In Halo:Reach, you think we will be seeing any familiar Spartans like Sam. Linda, Fred, ect.

People suck

Uhh, there was a pretty solid thread around here the other day with a theory of their identities(the Spartans on the banner) using information from the book. I'll try and find it.

Red Team, possibly. But I am in complete opposition to those who think they have discerned specific characters straight from silhouettes.

A-ha!

Also, you've read the books (presumably) and you don't know red and blue teams?

But if Halo REACH is about the fall of the planet Reach, it won't have much to do with Halo: The Fall of Reach. Halo: TFoR only deals with the first 15 minutes of the battle, and ends 15 minuutes after that when the PoA jumps out of system. Reach doesn't fall until about 30 minutes after that event, when the orbital generators ground-side fall to the Covenant, and Reach is finally overran. This happens in First Strike.

THIS IS FOR KAT!!!!!!

I actually managed to get the picture of the characters in photoshop and managed to get a good detailed view of it what it is is on the far left its defiently an elite based on the size and shape also i think it could be Arby because if you look especially at the arms it seems more bulky and ornate then regular elite armor. Next to him is either a really small spartan or most likely judging by the shape of the helmet a marine. In the middle is definently a spartan with a BR could possibly be MC but i doubt it. Then the one second to last on the right is also a spartan (no clue what weapon that is?). The problem is with the last one on the far right i cant tell if thats a spartan sniper (Linda) or an ODST personally i think its an ODST because you can make out a pack and we all know spartans usually dont wear packs. Originally i thought they were gonna follow the books were survivng spartans are on reach (Hid underground when Reach was glassed) but I'm not really sure.

Also as an added tip I think there may be a new version of the turret because if you look at the one the elites holding it looks more like a modified version of the Halo 2 turret then the Halo 3 turret.

Thats all i got for now i will try to find more clues.

Right ON! im with you here. Its all up to speculation. I have taken part in narrowing it down with the available canon, but who knows.. Maybe another Slipspace Anamaly will shake things up a bit! haha

That is not an elite. That is Sam because he is the tallest Spartan. If you have read the books then you will know that the people in the banner are Sam, Linda, Kelly, Fred, and John.

We don't know that... others could have been as tall, or taller. All that was stated in the novels was that he was a full head taller than the Chief...

If you have read the books then you will know that the people in the banner are Sam, Linda, Kelly, Fred, and John.If the trailer is anything to go by, the game will most likely be about the fall of the planet Reach. This doesn't happen until First Strike (the first few chapters take place right after TFoR ends), after the Chief and Linda are no longer in the system (they never even fought on Reach).

If S-259 and -320 are main characters, this rules out Kelly, Fred, Will, Vinh, and Isaac, who were stuck in CASTLE base minus all enemies for about three weeks, and a Spartan-259 or -320 were not with them.

We will probably be members of Team Beta, the only team of Spartans on Reach with at least 5 members (check the banner for number of characters) and who are all combat effective (Team Delta was crippled)

Since this is a PREQUEL. I'm going to go ahead and bust out some common sense, and say... *Gasp* YES!

Dude, your putting words in my mouth. I don't need a lesson on the novels. In the banner you can see that Sam is a full head taller then John, I'm still right. Besides I actually believe that the game won't focus on the fall of Reach but on the events leading up to it. The game is called Halo: Reach not Halo: Fall of Reach so you can't prove the the game will most likely be about the fall of Reach.

Who says it's Sam? All we know is that Sam was a head taller than the Chief, that doesn't mean that no other Spartans were as well.

Besides I actually believe that the game won't focus on the fall of Reach but on the events leading up to it. The game is called Halo: ReachThe game is called Reach... so set it on Eridanus II, an Asteroid field, Jericho VII... I don't see the logic there. If it's called Halo REACH, and the trailer clearly shows Reach under attack, I would assume that the game will focus on the fall of Reach (which occurs in First Strike).

Most of the book takes place on Reach. Reach was where they trained and lived. Besides its all ready been proven that the banner is John, Sam, Linda, Kelly, and Fred. Also just because Bungie released a 1 min trailer is not proof of what the whole game is going to be about.

Way more proof than 5 sillhouettes which don't wear any type of MJOLNIR that the Chief ever did (standard Mk IV and V).

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Some nice proof you have there. You linked to a quest where the OP proves nothing and just makes up who is who based on what he read on the books. Never really thinking that those 5 characters might even be normal marines.


You know things are going down the drain when all the proof you have of something is another halfassed theory. Kinda reminds me of the time travel people who keep on linking to other time travel threads.
