Halo - Spartan Capabilities - Lore and Theory

Lore and Theory is a video series were I explore ideas, Lore and Theories within the Halo Universe that pop into my mind at any given time, or that are popular among the community.

In this episode: We explore the true capabilities of all currently known Spartan Classes, and which one is the best?

Yo Spartan-IIs are scary my guy. 7 feet tall and can run over 30mph on average? Like that's just quittin time man. If I was an insurrectionist and I was that running towards me I'm quittin.

Those stats for the avg Spartan II motivates me to get stronger.

09:10 That explains why the Master Chief had a bit of trouble against Locke in Halo 5, the Suit basically restricted his speed and strength to the same as Locke.

I'm 5'10 and 220
I looked at those stats with concern

[omarcj]

I find both funny and ironic that the Spartans in their suits are on almost even levels against comic book super soldiers in dc and marvel mainly deathstroke and captain america

[spooniestcomb]

just found this video and loved it. Keep up the good work.
fun fact: Did you know that out of the Spartan II's Kelly was faster than her fellow Spartans clocking in at around 62 KPH and quicker reaction time than the other Spartan II's, requiring her to slow down when they are sparring so they could keep up with her.

[WolfeSaber]

This just makes anyone wonder about the possibles of a Spartan 5 and later on.

[netferno]

Holy crap ! Dude I hope Spielberg uses you as a consultant in his upcoming Halo series. SIIs are absolute beasts!!

A bit off, way off. I have spent a great deal of time looking over Spartan II's in particular. Mainly from the Fall of Reach as Spartan abilities jump alot in future lore.

Breaking down and estimating how strong they were from the start puts them leagues above what is put in the video. At the age of 14 John and fellow Spartan II's were showing feats of strength some 40 times that the human norm. Your weights are also off. At post augmnetation Spartans were already hitting 225 pounds and this would only double with age, strength as well.

That three times their own body weight quote is vague in most video descriptions and fits best as an arm curl for a Spartan II.

These types of estimates are made from older more consistent lore though, so this would seem strange when compared to the 343 eraed mess.

It was interesting in ghost of onyx how they talk about the spartan 3s being so small compared to the spartan 2s and the fact they can react semi quick(like holly counter locking kelly) is shocking. Especially after seeing how quick mojnier makes the spartan 2.

[dalton]

When you realize MasterChef could have easily just run people over by sprinting at them.

[spcepigz]

I want to thank you for the inclusion of the imperial system

[bobbyflynn]

So spartans flipping vehicles... That's not just part of the game, they could actually do that. Lol.

[nestorgamer]

Man I like the ending so much, it never gets old

[definitelynotaweeb]

The stats for Spartan 4s just seem wrong, namely that those stats are definitely achievable without augmentations, while 375 lbs certainly isn't easy to lift it's not impossible for most normal people to get that strong with proper training and diet.

[ryanbrown]

IDK man the height and weight stats seem off. 6'8" at 190 pounds the Spartans would be mega scrawny. Normal humans too. 5'10" and 137? I'd think it'd be closer to 250 (or even 300 considering the amount of muscle mass they have) for Spartans and 170-180 for normal people.

[dougsmith]

Forget the average human, you could compare them to world class runners and bodybuilders and they'd still blow them away in regards to speed and strength.

[jerans]

190 lbs is super skinny for a 6’8” person. Not to mention a person with denser muscles and a metal skeleton. I know those are the figures halo gives for Spartan 2’s, but a 6’0” NFL cornerback or wide receiver often weigh 200 lbs, and plenty of linebackers or running backs at that height weigh 220 lbs.

I know there are NBA athletes who are 7’0” and weigh only 200 lbs or so, but those guys aren’t playing a contact sport, and they aren’t the majority, most players in the NBA weigh well over 230 pounds because they put on a lot of muscle.

Bungie overlooked a lot of figures when they put the lore together and this right here is a good example

[rajendrashetti]

You should do a capability thread on the Nanosuit 2.0 from the Crysis series.

Spartan 2 are biologically superior and stronger then most GEN and is successfully
