What role do you think Kelly will play in Halo 2, and what about that UNSC's spook's spartan program he said he started after the Spartan II project. (refer to the books by Eric Nylund)

Boo, more Spartans would suck. It takes away the concept of Halo: "A human bred for war, and the galaxys only hope" If i ever went on a mission with em id kill em if i could.

More spartans would kick ass it would be awsome to have a close knit spartan team like in the books and it would be awsome if you could switch who you were like from one spartan to another

Doing missions along side Kelly, Fred and Linda would be fun. But doing that in every level would be bad.

More spartans would be awesome. It'd be great to storm the Covie homeworld with a squad of spartans (and maybe Sgt. Johnson for kicks).

Negative, i wouldn't want more Spartans, unless you could be different ones, but not all at the same time or else the Covenant is finished, they have a hard enough time with one. I would still always be the Master Chief though, he's the best.

i think it's possible that there could be more Spartans. Or that Kelly, Linda, and Fred will be in the game. I don't think you could control a squad of them though (via Brute Force) cuz then halo would not be a FPS game anymore. Either way, there won't be a lot of them. Fighting alongside other Spartans would be great, think of it as having Marines that wont die whenever you engage an enemy.

I think if they put the other Spartans in the game, it will only be for a few levels....and not a core gameplay element. It would totally change the entire premise of the game, and I don't think Bungie wants to fix what ain't broke. But maybe they'll have some sort of Online story like Pandora Tomorrow does, where they're are doing something at the same time as the MC, in a different location, that ties to the main story. This would take place in the Human vs. Covie mode. What do you think?

I would agree with you, but thats not necessarily true. The fact that the Covenant now know earths coordinates and location brings forth the theory or at least my theory that, now that the Covenant know where the main habitat for the human race is they would be sending a much larger force than seen before. Personally, if I were commanding the Covenant force, once I knew where the main human populace was located I would want to make no mistakes and send enough of a force to ensure the eradication of the humans. We all know that even the entire UNSC force theoretically simply isn't enough to take on the Covenant. The Covenant have more advanced technology and a huge advantage on the humans, they know the location of Earth. Considering this, do you really think one Spartan is enough? I mean I'm not saying Master Chief is incapable of being a honerable opponant for the Covenant, but I think that the idea of bringing in more Spartans to the story of Halo 2, would be a smart, fun, and realistic idea, and I kind of support it.

Not necessarily. Just because you bring in more Spartans doesn't mean we forget about all of the combat eliments of the original Halo. Its a war, not espionage, infiltration or anything similar to Splinter Cell or Rainbow Six. Bringing in fellow Spartans doesn't give Bungie the automatic message that forget about the war and turn the game into hostages and trash like that. They will still keep the same eliments in.

I disagree with the people saying spartans are bad. u guys must not have read the books. All spartans are supersoldiers and kick ass. When u think of spartans in halo2 u must not be thinking of halo2 gameplay. What about brutes, better covenant vehicles like the shadow. Better weapons for them. I think u guys are forgetting that and are ignorant for that. I think u will need spartans and I think bungie will put them in for at least several missions. And no I don't suck at halo I can beat everyone in my entire school at it if thats what ur wondering from when I said u will need spartans. The covenant are throwing a big heeping dish at u and marines probably won't cut it even though they will be better equipped. If u read the books mc almost got killed by a single brute. If he wasn't so manuverable and strong and had such good reflexes he would have easily died. And in the e3 demo I think that bungie just grunted up the brute so it could show mc bashing him in with his br. (grunted means pretty much that it appeared to be functioning when it was programmed to get its ass kicked). U people forget all that stuff. mc can't do it all as much as everyone wants to think. I think it would even add even more coolness. So u don't have to do everything for example: hmm.. Lets see, 7 brutes over there 2 shadows a wraith tank 1banshee and about 10grunts, 10 elites, and 5 jackals, oh ya 2hunters. hmm on my side I have 20 marines. in a situation like that which I think there will be similar situations like that I think u would be screeeeeewwwwwweeeedd. That was just an example of a much needed point. I just think that it would be cool aid the storyline and give u some help instead of being a lone ranger all the time.

You have to remember that the covenant are trying to take over the ENTIRE planet, a little bit of a daunting task to handle on your own. Not to mention, you friends could take over the Spartans in co-op.

PUT A SPOILER WARNING IN THE TOPIC TITLE NEXT TIME

unless there are multiple endings if one of ur spartans dies the whole story line will probably be screwd. unless all the spartans being in the game doesnt effect the storyline.

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Am I the only one that feels really bad for the Chief here? I think his life sucks, even though most here would try and glorify it.

He's under the impression that his life long friends have been Killed in Action on Planet Reach. He didn't manage to save a single soul in his efforts to stop both the Flood and Covenant on Halo. And that was just ONE Halo Installation and just ONE Covenant Ship: The Truth & Reconciliation.

We didn't really "beat" the original game. We got our asses kicked, if you ask me.... The real -blam!- has yet to hit the fan.

The gamers that say there shouldn't be more Spartans, and that Master Chief should be humanities only hero, are the same gamers that usually need a coop partner to pick up those Legendary insignias.
