Subject: halo reach main character?

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerfull than you could ever imagine.

anyone who has read the books will remember a female spartan on reach by the name of sarah and as i remember she was quite the amazing sniper so maybe she'll be the main character?

It was Linda, not Sarah.

As you see from the picture above you. You should see to the right, a figure with a sniper rifle.

I thought Linda-058 was the incredible sniper of the spartans. She sniped 5 elites out of thier banshees while hanging upside down and holding her rifle with a single hand

Calculus calms my troubled mind

It looks to me like Dr. Halsey, Linda, 2 other spartans, and an elite.

I hope to god we don't get to play as an elite... It would not be true to the story and it would feel like Halo 2 all over again.

The main character though I thing was definitely Fred, no doubt.

I mean look at the banner...

Surviving Unknown Spartan = Far Left
Kelly = Super Fast Spartan = Soft Right
Fred = Basically the Masterchief's Fill-in =Middle
Dr Halsey = The Spartan II Program's Mother = Soft Left
Will = Largest Spartan of them All = Far Left

Edited for clarification

i think you might choose which spartan to play as and they all might be the main chars like L4D u can play as all 4 survivors

  • 06.02.2009 8:14 AM PDT

the main character will be master chief
again and there are 5 spartans if you look the big one is a heavey spartan holding a mini gun
the one in the middel is the chief and one of them is kelly being the fast spartan and the smaller one next to the bigger built spartan
and there are 2 more a sniper and anothe if you look closer he or her is holding a knife of some sort

Can't be Linda. During the attack on Reach, the Spartans split into two groups. The largest group, Red Team, went to Reach, and was commanded by Fredrick (104).

Blue Team, however, was composed of three members, John (117), Linda (058), and James (designation unknown), who were sent to an orbiting station to recover navigation data. James was pronounced MIA (legitimately) after a needler round impacted the propellant canister on his maneuvering pack, shooting him off into space. Linda was shot with an overcharged plasma pistol round in the back, and fell into a coma. She was taken onto the Pillar of Autumn and put into cryo. She was recovered by John after the destruction of the ring.

She never was on Reach during the invasion, so she shouldn't, if Canon is important, be in the game.

If thats true then Halsey is one very big woman even if she is wearing gear there...she is standing next to Spartans and an Elite after all...I thought she was much smaller.

I'm thinking its probably an ODST or a regular marine. Gonna have to be a big guy still to stand that tall compared to a spartan in armor.

Could just be a Spartan II standing a little behind the others. Perspective makes one look smaller in the distance.

  • 06.02.2009 8:22 AM PDT

Definitely a possibility, I don't see any shoulder pads though which makes me wonder if its a sleeked down version of armor, or still just a marine. I'm thinking too hard about this probably.

  • 06.02.2009 8:24 AM PDT

i personally think that in reach well play as sergt johnson riding a white unicorn that transforms into battle....

  • 06.02.2009 8:24 AM PDT

Wasn't there a spartan girl named Kelly from the books as well, but she wasn't sniper. What book was sarah in the fall of reach? because I don't remember a spartan by the name of sarah.

What about Mendez the leader trainer for the spartan program? Could he be one just not in spartan armor but in odst armor?

Ah yes I forgot about that! Damn it's been a while since I've read Fall of Reach. Yep, Linda is out of the picture. :(

Mendez wasn't on Reach, as far as I remember.
