Originally the name we heard of the Spartan Ops squad was called “Majestic.” Then in the Halo 4 trailer from E3 we heard the name Crimson. Are they the same? Did Crimson replace Majestic as the name?

No. In fact they are two separate squads. Want proof? David Ellis of 343 tweeted as such:

So this leads to wonder if YOU will get to choose the name of your squad from a pallete of names, when starting a Spartan Ops mission.

If so, this could lead to healthy competition between squad of different names, as well as squads compared with same named squads.

Hmm, I’ll search to find out more.
