The creator of Resident Evil 4 said that Wesker will not be in it, and at the end, Wesker was


You also got to play as him in Mercenaries but that's beside the point.....Point is-The creators aren't going to tell you everything about the game. Especially about one with a Campaign that's expected to be 4-5 hours long.

I'm pretty sure there were no Spartan I's (though I have not read any of the books and don't count them as legitimate plot parts) I'm pretty sure the Spartan II's were called that to honor the ancient greek spartans who were known to be awesome warriors. also ABSOLUTLY NOONE in the squad is a spartan! there is no way any of them are that good

It's amazing. I include a fine piece of work to help explain how the Spartan I project was real and it even shows how it was real(Johnson), yet people just skip over it and instead want to just conclude that the Spartan I's were the ancient Spartan with no facts from the Bungie lore to represent this.

Really anything anything is possible he could be sparten 1 descendant or justa a normal guy. It does not matter. Tho in the E3 demo he does just pretty high for carrying 60+ pounds of gear.

he's called the rookie cuz he's new to the squad, as for his name being classified, its becuz his name might have some important role but they dont want to reveal it.(or he just doesnt use his name or bungie just didnt feel like telling u so you'll start making stupid theories so they can laugh at you and your cluelessness and they like keeping the story secret)

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Why is everyone obsessed with one of the squad being a Spartan 1? Maybe the Rookie is a secret agent for ONI, or his information is censored because he's the main character. I Loves Bees was made by people outside of Bungie with minimal assistance. It's a bit of a gray area when you think of Johnson, or Spartan 1s.

johnson is indeed one of the sparten I's becuase of his augumentations
And I don't even though what you're talking about...

btw, ur sposed to be playing as a regular marine, not a super human spartan, so why would the person you play as be a super powered spartan, use your head idiot, the only reason his name is censored is becuz bungie wants to laugh at ur clueless theories

I'm a spartan!

Not really but it's fun to act like it.

How is my theory "clueless" and full of "cluelessness"? It's not like it isn't possible. I tried to include as much factual infromation as I did theoretical information.

It's not impossible. I would love to see it happen.

My post was directed towards the person who posted twice in a thread he obviously views as impossible, created by someone who is "clueless" and is and idiot.

The Rookie is an ODST, that's it. He is not a Spartan 1, he's too young.

no he cant be a spartan 1not everyone in halo has to be spartan even if they are wearing helmets. johnson would be an example of a spartan 1

Memento mori.

Although it would be cool if Bungie put some deep connections to their Halo novel and graphic novel lore through their video games, I don't think they would do something like THIS. And for the last time, JD stands for John Doe - A nobody. Bungie put this in there because the Rookie is NOT the main character, the other squad mates are. The Rookie is just the way of telling the story to the player-but they make the player character a nobody so the player puts themself in their character's shoes. It is a way of storytelling, not a deep mystery in Halo lore.

u mean me?
im not calling u clueless, im basing my theory off the fact that ur not sposed to be a spartan in the game and also, bungie is probably getting a laugh out of how far off the fan's theorys are. and i was directing that post at all the crazy theorys

His age is classified. I wonder where you base this statement on.

his age isnt classified it is not known at the time and besides he'd be about as old as johnson in halo 2-3 making him rather old to be a rookie

I beleive that this theory is probably correct, and I'd like to add a few more supporting points.
For the age thing there is a very good reason why the rookie may still be young: Cryogenics. Non-essential UNSC personel are put into cryo sleep during slipspace jumps, and your body dosen't age during this period, meaning that military personel often live a lot longer, especially if they spend a lot of time jumping between systems. The chief is actually over 60 in the events of halo 3, but he still has the body of a 30 year old because of all the time he has spent in cryo.

This next part is based on the ODST name change trailer. The superintendent is watching the rookies vehicle crash, and at 0:56 seconds he estimates the fatality rate at 99.99%
The superintendent then attempts to identify the vehicle, and runs the vehicles ID through the new mombassa police department database, and finds no match. He then runs it through the UNSC database, and then has his search terminated by ONI, and his data core is shut down. Obviously someone dosen't want the rookies identity being known.When his data core comes back online, and we next see the rookies pod at 1:34, the fatality estimate is at 00.52%. Obviously the rookie is something more than human, as he can easily survive crashes that would have killed a normal human with ease.

However, another possibility is that he is not a Spartan I but a Spartan III, which also fits all of the evidence.
