I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

it could possibly be a class 2 who hadnt graduated i syuppose.
There was no Class of Spartan II's, there was only the Spartan III project after that.

From Halopedia:
After the Spartan-IIs graduated, Mendez was slated to train the next class of Spartan-IIs, but the program was delayed indefinitely by Dr. Halsey due to issues with viable candidates.

Hey guys,

when 150 is the limited it was the Spartan IIs class 1 (Master Chiefs), they did train more spartans, hence 259

  • 06.03.2009 1:27 AM PDT

I think that there are only 150 Spartan "2" and the number 259 is a trick to make the enemi think that there are around 300 Spartans in duty.
Like there is mentioned in one oh the Halo short films; a Spartan could never be signed as KIA (killed in action) but only MIA (Missing in action) so that there never could be said that a Spartan was Killed by the enemy. The only Spartan that is signed KIA is Spartan 117 .

Spartan 2 - 059 is Malcolm



I don't know, maybe...
But why would he said "..259", why not "059"


.....And then I remember why I hate the kids on Bungie.net forums

Sierra 2 = Spartan 2 then add your 59

There you have Spartan 2 - 59 and with it Malcolm
Then MC would be Sierra 2117. Which he isn't. You're wrong. Now please, we have hundreds of these threads OP, why'd you make another? :(

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.


Are you polish too?

1 Number followed by three letters, then you proceed to say A001...A isn't a number...

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Posted by: Bazuka T
Its Malcolm! haha I figured it out :3
You are a complete genious...



Exept that Malcom died when he smashed into the fkn ground. The dumb theory (2 - 59) doesnt explain 320 either. Also you fail to miss there is a third number on the damn callsign. Its not 59, its 059.



Edit: The only reasonable (yet somewhat improbable) explanation which can be backed up by facts is that 259 and 320 are S-III.

Sierra doesn't make everything a spartan you guys. it could be referring to pelecans, which use things like Echo 419 (echo = E) as identification. Sierra 249 and 320 could be identification for a pelican/pelecans, maybe spartan squads, ODST units, it could be anything. the likelihood of it being a single spartan is nil, seeing as they only go up to 150. (thats including all of the candidates who did not get selected and the ones who died.) there is no second class, according to the books (if i do recall correctly) funding for the second class was cut short, and the SPARTAN II program could not be maintained. something to that effect at least.

259 =/= any spartan 2. they don't put the 2 in there when your number doesn't break 100. that makes no sense.

* Nicole - 458, Meaning that after the Orginal Class I composing of 150 Spartans, Atleast 308 new possible Spartans are deemed feasible.


Except Nicole 458 isn't canon.

they were actually referring to the chief in that instance, but some people have assumed (may have been bungie's evil scheme in the first place) that it refers to spartans in Reach, which is highly implausible.

WTF where the hell did you come up with that?


Edit: Oh nvm, you reffering to the 1-1-7 thing. Yeah he is a Spartan I and his callsign is 17 [/rolleyes]

that's very true, but they'd be missing the G in the front.

how about everyone agrees that they don't know for sure!
haha

but i'll place my guess with this guy.

Because that would be the smart thing to do. Instead we get 3000 topics about "TIME TRAVELZ THEORY, TEH PLANET IN H3 IZ REACH: I GOTZ PROOF".

Hey guys,

when 150 is the limited it was the Spartan IIs class 1 (Master Chiefs), they did train more spartans, hence 259


Or there could have been more candidates originally and were cut down to the 150 semi final number then down again to the 75 level. And since they don't change numbers after an individual has been disqualified the numbers stick. Just as MC is 117, if numbers shifted we'd be looking at 1-75.

So in short there were many more candidates for the program (to put a number out there) 400. Through more through genetic screening's many were disqualified until they had 150 kids. Then began Halsey's in person diagnoses that eliminated another 50% down to the target 75.

It's not hard to see how there can be a 259, 605 or whatever and still follow the cannon only 1 group has ever been trained.

Sierra 259 is a drop code number same as Sierra 117

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....

I haven't got far with the re-reading of The Fall of Reach, but recently Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez I believe announced they were going to train another group of Spartans... So it either means it's a Spartan III, which I highly doubt, or a new 'batch' of Spartan IIs.
