Who the heck is Bruce. Just popped on here and it seems there has been a revelation regarding Spartan 259. But... who is he. And how did he get cut from Halo 2? Never saw anything in the E3 video about Bruce. I just heard Cortana yell Brutes

People are saying that Spartan 259 is Bruce. And that he was cut from Halo 2. But I have no idea who he is or what's going on. So I don't know what the hell I'm on about

Bruce was first introduced during the E3 2003 Halo 2 demo however, due to reasons unknown, was cut from the game, and as far as anyone thought, the Halo universe altogether. Halo Reach has seen the return of Spartan Bruce 259. We don't know too much about him, but hardcore Halo fans are all pretty pleased to see him back.


Here's what we know about him so far: Link

The only thing I pick up on close to Bruce is cortana yelling brutes when they come out of the dropship. So unless he is anywhere else... not sure where that's coming from.

Well, if this is right, Bungie should instead have a certain Evil Dead star play him. But, I don't believe it.

haha, I mean I'm not saying he can't be named Bruce. But I do not see anything close in the E3 2003 trailer about bruce or some hidden spartan named bruce.

Bruce was basically going to be Halo 2's second character. He was to be a new Spartan character with different features to playing as the Master Chief. For instance, his visor had 3 different viewing modes (ala Predator), and his to be given a special type of Rocket Launcher that fired biological weapons known as the 'Genetic Jackhammer'.

Many rumours are doing the rounds saying he's going to be resurrected for Halo: Reach, but we'll have to wait and see.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

If I recall, there was also an offhand remark by Keyes in the Fall of Reach novel to a Spartan by the name of Bruce being on Reach as it was glassed. Since this is a Reach game, it seems obvious to put two and two together.

I believe the exact quote was
'Bruce you check out what's going on down there!'
Think it speaks for itself really.

they're comparing it with the silhouette in the middle. They think it's Bruce a.k.a Spartan 259 who was apparently on reach when it was glassed. So... yeah. It confused me too don't worry

  • 06.02.2009 7:35 PM PDT

I read the books. Don't remember a Bruce. And still doesn't explain his 259 and the girls 320 designation being over the 150 candidates.

I suggest re-reading them. The second read through is always the best, and you notice things you didn't on your first read-through. ^ ^

Bruce has never been given as much attention as he's deserved. He'd make a fine addition to the lovely lineup and bets are on that he'll be revealed at some point to be an incredibly useful and integral part of the game.

Crimson Clover

All these senior members seem to be referencing the fabled Spartan Bruce. As a fellow senior member, let me agree with these fine gents and mention that Bruce would boldly go where no other Spartan dare tread.

Signatures are for squares.

Ugh, people are so thick.

Everyone is making fun of the E3 2003 trailer of Halo 2, where a brute jumps on the wharthog, and Cortana yells "BRUTES" although is sounded like "BRUCE". So people are saying that the spartan from the E3 demo, was actually a spartan named Bruce.

THE END.

I get the jokes people, and I don't mean to ruin the fun, but there is enough confused and retarded people in this forum already, lets not confuse them more.
