::::::I'm tired of them killing off Spartans, full-stop. I understand the rationale - build up how great X is, introduce Y who is able to kill X to increase their threat. But what it actually does is reduce the profile of X instead, and that is something I don't like for the S-IIs.  I feel like 343i realised they had an unruly amount of living Spartan-IIs for the Master Chief to be "one of the last", and by killing them or sending them into space that increases the profile for the Chief, which was the same rationale for originally making him ''the'' last. I could tolerate them being S-IIIs - heck, even Saber, who I actually grew attached to. I was hoping Tom and Lucy could lead their little trio to be capable Spartans in the post-war era. So much for that. And especially the S-IVs, who have shown potential but little proficiency. But the IIs...every one of them is supposed to be the stuff of myth and legend. When one goes down, it has to be like Sam or Will - taking a disproportionate number with them. Or James and Beta Red - leaving ambiguity. You know they're dead, but the potential for ''hope'' remains.

::::::I don't mind Catalog confirming things like concepts or places, but some of the things that it is confirming really should be told as stories. If you're going to kill of Byrne, make it a story - show, don't tell. If you're killing Saber, show us how it happened, don't just say it did. They feel like wasted opportunities to me.-- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue>^{The Autocrat}</font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple>^{of Morheka}</font></i></u>]] 21:02, 26 July 2014 (EDT)
