So as some of you know, the Spartan-II program was a major sucess. But it was costly, unethical and the genetic information was hard to find perfect matches, meaning there weren't enough candidates for more Spartans. So, after the Spartan-II program, the Spartan-III program was started up by Colonel James Ackerson.
So basically, the Spartan-III's were designed to be better trained, cheaper and expendable. This meant they weren't as invincible as the Spartan-II's.
Anyways, Spartan-III's would be trained in companies of 300 to 330 at a time. Then sent on suicide missions to basically, buy time for against the covenant.
(This brings up an interesting point, the Sierra 320, and Sierra 259. If they are Spartan-III's, it makes perfect sense that their numbers are so high. Because, there would be around 330 Spartan-III's built at a time, meaning, 320, and 259 makes perfect sense.)
[Just that I would add that]
So with this in mind, the "Spartans" of this game could be Spartan-III's, not Spartan-II's. Maybe some of these Spartans could be from Gamma company. Who knows. I haven't bothered to look into all of this, all this canon and stuff. Anyways, just a theory I came up with.
What do you guys think?
