Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

By making the silhouettes turbo big, we can see some things for certain.

---
From left to right:
---

Definitely looks like some kind of chain gun in his right hand, with a chain of bullets hanging down, not a tail.
The main thing about that person that I notice is their helmet which has the dip in the middle, like the Mark VI helmet.
Edit: OR Mark IV armour.

---

It looks like they are reaching for a holstered pistol, or some other small weapon (knife?), with their right hand.
This personal also the smallest physically, only slightly smaller than the two people on the right.

---

Pretty sure he is holding an Assault Rifle

---

That really can only be a knife in his hand. This person also has some...thing sticking out from their left shoulder.

---

Sniper rifle is obvious.
Possibly an ODST? - note the angle in the helmet visor, extruding chin piece and backpack.

General:

If you look at the leg armour of all four people standing then you can see a significant similarity, especially at the knee, although slightly less so for the second character.

It looks like that's a knife holster for the dude with the knife.

I wish I was still legendary.

Second from right's wearing a Brotherhood of Steel power helmet. Spartan on far left looks to be wearing a CQB left shoulderpad and possibly security on his right shoulder, so it might have their first canonical appearance soon! Still not sure what weapon he's holding, it may be the 'confetti maker' listed on Halopedia as a chaingun used by the IRF.

Does anyone even read these?

Thanks for doing this! I'll tell you what I see from left to right.
1st - A big fella with a big gun, most likely a chain gun.
2nd - A woman with a Pistol by her hip.
3rd - Possible the main character as he is centered, holding what looks like an AR, which will probably be what it is as it's a signature weapon in Halo.
4th - Man with a knife.
5th - Man crouched down with a Sniper Rifle.

You can also see that all of them except for the character with the Sniper are looking towards the center character, also why I think he is the main character.

That's what I thought, kinda like this, but obviously not because that's a nerf gun.

That "Knife" Looks like some sort of thrown weapon as it extends a blade from both sides. It is not just a normal knife.

It looks more like a machette to me. But hey, it's a 25th century knife, so it could be all kinds of stuff.

Easy to note: on the background are a few Covenant ships, busy glassing the surface of Reach, maybe.

The Big Guy on the left has a different helmet and more armor behind his neck, but the knees, arms and shoulders look exactly the same. Wasn't there one huge Spartan?

Abou the Sniper's knees - compare the armor to Spartan legs and ODST legs. It looks more like MJOLNIR to me.

I'm guessing that the guy on the far left is a Spartan in either an older class of MJOLNIR armour, or an upgraded and bulkier variant of the Mk 4/5 armour. Well, either that or he nicked the Mobile Infantry's Power Armour from Starship Troopers.

Juzzz is my name, sniping my fame. You cannot aim, its not your team to blame!

*English is my 2nd language, spell check is on but don't blame me on my grammar plz.

1) yes i noticed the knife first too.

2) further what i notice is that the first guy is an Spartan and the rest are ODST, so i think you will be able to play as both also in multiplayer.

3) The 2nd person got a really small right arm..

4) i don't think we only need to look at the silhouettes but also at the background, like the tip Bungie gave that its an optical illusion.

That's because the right arm is in a different angle, because he/she reaches for the pistol in the holster, I guess.

If all of thee persons are Spartans, then the left one could be Samuel, the biggest Spartan. He was 7 ft and 10 inches long. That's even a bit taller than the Chief.
Nope, it's not Samuel. He died before Reach.

lol no thats the ammo for the chain gun :)

The guy on the left is obviously an Elite, as you can see his how his legs are shaped but he has a very big chain looking gun. Thanks for doing this!

Then why doesn't his head show up like it's supposed to? He's not hunched at all. I think it's just a Spartan.

Click on my picture again, and find the button that says full size. I outlined some details in different colors, like how the supposed "elite" is wearing what looks like a mark VI helmet.

great post OP, finally people will shut up about the 'elite on the left'.

You can clearly tell by the knee joints that it's a Spartan.

Full size it's much clearer, but why did you outline the second person's head?

Thought it looks like a Mark V helmet. It has that weird shape to it.

The section below the visor (as in covering the person's chin) looks a bit small for Mark V.
