Background

Members of Spartan group Omega on the Box of Halo Wars.

They seem to be equipped, with the MJOLNIR Mk IV Battle Armor, with an external plate, on the right shoulder. They were armed with BR55 Battle Rifles in the original trailer.

Omega, is most likely to have anywhere from 5-15 SPARTAN-IIs, in the unit of all expertise, making it a squad-sized Special Operations unit.

Game Unit

In-game, Spartan Group Omega (or rather Spartan-IIs as a whole) are without shields but heal quickly. They have to be managed carefully lest they be wiped out. They are armed with SMGs, with the opportunity to be upgraded to Chainguns and even Spartan Lasers [2]. Also, as seen in the E3 Demo, the Spartans are capable of hijacking and piloting enemy vehicles similar to its FPS counterpart but in much faster rate.

Known Members

Trivia

  • Spartan Group Omega is a playable unit type in the RTS game, Halo Wars.
  • The name of the team is Spartan "GROUP" Omega instead of Team Omega. That signifies that Spartan Group Omega is larger than the 2-4 Spartan teams referenced throughout the series that are usually designated by a simple color. There is a possibility that they are only 5 Spartans in Group Omega. But it depends on Halo Wars' gameplay.
