Someone at section 3/ military ( not Halseys level of classification) Ackerson? Who knows? I just brought it up for speculation. Besides this isnt about Spartans anymore (but extra discustion is good)

Heres an idea... there ARE spartan IIIs, they're just fighting each other... in blood gulch... on teams of Red Vs Blue...



Scrap that idea

I wouldnt doubt it (especially since bungie loves to recycle symbols)

See thats the sort of thing that is impossible to find out... because if it were... the forerunners would have had to have some prior connection to the covenant (which is not unheard of) but it might be the ones on the prophet's head thingy, cause they are the covenant... and the symbol was a type of covenant communication..

OH OH... new idea... Dr Hasely might have gone off to look for that "Class 12 battle armor", or whatever guilty spark called it, because it was 6 times more powerful than the mjolnir armor

It is possible after all it was stated in the book the flood that the prophets claim to fame was the forefunner inhabiting their planet

A few points:

To someone prior to this posting asking if the Prophets could be Forerunner, no it's been stated that the Prophets come from the same originating planet but were of a sub-class (such as in a caste system) to the Forerunner, that the forerunner were Gods to them. Now then on to other items.

S-III... Alright, I do think it has to deal with a new group of Spartans (Spartan-III?), though to further instigate; let's take another angle. S-III could mean SECTION-3. The section with all the covert and classified operations OF ONI. In which case of course this could entail still that it has to deal with the new Spartans, though it doesn't necessarily mean that the Spartan project is called Spartan-III now, it could still be Spartan-II. Anyway it's a moot point, but one to consider.

Secondly, on the possibility of a Spartan-I project, and as such, candidates. Someone here earlier said something of the possibility that Mendoza was a Spartan-I. That's something I theorized actually also and would like to touch base as a good idea. Also think; Mobuto? Yes, I agree marines and ODSTs aren't given enough credit, but even still, to make it as far into the Library as he did is an amazing ability that far superceeds anything I've heard any ODST or Marine do. Maybe Mobuto too was a Spartan-I?...Maybe 343 Guilty Spark isn't recognizing John-117 as a Reclaimer from outer looks, but a similar genetic code, such as the Spartan's are integrated with?... Thoughts please.

Additionally, on the Sgt. Banks matter and his quote "I didn't think they'd spend a Spartan." That doesn't necessarily mean anything, sadly, because all Spartans are registered as MIA, never KIA, in order to boost morale. ONI ordered this so that it gave hope to all, that Spartans could never die. Of course it's propoganda, but hey, it works, right?

Anyway, I want thoughts especially on Spartan-I.

1. Its Mendez, not Mendoza, Mendoza is a marine in Halo
2. Agreed about the Sgt. Banks thing
3. I think the statement that Mendez was going to train another bunch of spartans was just put there to explain his retirement from that group. I think it would ruin the story/game if there were younger, better spartans than John and his crew, just like it would ruin the game if we saw what John actually looked like when he took off his helmet

Right, yea my bad about screwing up the Mendoza/Mendez names. You're correct on that one. As for the Spartan-3s, they wouldn't necessarily be superior, just more in numbers, more for John to command possibly.

New school does not necessarily mean better than old skool (WWII generation vs. 70's)

I theorize that they just browse the forums of Halo uber-nerds (us) and just peruse what sounds best, and use that. Of course, not like I'd mind my ideas being used in a game, that'd be sick...How would we know too? All we'd do was scream "I Told You So" at anyone who thought differently.

*in a monotone voice* Of course additionally, I love the Bungie Gods and am at their beckon will if ever they need.
