With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Didn't really have time to do a in-depth search of a thread already discussing this, so feel free to lock/delete/point me to another thread if you'd like.

Anyway, looking at the silhouettes on the Halo: Reach banner, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe our main character of Reach is going to be a marine.

If we assume that our front-and-center man is who we play as, his profile fits with the other 3 of the other 4 characters in the silhouette. To me, their armor isn't quite as big and bulky as one might think that Mjolnir Mark V armor should be. However, the one on the far left does fit a possibly re-stylized Mark V profile. So maybe they're marines with a spartan friend? We've had 3 games with spartans so far, an upcoming game with ODSTs, so maybe Bungie thinks it's time for the Marines to be in the foreground?

I'm not sure if even I really buy this idea; it's just an idea, and I just wanted to throw it out there.

I'm glad you didn't say the far left guy is an elite.

It does look like he could be a marine, he looks like he's wearing a cap like Sgt. Johnston.

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

There's been quite a bit of chatter, but nothing in any thread that's really built up. A common theory (the one I'm going with) is that the 5 characters are:
Sam, Kelly, John, Fred and Linda.

If you have read the books, you'll know who these are. If not, then it's just a list of names :D.

woot.

The one in-between the main guy and the far left looks like a woman. mostly her hips, and the one between the main guy and the far right has the same helmet as the main guy. I'm gonna just point out some obvious things to show what we got.

I wonder what weapon that is on the far left?

weapons so far (from left to right)
-unknown-
-pistol?-
-assault rifle-
-pistol-
-sniper-

Or maybe the one on the left is holding an engineer? you know, they covenant beings who can fix anything technological? It does look like it has a tenticle, and they had those.

Turret? I'd say that tentacle is in fact an ammo belt.

I agree completely. This is the first "theory" thread that actually makes sense. The one on the far left is obviously a Spartan, otherwise he wouldn't be holding that giant gun with one hand. The others are smaller than him, but a couple seem bigger than the usual marines. Especially the guy in the middle. His armor doesn't look like anything we've seen, but he looks a bit too tall to be a marine. Not sure what we're going to play as, but I'm looking foward to it.

Snakie Purple.

I think the silhouette is of SPARTAN Blue team.

From left to right: Fred, Will,John (The Master Chief),Kelly, and Linda.

Makes, sense, since Linda was the best SPARTAN sniper, and the one on the left looks to have heavy weapons and a knife, and maybe MJOLNIR armor modified for him, considering he was the explosives guy, who also used knives a lot. And that point me towards Fred.

The one crouching with the sniper, if they were to stand up would be as big as the middle figure.

My first thought was (if the game follows The Fall of Reach novel, which I'll be surprised if it does.) That those silhouettes are four Spartans and one Doctor Halsey. Now I'm thinking... I'll wait and see.

What if, when we use Johnson in Firefight, and a new wave starts that drops Jackals, and we happen to be on a map with a courtyard... You know what I'm thinking?
... we got Jackals in the courtyard..

I doubt they're marines. They're probably spartans, and the one on the far right is probably Samuel(Yes I know he dies, but he is still alive for a period of time to attack a Covenant ship with the rest of the Spartans), since he was the biggest

Well, if we're going to be playing ground-battles on Reach during the time of the assault (and not after), then that wouldn't really work. The characters could be them, I guess, but it wouldn't be if what we're seeing is a specific team of people. At Reach, Fred, Will, John, Kelly, and Linda were not together. John and Linda went to take care of the Circumference, and the rest went to Ground. Linda and Master Chief never set foot on Reach during its failed defense.

It could work if the game is a conglomerate of events, like a "Chronicles" game where you play as the MC at various parts of his past up until the events at Reach.

The more I think about it, though I'm not necessarily saying I believe we'll be playing as a marine, the silhouettes look more marine-like than spartan-like considering the Giant (probably Spartan) on the far left.

How cool would it be to play as Johnson. As long as he talks all the way through the game.

It looks like the guy in the middle is where a hat. Who wheres a hat? Johnson.

But i dont think its him. Just putting it out there for another theory.
