I hope they have more than the ones shown in the picture above
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.
I've read First Strike already. What are you trying to imply?

Also: after looking at MLG Cheehwawa's post linked in this thread, he knows his stuff. If you want a pretty thick rundown as well as his own personal speculations, I suggest you read his thread. My cursory glance made me grin. I'm happy to see someone else that enjoys the Halo Universe as much as I do.

If you've read the book, then you would know what I am implying. Master Chief was not the only Spartan to survive Reach.

Also, referring to the numbering of the Spartans in the video that was released: this just raises another area for speculation. Your idea of there being other possible Spartans is feasable. Heck, look at the Spartan III project.

In the introduction to "Armor Testing" which is a section of the Halo Graphic Novel, they state that they "...wanted something that linked directly to the game, but would also make sense without that bridge...But the idea that the Mjolnir/Spartan-II project was bigger than John-117, that dear old Ma-117 didn't just knit him that suit of Mark V Mjolnir Assault Armor when he was wee bairn, is something that never came across very well in the games - and at times - seemed to be at direct odds with other aspects of the fiction." This raises my eyebrow in wondering how they could have used other Spartans to help in the creation of the Mark IV armor. If you have read the literature, you know normal humans could not use the armor. Could it have been the others that survived with Dr. Halsey, or could there have been others as you suggest? Is that a little nugget of information we can gleam from the video?
