Where is Fireteam Crimson?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

While many will disagree, I think the best thing to come out of Halo 4 was Spartan Ops. In concept it’s a great addition to the Halo franchise but it would need tweaks for others to really enjoy it like I did. My main gripe about it was how Crimson seemed to be critical to the situation but never discussed in cut scenes. I know it’s way to much to ask for us to be represented in CGI with our various armors but atleast being talked about would be nice. When Crimson was captured, it didn’t really seem like anyone on the Infinity cared about us.

Moving on, I get a feeling that Crimson is the Spartan team working with Locke. Without a doubt Crimson is the best Fireteam on the Infinity. While being a four member squad they’ve done better than all the other teams in just about everything. We even beat Majestic in the sims being a man down apparently. With all that Crimson has been through just on a single tour of duty, they’d be up there for some pretty high end arrangments from the UNSC along with medals and promotions.

Locke would probably go through dozens of files regarding Spartans to be assembled as his team. He’d only look for the best and the most loyal. Crimson would be a no brainier in this case. MC and Blue team vs Locke and Fireteam Crimson. I doubt 343i would miss out on the RvB puns. This would also allow for some pretty awesome Jacob vs Edward action IMO. New blood vs Old School. Numbers or Expertise?

I would NOT want crimson hunting down john. If that is my team I would not be on Locke’s side.

3

No more Fireteam Faceless.
Please.

Almost every mission of theirs had little to nothing to do with the story at hand.

I’d rather prefer characters that are actually characters. Makes for better story.

4

We were at home, playing Spartan Ops an contributing to the (meh)story

5

I would be surprised if we here from crimson again. I hope they bring back firefight instead, but they could always do both and have a season 2 of spartan ops (hopefully with better gameplay variety)

6

If they do come back, it’ll be passing comments about what they’re doing, nothing more

7

Crimson is probably on the Infinity still. I loved Spartan ops but i don’t think Crimson is hunting chief. Probably Buck Romero, and that girl from Nightfall

8

The Spartans are their own branch of military, so the UNSC would not be giving them promotions. I didn’t finish Spartan Ops. All the effort went into the story and cutscenes, not the terrible gameplay.

You are aware that if they were directly involved in the story of H5G that they’d get face time. Also What’s the deal with having anonymous characters? Why have people been having such an issue with this lately?

Couldn’t agree more.

kinda to the left there

The plot twist is that Fireteam Crimson never existed at all. While playing Spartan Ops, you were actually playing as a team devised by Palmer’s subconscious, so that in her dreams she wouldn’t have to admit that Fireteam Bro-jestic were actually competent Spartans.

We got Shyamalan-ed.

well, the idea of Spartan Ops was great, but its implementation in Halo 4 was a real mess… they were like: “go there and press that button, let’s se what happens” , “kill’ em all” “other enemies incoming” “press that button and enemies will stop arriving” that is absolutely idiotic… and all of this always happened in the same 10 or 15 maps… are you telling me that every time spartans conquered a territory nobody was sent there to defend it?? or everytime it was reconquered by Jul’s covies? come on, they could have done a great job, but Spartan Ops in Halo 4 are really awful… then, the characters of crimson fireteam are not characterized at all, so they will surely not be in Locke’s team. and I’ll explain you why, but I must warn you, the next part conteins possible spoilers ( from Halo Nightfall and Halo: New Blood):

Locke’s team is composed by Locke, two male spartans and a female spartan, now if you watched Halo Nightfall you should know that Macer escaped with Locke from the Alpha Halo fragment and she said she wanted to become a ONI agent, so here’s the female spartan, then in Halo New Blood you find the odsts team from Halo 3 odst: the Rookie dies in that book (sad moment), Dutch was done with fighting, then Buck, Romeo and Mickey became spartans. After that Mickey got arrested because he joined the insurrectionists (other sad moment) and the only two remaining spartans are Buck and Romeo, guess who’ll be on Locke’s team? (Locke’s team has not yet been confirmed but this theory looks pretty realistic, or at least, I’m sure it is the best theory)

Also: you say that there’s nothing bad for faceless silent characters and that’s right, but it is far different from a non characterized character, what I mean is the difference between Crimson Fireteam and the Rookie from Halo 3 Odst, he appears in lot of cutscenes and you can see him investigate to find out where the rest of his team is, and the player could easily get in contact with him just watching he moving through the city, but there is nothing like that for Crimson team…

edit: I also love the job Bungie did with Noble six as faceless character, if you play Halo: Reach you can easily tell Noble six was a great spartan, surely one of the best Spartan III

Buck, Romeo and Mercer/ Tanaka.

In that case, I would opt for it.

I don’t truly mind anonymous characters - I think ODST did the best job in this aspect.
Halo: Reach was meh, while it was cool to see your Spartan in action… Ultimately I didn’t get much of a kick out of Noble 6 story wise.

Crimson was terrible though. If felt like everything they did didn’t matter and to make it worse, you don’t know a thing about them, they don’t talk…
They weren’t characters much at all. Felt like empty shells running around killing covenant and prometheans.

As long as firefights in the game with spartan ops I don’t care where he is. Unlikely to be with Locke because crimson is more than one spartan. Though people play alone it’s a whole fireteam

I hope Halo 5 G will be like Halo 2, The way they switched between characters.
I’d take two campaigns as an alternative though

Probably going to get killed off
