My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats
Doom Sticks here (secret agent noob to you all...hehe) just a quick recap on some facts of the known events that might involve New Spartans:
1) CPO mendez leaves the spartan 2 project to specifically go train the new class of Spartans 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. When the Chief and the gang graduate he's age 16 or something and he's like 40 by the time the events in Halo take place. This "new class" of Spartans is never mentioned through out the books although they would be of age for combat ops.by the time Halo happens.
2) Just before leaving Reach Dr. Halsey snoops on Ackerson's computer-files and finds a foldernamed S III. Within this folder there are two files CPOMZ, and King under the Mountain (that has DNA records of all the members of the Spartan2 project) AND somewhere in there is also some astral coordinates (a long string of numbers).
3) Ackerson definitely has something going on and it's quite clear that the Spartans and Dr.Halsey were his direct competition within the Military Industrial Complex of the 26th century. In a scene in one of the books Ackerson displays some sort of leverage over a superior ranking officer (admiral Hood I think) that's so obvious that an ONI Lieutenant notices it. Chapter 11 in FS is practically all about this so i would assume that it's a major plot factor.
4) I think the emblems on the Mjolnir armor in Halo 2 might extend beyond Multi-player and they could be a mark of different Spartan 3 squads.... also FLASH cloning isn't successfull but i think clones can be made if done....uh....naturally. The general ignorant theory is that Ackerson cloned some of the Saprtan 2's maybe even the Chief.
5) Admitedly i have no idea how this relates to there being more spartans in Halo 2 but Chapter 30 from The Fall of Reach smells very fishy and so therefore, like Ackerson. It also takes place almost exactly a day before Reach is invaded. I know the Iroquios had a Covie tracking device on it and that's supposedly how Reach was found by the Covenant but Chapter 30, especially how it's placed within the last moments of Reach, is just too conspicuous.
There's no reason why a new class of Spartans wouldn't be classified as Spartan 3's. Granted the book never mentions Spartan 3's. Now if the Chief's team are the Spartan 2's (he has a roster of his team at the end of FS) then wouldn't the next batch of super human soldiers be named Spartan 3's. Then, hey, the next calss after that could be named Spartan 4's.
Neophoebus writes,
Just as a thought, Sargent Banks in the Halo 2 2003 E3 demo says when you arrive " I didnt think they'd send a SPARTAN". This could be because according to the books ONI section 2 (public relations) went public with the SPARTAN 2 project in 2549, so it is likely that almost everbody knows about them. But it sets in stone there are more SPARTANS out there.
And yet still more discussion on Spartan (Number)'s....
It could still be open to debate, that is -i don't think- it's ever spelled out in the books that the reasoning behind naming the Chief's class "Spartan 2"s was that the original Spartans were in ancient greece (and they kicked ass!). Now that i think about it there could very well have been a class of Spartan 1's (did they fail to pass the augmentation procedures? was this do to a lack of science that was partially solved by Dr. Halsey and so she then got the task of making Spartan 2's????) All Dr. Halsey says in the beginning of FoR is "As per Naval Code 45812,you are hereby conscripted into the UNSC special project code named -SPARTAN II."
I'm considering this. it would sorta make sense cause we have Space shuttles today named after old sailing ships and there names aren't "The Endeavour II". Ususally when a something classic is used for the first time in a modern way -the name is adopted as is. But maybe this changes in the future and they respect the ancient context of the Spartans and therefore name their first class Spartan II's.
Uhhh... i dunno what else? Halsey leaves with Kelly with a couple guns on a Chiroptera class vessel with slipspace drive capabilities, after feeling really bad about what she'd done to the spartans she is seeking to make sure now one suffers (again Great regeneration Theory Spartan004).
