Subject: S-259?

Thanks for the 10 years B.

In the books, will if I remember right... Didn't the number stop on 150? Who is 259?

"S" means Spartan, if you didn't know....

But didn't they only have a 150, at first?
How is there a 259?

  • 06.01.2009 1:57 PM PDT

S is also Sierra, cuz he said Sierra 259 if I'm not mistaken. Sierra 117 ring a bell.

Spartan 2 - 059 is Malcolm

I would have to check the whole storyline over, but they could be a Spartan-III. But I'm pretty sure that they first appeared later in Ghosts of Onyx.

Actually, yeah because they were trained by Kurt, a retired Spartan II.

Sierra is the universal phonetic alphabet call sign for 'S'
and it has been said by Bungie before that Sierra is a callsign for 'Spartan'

Sierra 117 is the first level in Halo 3, referring to S-117:John.
S-259 and S-320 are mentioned in that trailer, even though the Spartan number ended at 150 I believe.

Also, the Spartan III's callsigns were allocated in the format:
1 number followed by three letters. so, A001, B292 etc
So we know they aren't Spartan III's.

Sierra 2 = Spartan 2 then add your 59

There you have Spartan 2 - 59 and with it Malcolm

He said "259", not Spartan-II, 059. Spartans don't use their "II" designation when sounding off, it's just not done. And 259 isn't a canonical number.

I'm not sure, to be honest. I've been mapping inconsistencies since I fist saw the trailer, and I still can't make a definitive heads or tails of it. Only time will tell.

  • 06.01.2009 2:16 PM PDT

maybe some spartans had higher number then other to make it seem like they had more spartans

Thank you. :)

By the way, 0:35 into the video, there is a S-360, well it sounds like 360, to me...

Are you taking the piss?

Halo's story ain't that complex! Its quite very simple really, and you know what they say about the simplest answer.......

Zactly! I mean, it's not like you've ever heard anyone in the Halo universe refer to John as Spartan/Sierra 2117 amirite?

sierra is s in the fanatic alphabet, which is what the military uses. Its a code. For example. Saying Hotel Juliet could be code for Hi John. Just and Example

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
