Did you know there isn’t a spartan in the armor you wear in multiplayer? You are a ghost. No wonder the covenant call you demon.

scary…
Uh…ok
this ghost has one hellava arm then with those legendary gernade throws
I’d rather not have the game determine what I look like, though…
How’d you find out?
I’m still going with my theory that all of our multiplayer Spartans are in training, so aren’t actually Spartans yet. The fact we can customize and change our armor so frequently is based around that fact.
This also fixes the “100,000 canonical Spartans” dilemma, most of our characters probably won’t make it through training.
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!
This post is for comedy purpose only and shouldnt be taken serious.
OP, how do you came up with your idea and are there any proves?

That’s not really how the Spartan-IV program works. People are offered to join the program and if they could washout (which I’ve never heard of with the S-IV program) it would be before they received their augmentations. If our characters in MP can wear Mjolnir armor that means they’ve already received their augmentations, which means they’re already Spartans. Also, just because they wanted to make MP canonical doesn’t mean that every player’s Spartan canonically exists.
All of the Spartans that currently exist were put together under the Spartan branch. I’ll make a bullet for each Spartan generation and their numbers.
There will be spoilers for several Halo novels below, although most of them are very vague - There are between 300-500+ Spartan-IVs according to Halopedia and Halo Wikia (which sounds about right from what I’ve read). - Of the Spartan-IIIs that were integrated into the Spartan Branch, the only ones we know of that aren’t from Gamma Company are Jun-A266, Kevin-A282, Tom-B292, and Lucy-B091. Rosenda-A344 and Spartan-B170 may also have survived the war, but their fate is currently unknown. So, that leaves 319 Spartans from Gamma company that aren’t dead (7) or haven’t already been named (4, and although Spartan G059’s name might not be known at this time, she had her own comic, so I’m sure they’ll name her eventually). However, when Gamma company was disbanded (it was confirmed in a Catalog interaction here on Waypoint) an unknown number decided to return to non-combatant status after the war rather than be integrated into the Spartan Branch, so that reduces the number of active Spartan-IIIs that haven’t been named or described in any way to a number below 319. In addition, ONI decided in 2553 to eventually reassign all remaining active members from Gamma Company to more covert roles due to the fact that having teenage orphans from the Human-Covenant war with illegal genetic enhancements in the Spartan Branch wouldn’t be good for publicity. We currently only know of three S-IIIs that have been transferred though, they’re from the novels and were transferred to an ONI Ferret Team. - There are a very small amount of active Spartan-IIs left alive that we know of (14, there’s Grey Team, Red Team, Blue Team, three members from Omega Team, and Naomi) and many that are confirmed dead. Due to the population discrepancies regarding the S-IIs from things like the novels and everything that was done to fix them, I don’t know how many other Spartan-IIs could possibly be alive. As a result, I’m just going to assume that unless 343 introduces more S-II survivors in future games or novels that aren’t anymore that players could claim.
Probs cause it’ll be a waste of resource to add a character model in Game even though we don’t know who we look like, if it were custscenes we would, look at Halo reach’s Noble team for an example

I appreciate your detailed explanation, but the pitfall is right here. They aren’t wearing the armor, It’s simulated. Much like OP said, there’s nobody actually in there.
