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.

When i read this, the first thing i thought about was 4 player co-op. If the first 4 characters look like Spartans, and are 'grouped' together because they are facing the same directions, then the chance is that each player in a co-op game will play from the perspective of a unique character that is actually part of the story, i.e one of the first 4 silhouettes. Which would leave the 5th character unspoken for.

Although it's probably not true. I would question exactly how much thought was put into the making of this image. Were the silhouettes positioned as they are because it looks cool? Or was some real deep thought put into each and every pixel in it.

She's a computer program, the only fighting she's ever done was against other computer programs.

Sure there is 5 spartans! they are the Blue team (the john squad in the book fall of reach) the left spartan is Sam the tallest and the biggest spartan. he was the more strongest of all spartan. second left is Kelly. the smallest but the fastest of all the spartan. in the middle is John because hes the squad leader. second right, the spartan who old a knife is Fred. in the book that said that Fred's mastery is knife combat. And the last one at right is Linda. the best sniper of the spartan. when u read the book, u are able to indentify them. (sorry if my english is not pretty good, im french)Ha yea and the planet is Reach who have been destroy by the covenant ships.(for who dont know it, reach was the army planet of the humain (like an army campement but ALL the planet)

Ok so here's my prediction. Since this game obviously has something to do with the planet Reach, if anybody has read the books, then they would know that a few Spartans, excluding the master chief, and a woman ( like the one up top), Dr. Halsey, hid out in old mining tunnels under the surface of Reach. Now to me, this looks like that group, give or take a Spartan or two.
There is the second figure, Dr. Halsey. The far right figure could be Linda, the amazing sniper, but she is with the Master Chief on a space mission above Reach. As for the other figures which, keep in mind, could very well be Spartans in Mark V armor. They had to drop from a Pelican at extreme altitudes, and used the shields to survive the fall.
Then again, all this speculation is based on the prediction of Spartans being in the game. If that is not the case then haha all of this writing was for nothing...

This may be true, but in the book, First Strike, it tells of the Spartans that assaulted the Covenant on Reach, and Linda was injured during a mission in space with Master Chief, and therefore could not be the Spartan pictured.

The maker of the AI might have seen some action, but scientists don't usually fight right?

yea is the spartan who is on the picture because halo reach will be before the halo 1 game then before the dead of all the spartan. and for the injured spartans, all spartan die exept john and linda who is in critical health. how they die. Sam, the biggest one, die in a covenant ship cauz is suit was broke the he was unable to go back to the pelican. Kelly, she was running to open a inportant door to go some where(dont remember where sorry) and got shot by plasma rifle and die. Fred. Fred john and linda was going to a platform in the space to destroy important thing before to go away from covenant cauz it was sure that reach gonna fall, and in the way to go at the platform something hit the jet pack of Fred and he go away in the space and die. Linda. she was with John in the platform, they was detroying the computer when a group of marine enter where they was. it there we see sergent johnson for the first time. john linda and the marine group try to escape the platform before it blow up, but when they was going in the pelican, a group of jackal get out of a door and start to shot the group, and they hit linda too much for she's sheild. then the plasma burn her. john take linda in the pelican and johnson drive the pelican to the pilar of utum(sorry dont rememver how to write it) and linda go away in an other ship with a doctor. for the other spartan they was on reach when the planet blow up, then they die...(sorry again for my bad english)

=O the squad leader of the ODSTs (the game coming out) says that he was on reach.

could it be? is it she? wait... him?

  • 09.18.2009 2:15 PM PDT

who was on reach? the squad leader of the ODST ? if yes im not sure, but i think yes. i know there is an important ODST learder who die on the Halo(in the same time of halo 1 the game, but we dont really know what arrived to the other people in the game, but if u read the second book u will know it (the floods if i remember correctly)).

ive only read the book in which linda disappears, but yes, on a vidoc, the odst leader mentions being on reach. i think the line is "but we've seen all this before. harvest, something.... and reach"

  • 09.18.2009 2:51 PM PDT

Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.

seeing the trailer,im geusing.non odst is involfed in the picture(we got spartan's on the ground sir."spartan's")

next thing i had in mind.no mark VI.cuz its a pre and not a se.its before halo-1.

another thing..look at the first halo trailer(the apple mac trailer)when it stil was mac only.(the armor)

we might get glimps of jhonson and rookie tough.

Its definitely a chaingun.
The multiple barrels, trailing ammo belt and large size.
Could it be us getting a light machine gun to act as an inbetween for the AR and the turret.

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

I agree with the chaingun. However, I think that the center figure is holding a BR, and I think tat the Sniper is NOT an ODST, I could be wrong though. Also, although that figure is probably holding a knife, don't you think it is a little.... roundish to be a knife? It doesn't look sharp.

i think they're all spartans.

as a side note, given the body language of the 2nd person from the right, i think this one's a female as well.
so 2 girls on the wings of the center guy, and 2 other specialist spartans on the far wings, heavy weaponry and a sniper.
