I read First Strike, and I know other Spartans survive to travel to Earth with MC. What I dont quiet understand is why they have not shown them in trailers, why they were not with MC at New Mombasa in that long video, and how they are going to explain this to people who have not read the books...

i think that the 3 remaining spartans (excluding Kelly) will be separated and sent on individual missions. while u may get to see them in a cut scene i doubt u will be able to fight with them.

I too think there will be very little cooperation amongst the remaining spartans, although common sense would dictate that you would keep the team together, and the books defintely confirm that the Spartans are much more effective together than alone.

Gameplay wise, however, i think the other Spartans will play only minor roles because its just not as fun if there is a computer controlled Spartan...theyre too powerful. I would like to see them in some cutscenes or some mission objectives. Since at the end of First Strike there are several together, i wonder what the story will be that seperates them.

As a side thought, it might be interesting if you followed more than one story line, or even more complicated, the first player and multiplayer co-op modes followed different story lines. That way you could perhaps play as a female spartan (lindas still around) which would be a politically correct move.
