I think it would be cool to have CPO Mendez in the game. Seems like a bamf from the books.

That would be cool to have him in the game. But he was on Onyx.

Sc King Cobra

He was on reach, then after -blam!- went down. He went to go train the soldiers on onyx with Kurt.

wasn't the onyx story after Reach? as far as we know from Reach he was just going to stay there and train Spartans until Colonel Ackerson reassigned him to his project... I think.

I don't know but that silhouette in the middle looks like a marine instead of a spartan... looks like he is wearing a hat similar to Sgt. Johnson instead of a visor. Would be cool if he helped kick some covie face haha

No Reach happens shortly before Earth falls. He was transferred right after Kurt was grabbed in 2031. Reach is much later. Reach fell August 30th 2552 Mendez was at Onyx on December 27th 2531.

We never knew whether or not Mendez was at the battle, I think we are referring to his training of the Spartan-II's. This would have to be much before Onyx, since Kurt, the Spartan-III trainer, was a Spartan-II himself.

Yes. Oh well just thought it would be a cool addition. Would be nice to actually get to see him in the game since he was such a big part of the lore.

He can't be there though. Reach falls August 30th 2552 he arrived on Onyx 1950 hours, December 27, 2531. And is present on Onyx for the training of the Spartan IIIs through October 31, 2552. He was present on Onyx throughout the fall of Reach. He cannot be at the battle or Reach.

ah, very nice evidence. Well that blows that one apart haha. I just would like to see some of the characters besides MC that had a big part of the book(s) that went with them i.e. Kelly, Dr. Halsey, Fred. Not just inventing an entirely new team of Spartans
