Naming[edit]

Should this page be moved to "Beta Team" instead of "Team Beta"? Cheers. User:ImperatorExercitus/Sig

Referencing[edit]

I just added a bunch from Halo Reach, but my copy of First Strike is packed up right now. Can someone else give the article page numbers for that? -- Specops306 Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek 03:21, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

Rename to Beta Red[edit]

Since that's what they're called in these transcripts, and the games have historically trumped novels et al, that would be the canon name. I don't know about Alpha, Gamma or Delta, though, since they're never referred to in the game at all. Normally I would just go ahead and do it myself, but it seems rollback no longer allows one to move a page. -- Specops306 Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek 03:21, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

Neutral[edit]

  • Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - I'd prefer we kept the splinter team names consistent; if we move this, it would make sense if the others were moved as well. Personally, I think Beta Red may be a call sign instead of necessarily being the unit's actual name. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 04:14, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

First Strike, Definitive Edition[edit]

So, the 2011 version of First Strike has a lot of interesting details concerning Red Team, and specifically, Beta-Red. The book claims that 22 Spartans, comprising Red Team, dropped to Reach. It still maintains that 4 Spartans died upon falling to the surface, and 6 were seriously injured. When Red team divided, Alpha-Red was comprised of Fred, Kelly, and Joshua; Gamma-Red was comprised of Li, Anton, and Grace (Reds 20-22, not respectively); and Delta -comprised the 6 injured Spartans and 4 marines. This means that, according to the most recent edition of First Strike (the most up-to-date information) team Beta-Red is comprised of only 6 Spartans (the survivors of Red-19 through Red-4).

As this is the most up to date information, I feel it would be best to reflect this in the current article.
