If you have ever read "Halo: First Strike" you would know that the Master Chief found a small group of Spartans back on Reach, but in "Halo 2" he is the last Spartan. So what happened to Fred, Will, and Linda?

Who said any of them weren't in there?
Who said they weren't helping other parts of the globe? :)

i read in a previous forum that he was the last spartan.
my only guess is that they died somewhere in between first strike and halo 2 which means there will be another book soon or it will be in the book of halo 2

Usually the books are linear... so the end of one leads directly to the beginning of the next. So whatever book we see come out for Halo 2's literature, it probably won't be shortchanging us.

PS: You probably heard that stupid idea about John-117 being the "Last Spartan" from a pre-First Strike book, when John had no knowledge about the condition of his teammates... or, of course, from one of the gaming magazines' reviews which don't have that good of info on Halo.

No one ever said he was the last Spartan. Well, actually they did... but they suck ass and don't know what they're talking about. Yes, John is a... "unique" Spartan. But since they all recieved the same training, they should be close to as capable of defending themselfs. Naturally their ships could be destroyed by Covie battleships and what not, but they might have lasted as long as John. If so I think Bungie should have them re-unite with MC in H2 or in the aftermath. Oh, and by "they" I'm referring to possible other Spartans.

Didn't those guys die before their training was done on reach?
OR
Was the training camp moved somewhere else? i.e. Earth?

Heres how it goes:
* Some Spartans died in their training and augmentation programs.
* Others died in early missions facing mercinaries and later the Covenant when the humans first encountered them.
* More Spartans later died in distant fighting that the Master Cheif was not part of.
* When the Covenant made their massive attack on Reach two missions were made using the Spartans: one group went to defend the MAC Orbital Gun generators, while a smaller group (which included the Master Cheif) went to retrieve a Spec-Ops ships data core so the Covenant could not find the exact location of Earth. The only one to make it out of the Master Cheifs mission was our precious MC, while the Spartans on Reach conditions were unknown.
* In 'First Strike' we later learn that some of the Spartans survived the Reach conflict and ended up reaching Dr. Halsey and the journey continues.
* By the time the Master Cheif reaches them, only a few are left.
* After the frontal assault on the Unyeilding Heirophant only a few Spartans are left, including the Master Cheif of course.

it is unlikely that there would have been enough time for training to create the SPARTAN IIIs
