How long do (HALO) Spartans live for? Is it any different seeing as how they're physically altered?

well i dont remember anything about that being said in the books (which every halo fan should read), so unless anyone knows some science and can look at the materials injected into the spartans and tell us, i'd say they would live to be as old as humans in the 25 century can be. i mean, they're in top physical condition (the ones that didnt get messed up in the augmentation process) and medical tech in the future will probably increase the life span of everyone in general. i'd hazard a guess at 150 years, whereas the average human in the 25th century might make it to 130-140.

Well, in the Halo-verse, no Spartan has reached old age. Most of them tend to die.

Assuming that they live their bodies are in excellent shape, so I'd imagine pretty long. The flip side is that their bodies have been fucked with with experimental doodads, so they could have twelve different bullet proof tumors in their bodies for all we know.

If your a nameless spartan?

Your life span is one plot point.

If you Master Chief...well...who knows.
If they were smart to add in regeneration of cells, you could get the Wolverine hundreds of years old thing going...

Master Chief is meant to be over 50 odd canonically(?) but all the slip space, deep sleep , cryogenic mumbo jumbo means he's got the body of a sprightly 30 year old. I'd assume they have the same natural span as a human, but are built to physically withstand much more. Plus they're near enough War Machines, so I don't think the UNSC really planned them to live to retirement age.

Yeah hate to run into a retired Spartan as a greeter at Walmart...

Would cut down on shoplifting and mouthy trash at 2am...

SPARTAN-IIs are physically much younger than they are legally. This is because they often spend months in cryosleep, not aging, which adds up after over 30 years. Most SPARTAN-IIs are dead by the Battle of Installation 04, however a few are alive. None have died of old age yet, although one has retired (how she was able to do so is currently unknown). SPARTAN-IIIs have an extremely short life span, as they are sent en mass on suicide missions. The longest living IIIs are Noble Team, as they are a special group of IIIs formed by Kurt Ambrose, one of the trainers of the IIIs (and a SPARTAN-II himself). SPARTAN-Is mostly were dead by 2552, with the only known one that was for certain still alive by 2552 being Sargent Avery Junior Johnson, who was killed by 343 Guilty Spark soon before his death at the hands of John-117. As far as it is known, the augmentations of the SPARTAN-Is, IIs and IIIs has no effect on aging, but IIs have no sex drive.
1st he ment without cryo sleep in my opinon i dont think it counts to your age if you are in cryo
also 2nd there was only miminal chance of having a low sex drive and 3rd currently the longest lived 3s are with Kathrine Halsey and the ramaning spartan 2s in a paralel universe just out of the edge of our own i think in the coordinates of planet onyx which ironically is where the spartan 3s were trained
