Re-release[edit]
On August 2024, the Official Spartan Field Manual was re-released by the publisher Simon & Schuster. For the updated release, the Manual featured an audiobook version:
- Chris Henry Coffey – Narrator[3]
- Elle Newland – Spartan Tedra Grant, reprising her role from Spartan Ops[3]
- Pete Simonelli – Spartan Gabriel Thorne[3]
Errors[edit]
- On page 62, the Truth and Reconciliation is referred to as a carrier.
- On page 74, it states that John-117 was in cryosleep for six years, instead of four years.
- On page 84, Operation: PROMETHEUS is dated June 2537 instead of July.
- On page 85, the approval of the SPARTAN-III program is dated 2431 instead of 2531.
- On page 113, an occurrence of Fireteam Jackknife is written with a single “k”.
- On page 141, the abbreviation for the rank Crewman is indicated as “CR” instead of “CN”, repeating the abbreviation for Crewman Recruit.
- On page 153, the image used for the Sangheili Zealot is that of a Sangheili Officer.
- On page 181, the redundancy “Mark V and Mark V” was most probably intended to be “Mark V and Mark VI”.
