Seems to me you're seeing something that's totally invisible to my eyes.

Just because the spartan on the left may be the tallest of them doesn't instantly make the rest to small to be spartans themselves. Spartans differentiate in height, the only person who thinks otherwise is Ackerson. Ackerson right? I've read the books, just not in a long while.

But from what i've remembered Ackerson hated the Spartans, so one can assume he wouldn't care enough to have a closer look at them. By contrast Dr Hasely...Hasly....halsey...damn her name escapes me! Anyway the good doctor was able to tell one spartan from another even when they were in their armour, then again she was there every step off the way through their training and augmentation.

Hmmm, but it's still been mentioned many times before they differ in height an build, in Reach(the book) it wrote that Kelly had a "slim" frame, argh but then again she was fourteen at that time....but all sources agree that Sam was noticebly bigger than all of them, so that should indicate size differences right?

I also don't think the Spartan to the left is hugely taller than the rest. He only looks that way initially because of his shoulder pads and hlemet. If you compare him to the centre figure, he's only a few inches taller.

The last figure on the right is crouching, and by the looks of it is also about the same size as the central figure if he/she just stood up and the two figures to the immediate left and right of the central figure may be in the backround.

The figure to the right of the centre appears to be walking forwards. Figure on the left is...woah, okay. Her arm is infront of the bulky spartan to the far left, well that confuses things for me.... So if the bulky is in the backround, that means he'd beeee....a foot taller than the central figure? But remeber, spartans do vary in height.

Yeah.
Um....
yeah.

Sorry, I didn't quite get that. But, even if Spartans do vary in height, which you're right, they do, the difference in height and size won't be so different, right?

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

Does anyone know what that thing on the left next to the big guy is. It could be a turret but it looks like it might be a creature, something living perhaps?

Nope i'm pretty sure it's a turret. Tripod and everything.

Cool OK i wasn't exactly sure. Bit weird to be carrying it around with the tripod still attached.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

Why would only one of them be a Spartan? There are clearly 2 Spartans referenced in the trailer, as well as them all having the same armor on their legs and helmets with just about the exact same silhouette.

On top of that, if you read the books you would know that not all Spartans are beefy 7 foot tall meat-tanks.

Linda was only about 5 feet tall, John [Master Chief] is about 7 feet, and Sam was a head taller than John.

Even further from those things, there were at least 16 Spartans that died on reach that we know absolutely nothing about, the perfect candidates to be the characters of Halo: Reach.

If you zoom in you can tell it is a belt of ammunition, not a tripod. It isn't the same model as the Turrets we've seen, and is most likely an infantry Light Machine Gun.

Have you read the books? Don't answer I already know what you'll say.

Kelly was said to be a very fast Spartan, but was also taller than John before the augmentation process (I'm pretty sure he mentioned it). But boys do grow alot when hit with advanced puberty. But comparing Kelly's frame to other female Spartans (Adrianna and nicole the only sources) she shouldn't be that lean. When you get hopped up on steroids you become pretty muscular. She is very tiny for someone who had biological augmentations. MJOLNIR may take general bulk from appearing but it still has to be the correct size to fit around the Spartan. Kelly could be smaller than other female Spartan but John never stated she was shorter than anyone else.

The Kelly thing wasn't pointed at you. You're right though, Linda was good with a Sniper, but generally all Spartans were better than Marines with any guns. Making connections to Spartans by using guns isn't very sound. It's a general team. Heavy gunner, Sniper, Infantry, Spy, and idiot with a knife.

but just look at the armor. there is almost no doubt that they are spartans. look at the legs and helmets

good point

True, the armor is all identical. The figure could still be a Spartan. I think there was a Spartan mentioned in the books that was shorter than the rest. It may have been Vinh or Grace.

damn. im just excited for this game. haha
i wanna know who that spartan is on the very left. hes huge!

  • 07.02.2009 9:29 AM PDT

People can't just wait for the game to come out. Lol. Nobody knows what this games about, and the chance that anyone's theroy is completly accurate is fairly low. The only think we know is:
1. This comes before Halo CE.
2. It is a FPS.
3. Could Possibly have some Natal in it.

We don't even know whos the protoganist.
For all we know we can be the freaking rookie from ODST.
It's not even confirmed that your playing as Spartan 259 or let alone who the hell he is.
My point, theroys are theroys, and his theroy is as good as yours.

  • 07.02.2009 9:37 AM PDT

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

they have the same armor mostly, look at the knee areas and shoulders, also that dude on the left isnt a elite i guess cause its clear he is facing bottom left of him

God, people. I don't want to curse but -blam!-. Don't you guys read the posts I've made. I've read the -blam!- book. I know that there is more than one -blam!- Spartan on the ground. I know that the -blam!- trailer also mentioned Spartans, with a -blam!- S.

But god dammit people, I'm not denying the fact that there would be more than one Spartan in the game. I'm just saying that those five people are not all -blam!- Spartans.


Sighs... I'm sorry. Its just you people...
