fact none of the died. I mean, most of NOBLE, who are SIIIs, not SIIs, died during the fall of Reach.
SIIIs were being made before Reach. They were basically made to trade lives for time.
I think you meant the SIV program, right? As that's post-war. |

Yeah, you're right. I think it would be cool if they made games based off of more of the books, like the one about Harvest and (I think it was Fall of Reach) where Master Chief, Fred?, and Linda? boarded a Covenant cruiser and got past the shields while the cruiser was firing its cannons.

I think you mean Contact Harvest :P Through, I haven't read any of the books, so I might be wrong.
I'd love a game entirely from the Covenant side, and not just against heretics/flood.

Yeah, Contact Harvest, haven't read it in forever. Harvest was when they first met the Brutes and the Engineers. It was also the place where the first Chopper was created by an engineer. Though, in Contact Harvest, the main character is Sergeant Johnson so... in the game you would be a bad ass, but without shields. That would ultimately make a harder, more fun game.
Also, that idea of playing as Covenant would be cool. They just got to deviate from what people like, take the challenge, and make a new NEW Halo game.

Nonno. We ARE saying that they DO die. What we're also saying is the line "Spartans never die. They're just MIA" is just propaganda. It's a lie, to make it seem AS IF they never die. Spartans die in a lot of the books. They also die throughout Halo Reach. Heck, Lone Wolf is filled with dead Spartan's corpses. |

I never disagreed with you... I was just keeping with the lore. Besides, Master Chief would still beat Shepard.

TBF. They'd probably both wound each other so much, whichever one killed the other one, would promptly die of blood loss. |

well i do recall you said this "what about the spartans that died on noble team"
They didn't die, they are MIA. when you see spartans die they aren't mia they're dead |

Are you trying to lower the moral in the entire UNSC? Do you want the Covenant to win?

Hush child, you're confusing my words. I said I was keeping with the lore of Halo, that's why I kept saying that. It's obvious that they die, but they put the death in as a MIA report to keep the moral up.
