 ::::I think he is too young to be a Spartan-I and too old to be a Spartan-III. Aiken's actor is 45 years old so, if the character is around that age, that would put him nearly the same age as the Spartan-IIs. It would be weird for them to create another Spartan character with the same name as Randall. Although I agree he is a bit small to be a Spartan-II, I think I'd rather him be the same character as Randall-037 instead of a new Spartan. - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 16:11, 22 October 2014 (EDT)
 :::::He could technically be an Orion as Johnson looks insanely young for his age, especially in H2A. But I agree he's probably Randall-037. It'd be a nice way to reintroduce (and likely wrap up) an established character instead of new Spartans always popping out of thin air. And Randall's the perfect candidate too, being the only S-II MIA and all. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:15, 23 October 2014 (EDT)
+I love being right. What I don't get is how do you "reverse" enhancements like a material surgically grafted into your bones, or a dramatic overhaul of your entire nervous system or muscle fibers, without slipping into comic book nonsense. Did they give him the anti-Spartan serum or something? Then he writhed for some time in intense pain on the operating table (the "excruciating process") and his powers were gone? Maybe ONI also tested their new secret weapon, the shrink ray, on him given the size difference. That or nanomachines did it. Or maybe he never lost his augmentations and is revealed to have been an ONI double agent all along. In any case a proper explanation would be nice. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 06:51, 12 November 2014 (EST)
 ==Premiere==
 Thoughts? Comments? Etc. I felt it was a good start and can't wait to see what follows.

 :I quite like it, and don't have anything worth complaining about. Well, aside from the three Second Stories being [http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/2ly13n/nightfall_second_story_problem/ permanently stuck in what sounded like Italian for no apparent reason.] [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 04:36, 11 November 2014 (EST)
+::Well it's certainly better than the pre-release reviews made it out to be. Locke is shaping up to be quite likable, as long as they write him consistently and don't try to force him into a generic maverick badass mold like what happened with Palmer. I had a few pet peeves, like how "the Covenant" breaking the peace treaty is somehow a big deal; the UNSC never negotiated a treaty with ''the'' Covenant and ONI should be well aware there are different splinter factions (that would be fairly obvious after what happened in ''Spartan Assault'' and even more so if this is set after ''Halo 4''). And it's not like yelling at Jul 'Mdama or any other warlord about breaking a treaty is going to help anything. This seems like a small thing, but given that getting evidence for "the Covenant" breaking the treaty is the main point for the mission to the Halo shard (as opposed to just nuking it) it's a pretty big deal. Strange no one in 343i's franchise team picked up on it. Also, if the bioweapon doesn't turn out to be more than that, something with an agency behind it, I'll probably be disappointed—how convenient is it that a spontaneously generated element like this just happened to be toxic to humans only? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 06:51, 12 November 2014 (EST)
