Talk:Carter-A259

Rank
I was wondering about Carter's rank, whether it is confirmed by the new Game Informer magazine source? Or whether its been added to his article from Kat's call "Commander" to him, in the cinematic Reach trailer? And also which division of the UNSC it belongs to? Because as far as I'm aware, Commander is a Navy exclusive rank. It just seems really weird to the point that I'm doubting Carter as a Commander, because it would make him, a Spartan-III, on par with Miranda Keyes, and above any of the Spartan-IIs, which feels wrong on many levels. Maybe I've misunderstood his rank, so I'm just very confused, or surprised if what I said is true. - TheLostJedi  02:07, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, GI comfirm's his rank as Commander.SPARTAN-177 02:15, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's a shame. It doesn't feel right that he should out rank John, Fred or Kurt (who is likely to have trained him). Especially considering the less time he would have spent fighting, being just a Spartan-III. Perhaps they have some high reward scheme in the Spartan-III Program. - TheLostJedi  13:25, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

SPARTAN II Class 2
Carter would actually fit more as a SPARTAN II Class 2 Spartan than a SPARTAN III Alpha Company Spartan. He's just way too old. NuparuMahnika 13:06, February 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Class II came out in 2545, with its participants born in 2537. Why won't you guys admit that they are SPARTAN-IIIs when we have a confirmation? There are no Class IIs in 2531, confirms Kurt shortly before Alpha company is set up. Bungie retconned these few SPARTANs ages because a "four year old with a gun"-type backstory would not be acceptable for parents. You people also say that Jun is too old because he was born in 2524, despite Harvest refugees making up part of Alpha company.--  Fore  run  ner  16:51, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Odd . ..

 * It could just be the color of his armor, but to me the art renditions somewhat remind me of the helmet of COG gears from GoW1.

Age
I was just thinking that it is rather odd that Carter was 11 years old while all other trainees were 4-6 years old, and I think I have an explanation: While Carter's official age might be 11 or 12, his physical age might be much younger, as he might have spent some time in cryosleep. Lawl, but it's just speculative, maybe not even add in trivia lawl 81.225.224.216 12:54, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

SPARTAN III
The new Halo: Reach Birth of a Spartan short confirmed that Carter was a SPARTAN III at 0:36. It also shows he was part of Project CHRYSANTHEMUM, so that kills any speculation about which generation he belongs to. That possibly means that the others are SPARTAN-III's.XW3 AR3 L3GION 11:25, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh... It was confirmed ages ago that they're all S-IIIs. There's been no debate about that for months.--Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 13:22, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just making sure. Doesn't hurt to have a second confirmation. And all but one are S-III's - Jorge is an S-II. Supposedly.XW3 AR3 L3GION 16:21, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Picture
Somebody deleted the picture of Carter without his helmet and replaced it with him in his armor. It should be reverted because if if we're going to have the other unmasked Spartan-IIs and IIIs shown with their helmet off as their main image, then we should for Carter too.Tuckerscreator 18:37, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
