Is this copying too much of Halo for just an essay?

I'm writing a short story as a new spartan...

Spartan IVs with Mark VI armor w/ active camo, (limited, a bit too limited) faster shield regenerator, clearer visor, durable armor, random upgrades, armor is green with the ability to blend good enough into sorroundings....

Previous Navy ranks like Master Chief is changed into marine ranks. (Start out as a Private First Class, yay or nay?

16 year old orphan chosen by the UNSC to be in the new Spartan program.

Year: 2570

UNSC planet REACH II brought over by a Pelican

Start off combat after training with a crash landing onto a random planet (name undecided) that bits from Truth's army remains and mercenaries, payed by Brute leaders, attack and end off fighting a scarab.


Same names borrowed.

Is this plagarism?

wtf

Is this a sequel to the Halo series, or what? The Covenant Army kinda doesn't exist in 2570. Prophets are gone, Elites have formed an alliance and went to their homeworld, and who knows what happened to the rest. Truth kinda dies in Halo 3, so the  Brutes would have no reason to fight, either, unless they believed in the Great Journey still.

The MJOLNIR project is under ONI Section 3, which is the Office of Naval Intelligence.  All Spartan graduates are NCOs, also.

Speaking of MJOLNIR, that's long and past. It'd make more sense for it to be under the Spartan-III project. In which case this new Spartan would be equipped with low-budget SPI armor rather than expensive MJOLNIR armor.

Also, the Spartan-IIs were conscripted (ie: kidnapped) children that fit Professor Halsey's strict genetic specifications. It just so happens that Spartan 117 was the first selected. Spartan-IIIs were orphaned children that were given the choice to join.

Prophets died, but the Brutes got rich off of them and still hate the humans, and they started there own army with mercenary jackals, drones, grunts, and hunters. All but grunts are mercenaries I believe.

So a Naval Rank is a must? For marines ;_; ah ok.

Yeah, I should make cheaper, downgraded armor... but technology advanced. Think of it as a golden age, that generation past Halo 3.

Kidnapped orphans sounds more better :D

The whole Hunters siding with the Brutes never really made sense to me.
The thing is, emphasis was placed on the Hunters being FIERCLY loyal to two things: The Elites, the ones who tamed them, and their Blood Brothers, which is why you never see them alone.

Yes, it is. Only one Spartan has ever made it out of Naval rank, and that was Spartan-051 Kurt, under very special circumstances. On a mission in space, an Oni operative intentionally sabotaged his jump pack, and was silently 'killed' to go on a top secret mission: To become Lt. Cmdr. Kurt Ambrose, and train the Spartan-IIIs.
