SPARTAN Group Omega

Spartan Group Omega appears in the trailer for Halo Wars. They're wearing what appears to be Mark IV MJOLNIR armor, although if you look carefully you can see the articulation points are lit up, and the armor looks less rounded than the normal Mark IV.They also appear to be armed with BR55 Battle Rifles or a similar variant.The barrel of the Battle Rifle is also slight ly extended, and a little more blocky-looking. The identities of the team are unknown, although given the voice of what appears to be their squad leader, Master Chief does not seem to be among them.

The name "Spartan Group Omega" is strange as the Spartan IIs often colour code their squads (eg Red Team, Blue Team, and, albeit, there is only five of them noted to be visible in the snapshot, meaning they couldnt be a whole company. Bungie was probably looking for a way to incorporate the spartans into their new game, so the "Spartan Group Omega" probably has little or no revelance to the actual spartan story and plot, unless the Spartan Group Omega is a squad of the Spartan III Program, which is highly doubtable, because the entirety of the Spartan III's use squads, not groups, unless Bungie decided that they would make this a fluke, like the Spartan Nicole in DEAD OR ALIVE IV
