A couple tips before you use this Q/A live and potentially make an -Yoink- of yourself:

-The Spartan-II success rate numbers question should not be used. There are too many ambiguities in the lore that are not yet addressed, and your answer could very well be wrong.

-The Noble Team/S-III question. The answer is incorrect in two ways: 1) All Spartan-IIIs can use MJOLNIR, it was just too expensive at the time for what was essentially three companies of suicide squads. 2) NOBLE received the same augmentations as the rest of their respective (Alpha and Bravo) companies. They just happened to be cream of the crop- it is said Noble’s members all had genetics more in line with Halsey’s criteria for a Spartan.

Might want those brushed up a bit before you bring 'em live. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for taking the time to post a reply.

That said, you are mistaken on a couple of things.

Will come back with how/why later. Gotta get ready for work!

Just another thing- for whenever you return- you may consider toning down the difficulty of some of these questions. That, or make a second list of more accessible questions. Only a few handfuls worth of Halo players are that in-depth on their lore, so you’ll probably draw more blank expressions than eager participants.

Rely on some of the previous games’ related lore, as well as more basic book related-questions. Such as: Name three Spartan-IIs other than John and Jorge.

Fun, easy questions that other players will be able to access and appreciate more fully.

Very cool, thanks for the trivia
