: I remember from the books (FoR?) that the Spartans wore the same armor but
: could recognize each other and that they had little gestures to indicate
: emotions to each other. Specifically they could smile by holding a hand to
: their face and using the extended thumb and forefinger to create, in
: essence, a smiley.

: I imagine it would be a big deal for the Chief to find out that Blue team
: still lives and to hang out again with his friends. He thouht that they
: were dead (right?) and he had to do so much alone (well, with Cortana).

: He handled it fine but I'd like to see somewhere in the game, where it is
: appropriate... that one of Blue team smiles at the Chief and he smiles
: back.

: It's a little thing but I'd like to see it. To see a moment where he is happy
: and connected to another person.

The "Spartan smile" should definitely be in H5. It would be a huge wasted opportunity not to include it. Would love to see the S-IIs use their other little gestures too since they were such a big part of their interactions in the Nylund novels.
