Meridian Divide ending

Meridian Divide end with the four protagonists accepting to be augmented similar to Spartans. So what you think of this ending ? Do you find it stupid or do you like it ? Do you think the augmentations will be on ORION level or Spartan level ? There’s a mention in the Spartan Field Manual that the SPARTAN-IV program originally came as an “experiment to add limited enhancements to ONI operatives in 2550”, so maybe will be only on ORION level. We know for sure from Halo:Initiation that Dorian, Evie, Saskia and Victor were not part of the first class of Spartan IVs. So what will happen to them ? Remember that the Covenant won the battle of Meridian and glassed the entire planet so it’s very likely that they will die in Battle Born 3.
