It's just a combat knife. The guy played with it when he was nervous in the book.

Enough times for it to be a cannonical weapon in the Haloverse.

I just don't get how people jump to the conclusion that the figure with the knife is Fred because he tooled around with a knife once aboard the PoA. Especially since Fred was never with a 5-man squad on Reach.

Wolverine was supposed to get his claws during WWII, but sure enough look at W:origins. He's faught all the wars, retired, and THEN go the claws.

Not saying Bunjie's going to screw up THAT bad, but I'm sure nothing will be 100%...

In fact, I'm counting on it.

I will end this all now.
Regardless of the title- THEY ARE ALL SPARTANS
John was there part of the battle-in the middle he has an ASSAULT RIFLE (also his fav. weapon)
left to right : turret with ammo belt hanging down carried by a spartan with mark IV (4) armor. the others have mark V (5) he is just tall.It MAY be sam, could be another im not sure
Kelly has a pistol-maybe the original, maybe not.
John Spartan 117 he has an assault rifle, yes it has a somwhat long barrel for anar but thts what it is, if you lookk at the pic below it look like it could even be a silencer but ive nevereven heard of that before thats just a guess.
Then Fred who liked and has a knife, sorry for knife haters THATS A KNIFE
Then Linda who was an expert sniper and thats what she has.
They were the blue team spartans, they werent blue that was their team name and thats whos in the picture.
THE PIC BELOW IS LARGER AND OBVIOUSLY PROVES ME RIGHT. PLEASE LOOK

No he wasnt. He was in space, not with Fred or anyone else on Reach.

Kelly has a pistol-maybe the original, maybe not.No.

John Spartan 117 he has an assault rifle, yes it has a somwhat long barrel for anar but thts what it is, if you lookk at the pic below it look like it could even be a silencer but ive nevereven heard of that before thats just a guess.Its not an AR. And its not John (look at the armor).

Then Fred who liked and has a knife, sorry for knife haters THATS A KNIFEThe only thing that we have about Fred and a knife is in Halo First Strike, and he just spun it around when he was contemplating the mission ahead. It noted that ALL Spartans were notable for their deadliness with a knife, not Fred.

Then Linda who was an expert sniper and thats what she has. She was in space. And she didnt fight on Reach when they went back because she was clinically dead.

No.

If it's not an AR then what is it? It sure as hell ain't a BR!

There's no negative space near the top or a scope.

The top of the gun is almost IDENTACLE to an AR at the angle it's at.

Come on. All this despute is over the barrel length. Haven't you learned by now how inconsistant Bungie is with the barrel lengths of guns from game to game?

Its not tall enough to be the AR, it may be an MA5K (AR carbine) or an all-new weapon.

first off, this is not going to be only the Fall of reach, its a VERY SHORT FIGHT, the game will consist of much more and all of who i said will be included, what i said is correct, you are wrong. john was on reach during its fall THATS WHERE THE AUTUMN PICKED HIM UP, and Sam couls still be a character before the point in which he died and it might not be him anyway.
Kelly- YES
Sam- MAYBE
JOHN- DEFINATE YES
Fred- YES
Linda-Died later but still in the fight. They were blue team and their in the pivture. your wrong im right end of story.

  • 06.13.2009 10:40 PM PDT

WTF?!! A CHILD? R YOU BLIND OR JUST CRAZY? Its and ammo belt attached to the gun YOU look closely or look at this pic EVERYONE GO TO THIS LINK!!!!!!!

John, James, Linda were in space in Gamma Station on a 10-15 minute mission. James was MIA (probably KIA), Linda was KIA, and John went back to the Autumn with her body, and they left for Halo.

Red Team (27 Spartans) fell to Reach. 4 died on impact, 6 became crippled (among them: Will, Vinh, Isaac, the other 3 are unnamed), and most others recieve minor wounds (including Fred and Kelly). Fred splits the Spartans up.

Alpha - Fred, Kelly, Joshua. Joshua is KIA, Kelly and Fred flee into CASTLE base where there are no enemies encountered until 3 weeks later when John returns. They werent with S-259 or S-320 (the characters from the trailer) so this rules them out.

Beta - 11 Spartans (all unnamed) left to guard the generators. They are all unnamed and unnumbered, and are all MIA. They are the most likely candidates for the 5 Spartans in the banner (which would include S-259 and -320) since they are the only team with 5+ Spartans in it, and which could have included S-259 and -320.

Gamma - Grace, Anton, Li. They went to rescue Whitcomb and went on to perform guerilla missions from Camp Independence. This is not the likely group because there were only 3, not the 5 as seen in the banner.

Delta - Will, Isaac, Vinh, and the 3 unnamed crippled Spartans. Will, Isaac, and Vinh went into CASTLE base before Alpha did, and they recieved medical care from Halsey, bringing them back up to combat effectiveness. The 3 unnammed crippled Spartans are MIA between the generators and CASTLE base. But theyre unlikely candidates both because they dont have at least 5 members (like in the banner) and because without Halsey's medical care (such as flash-cloned organs) they would not have been able to fight unless they were standing still. Not good for gameplay.

See now? I'm right. You're not.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

Sargent Johnson used a BR55 Prototype on Harvest in the novel Contact Harvest. Either way, I think it looks more like the Assault Rifle John-117 used in First Strike, with the red dot sight on it, and perhaps a few other modifications.

As for the far left figure, I am hoping for a usable belt-fed Light Machine Gun.

  • 06.13.2009 10:55 PM PDT

im not even reading that i lost interest so whatever.

and to the sceptical ninja dude, my bad that was a dick way to respond I just thought it was kinda obvious it was the ammo belt not a kid. and no i dont like little boys but a funny thing to do. sorry.

  • 06.13.2009 11:10 PM PDT

ok cheehwawa dude if your so smart who do you think it is and what guns? please dont type another novel

I think that they are Spartans from Team Beta, in which case we couldn't put any names to the figures since we don't know 14 of the Spartans on Reach's names. Just be patient.

Guns... minigun, holstered pistol, a new rifle (I would named it the CR77 Combat Rifle), a combat knife, and a sniper rifle.

  • 06.14.2009 12:02 AM PDT

okay- well no one knows for sure like you said we can just be patient

minigun-definately
holstered pistol-yes
combat knife-yes
sniper rifle-yes
new rifle-maybe

also nothing to do with this but i think in the halo 3 trailer "starry night" john is the boy but the little girl might be linda since they were friends before the spartan project and there are hints/clues in the video leading to her being a spartan.

No actually they were first introduced in first strike. They were new weapons straight from oni.

  • 06.14.2009 1:28 AM PDT

I reckon the middle one's holding an Assault Rifle.

John didn't know any of the other Spartans before boot.

Johnson uses a prototype battle rifle in Contact Harvest. It never says that the weapons used by the Spartans in CASTLE were battle rifles, it is just assumed, but you know what they say about assumptions.
