Talk:Hellbringers

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

When are hellbringers canonically referenced as hellbringers? (I lost my game manual, in case it's in there)

Actually every canon source I find just calls them flamethrowers,where Hellbringer came from I have no idea but it sounds fitting.Surpreme Commander Sith-venator Wavingstrider (Holonet) 23:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
It is referenced on the Halowars.com UNSC manual, although called Flamethrowers, the quote underneath says "Hellbringers".Here is the link.112 00:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

flamethrowers, not hellbringers[edit]

guys, we should all (not just me) know by now that they're flamethrowers, not "hellbringers"!!! even if you guys just found out, you should already have changed the name of the page! this is a really serious error! i'd do it myself if i knew how! Mike-117 01:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

The so called "flamethrowers" are in fact referred to as Hellbringers on numerous occasions. The Halo Wars official site mentions it in a few picture captions and its also referenced in the actual game manual. Also, they're called Hellbringers in the "making of" vid docs. Strangely, they're called Flamethrowers in the strategy guide, which would seem the most likely place to reference the true name. Otherwise, the word "flamethrower" generally refers to the weapon itself, not the person carrying it. --Nerfherder1428 03:07, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Relation to Spartan-III[edit]

I noticed that we have a close-up image of the in-game unit, and I saw something quite intriguing. Ignore the obvious conclusion from the title - I'm not saying that Hellbringers are actually Alpha Company before they die. I'm saying that the helmet and armour look disconcertingly like SPI.

We know that technologies developed for MJOLNIR were adopted elsewhere within the UNSCDF - the Ceramic-Titanium Composites of ODST helmets, for example, not to mention elements of Recon. We also know that the SPI suits were made on a tight budget. Could there be a relation between the suits that the Hellbringers use and the SPI armour? -- Administrator Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek Honour Light Your Way! 09:28, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
