I was just curious what Doctor Halsey thought of the III’s after meeting them on Onyx. While in Spec Ops she didn’t seem to think much regarding the IV’s, except for maybe Thorne, how did she regard the III’s considering that Kurt and Mendez had trained them?
If I remember correctly, Halsey wasn’t a fan of Spartan-IIIs. she saw them as pale imitations of her spartan-IIs, and possibly a bit insulated as the Spartan-III program was headed by the same man who tried to undermine Halsey’s Spartan-II program so he can take her funding for his own projects.
I remember that the Spartan 3 were made by a section of the military that didn’t like Halseys Spartan 2 programme. They wanted budget super soldiers. So I imagine she wasn’t a fan of her rival copying her ideas and doing it poorly.
Compare her hostility to Noble Team to how she interacts with Jorge in Halo Reach. Contempt and is only dealing with them as a means to an end. As opposed to having that twisted affection for her Spartans.
She didn’t seem to care much for noble team except for Jorge 052.
I noticed that she called the other members by their rank or call signs except for Jorge.
