Although you may be right about other spartans in Halo 2, your theory is totaly bogus.
First, i hope you read the books, and if you have i can still clearify things to you, after reading my argument, there will be nothing you can say, so lets begin.
You have to understand the frame of mind of this poor little marine. What does he know for sure? He knows that the spartans are the best of the best, taken from the ODSTs and the Navy ,Oni and elseware ( Not true, but he knows this as fact)
He knows that the best of the best were given special training and the fancy Mjolnir armour.(Which is compleatly mysterious and no one knows exactly how strong it is) He also knows that most of the colonies have fallen ,and that Hell is litteraly raining from the sky.
He doesnt know where or what the spartans were ever doing. He doesnt know that most of them died on reach. He doesnt know about halo or that it was destroyed or that there were flood on it ( I doubt he knows about the Flood either) Nothing about halo was on the 6 o'clock news. There is a heavy fog of war, in the past month or so reach and all other major colonies are gone and If I was him i dont think i would remember the spartans, let alone think that one of them might still be alive. and so isnt he happy when a giant green dude comes running onto his platform coincidentaly after he called for renforcements. He has read about the spartans he knows that they are the best weapon against the covie ground force. He has no idea if the rest of them are dead, alive, a google killometers away, but one of them is standing right next to him, and he knows his a$$ is saved. And isnt he excited.
In conclusion Joe marine doesnt know anything, he is confused, he doesnt have any of the facts. He knows spartans exist he knows they are hard to kill, and he knows one of them is on his platform. BTW he says this with a hint of sarcasim, I think that he knows that "Command" didnt send the Master Chief, he just showed up and he IS as spartan.
His statement does not prove that any of the other spartans are on earth, or will be featured , seen or playable in Halo 2
[color=red] Update: why is the poll tied, it isnt about if there might be other spartans in Halo2, its if you think his theory proves it. why are so many people voting yes? [/color]
