Birth Of A Spartan, The Extended Cut

it's just steroids he was injected with

Basically how it happens, but not how I pictured it.

The Spartan-III's generally used crappier equipment because they were designed for quick, tactical suicide missions.  The Noble squad that you play as in this game are the best of the S-III's who were able to survive the missions they were supposed to be killed on, thus they've been given better equipment on par with the Spartan-II's. "

So everyone in the multiplayer is also part of Noble? Like if you're going to justify some of the canon-defying stuff, at least do a better job at it Bungie for christ sakes. "

Those floors have to be cold give them some socks or shoes man.

ITS FOREST GUMP!

Dude, HAL is in this video!

Needs more needles going into skull.

That was stupid. 
I was expecting something more invasive with that procedure.
Also a serious lack of cybernetic implants. 
Also they're supposed to be like.. Trained from childhood 7 foot tall genetically modified monstrosities.

So Halo Reach stars Tom Hanks...?

I thought he looks a lot like Timothy Olyphont form the Hitman film. 
 
OT: Yet again another awesome live action trailer.

Is that a young J Allard?

GOD DAMN i thought this was going to be about God of War.

Aw god, those needles...Gross.

he didnt look any different really. this is dumb. steroids he took sucked lol. 

Is there a particular reason he needs to be awake during the scary needles process?

So that's how you make cannon fodder. Impressive.

The extended cut is much more interesting.  I enjoyed it.  The teaser seemed awkward and out of context (which now makes sense).

Beautiful music! I've always loved the music for Halo games :D

" @OrgunUK: A lot of people made the mistake in the last video as well. This is not the making of a SPARTAN II, which involved a lot of messing around with their bones, more medications and juice, and generally a lot more pain. This is the making of a SPARTAN III. They where easier to make, cheaper, but not as good as the II's. But since they where cheaper, and the added fact that they didn't need genetically perfect specimens, they could more or less just pump them out and use them on dangerous and difficult missions.

This is pretty lame. "Spartans are born". Yeah whatever, you take a regular soldier and inject him with some fluids. Done and done.

Still totally blue Aryan nazi eyes.

Halo's ad-campaigns have always been excellent. I love these live action bits.

America's way of telling people that steroids are 'ok'

Surprisingly tame medical procedure in the video compared to what i've read about it (but then it is a TV ad), although that could just have been Phase 1 and he got up during the procedure to have a look at his future armor, it doesn't necessarily mean he was about to put it on. ...Man and i dont even like Halo :)

Wait...so a spartan is just a juiced up soldier? ...k...

wow this makes no fucking sense

A surprisingly quality, arty trailer for such a brainless game. I must say, I enjoy Halo's storyline five hundred times more than much of the game itself.

anyone else think this dude looks a little scrawny to be a super soldier?

Not better than the edited 1 minute version... weird.

Is becoming a spartan really that easy?
 
I liked the ODST trailer better.

Interesting trend is interesting. I could think of some good games that could have awesome live trailers.

Whatever you do..... DON'T BLINK! 

I've got to say. That trailer is pretty fucking awesome.

I'm liking these live action trailers they're putting out these days. This one was nice... I liked Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's a lot better.

halo games have such awesome music.

God Dam it!
Someone make a cool Halo Movie already!!!!
