caution Spoilers of books

First off yes i have read all the books.

Just a little catch up knowledge for those who haven't read the books
when Reach is initially under attack MC, Linda and another spartan are shutting down a orbital base while the remaining 27 some odd spartans are sent ground side. Chaos erupts and near the end of the Reach book there is around 10 left.

In First Strike MC passes by Reach on his way home (This is in a nutshell much more complicated) saves remaining spartans although some die on the way. They eventually get to earth were they get some RnR while MC begins H2. At this point i believ there are 6 spartans left; MC on H2, Fred, Linda, Will on earth, Kelly with Doc Hasley heading for planet Onyx and one sparatn i forget his name but he is training the lesser quality spartan III project on Onyx.

So while MC is busy on H2, n H3 the remaining spartans get to Onyx where the meet the next generation. Lucky for them they arrive in time to fight covenent and retreat into Onyx. Inside Onyx There are the 5 aformentioned spartan II along with a few spartan III and hey all wind up in another dimension in the center of Onyx except for will and he spartan III trainer.

Recap MC at end of H3 heading towards unknown planet (Some have speculated as Onyx which would make for a kickass sequel)
3 remaining spartan II and several spartan III and Doc Hasley.

Fears:
I hope Bungie doesn't completely mess with the story line i.e Sierra 320 and 529 appearing out of no where since the Spartan II project only had some 150 candidates with only 30 making it to the final stage.

Hopes:
kick ass multiplayer including Regular team vs. team, Forge,(with an axis rotator) Improved firefight assuming that there will be minor things to tweak.

I want to fight Elites again I like the H2 brutes better than the multicolored armour, and mohawk ones in H3. Make the grunts, jackles and hunters smarter using tatics to make you think fast ie. the jackle shield wall from the H2 demo.

I wouldn't mind seeing locust from halo wars but no vampires they didn't fit

i'll update when i can think of more.
