Absolutely possible. Under the Spartan-2 DNA file was a folder for S-3, these would be the new Spartan threes that CPO Mendoza went of to train. Probably the characters in the screenshots of the ODST armour.

ok a new theorie what if the doc is going to get the new spartan3's. they are on a secret mission. Because the spartan2's are send on a sueside mision to take over an convie ship. but during that time the spartan 3 groep was bussy with an other mission (Don't know what tough.) But now earth is treathend and she thinks we need the others to save it.

OKay, first of all Bungie has officialy said that the MC will have Mark 6 Mjolnir. WHen and how in the game he gets it is anybodies guess.

I'm pretty sure that in FoR when the Spartan's graduate, Mendez goes speciffically to a distant planet to train the next batch of S3's. Now if you all have read the sound and well discussed theories of mine then you know Ackerson is probably involved with these S3's. So lets speculate;

Ackerson has been taking over the S3's and is turning them into his killing machines and probably doing so at a high cost of human life and very unmorally. So Dr. Halsey goes to put an end to the military experiments with Kelly as back-up, and liberates the S3's so that indeed they can come join in the fight against the covie bastards and stop whatever secret/deadly/ useless(?) missions ackerson has them doing. I Remember Dr, Halsey being unhappy about the way ONI had been treating her, its a scene in a book where she's looking at newspaper clippings(?) about her Spartans when they were first released to the public -I'll try and find exact quotes. Anyways it seems that Halsey invented the Spartan program, essentially found a risky way to turn man into half man/machine. This burns at her conscience. She finds out that ONI and Ackerson (Grrrr...) have been using her research to make abonimations or at the least other regular spartans (but we all know the survival rate of the ugrading procedures). So, Halsey is off to set things right and to bring and end to the ongoing experimentary on human beings (this is also the same philosophical dilemma The Chief is face with the Sargent Johnson/Flood info).

oh and i think that if there are 5 original Spartan's left (the chief included) and the mysterious three who were not at Reach, then this would mean 8. and the number 8 is a perfect number for team play and perhaps even Co-op play (Bungie did mention the levels in H2 are gonna be HUGE).

dr. halsey has been making improvements for the armor, remember in first strike when she gives those spartans upgrades on their armor?

ackersons has taken over the s3's and turn them into killing machines? they're already killing machines, halseys feels she needs to "redeem herself" (that could be a number of things) i dont know y ackersone would need s3's anyways.

the MC brings those engineers back to earth so they're definently gonna be involved in something since they dont care who they help as long as they get to fix things which could mean that some parts of the covenant dont really respect them.

im not sure exactly how the flood made it back to earth if installation 04 was destroyed, but since bungie already confirmed the flood will be in halo 2 then theyre most likely on another halo also (dont know y the forunners would need the flood on 2 halos)

8 will definently not be co-op play because that would be the easiest thing in the worlld and the cant just put more covenant in depending on the number of players playing.

They will release another book around christmas time. The next book will talk about the events of Halo 2 like The Flood did. As to the Spartans training, the 3 that were away have been listed as MIA, because you have yet to hear about them. And Chiron is were the spartans trained for 0 gee. And the engineers mos tlikly will play a VERY importnt part in Halo 2 because there are some left on-board the Gettysburg.

possibly, since it seems like kelly and dr. halsey went to see them


yep yep sure seems like it
i think this is what bungie is referring to as the "new" characters


Maybe Master Cheif in Halo 2 will need to train them in Halo 2 by taking them into battle and making sure they are good.

The Forerunners built the system of Halo's to contain the Flood. They have more than one ring so they could wipe out the Flood's food in a wider radius.

My Stats

Guys thanx for the props. I just like to consider myself a big fan of Halo an above average player of it and just someone who likes to read and try to remember details.

As for mithrandir1, i have to agree that 8 player co-op would probably be too easy but can't we atleast dream of a massive co-op levels? And another thing you talk like you know it's fact that A) Engineers are brought to earth, B) the Flood make it to earth (they do appear in Halo 2 and I think it's safe to say that they're will be another Halo ring -the game is called Halo 2 after all- and we will probably learn more about the relationship between The Flood and the rings).

Now ackerson would want to control the spartan program for reasons i stated earlier in this thread, mainly they were his main competition within the military's projects. Also he appears to be Dr.Halsey's antogonist (plot-wise).
None of the stuff i come up with is concrete fact layed down by Bungie (not by a long shot!)so I am careful not to make it look like the assumed facts of this detailed story are indeed factual facts. Just try to stick to what we definitely do know from the game and the books and Bungie interviews and official posts.

Man, can you imagine a super-hard mission where you can play an 8 player co-op? That would be so awesome!

Yeah i was thinking like at the end of the game when the last of the Spartan's are finally reunited you get one level that's built for an 8player co-op. Probably like a big seige or something. Man i could play that all day.

Xbox Live -MultiPlaya will accomplish pretty much the same thing but the fact-of-the-matter is this game will astound us through it's gameplay and it's story. Tasty.
