Its been a while since i read First Strike, and im probably gonna reread it, but I have a question:

Ok, at the end of the 3rd Halo book, First Strike, i know that at least one other Spartan, other than John (MC) survives. Where are they in Halo 2? Are they recovering or what? Will they make an appearance?

I think its probably a fair bet to say you'll see other spartans. However, its probably more probable that you'll hear about them or see them in cutscenes than actually play side by side with them. Think Marathon: there were 10 cyborgs present on the UESC Marathon. 9 participated in the fight against the Phfor on the colony Tau Ceti (planetside) while you fight by your lonesome up on the ship itself. (its rumored and generally accepted you were the tenth cyborg). I guess think of it as divide and conquer. Maybe the other Spartans will cover for you on earth while you go and stick it to the covenant homeworld?

Linda, Fred (i think), kelly is taken away by Halsey, and one other person, cause when they attack the unyeilding hierophant (i think i actually spelt that right!) a girl dies, Linda is sniping, and there is the MC, fred, and another guy.

Yeah just read the final chapter again. I think we will definitly be seeing them during the game because of MC's feelings towards his fellow Spartans. He probably doesnt want to be seperated from them again.

Surviving Spartans

John (MC)
Fred (2nd command)
Will (Explosives)
Kelly (Fastest)
Linda (Best Sniper)
James*
3 additional spartans were too far away to return to REACH when it fell

* - While James was 'lost in space', technically he could have been picked up by a UNSC vessel that survived the fall of Reach.

So we could see up to 9 Spartans from the original Spartan II project make an appearance in Halo 2.

Cheers,

Let's not forget Mendez, he went off to train another "army" *hint hint*. This army might be the key to saving Earth, this army might be filled with Spartn-III's, as you remember Dr. Halsey looking into those files on Reach while it was being glassed and invaded by the Covenant.

anyway miranda wasnt his girlfriend, if you listen correctly, he says that someone was going through a difficult breakup at the time, which led to that part in the story

I believe Will is dead along with James, although I haven't read the book in a while.

Will is definitely alive. The Spartans currently with the Master Chief are Fred, Linda and Will. Kelly is alive, but somewhere unknown with Dr. Halsey. There is no way in hell that James is still alive. I don't know if the other Spartans will play a role in Halo 2. It sounds like there is just as good of a chance if they didn't. I would like to see the other Spartans in Halo 2. I'm tired of working around fragile marines.

Right, for the obvious record, the definite alive Spartans are John (obviously), Fred, Will, Linda, and Kelly. Grace died during the mission onto the Unyielding Heirophant. Li and Anton died previously in 3rd Strike while making repairs during that super slipstream bit. Kelly was taken by Dr. Halsey lord only knows where. Addtionally, James MAY be alive, though it seems a bit of a stretch. Also there may be 3 others still existing elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind seeind a new batch of Spartan-3s coming to kick some arse.

I dunno. Space is pretty powerful. And big. And cold. A match for a Spartan.

many Spartan's have died very easily.. i think 5 died as they were being dropped on to Reach, because the pelican got hit with something and they had to free-fall to Reach. and there you go. 5 dead Spartans.

what's this Unyielding Hieoweoihaowhe everyone's talking about? i don't remember reading that part..

The Unyielding Hierophant is a giant port that the Covies had 500 ships parked at to go to Earth and destroy it. So they blew the whole thing up and almost every one of the ships went with it in a grand display of fireworks!

*sob, I love a happy ending*

I think the surviving SPARTAN's are John, Will, Fred, Linda, and Kelly, but Dr. Halsey took Kelly away for some secret mission, but it doesnt say where in the book, maybe you find out in game)
