There's no way every member is having a SPARTAN, IMO, it would be ridiculous. I honestly think Tom should be the only member with a SPARTAN, seeing as his is the new Master Chief. A couple here and there is ok, as long as they have some damn good profile history and whatnot. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... WTF. Is it just me or are you being a bit of a kiss ass? Ok, sure, everyone who makes a SPARTAN wants theirs to replace John-117 or some shit along the lines of that. Sad, really.

Ok, sure, everyone who makes a SPARTAN wants theirs to replace John-117 or some shit along the lines of that. Sad, really. He's not being a kiss ass, he's making a good point. A point that I agree with. Tom's Spartan should be the only one because of three reasons: 1. He's head admin 2. Spartans are pretty damn powerful, if every member has one or two, then the RP's will be no fun, there will be no struggle. 3. The only Spartans left in the Haloverse are a few trapped in that Dyson sphere thing-o and John. Before you say 'there could have been more Spartan programs' you'd be right, but not at this time in our timeline, which is the year 2553. One may have been started this year, but remember the members of the program would only be 6 years old or something. So yeah, sorry if I'm just repeating what many have already said, but those three reasons should justify this new Spartan rule.

good play..good move as well a) I don't have a Spartan anymore because well I think they are to put a real face on after all they are merely pawns (but good pawns and yes they are pawns because only the top officals are not pawns but are merely moving the pawns in place and even if they are a Master Cheif technically if I remember correctly has the commanding power of about a Sergeant if I remember correctly and this is how I picture it) in the chess game that is war and
B) As stated before Spartans are to powerful for many people to use and well we aren't a small group anymore so maby just the admins get Spartans if they wish as with the current staff that would be 4? Spartans. I think we were lucky in the first place that a restriction like this was not placed sooner or you had to ask a for a Spartan so get over it plus I think Marines are much easier to RP as well you can paint a face on them as well Spartans are tools of war not Bill or Joe down the street but human beings created for the sole purpose of killing now granted they are still human but surely without fighting they don't have much to live for maby dealing with rebels but logically if the UNSC is really fighting a large scale war anymore why waste money on making on Spartans when you can spend that money on weapons or rebuilding stuff..cause after that war I doubt the UNSC has money to just say hey lets make some Spartans I would rather have more troops then a few good troops because as good as Spartans are numbers truely win.
So anyway all I have to say if good move for the future..and no I am not kissing his ass because really I don't give a d*** what you think because your just a person over the internet and the odds are in favor of me never seeing you again because its 1/*insert current number of humans on this earth* and I could get all philsophical on you and say "do you really exist to me when I can only use an extension of my sight to prove your exsistence"..sorry I am just in a rambling mood right now :/

Specs, don't get rid of your Spartans, we just want to keep the Spartan population from getting out of control in the future.

Per Indy and Danny. Mitch, tone it down. "Kiss ass" isn't wanted here, and the likes.

Spartans are pretty damn powerful, if every member has one or two, then the RP's will be no fun, there will be no struggle. Spartans and Major Elites are about the same in terms of combat ablities.

As it's said, but that may be relative. Most people have their Spartan characters equivalent in strength to Master Chief, who seems to be closer to an Ultra or even a Zealot in combat. I don't know about anyone else, but Majors are not an equal match when I play. I also know my Spec-ops Major would have to be fairly lucky to survive a battle with any of the Spartan characters here. Majors, realisticly, wouldn't be as rare and people aren't as enthusiastic about them. What people usualy choose as characters are Spartans and Zealots. Which, for the purposes of our story, should possibly be considered equal.

I think Indy's said all that needs to be said so far.
I'll leave this open in case of future questions from old or new members.

So it's Kelly and the other SPARTANs(forgot). And they are litterally screwed over. Dead. So, no SPARTANs are left. Well, besides any that may pop up in the irrelevent future.

Not so much dead as they are just gone, (unless a lot has happened since the last time I checked). Anyway, I do see your point. However, one of the main features of the Halo universe is Spartans, outlawing them all together seems unreasonable. Making a few changes to the storyline to make it more fun should be fine, but, for the sake of realism, changes should be small and few. The future on the otherhand is not set in stone. I don't see why we couldn't bring in a new Spartan program later, but we would need to all get together to discuss it, and decide on the right time and place to introduce it. We are a community, and in order decide upon something with such a large impact on the story, we need to decide on it together. So for now, there is a limit.
