Subject: Where are the surviving Spartans from Halo: First Strike?

John (Master Chief) is the only Spartan who appears in Halo 2 (and 3). Even though surviving Spartans, Fred, Linda, and Will, were with him aboard the UNSC ship, Gettysburg , on their way to warn Earth of the oncoming Covenant attack (along with Sgt. Johnson), Halo 2 fails to even hint about the other Spartans, their whereabouts, etc.

I'm very late on this topic, but after recently completing First Strike, I can't help but wonder why the other remaining Spartans aren't even mentioned? And furthermore, why is John considered the last Spartan?

If this information has already been shared, can someone help me out? (Also, what I'm asking about isn't pertaining to Dr. Halsey or the Spartan, Kelly, who are both MIA.)

I don't know, I guess I never thought about it before. You would think they would have made some mention of them somewhere. Maybe something happened to them on the way back, and they were either killed or went MIA. That would explain why John is considered the last spartan, he is the only one that the UNSC knows for sure is alive and where he is, most of the time. There has to be an answer to it all, but I don't know it, maybe someone else does.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

I would say the games don't follow the books entirely.

Remember how in Halo 2 the Brutes were immune to the Flood for lacking neural capacity and now they aren't in Halo 3. Some things just aren't legit about Halo dude.

Yea, but it kind of sucks that there is no mention what so ever of the surviving Spartans. I hope at least they clear all this up one day.

My bad, I think you're right. I'm reading that next, I guess I jumped the gun once I finished First Strike.

Not really.. they still should've at least been mentioned in Halo 2. They didn't leave right away, the MC was well into Halo 2 before they dissapeared/left.

I've read the books, BTW.

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

and here my friend is where the halo story went wrong. I think it would have much a so much more indepth story if they included the other spartans in the game or if they at least connected the game and book stories. I find it rather stupid that there are 2 different halo story canons
