Talk:Thirteen dead Spartans

Canon?

I can't help but feel that the Spartans seen in Lone Wolf were meant more as an easter egg than as actual representations of dead Spartans. The fact that their armor is randomly generated would suggest that they're not meant to be characters. My feeling is that it's just Bungie's way of showing off the different types of armor players can buy if they just keep playing and earning cR. -- Rusty - 112 23:20, 26 December 2010 (EST)

That is certainly possible, but there hasn't been any indication that they were intended as easter eggs (unlike the BOBs for example). I think it's more likely they were put in to show that Noble Team wasn't the only group of SPARTANS to fight and die during the battle, plus to kind of drive home the hopelessness of the situation. But anyway, unless we can get a confirmation either way, I think it's safer to assume they represent an actual KIA SPARTAN unit. SPARTAN-347 00:05, 27 December 2010 (EST)

But look how much their armor changes, as well as the fact that they and you reference seven by numbering fourteen. They seem far more likely to be symbolic and there's virtually no information that we can get on them. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 13:17, 10 January 2011 (EST)

I agree; they seem much more representational of fallen Spartans in general rather than a specific unit of Spartans. I was always under the impression that the dead Spartans are symbolic of Noble Six dying among her/his comrades and should not be taken literally - hence the random armour. - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) 15:04, 10 January 2011 (EST)

About the variety and complexity in armor configuration, is it possible that they are a Spartan 3 unit, kinda like a Noble team. Saying that the bodies are to be counted as canon at all and not just like mentioned above symbolism, for all the Spartans who died on reach. --RussellofSwinhart 02:09, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Should we add a deletion template? Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 15:35, 10 January 2011 (EST)

No. Even if the level of canon cannot be concluded, this article and its information should remain. -TheLostJedi 12:48, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
