SB-117

It's evident that BRUCE is Spartan 259.

B is the 2nd letter in the alphabet. 259
R is the 18th letter in the alphabet. 2 x 9 = 18
U is the 21st letter in the alphabet. 2 x9 = 18. 18 + 5 = 23. 23 - 2 = 21.
C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet. 5 - 2 = 3
E is the 5th letter in the alphabet. 259.

Coincidence? I think not.

Wow, you could actually be right. Interesting.

Remember Linda was on the Zero G op with Master Chief. She wasn't on Reach.

Piecing it together, it actually sounds reasonable.

A rather interesting look at it all.

You know, I'm starting to figure out why that was supposed to be a bad idea.

Fred, John, Kelly, Linda... Can't remember the rest... :P


And Sam, he is the big guy.

Maybe...

sam dies a bit before the reach chapter... I'm guessing that william isn't in this and only three spartans are shown in the trailer, Im thinking three will be fred kelly and linda (no one will be john, since he is presumed dead at the moment floating in space with cortana) and the other will be an elite, the one in the reach picture.(unnamed at the moment) The other looks like a marine... Watch me be right...

I think it's about time we see the legend of Bruce get told in its entirety. I've been waiting for it to be fleshed out since the infamous E3 '03' video.

Irrefutable proof right there that Bruce is in Reach, wonder how they will explain his absence being such a main character.

Seconded. Now that we know that Bruce is on Reach, you are correct in asking how they explain why he wasn't in Halo 2 or 3. I think that Jay has the right idea in that they are doing a total refresh to the way that the series was meant to be.

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

Lol, not that this is in any way possible, but the big one makes me think of the Arbiter. Once again, lol.

Hey guys, do you think this will be a full on reboot with Bruce? I mean, do you think they'll just forget about the story from the Trilogy, and give Bruce Cortana as he was meant to have her from the start?


I think that makes sense given that this is not Halo 4. It has its own separate naming sequence. even ODST is Halo 3: ODST. I think that this does point to them in fact doing a reboot of the series to how it should be.


But it could also be a prequel to the original Halo so that could be the main reason why it doesn't have a number because Halo 0 or Halo -1 really doesn't make sence.

Yeah dude.

Hopefully it'll be more 'The Dark Knight' rather than 'Batman Forever'.

there are a few way to look at this.

one- is its after halo 3 where the team gets sent to reach to get some left itoms like the crystal they found in the caves under reach

two- the 2nd time they went to reach to save the spartans

three- when reach is attacked

four- right before reach is attaced and in the last few leavals reach is attacked

I can't BELIEVE that no one's caught on to the guy speaking at the end of this trailer.

"This is Sierra (Spartan) 259."

Who's number is 259? Oh, that's right, BRUCE. THE GUY CUT FROM HALO 2.

BRUCE 259.
I thought Bruce was 117? You know the whole SB 117 thing?

  • 06.01.2009 9:54 PM PDT

The middle, leader is clearly Bruce as seen in the 2006 E3 Halo 2 demo.

Surely you mean the 2003 E3 Halo 2 demo, in which Cortana is clearly yelling Bruce at a certain point.

Yes, I do indeed. Pardon me. It weighs so heavily on my mind that I thought it must have been more recent.

I, for one, am just glad to see that Spartan Bruce has finally returned to lay waste to his naysayers.
I just rewatched it, and as soon as she yells, a Brute boards the Hog.

  • 06.02.2009 7:10 PM PDT

Are you ready to fight, Commrades?

The one on the far left looks like an elite.

  • 06.02.2009 7:29 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Linda and John were not on reach during the initial attack, but In Halo: First Strike John and Linda returned to Reach to help the remaining Spartans get off the planet, I think the people at the top of the banner, are infact Sam,Kelly,John,Fred, and Linda. The game might not take place on the single battle of reach alone.
