We all know that Spartans are geneticly altered super humans that have been given special training and equipment in order to fight off the Covenent and give humanity it's last hope against extinction as a species. But what makes a Spartan a Spartan? Is it the call of duty? The armour? The threat of the Covenent invasion? The deep voice? What is it? Reply with anything from stupid little remarks like the one's above to drasticly complicated reasons, to moving poetic mottos. You decide!
Well, most SPARTANS are born SPARTANS, so you could say that the SPARTAN blood is in their SPARTAN veins the moment they are conceived. The second their little SPARTAN heads poke out of their mothers SPARTAN vaginas, their sole purpose as full fledged SPARTANS is to kick Covey ass. SPARTANS do it for themselves, SPARTANS do it for fellow SPARTANS, and most importantly SPARTANS do it for humanity. SPARTAN. TheorEDIT: This is gold.
Everyone probably knows what makes a SPARTAN a SPARTAN, but SPARTENS are a new species and they are not very well known. So not many people know what makes a SPARTEN a SPARTEN.
And I failed at spelling one letter three times in a row, but thanks to all of your repetative caping and bolding I saw the error of my typing. You may edit your reply now. (this is an actual legit thank you so don't take it in a bad way =])
im sorry if someone already said this but im almost 100% certain the spartan is named a spartan because of the previous game Bungie made a long time ago, it was called Marathon. if you are not familiar with the ancient greek battles, marathon is a big field above Athens, and at one point the Persians and the Athenians fought, since the Athenians tried to free a captured Greek city state (i forgot which one) but though the Athenians were completely out numbered they still won with minimal help from any of the other greek city states, the spartans actually didnt help because of a festival. so i suppose Bungie thought it would be kind of a, whats the word, easter egg? to call the super humans in their proceeding game Spartans.
Okay, I see where people are going with this... You all think I'm actually asking a question right? Wrong! (grr) I just wanted to see if anyone could be funny and give some smart ass response that would make us laugh and enjoy our internet. BUT NOOOOOOO. You all actualy awnsered and made me look like I didn't know what a Spartan was. Well I do. But if anyone else actualy reads this before the thread dies and they have a chance to reply then do so with great humor, please.
