Subject: Spartan James?

I think that spartan James may make at least an appearance in Halo:Reach, what do you guys think? James is not confirmed KIA as his thruster pack got hit and could have sent him shooting off anywhere.

Loyalty is all I have.

lol no Spartan is ever listed as Killed In Action, it helps perpetuate the Myth that Spartans never die

  • 06.19.2009 9:04 AM PDT

I hope he does james was a great character.

  • 06.19.2009 9:04 AM PDT

I know that i was just pointing out that we know he isn't definitely KIA, like Sam.

  • 06.19.2009 9:09 AM PDT

hi

james will make it into halo reach ( although i will be a bit old by then LOL ) remember james died on the station floating above reach and the training that the spartans done while they were 6 and 7 could get in to it because it dosnt say in the title " Halo: The fall of reach " it just says halo reach

Yes, but since he has only one hand, I doubt he will be a playable character. I think that the first cinematic will show all the Spartans in the PoA, and then Blue Team and Red Team will split up, and we won't see him again. In this game, anyway...

It'd be sweet to finally play as a character who's named after me. I'm guessing I'm not the only James in the forums though.

James went MIA before Red Team landed on Reach, about 45 minutes before the Planet fell. I doubt the game will be about their training, the trailer shows the fall of Reach, so I bet it will be about First Strike.

john 117 was listed KIA, he's probably the only one who actually should've been MIA

i know i was just thinking he might be in a video or somthing and like i said he was a spartan so he might be in training

  • 06.19.2009 9:18 AM PDT

James did not die on the space station above reach his thruster pack was hit and he zoomed away. He could have gone anywhere if he was lucky, he even could have hit a UNSC ship and boarded. James and the Master Chief are some of the only Spartans who actually deserve to be listed as MIA.

hi

ye he MIGHT of but think of the chances of him landing on a UNSC cruiser and he would of just burnd if he was falling into orbit of a planet

I thought James got his arm blown off by a hunter in ghost of onyx, then he got it flash cloned.

  • 06.19.2009 9:40 AM PDT

Look at the odds of Master Chief surviving through everything he did,and the Mark 4 Mjonlir had an air capacity for 90 mins-
i quote-The suit was airtight, hardened against vacuum, and featured air-filtration systems as well as a built-in oxygen re-breather system that could last for up to 90 minutes

Edit: I think james probably would have had his arm flash cloned, any way, as the other poster said. And James did not lose his arm in ghosts of onyx he lost it in The Fall of Reach book.

Yeah I made a topic about one of these spartans being James. The one second from the left to be exact because he has a robotic arm if you look at the enhanced version. I highly doubt James got his arm flash cloned. I highly doubt you can flash clone limbs since they share the same skin and DNA as the rest of the body.

The most convenient thing would be to simply give him a robotic arm because he still had half his arm. Plus the new arm wouldn't have the same bone marrow so it would be a lot weaker and possibly not share the same traits. A robotic arm is more likely. My thread had it written out a lot better.

As for the whole spartan MIA. Every other spartan besides Sam deserves to be MIA. You guys just like Sam and just say that. When Sam only killed a few jackals and then stayed behind. So if he does deserve that(which I think all spartans should) then ever other one does.

By the way John had the UNSC try and look for him but they couldn't find him.

1.We don't know that the one on the top left is sam.
2. Sam IS KIA, he was in a covenant ship which blew up, his armour was breached.

He still preformed in missions so i'd assume he has a futuristic prosthetic limb that functions great. (I'm rusty on fiction right now.

  • 06.19.2009 11:44 AM PDT

Maybye it wouldn't even matter whether or not he had a good prosthetic limb. The armour spartans wear (mjonlir) moves by responding to brain signals, so i don't even think he would need an arm at all if he had the armour on.

  • 06.19.2009 11:56 AM PDT

From Cyro to Meta

yeah it would be cool, and i dont think spartans are listed in the KIA

James FTW

Im james 2.

  • 06.19.2009 12:44 PM PDT

James arm was completely burned off. Captain Ponder from Contact Harvest had a robotic arm, so it could be done, plus they would need his arm to be robotic to have the required power to successfully move his MJOLINIR. Sam killed an entire ship. With a nuke. So he deserves whatever he wants.

I know that Spartans aren't listed as KIA in the Halo universe, but we know most of the ones who are really KIA anyway.

I already got to play as John, so that was pretty sweet.

  • 06.19.2009 12:56 PM PDT

He would not need a robotic arm to have enough 'power' to move the mjonlir armour, all you need to do is think of moving your arm and you do it. You also need really strong bones, like the Spartans have, so it would have to be a very expensive strong robotic arm that James doesn't even need.
