S-312's superior

I was just wondering if someone could clarify something for me. It says that most likely S-B312's superior was Ackerson because Ackerson had requested Tom-B292 to head his special warfare team but that request was denied and Tom went with Lucy to train Gamma. So according to speculation Ackerson may have received S-312 instead. However, isn't this highly unlikely due to the fact that Ackerson thought the only Beta company survivors were Lucy and Tom because he had been kept in the dark about Spartan-IIIs being pulled from Alpha and Beta and given MJOLNIR? So he couldn't have been given S-312 because he didn't even know S-312 existed right? Or did he just think he had been previously assigned to a non-combat role like it said in the Mendez-Ambrose transmission? Oh and by the way one other question when it talks about "cat 2s" in the transcript does that mean Spartan-IIIs with Spartan-II genetic standards? --Ace of Spades

I agree. It does appear that Ackerson was unaware that Kurt was pulling a select few candidates out and shifting them to Mjolnir-wearing units.-- Rusty-112 Admin ^comm 23:40, 10 July 2013 (EDT)

This edit...

... needs to be revised on two counts. Firstly, the introduction as well as the opening quote needs to be reverted to its previous revision. The current quote would fit nicely in the "Death" section whereas the previous section fits nicely with his overall personality (or what's left of it to the player's imagination). The introduction should be the most condensed paragraph about the subject and its job should be to introduce the subject to readers. There is no need of an overview/summary of his biography/characterisation in the introduction.

Secondly, this image needs to be altered: Noble Six should be in his default configuration. We've already discussed about this years ago. On the subject of "what we've agreed years ago", it should be noted that we've also agreed that his birth date provided in GameInformer is likely to be an error made by the editor.

Oh, congrats Tuckers on becoming an administrator. All those red buttons!! — subtank 09:35, 15 July 2013 (EDT)

I've been warned not to press any of those shiny big red buttons...

I could cut most of the opening summary. The recap may be unnecessary, though I was trying to incorporate something similar to what John-117 has on his article intro. I think the first few sentences comparing Six to John should be kept, though. Something to explain how this character is important.

The image I got from YouTube, because it was the highest quality one I could find, and the configuration didn't look THAT different to me. Guess it is. I lack a screen capture device, though, so unless someone with one of those is willing to take pics of Six in default armor during the cutscenes, I will have to hunt around on YouTube for some video with default. Also, did not know that about the birth date. I will cut that out. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 11:01, 15 July 2013 (EDT)

Well, maybe compress it again instead of deleting it if you feel it is necessary? John-117 is one exceptional, hyper-lethal article; cramming everything from the novels to games to miscellaneous media in that introduction. Not even Six can beat 117.

As for video on Six arriving, might I suggest downloading them from HBO? You can get the links from Cutscene (check the end of the page).

Also, do you have the access launch code to Special:Nuke? — subtank 11:11, 15 July 2013 (EDT)

HBO's Reach cutscenes have Six in brown armor, not black, unless they've been changed recently. I'll probably end up rewriting that summary and compressing it, while expanding down below. I intend to revamp this page a bit.

Nuking? Not that I can tell. Can't seem to find it on the Special Pages list. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 11:18, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
