Subject: S-III's in Halo: Reach?

I doubt that the rumor of S-III's in Reach is true.
1- III's are very young when deployed to battle, so if Malcom is dead, can a Twelve year old have such a deep voice?
2- If you look at the picture for the Reach cover, you'll notice that all of them are wearing Mjolner ( sorry if I didn't spell it right) Mark !V armor, While the III's wore the SPI armor.
Let's have a debate about this.

First off, it's not a rumour, it's a theory.

And secondly, you're right; that voice isn't necessarily a Spartan III. Too deep, you might say. Some people have abnormally deep voices, so that could be a trick. But I tend to doubt it.

The banner at the top of the forum there does not depict MJOLNIR armour; it depicts outlines of people. People that are all tiny next to someone on the left. Spartans don't dwarf other Spartans. That looks like Marine gear to me. I'll admit I see that the left is likely a Spartan, but the others are probably not.

Yar-har!

Different call signs. Spartan III's have call signs like B039, whereas Spartan II's have something along the lines of 095.

Spartans can dwarf other Spartans. Even amongst people with peak human physical conditions there would still be differences in height and those who are bulky versus lean...and male versus females.

One on the far left seems to be wearing security shoulders to me.

Could be marines...but you don't end a trailer with "spartans on the ground sir" and then have the game not be about them...but then again Bungies trailers were never really faithful to what the game was actually about.

NEW THEORY!!!, In the book Ghost of Onyx, their were five spartan III's in "tubes". Dr. Hasley said that they could be anywhere in TIME or space. Get the picture??
