Talk:Operation: PROMETHEUS

Oh wow

300 Spartans? None of whom survive but save the UNSC?

It was a suicide mission. It's detailed in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 19:51, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

UNSC Arbiters?

It could be possible that this operation was like an Arbiter mission for the SPARTAN-III's, seeing it as a suicide mission. Lovemuffin 04:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction

Only two survive? Only three survive? Which is it? —This unsigned comment was made by SPARTAN-225 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Halo reach error

Somone should change the amount of spartans sent in the operation to 297 cause three were taken out before the deployment. SPARTAN-225

It's not an error - there were more than 300 members of Beta company, just like the Alpha and Gammas. You didn't think he'd cut dozens of decent candidates out of the program because they didn't make 300, right?-- Forerunner 01:45, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

I think SPARTAN-225 is right cause i just finished reading ghosts of onyx and it said that there was only enough room for 300 spartans for alpha company and also in beta company, the only company that had more was gamma with the exception of 340 spartans. Alex-223 16:18 17 june 2011 (EDT)

No the novel clearly says there's more than 300 Spartans in each company "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 00:19, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Um i don't believe so. The novel says there were over 300 candidates but they only had enough room for 300 and the same went with beta company, Kurt was lucky enough to get the exception of 340 in gamma company. SPARTAN-225 23:59, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

Only enough for 300 to go on suicide mission, read forerunner's statement again. "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 00:01, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

There's still another 118 candidates available - I'm sure they could have expanded for these guys - the Headhunters were separated from their companies and trained for their own missions without affecting the number of SPARTANs in major assaults. If any of you have Ghosts of Onyx with you right now could you check how the Alpha company conscripts are referred to on the dropship - does Kurt use their tags?-- Forerunner 05:26, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

Lessons Learned

Does Lessons Learned actually mention PROMETHEUS? As far as I recall from the preview (which may or may not have been official) it (rather embarrassingly) claimed Jun was part of Beta Company and was pulled out before TORPEDO. I suppose this could be classified as an indirect mention of PROMETHEUS, but still. --Jugus (talk) 10:25, 18 September 2016 (EDT)
