I'll bet the dudes over at Bungie are getting a kick out of this...

With all the, "It's an Elite! It's a Grunt! It's [insert theory here]!", speculation going on...

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

Its most likely Will 043. Read here: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/William-043

For the lazy people, Will was the only Spartan besides John 117 to engage in Hand-to-Hand combat with a Hunter pair. So he was big and survived Reach.

Nothing to see here, move along.

My guess, from left to right:
-An elite (The picture doesn't have to represent an allied team, could just be the main characters)
-Generic UNSC military person(Ship captain or admiral?)
-Spartan
-Spartan
-ODST

They are all Spartans. Its Will, Kelly, Vinh or Isaac in the middle, Fred, Linda.

Hey! Listen! HEY!- The words of Navi

Dear God, this is before Halo CE!
What does that mean? It means were killing the Elites, not fighting with them!
Also, in the books there were some Big spartans.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

$.50 in store credit.

That thing is not an elite! He isn't hunched over, His legs don't look like elite legs, his feet are too small, he has a chain gun, his shoulders are bulkier than the rest of his arms. Nothing really points to him being an elite, other than his height.

the "Elite" is holding a rocket launcher, the covenant will not touch human weapondry, so that has to be i think blue team, or just a group of spartans


It's not a rocket launcher it is a brute shot look at the black right beside its left leg. It is an Elite.

The Forum Ninjas are asleep.

Posted by: Capt Stoneheart
you can see the outline of a visor, and you seriously can't see the gigantic elite on the left?
if youd read the books you would know that there was a spartan who dwarfed the already usually large spartans.

and look closely at the armor, it has the same elements in the same places.

If my purpose in life is to be hated, then I'll make a great boss

Its someone in the armour that came before the spartans armour, its balically a suit used for mining with a minigun and rockects straped onto it. It was used to train the spartans, read fall of reach.

  • 06.03.2009 11:06 AM PDT

Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

i read all the halo books, and it looks to me like a team of spartans. I mean they seem to be standing in unity, and elites were fighting against the UNSC at this time. You could be right though, none of us know.

Can anyone tell me the weapon that the so called elite is wielding?

Actually the figure on the far left maybe Samuel, the tallest and strongest of the Spartans.

  • 06.03.2009 11:50 AM PDT

I don't think the Spartan on the left is Sam because he supposedly died in a Covie frigate staying behind (because his armor's vacuum seal was compromised) to let his team escape an explosion.

It's kinda hard to tell who they all might be just from their silhouettes they could all be new characters for all we know.

In fact the audio in the teaser does have some bits of never heard before Spartan code names there is a Sierra - 360(female voice) and Noble One aka Sierra - 259. Both are presumably Spartans hearing that Noble One says " You got Spartans on the ground sir."

If you have any doubts that the big guy on the left is a Spartan II it's pretty clear to me he's got a CQB plate on his left arm. Then there's fact that Elite's did not rebel against the prophets till the events of halo 2, which is well after the Battle of Reach.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

He's a bout a whole head taller than who I'm assuming might be Master Chief in the center. I'd call him Sam if I were to take a wild shot in the dark.

  • 06.19.2009 4:42 PM PDT

The Master Chief and Linda were both in orbit with James. If this game is about the ground battle on Reach they most likely would not be in it. Except, for maybe appearances at the beginning to establish that they would not be on the ground.

Floodians whom I'm in a love square with:

camer guy 65
D A F T (daft_punk)
Sacred Flea

I watch this on loop when I'm bored.

Why do some of you guys think "it's bigger then everyone else, it must be an Elite."

Look at computers from 25+ years ago, they were massive, don't you think Spartan armour would have started out big and clunky and then gotten smaller and sleeker?

And augments were known to give some of the Spartans increased height (Sam).

  • 06.19.2009 5:10 PM PDT

Heck his height could just be a optical illusion too. Could be that he's standing a bit ahead of the others.

  • 06.19.2009 5:12 PM PDT

- Dont eat purple cookies

If that's an elite spartans got shorter

Actually, you could be right. He/She could look taller because he/she is at the front, and the other Spartan at the front is crouching so we don't know if they are the same height or not.

Make a thread about this, now!

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Here's a zoomed in pic. I don't think it's an elite. http://s529.photobucket.com/albums/dd336/angus695/?action=vie w&current=Spartan.jpg

Proud Member of Arm the Flag, creators of quality machinima. Join today! Make sure to ask for Divine Plan ;)

Guys, how many of you have read 'The Fall of Reach'?
Right, now out of you, who can remember the scene where Dr Halsey sees the Spartans training, in a game of Capture the Flag against the trainers? What were the trainers wearing? What were they armed with?
I win :D
