It's a myth and a theory.. I, in fact, just believe they're just like Spartan IIs just the 'second batch'.

Some believe this is Colenol Ackerson's new thing... but I think he found out where a Halo was, and that's the one the MC has to stop him from blowing up. Because Dr. Hasley (the doctor who created the Spartan IIs) took off towards it.... or something 'unknown'.

Spartan 3's haven't been confirmed. They've been assumed to be real, but we don't know yet. A man named Colonel Ackerson is developing a new weapon that is just as good, if not better than the Spartans. It's all up in the air, but Spartan 3's sound possible.

How do you figure that Halsey was heading towards another Halo? I think it mentioned somewhere in the book that she was going to do something that would make up for all the pain she caused. I doubt it would mean firing off another Halo. Sure it would kill the Covenant, but it would also wipe out the humans. What do you think this "unknown" thing would be?

There is a file called S-III that is found, along with medical files about the current Spartans and their flash-clone. Some people think the S-III s a toss up between meaning Section-3 of ONI or Spartan-III. Myself, I'm sure it's tied to the latter. Why else the file be titled with a roman numeral 3?

She doesn't have to fire it; she just has to point it at the head of universe and threaten to fire. What better way to get everyone's attention and tell them to stop fighting?

Let's hope that she's past menopause if this turns out to be the case though.

Maybe the spooks at ONI want to be ultra secretive.

True. But would she follow through with her threat? The Covenant believe that the humans are weak and stupid, so they might think she's lying. They'd put down ground forces so they could take over the ring. Kelly's with her, but I don't think she'd be able to do much.

Cannon... look at all the clues. Ackerson KNEW of the 'temple' under the Oni hideout, Ackerson had unknown coordinates that Dr. Halsey found out through Cortana's research on HALO 04. It's in an unknown galaxy. Now, why would you make a 'new weapon' in an unknown galaxy when the best place to make it, is where you have the best resources. And who said anything about FIRING it? Why can't she STOP IT to save lives? You've wholly misplaced many things and missed many issues, jumping straight to what the obvious was to you. I suggest you reread the books a few times again ;)

I've read the books plenty of times. It's natural to assume that firing the next Halo would be involved, and I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. Ackerson had those coordinates because they were the exact same coordinates that the Master Chief found on Sigma Octanus 4. Can you show me how Ackerson KNEW about the temple? And are you talking about Ackerson new weapon, or another Halo?
