: Except they aren't really SPARTANs, at least most of them. Most of them are
: just ODSTs - it was okay for them to die in Halo 3, so why shouldn't it be
: okay in 4? Although I see your point, I never like SPARTANs killed off (at
: least IIs, used to like IIIs but not so much now... hmm). But they would
: just come back next mission or something.

: If they pose as a replacement for marines or ODSTs then I would want them to
: be able to die obviously, unlike Noble Team - you can't literally have
: SPARTAN immortal allies can you...

: If they however are outlined characters like noble team, buck team, johnson,
: arbiter, then yeah, I don't want any of those to die :P

Yet again, balance is the answer. Named Spartan IVs will only die in scripted sequences, and "grunt" S IVs will be mortal in-game. Everything we've seen so far about the S IV program suggests that their numbers are going to be significantly greater than previous generations (maybe on par with the S IIIs), but given the volunteer nature of the program and the fact that it uses adults, they can't possibly be as effective either in training or augmentation as the previous classes, so "very effective ODSTs" seems like a good description.
