Spartan Tag

OK, I've started qeuestioning myself about the tag. I think 1, I hear 1. I think 5, I hear 5. I'm going to clean up the words, make them louder and show it to some people tomorrow. See what they think it is.Fairfieldfencer FFF 17:50, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

I heard 5 playing it through turtle beaches over my Xbox. The red haired woman also fits Linda's description. Spartan 501 21:02, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

It is definitely 0-1-8. I used DivX subtitles to know for sure. Killjax 22:08, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

If I had to guess I'd say that it does indeed say "018" but they did intend to refer to Linda -she matches her description-, they just fudged on the tag.-- Rusty - 112 22:47, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

The tag may be wrong, but with the right audio setup the moderator clearly calls for "Zero-Five-Eight". It's her. --Courage never dies. 23:13, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Subtitles are only as good as the person transcribing them. If the transcription doesn't come from 343i, then the person was simply interpreting the audio, as opposed to the script. I listened to the HD version & as far as I'm concerned, the voiceover does say "zero-five-eight". - DJenser 10:09, 23 October 2012 (EDT)

Greatest Strength

"Master Chief's mind is violated by a powerful new enemy, who in searching for Chief's weaknesses, finds the source of his strength". Did I miss what the source of his strength is? Alex T Snow 13:19, 22 October 2012 (EDT)

The source of his strength is overcoming his background. It shaped him, made him the supersoldier he is, but he's not "broken". He's able to draw on it without it being painful for him. This, at least, is my reading of the trailer. Others are welcome to their own interpretations. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 07:41, 23 October 2012 (EDT)

In much the same way that an actual member of the Spartiate class was shaped, from the age of 6 or 7 through adulthood, into a warrior unrivalled in his time by undergoing the agoge, John 117 was made into a supersoldier, starting from the age of 6, through the SPARTAN II program. As Mr. Morhek has pointed out, rather than being shattered by this process, he was tempered by it into a warrior of unparalleled courage, ability and determination. Director David Fincher captured the essence of this (as best he could, given the helmet) in the final scene, where the Chief slowly (and perhaps defiantly) looks up at the Didact after having his memories ransacked, as if to say "Is that all you got?". - DJenser 11:16, 23 October 2012 (EDT)
