"The land may melt, the seas may swell, the sky will fall... but They will come." - Malzahar

It may have been obvious to some of you, but in the trailer two spartans were mentioned.

Sierra 320, and Sierra 259.

Anyone know the name of the Spartans that have these Service Tags?

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

there is already a thread concerning this. Sierra 320 is from Spartan III program #20 and Sierra 259 is from Spartan II program #59

There has been a boatload of discussion on this and I'm a little surprised a thread hasn't been pinned on it yet.

your logic, while can be understood, is incorrect. in the original Spartan program, there were, 150 original children? of them, about 75 'washed out' and could not be Spartans. now, here is the rub: MC is Spartan 117(sierra 117) so, the master chief has all of a sudden regressed to being a Spartan 1?

also, because they are only in the books, the Spartan 3's actually have different number codes, relevant to the company that they were trained in. such as, Gamma company, where one of the main characters of ghosts of Onyx is G099, wheras beta company would be BXXX. so, Spartan 320 is not a part of the Spartan 3 program. (also, the Spartan 3's were made into the middle of the war against the Covenant, as a way to make quick Spartans for cheap. where Reach is a good bit earlier. or at least, speculation that it is, because the Covenant schism occurs in the book.)
