Very plausible.
You have a gift of making everything you say actually believable.
As you have shown in your other thread.

if you look at the reach trailer really close at about 37 seconds in between the lines of smoke you can see a spartan floating and i heard his name is James but im not sure.

It is what it is.

My real gamertag is Boomerf16.

Yeah, that's probably whoever the Spartan is that died on the space station. The only thing I don't understand about all this is the timing. For this analysis to be right and for us to make any sense out of the Reach trailer time would have to be drastically accelerated.

This is excellent, and makes total sense to me. Great stuff.

I believe that the first half hour or so has been condensed into the trailer; it would explain why the planet is spinning so fast.

Still can't make out what he says in the trailer. I thought it was "Noble", then I start thinking "Nova" but the more I listen to it the more it sounds like "Noba". Frustratingly unclear.

R.P.

sorry dude, but highly unlikely. In the midst of all the panic and fight an Admiral commanding hundreds of ships trying to fight for one of the most important military assets that the UNSC needs to hopefully win the war, that he's going to try to contact a Lieutenant defending one of the 7 generators to see how his Company is holding out. Obviously this Admiral has a bit more important things to do. I know those generators are important and they might be on his mind but with Spartans guarding it i'm sure he would just leave the thought alone.

Now try and tell me why this Admiral would be calling for a certain man on the ground in all the chaos then i'll agree with you. Might I add i'm not being a dick i'm simply stating what I think.

I think Bungie just makes trailers and lets Cheehwawa interpret them. From there they just finish the game with his theory.

Because if the generators fell, then the Admiral's forces were all doomed (as was everyone on the surface). He (or even someone else) would be talking with a lieutenant in charge of Charlie Company, which were the only people standing between the Covenant and the generators. He wouldn't know that the Spartans were there until after he tried to contact NOVA-1 numerous times (the Spartans arrived after the Charlies were wiped out).

correct me if i'm wrong,but i thought there were only 150 candidates in the Spartan II program, so how can there be a spartan 257? maybe it's a codename.

But i could be wrong,plz reply.


150 spartans got chosen, but they had looked at far more then 150 people

Exactly, there's really no way to have come to that 150 final candidate list without some previous screening. There are billions of people in the colonies... so many kids to survey.

But didn't they just look for a very specific genetic pattern to see who was an option, then they had to cut that number, 150, down by half due to funding.

Everything rings true except for the Cpt. Keyes thing. And it is hard to tell if he is saying "Nova" or "Noble", but Nova just makes more sense, as you have pointed out.

Idea is genius. The problem is, it makes so much sense that it might actually be true, and Bungie would be ver =( that someone figured it all out.

Signatures are for squares.

I have too say I agree with you. You may disagree with my choices for the main characters in the game, but there is no reason to believe that this theory is wrong. However, one question still remains. After 6 novels, why have we only seen numbers below 150? Sure, it's possible that spartans like Mike, or James, who never had their numbers stated could have numbers over 150, I'm still skeptical about the whole thing.

In addition, no Spartan III's were on Reach, and the Spartan II, class II's, are a cancelled project.

That is all.
