Lets assume the Spartans on the banner above aren't John-117's Blue Team. After taking some examinations on their builds and armor styles, I have crafted some unoffical names for them. The names lead from left to right.

1. Samson- In the Bible, something Bungie might have used to craft some of Halo's story, Samson was a large, strong man. Look at the figure of the Spartan. He looks large and strong. Fitting eh?

2. Wilma- The figures armor seems rather slim and for a women, possibly to reduce wind resistence in combat. It seems like it would be great for running. Wilma Rudolph was a female US track athelete who won plenty of gold medals in the Olympics. Seems fitting as well.

3. Bruce. I hope many of you understand by know. If not, read around the Reach forums and you will find the mysterious Spartan cut from Halo 2. I think.

4. Jason- This fellow is holding a knife and is probably handy with it. Seems like a horror icon most of us know. Granted Voorhees has a machette, but its still a bladed weapon like a knife.

5. Tania- In the Soviet Union, they deployed fermale snipers and this Spartan seems feminine and a sniper. Tania Chernova was one of the more famous snipers in the former USSr.


Obviously I don't think these should be the names of the SPartans up top, but do you think they are rather fitting?

Bruce is just a joke; in the Halo 2 E3 Demo, Cortana says "Chief! Brutes!" when the Brute boards the warthog, but it sounds like she says "Chief! Bruce!"

I know, just throwing it in there for a decent laugh. Of course he does seem like a Bruce to me......

I believe that it goes in accordance from Sam, to Kelly, to John, to (I don't know this one), to Linda.

Calling the tall one Samson would be weird because you'd have people saying "hay look this like the all of reach bcuz it has sam in it he is tall sparten" or "hey look i have theroy samson sam son sams son sam has son named samson i think u see my point"

But the names do sound pretty solid (aside from Wilma, I could foresee lots of jokes coming from that, especially if we see Fred in the game).

Like I said, assuming they aren't Master Chief's Blue Team.

I think Fred would be the one with the knife, but I'm not sure. Let me check.

That wouldn't really make sense since those Spartans didn't fight together in the battle of Reach, and S-259 seems like he will be the player-character... and he wasn't with Fred/Kelly in CASTLE base, or with John/Linda in space. And Sam died over 2 decades before the battle of Reach...

Why do you think that? Sam was dead at the battle of Reach (event in the trailer), John/Linda didn't fight alongside Fred/Kelly, who didn't fight alongside an S-259 or -320...

They all fit the descriptions though, and it doesn't matter whether or not they fought alongside each other, it's just a picture. But, for the descriptions, Sam was the larger and taller Spartan, Kelly was the smaller one, although she was incredibly fast, John was the leader, hence why he's at the middle, and then there's Bruce, who had good prowess with the combat knife, and then Linda, who was an expert at the Sniper Rifle.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

But they're not wearing the standard armor which those Spartans wore.. also, Sam didn't have to be the only Spartan taller than the Chief... Kelly was never described as being small, John wore the standard armor, Fred was never described as having a n individual prowess with the combat knife, and Linda wore the standard armor... and who would S-259 be?

Since he took the main point in the trailer, I would assume he is the player character, so that would be him in the middle... and John/Fred were always the squad leaders, so the other 4 would naturally be new Spartans as well (-320?) under the command of -259.

How the hell do you know that they're not wearing the standard armor?

Look at a large version of the image, the shape of the armor is different to what we have seen with the standard Mk V armor.

It also doesn't appear to match up with standard Mark VI or the Mark IV from Halo Wars (assuming that was Mark IV armour, it could be a specialised varient or something similar).
