I don't know if it's just me, and i'm probably wrong, but i think i can see the Chiefs head on the far right of the picture. It looks like the cloud head on last resort. It looks like the tip of the helmet joins the tip of the sniper guy, who appears to be bowing down to him.

What do you guys think?

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but they are all wearing the same kind of legplates, which means that they are probably all generally in the same type of suit.

if you look in the background the covenant are glassing the planet. isnt that about the time that john had come back? what im saying is just because its called reach doesnt mean it will be the fall of reach book in a nutshell. i think we're gonna play as the squad fred took to reach after john goes to destroy the circumferences nav database..hell we could be playing that part! but i also think it could end with the desturction of the unyielding hierophant. which is basically putting the prequel in and what happened between halo 1 and 2. then they have ODST to fill in the halo 2 - halo 3 gap. this game has massive potential to be the best halo game yet i think personally.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

If you look closely the guy on the left has spiked leg armor...there are some kind of spikes coming out of the leg. Two other characters (and perhaps a third) have similar armor. I can not tell if the Sniper has this armor. I think it is very unlikely that the guy on the left is a human, considering his size and the fact that he has a massive gun held in one hand. I would guess he is a Spartan.

I somehow doubt Marines got Spartan armor, so I think we can take it there are 3 "confirmed" Spartans in that picture. The sniper could be a Spartan, it kind of looks like he has spiked armor on his legs. All 3 of the characters with "spiked" armor have identical leg armor.

If you Zoom in on the picture, I think that the gun the middle one is holding has a scope. That doesn't mean it is a battle rifle, but of course it does look like a scope. There is a little thing above the arch of the rifle that looks like this.

The second one on the left is difficult. A lot of the characters are a lot taller...is that just a tall marine? A general or a commander? Or a female Spartan? It is kind of short for a female Spartan. The Spartan on the far left and the Spartan in the middle have similar heights I think, especially compared to the "marine'. Bungie games now have 4 player Co-op (and hopefully that stays for Halo:Reach), so 4 Spartans could make sense. Of course ODST has 6 ODSTs but only 4 player Co-OP.

Just let us start it over again, and we'll be good. This time we'll get it right. It's our last chance to forgive ourselves.

I'm goinna go ahead and say that all of them are Spartans, and all of them sport Mark V armor, considering this battle takes place right before Halo 1.

Forgive me if I'm being obvious.

The slater that has started will cost countless lives.

Is it possible that they are both Spartans and ODST's

Oooh this is much better then my thread earlier today.

So now I can see the attacking covenant. Which can only mean one thing -- ELITES!

The person in the middle looks like he's holding a BR... The "Knife" looks like it could be the machete from the VERY early stages of halo. The figure to the left (next to the big guy) looks to be feminine. That's all I could really tell.

  • 06.07.2009 7:58 PM PDT

Also if look closely at the second from the left they have a narrower waist. Looks like a female spartan to me. Anyone else think so?

  • 06.08.2009 12:58 AM PDT

Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

What makes them look female? What if that person is male? You don't want to go hurting their feelings.

i dont think the angle resembles odst. ODST has a much larger nose protruding

If you compare the two pictures, it does stick out, and so does the chin piece. If this is a prequel, then it is likely that the models of ODST armour are slightly different.
I'm not saying that you're wrong and I'm right, but he is also wearing a backpack like other ODSTs.

Pretty sure he is holding an Assault Rifle

.

I would say it looks more like a BR because at the top it looks like there is a scope or it could be an AR with a scope but I'm pretty sure there is a scope there.

Yeah I agree, especially at the knees.

Everything on Pillar of Autumn came straight off Reach...the technology is not really that different.

However ODST's could have different armor "permutations".

You know, hopefully you can't tell what classification the armor is by the helmet. If there are new spartans there are probably new armor permutations. This would mean the head gear on the spartans (and body armor) should be different. The leg armor, however, looks completely similar.

True. We've already seen some with the various ODST characters, for example Romeo's is very different.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

I don't know. I still see all Spartans. They all aren't the same size so that could explain the smaller one on the left. (Also the fact that it is slightly behind all the others. Also why the "bigger" one looks so huge. It's in front by a little.)

They definitely seem to be all Spartans. Remember guys, the one second from the the left, is much thinner than what we expect a Spartan to look like. However, I could be possible, that the person standing there, is a FEMALE Spartan. We have never seen a female Spartan before, so could this be what their armor is like?

  • 06.08.2009 6:46 PM PDT

KEEP IT CLEAN

What do you think that is in the the top left of the middle Spartan's (presumably John) helmet? I have no idea but I think it could be something...

The person second from left is nearer than the bigger person at the very left. You can tell this if you look at their arms in the big picture.

They are definitely all Spartans, and could very likely be from left to right Sam, Kelly, John, Fred and Linda.

Silhouettes v1

Silhouettes v2

Silhouettes v3

Take a look at them, there is no other UNSC soldier that comes close to looking like these. And their leg armor all appears to be the same, just different sizes. So if you call one a spartan, then they are all spartans.
