Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

No one knows. I would like to see a lot though, maybe some dead Spartans, maybe some Spartan-III's. Who knows.

Only Bungie :D

I don't think so, I believe most of the "Spartan" helmets are based off of Marine helmets.

Recon is that girl's helmet, not a Spartan helmet, ODST is an ODST's helmet, not a Spartan helmet, I am willing to bet that a lot of those Spartan helmets belong to marines, like specialized marines.

I hope we get to see some of those marines though.

I hope we get to see spartans going through the training process, I hear it is crucial and that some spartans even died in the process

I just want to know who the hulking monster with the giant shoulders is on the left hand side.

Well assuming the five spartans are part of Team Beta (See Halo: Fall of Reach) they would be Fred, Kelly, Vinh, Isaac, and Will

As far as i can remember fred is meant be a clear foot taller than your average spartan

There will be more than the 5 pictured in the banner on the Planet. Whether you come across others is another matter.

The Spartans in the banner (left to right) are (in my opinion):
Sam, Kelly, John (Master Chief), Fred and Linda.

This is explained in detail here.

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Agreed
The cinematic in Halo Wars with the 3 Spartans ripping it up was AWESOME!! if they do anything like that in Halo: Reach (mean more than 1 Spartan going rambo at one time) it will be almost orgasmic .... almost.

Campaign wise I'd like to see a mission where there are tons of Spartan's and dead ones but then the live die...?
Hopefully multiplayer has tons of more customization and unlockables then Halo 3

Well you really should read the books instead of letting us do all the work for you. Unless you can't read.

I read in the halo 1 leaflet thing (the one that comes with the game) and it said all the spartans died on reach except MC

I think it might be set in that time

(so ther'll probably be quiet alot!)

Arthur C. Clarke

I really hope that will make some large battel whit hordes of Covenant, -blam!- that would be crazy as hell and that you fight not only whit the squad (Fred, Kelly, Vinh, Isaac, and Will if it will them that you will play) and other squads of spartans. I heard on http://www.ign.com/ that they said it might be another wave of spartans that might show up in Halo reach. Still it´s only rumors.

As stated in Halo: The Fall of Reach, another plan for the entire group of Spartans was planned and they had just started on their way when a distress signal came out from Reach. The squad was split up into two groups. MC, Linda, and James went off on what they considered the most dangerous of the two missions because it was in a zero-gravity environment, whereas the rest were sent to Reach because Spartans ALWAYS won on the ground. You may or may not see Linda or James. I hope this encounter is part of the beginning of the game.

Master Chief believed himself to be the only Spartan to live after the incidents of First Strike, but this is not the case.

The remaining Spartans were dropped to the surface on a hot burn, ODST style. Helljumpers do not always make it. This would also make another awesome beginning to a level in this game. This would also bring up another question in my mind: would we be able to hone in on the specific Spartan's strengths and/or weaknesses? Will we play as ODSTs for part of the game?

The fight will be amazing, if anything like depicted in the book. Perhaps we will see the face of Dr. Halsey? The beginning of this fight will hopefully be amazing and action packed. The jobs the Spartans were given should make for interesting fights.

I don't have the time to check dates. It is possible to find the dates of these battles and compare them to dates listed on helmets in the information listed in Halo 3 to determine if certain helmets could possibly be used. If so: Would the helmet change a certain aspect of gameplay depending on the Spartan you could possibly be playing as? Certain Spartans preferred particular gear. Linda was a sniping expert and customized her rifle. By my own guess, judging by the header picture in this forum, each Spartan character will have unique equipment, with different subtleties.

The specifics of who is in Gray team are given in the book The Cole Protocol. As far as the timeline is concerned, it took place before the events at Reach. They consisted of Adriana-111, Jai-106, and Mike. They operated on covert missions alone, therefore are probably left out of this game.

Another team mentioned, Green team, could also be part of this game.

As far as the implications of Spartan III's in this game, that would be impossible. They were implemented and used after the fall of Reach. They were kept a secret. This also means Kurt will not be involved. Read The Ghosts of Onyx for more details.

Since MC always led Blue team, we are most likely left with the other option we've been shown in the book: Red team. Which segment(s) of Red we will see is unknown. It is also possible MC will make an appearance and be playable in Reach.

There are alot of questions that we won't be able to answer or even make educated guesses on until Bungie clues us in with more hints. They've been known to be very subtle, so I'm sure fans like myself will be scocuring any media put out for anything.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Well 30 were present at the Battle of Reach. 3 stayed in space, so I doubt we will see them outside of the opening cinematic. 27 fell to the surface, so that's the highest number we will see, unless bungie retcons something.

That doesn't make any sense. They weren't with a S-259 or an S-320. We would more likely play as these new Spartans whose stories are completely untold... so far.

All Halo 3 multiplayer armour is canon to the story, so yes, some spartans wear a helmet that looks like an ODST helmet

Actually, 30 were onboard The Pillar of Autumn before the battle began. The three members of the then formed Blue team went on the zero-grav mission, but MC ended up back on Reach. That changes the number to 28. Then you have to subtract the losses stated on the drop from orbit to Reach, so the number is less than that. I've also stated two other teams mentioned in the Halo literature: Grey and Green team. Also in the Halo Graphic novel, Maria-062 is stated as having left the Spartan program and was in the "reserves." She tested the suit before MC got it on Cairo Station immediately before the events of Halo 2. She mentions him as "MCPO John-117? John from Reach John?" I don't know if this means she was there, or heard about it otherwise, but she is also possibly part of the numbers of Spartans in the game.

Just to answer the question posed in the subject of this thread: We cannot currently determine how many Spartan-II's will be on the ground.

I've given you a vast amount of information to begin speculation with. I own all of the Halo novels currently out, and have read them all more than once with the exception of The Flood. I played the campaign of Halo: CE so much I feel I knew that book before I read it.
