What Spartans Remain?
Because I went down the Halopedia rabbit hole and I'm an obsessive nut, I've put together a list of all the Spartan-IIs, just to figure out who's alive, who's dead, who's missing, and the numbers which are unaccounted for
Alright so, there were at least 150 candidates considered for Spartan-IIs, half were conscripted, and of that 75, we have at least 50 named (or at least numbered) individuals
Alive (when last we saw them):
Jai-006
Naomi-010
Leon-011
Serin-019 (washout)
Robert-025
Douglas-042
Linda-058
Maria-062 (semi-retired)
Cassandra-075 (washout)
Fhajad-084 (washout)
Kelly-087
Jerome-092
Musa-096 (washout)
August-099
Fred-104
Adriana-111
John-117 (duh)
Michael-120
Alice-130
Definitely Dead:
Li-008 (2552)
Daisy-023 (unknown date during war, 2526-2552)
Joshua-029 (2552)
Otto-031 (2557)
Samuel-034 (2525)
Randall-037 (2556)
William-043 (2552)
Anton-044 (2552)
Kurt-051 (2552)
Jorge-052 (2552)
Margaret-053 (2557)
Malcolm-059 (2552)
Sheila-065 (2544)
Solomon-069 (2544)
Spartan-073 (2525)
Arthur-079 (2544)
Grace-093 (2552)
Victor-101 (2557)
Ralph-103 (unknown date during war, 2526-2552)
Oscar-129 (2525)
Cal-141 (2544)
Roma-143 (2557)
Unidentified Trainee (2525)
Unidentified Spartan (2531)
Maybe Dead:
James-005 (2552)
Vinh-030 (2552)
Isaac-039 (2552)
Beta-Romeo Actual (2552)
Red Fifteen (2552)
Red Four (2552)
Red Nineteen (2552)
Status unknown:
Kirk-018 (washout, possibly rehabilitated)
Keiichi-047 (alive as of 2531)
Soren-066 (alive as of 2527)
Rene-081 (washout, possibly rehabilitated)
Joseph-122 (alive as of 2525)
Carris-137 (alive as of 2520)
Spartans-116, 118, 119, 121, 123, and 124 (possibly the unidentified trainee and Spartan, as well ass Beta-Romeo Actual, Red-Fifteen, Red Four, and Red Nineteen)
Missing numbers:
Spartans number 001, 002, 003, 004, 007, 009, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 020, 021, 022, 024, 026, 027, 032, 033, 035, 036, 038, 040, 041, 045, 046, 048, 049, 050, 054, 055, 056, 057, 060, 061, 063, 064, 067, 068, 070, 071, 072, 074, 076, 077, 078, 080, 082, 083, 085, 086, 088, 089, 090, 091, 094, 097, 098 (according to the silver timeline, Spartan-098 is named "Nora"), 100, 102, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 126, 127, 128, 131, 132, 133, 135, 136, 138, 139, 140, 142, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150 (I'm sure I messed up somewhere)
obviously given that not all 150 candidates were recruited, some (about 70) of these numbers did not actually become Spartans, trainees or otherwise, such as Caleb-095, the father of Olympia Vale
Additionally, Spartans-028 (Riz), 125 (Kai), and 134 (Vanak) do exist per 343's internal documentation, but as of yet have not appeared in the Prime timeline
therefore there are about 19 confirmed living Spartans, 24 confirmed dead, 7 possible dead, and 12 unknowns, for a total of 62 (or 65 counting the silvers), so there are at least 10-13 other Spartans we have not met, be they active, retired, washout, dead, or missing

Hornet
The hornet is probably my favourite vehicle in the halo universe, I loved playing the missions where it gets used in halo 3. I find its design to be a pretty perfect balance of futuristic technology that seems possible and realistic military design, I especially liked it’s ability to carry extra troops which modern halo aircraft’s don’t normally do in such an interesting fashion
Halopedia lore
The AV-14 Hornet is a VTOL capable aircraft in service since at least 2524, during the Insurrection. It served all the way into the Human-Covenant War from the Battle for Arcadia to the Battle of Installation 00.
The Hornet is often the mainline UNSC aircraft, that can carry two passengers and can hover in place over areas.
The most analogous vehicle to the Hornet is the Falcon, seen during the events Halo: Reach. It acts as the mainline UNSC air that game as well and features dual gunner seats. In-game versions can carry more passengers and some have a pilot-controlled main gun.
Alternate appearance.

Does anyone know if Waypoint is going to archive these events and lore and short stories? I'm worried since they just got rid of forums. Halopedia is already full of dead links because they don't keep things on Waypoint for long.

Fanfic research made me discover a character who might actually have the achievement of being the first female Sangheili character: Sanj’ik, a rare female weapons master that served under Ripa ‘Moramee of all people. Her lore apparently came from the now defunct Halo Wars launch site, where she had about as many sentences of focus as Meduu the Fierce in the encyclopedia.
Having a hard time finding the specific time frame the website launched (assuming close to or prior to the game’s release), but it may pre-date the release of Halo: Legends, which had Han and def predates Halo: Glasslands and Raia.

You know what's great about writing fanfic for Halo? Halopedia is not a Fandom wiki.

"Why did you order your Spartans to jump from the Pelican?" the interviewer demanded once again.
Her face was shrouded in darkness. A lamp was pointed directly in his eyes. Fred smirked. Did they really think that conventional interrogation tactics from centuries-old cop procedurals were going to make a Spartan sweat?
"It was the best tactical option." He shook his head once. "No. It was the only tactical option."
The interviewer scoffed loudly and crossed her arms over her chest. She kept doing that. As though she had any idea what it was like to be in the field. Maybe she did. But she didn't know what it was to be a Spartan.
"Don't you feel responsibility for what happened to your team?" she asked harshly.
Externally, Fred remained emotionless. Passive. He was the very picture of the robot super-soldier that the UNSC rank-and-file believed the Spartans to be. Internally, he recoiled.
Did he feel responsible?
He felt nothing else. He saw each of their faces - every Spartan that had died under his command. Malcolm. Joshua. Grace. Anton. Vinh. Isaac. The list went on. It filed through his mind on an endless loop, whenever he had a spare moment to think.
Then there were the others. Gray Team... wherever they were. Omega Team, too. Randall, who'd been lost years ago. Cal, Arthur, Solomon, and Daisy along with him. Kelly.
He wished she were here. She would've been able to put his head back on straight.
Of course, with his track record lately, he could very well have lost her on the Unyielding Hierophant. Maybe it was better that Halsey had absconded with her. He could at least believe that she was still out there. Force himself to believe it. He wouldn't make it much further if he didn't.
"I asked you a question, Spartan One Zero Four." The interviewer's voice was full of venom. She practically spit the words. She was trying to intimidate him.
That must have been a joke.
Fred rose from his seat. Even out of his armor, he towered over everyone in the sealed interrogation room. He reached out with one hand and very deliberately turned the lamp out of his eyes - a challenge to the interviewer. Go ahead and make me sit back down, he thought.
"I made the best decision. Unlike many in this facility, I care deeply about the soldiers under my command and I refused to waste their lives." He didn't say the words so much as growl them. His right hand clenched into a fist so tight that his knuckles turned paper-white.
The interviewer stared up at him. She was trying to put on a tough face, to keep control of the situation. To her credit, she was doing a good job. She almost managed to hide the vein pulsing in her forehead. The ever-so-slight widening of her eyes. The almost imperceptible tremor in her voice when she barked, "Are you implying that HIGHCOM wasted Spartan lives?"
The Spartan managed to choke down the biting laughter that threatened to escape him. Thirty Spartans combined for RED FLAG. For a suicide mission. But here they were, trying to pass the buck for their deaths onto him.
Fred smirked again. "No, Ma'am," he answered, forcing himself to slacken his fist. He looked her dead in the eye. She had blue eyes. Almost as light in color as Kelly's. "To imply would leave some ambiguity. What I am doing is inferring."
The woman's face coiled in disgust. But it was only skin-deep. She didn't have the clearance to know what he was talking about... she was just here to be ONI's voice. To provide them with plausible deniability for the public eye.
She opened her mouth to answer. Then the door burst open to reveal Fleet Admiral Lord Terrence Hood himself. The Admiral's face was red. He was shouting. The interviewer was escorted out by MPs. Fred watched it all from the sidelines.
Kelly would have found the whole situation hilarious.
Then Hood turned to him. "Suit up, Senior Chief. We're sending Blue downstairs - you ready to get back to work?"
Fred nodded, standing at stiff attention. Then he smiled. "Eager, sir."

According to a new Halo Waypoint Canon Fodder update, the Silver Team Spartans now officially exist in the Prime Halo universe, and actually appear in Halo Wars no less
See in the Halo Wars mission Arcadia Outskirts you encounter Omega Team, a six-Spartan unit, half of Omega Team was established in Halo Wars 2 DLCs to be August-099, Leon-011, and Robert-025, but the other half was left unnamed, until now

What are your thoughts on Gunny Bobrov? She showed up as the POV character in the Trial of Reckoning Waypoint story that came out with the Firefight update and is currently presumed dead.
I love her! I'll admit I thought it was hysterical that an even more niche Halo 4 character (who's first appearance is in a PA System hidden feature listing her as the Mammoth driver) showed up before Miller or Roland. Her and fucking Terry Hedge from SpOps (He was in 2 levels!! Is Esposito next?) making an appearance was really funny. I didn't know her beforehand and for a moment I thought she was one of the marines featured in the audiologs.
As for her character, I enjoyed the story and how she was written. No nonsense type who took stock and did what she could. And she misses the Infinity more than I do.
She placed 4th with a friend in the chili cookoff. This is what I want from Halo stories going forward. Characters who have little details and fun links to the wider world we got to know over the games/novels/mobile games/ side stuff.
Her story, if it ends where it does, is good! I would like to see it continue. Rereading it for this ask makes me appreciate the tension and the glimpse into a single soul stuck in Escharum's dumb game. I love outsider POV stories. She reminisces about Lasky and Chief and wonders where they are. She remembers the war as the tension grows. She sets the standard for this new group of her, Hedge, Singh, and Doc. It's satisfying but leaves you wondering.
This acceptance of the their own personal hell, the crucible of war games that we've been told is the Jiralhanae way, this is more interesting than us hearing Escharum tell Chief "Fight Hard, Die Well" over and over again. The human moments make Halo and scared out of your mind but doing it anyway is a fun story!
That and the nice "she had been called upon to serve once more". She retired and then reenlisted? But I do love the Halsey line echo that she said to an auditorium of freshly kidnapped 6 year olds.
Bobrov was called upon to serve, as if she ever had a choice. She's another cog in this war machine but we get to see and feel so much in this one short story that I hope they capture in the others moving forward. I do really enjoy what the writing team is putting out, whatever they're allowed to do.
I hope we see more of Bobrov, Hedge, Singh, and Doc. Maybe Kelly Gay can save some of them too, like she saved Horvath and Kovan.
#this got long sorry#i had feelings about halo again so this is all over#Elena Bobrov#asks#anon#anon i love you telling me about her as if I didnt scour halopedia for her as soon as she popped up bc how could i not know a niche side#character from hit 2012 video game H4#lore tag#tldr this was good compared to the rest of escharum's nonsense. still cannot stand the character

The internal development name for Halo: Combat Evolved (the first game in the franchise, often abbreviated as just CE) went through a couple of different iterations while Bungie was working on it; initially it was called Armor, but they thought that was too boring considering what they were trying to do with CE, so they called it Monkey Nuts.
Which was then promptly changed to just Blam! because the co-founder of Bungie, Jason Jones, could not bring himself to tell his mother the original name.
Also the concept art for Combat Evolved (and Halo 2) goes so fucking hard. (image spam under the read-more)






#ooc#I love halo so much#but also thinking about it too much makes me sad considering the direction it's been going lately#both in terms of actual story and gameplay#(GLARES AT INFINITE.)#honestly i'd look up more concept art for CE + halo 2 on halopedia there's like. a lot
