I’m remembering basically what Shu Sam Chen said about the differences between the Spartan-II’s and III’s. The reason the III’s underwent less modifications were due to a quicker selection period limiting the time to search for the genetic markers they orginally looked for in the spartan-II’s. Due to the genetic variance the probability of the spartan-III’s surviving the same or similar procedures to the Spartan-II’s was very low.

re: Nathan – He is highly resilient. :)

re: JimboMonkey1234 – It’s a world of strangeness, no doubt. :)

re: Shu Sam Chen (HSAR) – I’m gonna have to go back and re-read now, but I was fairly certain that the Spartan-IIIs had undergone at least some physical modifications because I seem to recall that they had perfected the process so that the resultant death rate wasn’t so prodigious. Could be I just read it wrong, though.

@Jim: The Spartan-IIs underwent more physical changes, such as ceramic plating on bones, synthetic muscle implants, and some chemical and hormonal changes.

THe Spartan-IIIs had virtually no physical changes whatsoever, and instead were augmented with an array of biochemicals to alter their physiology and mental state.

The fact that he came back to life…creepy. I didn’t notice this at first, but his feet are right there. Maybe this is the world of Matchmaking?

The Master Chief reminds me of Chuck Norris. If he could survive the events of the three halo games, then I think he could escape an explosion.

re: Taterific – Actually, I’m not entirely sure that’s true. The Spartan-IIIs underwent most of the same body modifications, and they were subjected to other mind-altering treatments to push them beyond usual human limitations during combat situations. In some ways, I think they may have gone through more alterations than even the Spartan IIs.

re: Sangheilioz – LOL! :-D

I both praise and curse your ability to create suspense…

Spartan’s are mostly human. The Spartan-III were the most human of the Spartan’s but still had a few minor alterations made to them. The Spartan II’s on the other hand had several augmentations to them that left them a little less human, and a little more robotic.

re: Cooloo40 – Yup, that was deliberate. ;-)

re: Mysterioso2006 – He’s a tough guy, but there’s still only just so much abuse a Spartan can take.

re: Uzi_Master – Check out blambot.com for a lot of really great free comic book fonts. All the fonts I use in the Reclaimer series came from there. I’m actually due to check back in over there and see what new free fonts are available.
