So are we still alive?

By “we” I mean Fire Team Crimson. Has anything been hinted at in the expanded lore so far? What’s next for Crimson? It’s the best thing that’s happened to the new Halo series because it’s our stories unfolding. I seriously hope Spartan Ops comes back for a second season if not then Halo 5 Spartan Ops.

I assume we’re alive. I do know we will have been put on some missions.
As evident in the Limited edition of Halo 4 Crimson were put on missions we dont play during the events of spartan ops.

So Crimson are still their own characters, just we design them and who they are.(if that makes sense)

The glassing beam that hit Infinity during the events of Escalations destroyed the dining hall, where Crimson was presently enjoying a turkey dinner, vaporizing all of them.

In seriousness, we don’t know. I’d think it is safe to assume “we” are very much alive, but “our” role in the future is currently uncertain.

“This was a triumph. I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS…”

Portal jokes aside, I think Crimson is still alive. If not, 343 would directly say it, or actually show Crimson’s death.

We got killed by Ownage Level Grunts.

Some of us got killed by some Grunts while others have been captured for unknown reasons.

The part where the glassing ports wreak Infinity’s mid-section is a good excuse for killing off Crimson in an offscreen that thereby shamelessly adding a dramatic effect to the story.

Crimson is alive as far as we’re concerned. They may or may not return as characters in the lore or playable characters in the games.

Am I the only person who’s never really associated self very well with the Fireteam? I’ve always imagined Crimson as their own cast of characters and we simply just play as them, like we do with Master Chief in Halo 4’s campaign.

I saw Crimson as 4 red Spartans paralleling Fireteam Majestic until that vision was overwritten by the Fireteam Crimson Mega Bloks set which had 5 Spartans, an unavailable emblem, and determined armor selections including Recruit, Scout, and Mark VI.

And… There’s another Portal joke!

Stahp. It’s getting hard to overstate my satisfaction.

What? Turkeys aren’t extinct after five more centuries of Thanksgivings? You’d think they’d be snacking on moas…

Anyway, I do believe Crimson is still alive, though I’m skeptical we’ll see them again. We were Crimson, it was a character that you were solely.

Like in ODST and Reach. Six and Rookie never revealed their real names, because you were them, in that Halo universe. I know this may be confusing, but I don’t know how else to explain it. :stuck_out_tongue:

If they were killed off, it would make it that much easier for something I proposed a little while back.

Pretty sure Crimson is alive since 343 has yet to announce their deaths.

You do realize that most of the turkey you eat is farm raised right?

That said I believe they were enjoying a tasty Jackal sandwich from Kentucky Fried Jackal XD

Yeah, we don’t know their actual fates but they could still be alive. In fact Crimson could easily be one Spartan (which would give that Spartan a massive as crap kill count)

In the wake of the Requiem Campaign, Crimson Team came to realize that they were being commanded by utter morons with the survival instinct of a lemming and the professionalism, respect, and competence of a drunken walrus. They took one look around them, grabbed Shadow Team, Dalton, and Miller, and requested a transfer to a theater of operations where they were not commanded by an utter fool trying to get them killed while spouting off what he or she thinks is a pithy one-liner.

Signing off on this transfer request was the last act of Admiral Terrance Hood before he was abducted by Serin Osman and replaced by a poorly made, emanciated flash-clone so that she could secretly rule through the puppet-clone. As virtually every intelligent human being was killed during the War with the Covenant, no one noticed the stark change in Hood’s personality or even physical appearance.

Operating in a remote sector, Crimson Team routinely leads highly successful operations against Covenant Loyalists, Insurgents, and other threats to Humanity, and every Thursday evening, they sit round the holo table and attend “Coping With Idiots Anonymous” where they are joined by Spartan-117, Blue Team, and Catherine Halsey, who teach them the finer points of how to politely nod and deal with a suicidally moronic commanding officer in ways that don’t involve abusing narcotics or ejecting the officer out an airlock. Crimson Leader is currently writing a book entitled “In the Line of Fire: How the UNSC Lost Requiem.”

There you have it. The fate of Crimson Team.
