Well, it's more an extensive series of biomechanical or genetic augmentations depending upon model of Spartan, but I like the way you think.

I know. Bone injections and muscle reinforcements, etc, etc.
I also meant to say "super steroids"
It just sounds funnier.

Yeah, "super steroids" is both more applicable and funnier. The II's had mostly biomechanical augmentations (i.e. Carbide ossification of the bones, which you mentioned), while the III's had similarly extensive genetic/chemical augmentations, and IV's had much less extreme augmentations. You probably already knew that; I just like talking about Halo.

Are you a big fan of the games, extended lore, or both? For me it's both.

Yes. I've read most of the books. Love it all.. Not too crazy about Halo 5 but.. love most of it. The Kilo-five trilogy has so far been my favorite Halo series, honestly. Wish there was more of them.

Halo 5 had a fairly weak campaign, but the multiplayer's amongst the best in the franchise, so it's pretty middle for me. Reach or 3 would have to be my favorite.

I want to like 5's multiplayer, but it just feels too twitch-shooter-y now.
Like, it's less fun and more competitive. I just don't enjoy it anymore.

It definitely feels a bit more competitive, but I myself am a somewhat competitive person in fact, I bet I'm more competitive than you , so I enjoy it.

I don't know, maybe I just suck now. Not having any friends to play with might add to it.
Used to do custom games all the time with a lot of friends when Halo 3 was the big thing.
I miss that game, it was always a fun time...

I could probably enjoy Warzone if it were for the somewhat pay-to-win aspect that's in it. I know it's not that much of a game changer, but it's kind of annoying as fuck that my team gets fucked over because no one has any vehicles as the other team rolls out in scorpions.
Also I miss unlocking armor through achievements like in Halo 3..
I miss a lot of things from Halo 3... Shit's just too grindy now.

I also miss unlocking armors through levels or actions; it's amongst my biggest gripe for the game. But really, the micro transactions in Warzone aren't much of a game-changer, you'll typically get enough cards anyway. Halo 3 still has a large player base in the MCC, so if you have that, you can have a lot of fun with it. Really, the problem with Warzone is the number of req points that one team will get if they kill the bosses and hold points; then they all spawn tanks at once and you can never really recover. You're basically always either steamrolling or getting steamrolled.

In due time.

So... Spartans? We train them to be Spartans.

We just need Dr. Halsey, and billions of dollars.

Yes.

Give them the jobs where you move boxes from point A to point B

Aww yeah TR-8R
