Do you guys think that you might fight alongside other Mark V's (considering now that we are back on Earth)? Not like a squad-based fighting, but what are your guesses they will be part of the game?

It basically says you are the last of your kind in Halo:CE, so I don't think there are any more Spartans other than MC in Halo 2.

That's pretty much a given. And co-op will make more sense now.

HaloFan21: Read the books. Halo: First Strike tells you all you need to know. You can get it from the Bungie Store (there's a link on the nav bar).

Uh, in the books it shows us that there is something like 4 or 5 other surviving spartans....and they won't be wearing Mark V armor either, they get new Mark VI armor. Hope this helps.

Yeah, based on all that I've read, I've come to a few conclusions.

1) With Halo 2, we're in for one hell of a awesome story.

2) I'm thinking we'll get to experience some multi-spartan squad action.


Here's hoping.

Dude you have tried to correct me in other threads and have totally been out of place. Well let me correct you now. More spartans were found alive on Reach after the chief destroyed the halo (please read first Strike). At the point in time he was on the halo he knew nothing about the fate of his family, the other Spartans, until he was able to get back to Reach where he left them. They survived under ground.

At the end of the first strike book the cheif and other spartans destroyed the unyeilding Hierophant. Grace died in the assault, but Linda, fred and one other Spartan escaped and were headed back to earth with the chief (John). Kelly also is still alive with Dr, Hassely as well.

Please read up on the halo books HaloFan21

Yeah, hopefully we'll see some four player co-op action. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it, until Bungie officially annouces it. Can't wait for E3.

E3 is too damn far away....I need new Halo 2 info now! It's funny that I need it so bad too, after all that we got this past week. I'm such a spoiled -blam!-.

I hear you. I love soaking up info on Halo 2, though I have yet to read up on anything from the new issue of Game Informer. I don't want to spoil the suprise when I buy it from the store in a couple of weeks. I guess we'll have to wait till E3 before we get another flood (no pun intended :) of new info.

The game informer is sweet....can't wait to get a copy at our local shop....my friend stole my subscription one. It' THAT good. The pictures are to die for too, it looks like a couple of the screens have low-grav turned on. It's gonna rule.

Is there any new info that Bungie hasn't released in Bungie.net?

Recently? Just the new issue of Game Informer.....and other than Halo 2, I'm hoping to see something on Perfect Dark. Fable's also looking pretty sweet, but not sure if it's my type of game. I'm debating whether or not to get Hitman: Contracts. And that's all I can think of right now...

Personally, I can't wait to hear more info on Chronicles of Riddick. That game looks sweet, and if it plays half as good as it looks, it will be one hell of a game. Hopefully it will be system-link.

Yeah there was a feature on that game in the last issue of OXM, it did look pretty cool, and the graphics were sweet. (Though I don't base my purchases on the way a game looks, it can't hurt to look good.) That also reminds me how coolthe new Sammy game, Darkwatch looked when it was revealed a while back. A lot of similarities to a certain game I know....

In fact, they are 7-8 spartans alive. In Fall of Reach, it´s said that there are +-3 spartans that can't join the other spartans at Reach, because they are in the other end of the galaxy. So when the Covenants glass Reach, these 3 spartans are probably safe.

¿don't you think that in halo2 there is a possibility that you can take control of Kelly, when she is with doc Halsey at probably another ring or a forerunner's planet?
It´s said that in halo2 one of the maps will be another ring, so i'd thoug that in this part of the game we play as Kelly(please lord...).

Another thing, more likely, is to control Fred as the player2 in co-op.

A salute from spain. We also play halo.XD
