Wiki Dave and James-005 are joined by RC member Commander Ash Keyes to discuss the recent Halo: Flashpoint news and attempt to rank every current spartan model from 1 - 5....there is no .5 option in this ranking system so don't get too excited

Links

Halo News - https://www.manticgames.com/news/halo/

Halo Flashpoint App - https://haloflashpoint.manticgames.com/the-app/

Rating system:

5/5: Outstanding model you’ll frequently see duplicated in lists

4/5: Very strong choice, frequently makes a list

3/5: Average model, not outstanding but playable, or a decent model you’re able to build your list around.

2/5 Making your life a bit more difficult by taking this one.

1/5 Trash - actively making your list worse.
