    The Headhunters were a top-secret group of SPARTAN-IIIs, "a secret, even to their peers." Their missions consisted of sabotage, assassination and other wetwork assignments too dangerous or sensitive for normal soldiers. Individuals completing the program were forced to survive two or more specially assigned training missions before being evaluated in the additional, grueling training regimen (seven months of supervised field exercises, followed by six months real-world wartime insertions). At the program's height there was a maximum contingent of six squads - six teams, with a total of seventeen soldiers rotating in to fill gaps whenever a SPARTAN was killed or wounded. Fireteams were comprised of two Headhunters, initially paired via exhaustive interviews and ONI profiling. Headhunters focuses on two such soldiers, Jonah and Roland. Their combat skills and teamwork were matched to 97.36 percent.
    Halo Evolutions are the motion comic adaptions to "Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe."
    343 Industries did a wonderful job with these adaptions of "Halo Evolutions," all credit goes to them. Enjoy!

    Ya know, something tells me ONI knew exactly what the Covies were up to, and sacrificed these two Headhunters just to fell the Silent Shadow causing trouble for them and their Spartans. "If ONI says it's hot, it's hot". That's a lot of non-info to give some of your most valuable assassins. I mean... think about it.
    The Silent Shadow is the most deadly and elite Covenant Assassin division in their entire force. They're trained in hunting down Spartans and eliminating them. They're some of the Covenant's deadliest infantry, their own version of Spartan-IIs, and they just wasted 6 of them to destroy two Spartan-IIIs in SPI armor, armed with just some suppressed weapons, some EMP grenades, flashbangs, and a shitload of detpacks. What did the Covenant lose setting this "trap"? Hundreds of geks in fake resources on a fake dig site, more than 20 trained Covenant troops, and six Silent Shadow Elites clad in the most advanced (and likely expensive) armor and armed with unique, likely highly advanced weaponry, with excellent Active Camouflage systems. All to kill two Spartans. And they didn't even get to return from the mission.
    Pyrrhic as it is, the UNSC, or, rather, ONI, absolutely came out on top in this tussle. Two Spartan-IIIs for the lives of 20+ Covies and Six Spartan-Killers. Is that not exactly what the Spartan-IIIs entire purpose is? Beautiful stuff.

      @rynzemrak1834 Před 4 lety +571

      A little late, but that isn't actually an EVA helmet. It is a different kind of armor, and not actually a variant of MJOLNIR. It is called Semi-Powered Infiltration (SPI) armor. Very few Spartan 3's (which is what headhunters are pulled from) actually had an opportunity to wear MJOLNIR armor because of how expensive it is. SPI armor was devised as a cheaper, less protective way to make infiltration armor (which is what all SPARTAN-IIIs were designed for) so that way waves of SPARTANs could accomplish their job, even if it cost their life.

      Same. I remember when they released Waypoint and it was also the only way to watch Halo Legends back then. I remember waiting in anticipation of the next Halo Evolutions episode. Favorite one was Mona Lisa, which was almost a full-on movie when you put all the parts together. I remember how long it took them to release all the parts.
      Kinda wish they did another one of these. We have Halo: Fractures, which is also a collection of stories. Hell I wish they just animate the books if they can't make them into games.

ONI most likely used the headhunters to draw them away from the front lines. Thus keeping them away from the UNSC. Don’t get me wrong if they blew up the placements and took them out, the. Great. The Spartan 3 were always disposable cheaper ways to put more in the field. The Spartan 2 through DR Halsey needed specific requirements like DNA markers to be on the program. Spartan 3 were essentially orphaned kids from the colonies.
