in the fall of reach you know where the group of spartans were fighting off the covenant in the stronghold they could have defeted the covenant and since it was so far underground even after the covenant glassed the planet the could have survived cause after all they are spartans

One of my friends told me that he read in one of the halo books that there was another survivor. so probably yes. and it would be pretty cool!

In first strike (third book) the Master Chief finds a few surviving SPARTANs. They go off to Earth, but first destroy a covenant command ship. So yes, others did survive...

Actually there is a total of 5 Spartans left (not including the 3 that might not have been on Reach due to being on missions to far away). The Spartans alive are John (Master Chief), Will, Fred, Linda and Kelly (who went with Dr. Halsey on a secret mission). Master Chief found those Spartans still alive on Reach (there were others but they later died) after the destruction of Halo. If you want a more indepth version then read the book First Strike.

I think that there will have to be more SPARTANs in Halo 2. It would create more of a tactical experience in some of the levels. Also, I don't think Master Chief would come to fight on Earth unless there were more SPARTANS there, or else it would be a helpless battle. One more thing on that, remember in the first gameplay video how MC walks up to that commander guy and he says, "I know they were sending reinforcements, but I didn't think they'd send a SPARTAN!" Key words: a SPARTAN. I really do think there are more on Earth fighting, in fact, there are probably well over five available, Earth must have had a defensive system including SPARTANS no? The only problem wil be that the AI for the SPARTAN will have to be more complex than most of the other units in the game.

Looking at it in terms of the first game, I wouldn't expect other Spartan II's to play much of a role in Halo 2, but the books give me a different idea. The Spartan II's were trained to work as a team, so I would expect all surviving Spartan II's to be together, excluding Kelly due to Dr. Halsey's mission. Problem is that Halo 2 is a non-squad based FPS, so playing single player with three computer controlled Spartan II's would be out of the question considering how strong the individual Spartans II's are and the fact that the three other Spartan II's wouldn't be able to die because doing so would affect the story line. However I think it is interesting that First Strike leaves off with four Spartan II's that should be on earth with the master chief; that number agrees nicely with four player co-op.

So as far as the Halo storyline goes, the other Spartan II's have to make an appearance in Halo 2, but in order to make Halo 2 challenging there will have to be a lot of the Master Chief lone wolfing it even though the books wouldn't give that as an expected action; unless of course they think up some reason the other Spartan II's didn't return to earth with MC or that they had to go on some other mission. Anyhow, I think the other Spartan II's make a good explanation for campaign co-op as opposed to the first Halo, in which you and your buddy play as the same character, not that it really matters as far as gameplay is concerned.

Actually, when you think about it, a single SPARTAN could not be able to save the Earth.Why? He's only one person and the Earth is a very big place . So most likely, yes. The other Spartans could be alive and fighing on different parts of the planet.

I'm betting they will be in there based on what we saw in the books, I'm personally still wondering about what Dr. Halsey, and Kelly are going to do, I hope that loose end is tied up there, maybe you meet up with Kelly and the Dr. later in the game

There are 4 besides kelly. There is will, fred, linda, and the MC.
There could also be other spartans besides that group. Maybe the DR. took kelly to them. She did a file from Colonol Ackerson with the initials CPOMZ, which could mean Chief Petty Officer Mendez. She also found a star chart where he could have taken them. Just some speculation.

I still think that there will be seperate missions where you play as another spartan. Instead of all the spartans being together.

I thought linda was the sniper that was with John and she ended up getting shot and killed trying to open the hatch in the 1st book.

Ackerson was especially interested in flash cloneing aspect of the Spartan 2 program.He retrieved the bodies of the clones and performed autopsies on them. Ackerson might be trying to perfect the flash cloneing process. Dr halsey also saw a file that was labeled S-III, that would sugest a Spartan 3 program. The story also hints that Ackerson is involved in a project in the book.

There are surviving Spartans.

John-117
Linda-058
Fred-104
Will-043

and Kelly-087 who is missing in action....

Then there are the three that were not at Reach when it was hit because they were on fields of combat too distant to be easily recalled.

CPOMZ has to be Chief Mendez. In the story it would have mentioned mendez on reach with new spartans. But he is on another planet maybe the covanent do not know about.

No there doesn't.

Mendez may have lied to the Chief as a way of saying goodbye a bit more easily or some other stupid reason. Also SIII could satnd for Section III, which is ONI. Also CPOMZ may not be Chief Petty Officer Mendez. It could be something much different. Chief Petty Officer M--------Z--------- for all we know.
