mendez was most likely killed and why in the name of -blam!- would they train them anywhere other than reach??? dont call me retarded

"Retard! Retard! Retard! Retard!" To quote Sheila from Red Vs. Blue. They weren't going to be trained at Reach because the covenant already know about it. They didn't want to risk human kind's new best chance getting destroyed before they had enough experience to fight like the Spartan 2s.

Perhaps its already been touched on, but in Halo 2, MC has Mark IV armor, and I believe that he had only Mark II armor in the original, doesn't that lead one to believer that there have been versions between that? Sooo... if MC has been on Halo the whole time they must have had another Spartan to test those versions on. I haven't read the Flood or First Strike yet, so I might just be talking out of my a$$, that's just my take in the matter...

I think that xboxlive will have co-op, but it would be a 8 member squad of spartans, sent in on super hard mission, where they can go seperate directions and do plans and stuff....I can only dream

In halo the MC had Mark V armor.

absolutely not, dr. halsey never had time to start training another group because it said it took several years to decide which kids should be most useful. if what i said is wrong then they were killed at reach.

they would suck anyways cus they have no experience


She could have as easly been searching for candidates for the next "batch"...and note that master chief first encountered, and successfully destroyed a Covenant ship when he was 14 years old, how much experience do they need?

The "new spartans" were probably sent on a risky mission to fight the covenant or find their homeworld-- they would continue MC's mission while he was fighting the covies ( a distraction?)

Oooohh maybe Big G. Or they discover something and need our help so we come in as the back up.
Or the obvious; right after the kick-ass cutscene where Cortana says "bet you can't stick it." just as the Chief is gonna face off with a dozen Elites with pSwords and all around him New Mombasa is being infested with Sqid-heads, -the New Spartans follow in there own Drop Shock (Helljumpers) pods and the town is a blissful war of cool young Spartans and Fierce plasma weilding Elites.....oooh.

Hey retard, Sheila is the tank AI from Red Vs Blue. Also Sheila was saying that to Tucker when he couldn't figure out the controls. Another thing, Red Vs. Blue has nothing to do with Reach getting attacked, it's a series on the web that uses Halo multi-player on Blood Gulch to make a comedy.

It isn't TV you dumba$$, It is on the internet and they've made the whole series into a DVD plus all the side stuff too, I would know I've seen all the episodes and I'm getting the DVD (already ordered it). And when the hell did I say the Red VS. Blue people work for bungie? And actually I have an IQ of 150 so don't say anything about my intelegence. Why the hell on Earth would Sheila be retarted? She's an AI dumba$$, as in Artificial Intelegence, so why the hell would they make a retarted AI? You're so fuking stupid that you can't tell ur right from ur left! Is it just me or does anyone else think that this guy has no fuking brain?

I hope someone can answer this, you all may have already thought of it (hey ten pages of posts is a lot to read even for a teenager on summer vaction, i still have to chase girls even at the expense of halo), when the spartans are briefed about their mission to take over a ship and find the covie homeworld. It mentions three spartans (memory may be off) who are on other missions. Other missions implies the three are doing things unreleated to each other. What happened to these three spartans, did they join the others, did they die, or are they somewhere else. i can't remember anyone wanna help me out?

r u retarded? u said the spartans 3s weren't being trained at reach because the covenant already knew about it????? HELLO GO READ THE DAMN BOOKS

they started training the spartans 3s 30 years before the covenant attacked reach, u think it would've taken them that long? the covenant dont even know what spartans r retard

the onlly reason the covenat found reach because they put a tracking signal on the iroquis (WHICH NO ONE KNEW ABOUT) after the battle of sigma octamus.

how do u think the humans knew that the covenant knew about reach huh retard???????

A...I....What's the A stand for again? "Let's move on" j/k (A Red Vs. Blue reference)

Enough of your bickering guys, get back to the subject matter, eh? As for Spartan-III's and other stuff. I like the idea of the new batch of Spartans coming in to save Master Chief, but I actually think at the end of the demo, where Cortana says "Bet you can't stick it" - Linda comes in and snipes everyone in the head!...That's just what she does. Anyway, it's pretty definite, unless Bungie does in fact somehow manage to kill them off, that there are 3 other spartans aside John (Master Chief), that are on Earth. As for the Spartan 3's, it seems likely that Kelly and Dr. Halsey went to go get them, but who knows? Also, additionally, on to the matter of the Flood/A new Halo ring. I believe it's been confirmed that another Halo ring will be present in Halo 2, like Doom said, it IS called Halo for a reason. As for the Flood, I didn't know they were definitely confirmed, though it would make sense. Who knows.

A good point actually - No one knows. They point them out but never actually say what happens, as far as anyone knows, they're off somewhere doing God only knows what. IT seems likely though that they could be with the Spartan 3 project, as the other Spartans were not told of their exact whereabouts (WHY wouldn't they tell MASTER CHIEF, the LEADER of the Spartans where his own soldiers were unless it was a highly secretive MISSION?)

Spartan 004 once again you are a sound voice of reason amongst all of the stupid stuff out there and bickering usually, i might add, due to Mithrandir calling people retarded over and over again.

However the Spartans (the Chiefs graduating class) disbanded as a whole team early on. A book mentions how it had been like 20 some odd years that the Chief had seen some of his fellow spartans (or maybe it was like 20 years that there was so many together at one time). Anyway i think the point was that the Chief didn't stay in contact with many of his class and that other Spartans were under other commands on other missions (not that the Chief dosen't outrank all the other Spartans). But as for the MIA three, lets hope we see them again as well as all of the surviving Spartans, If there was one thing you could say about the game Halo was that it made you feel like you were alone against and entire evil force. It'd be nice to not feel so alone.

There's no such thing as "too far to recall." It's outerspace, everything is far. I know he says so in the book, and I agree with that, though that's probably his way of saying that they can't tell where they are due to mitigating circumstances.

Slipspace knowledge wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with knowing where they were. Even if they were far away, they can get back, and communicate back, as can be seen that even though Cortana and the Pillar of Autumn got "lost" not knowing where they were, when they found Halo, they still got back okay, in one piece. You can still backtrack where you came from, that's what navigators are for.
