Team Alpha
Team Alpha was a splinter group of Spartans from Red Team and included: Frederic-104, Kelly-087, and Joshua-029. Their objective was to destroy a Covenant ship that was supplying a large number of Covenant troops in a valley nearby. Joshua was KIA in the process; Fred and Kelly were locked under CASTLE base for about 3 weeks.

Team Beta
The majority of the wounded and healthy Spartans (11 total) were formed into Team Beta. Their job was to defend the generators at all costs. To compromise this mission meant the fall of Reach. Not much is known about what Team Beta did during the battle, but the generators were eventually overrun. Their stories are untold.

Team Gamma
Team Gamma was a division of Red Team which included Spartans Li-008, Anton-044, and Grace-093. It was tasked with locating and securing Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb. In reality, however, Whitcomb was more concerned about the safety of the NOVA bomb that he hoped the Covenant would take with them during their excavation of top of CASTLE base. After securing Vice Admiral Whitcomb and the bomb, Fredric-104 radioed in and told them to stay put, as the fall back was too "hot". The 3 Spartans commenced geurilla attacks on the Covenant for about 3 weeks and later regrouped with the Master Chief.

Team Delta
Team Delta were a medium sized splinter team and was made up of six Spartans and four Marines. The Spartans were those who were wounded in the jump from Pelican Bravo 001. The team was made up of William-043, Isaac-039, Vinh-030, three other Spartans, and the four Marines of Charlie Company. Will, Isaac, and Vinh made it to CASTLE base, while 3 unnamed Spartans of the team are unaccounted for. They could only fight from a fixed position, so it is unlikely we will play as them.


Well?

My choice is Team Beta. This is the most likely group we will play as, since it is the only team with at least 5 members (check the sillhouette) which could have included a Spartan-259 (and -320). Their story would be a new one so far untold.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

I agree with the assumption, or something along those lines. Personally I would love to play as Kelly if they would actually allow for her speed in-game.

I would like to have different classes no matter which Spartans we play as; Kelly doesn't necessarily have to have been the only fast Spartan... maybe S-320 was quick as well.

I'd like each spartan to behave uniquely, so I will use Beta as an example. Let's say one spartan is an acrobatic female that could perform devastating melee attacks (Jill from RE5) but has less health under her Mjolnir. You could have a sniper with a "freeze time" sniper deal, where your bread and butter infantry Spartan could carry more ammo or grenades. There's alot that could be done with the spartans, but Beta team has too many for this scenario to happen, but overall I would like to see the defense of the MAC generators.

Here's a thought; all of them?

Sure, you could make a good game out of one of these. But how about a game with all 33 Spartan's fate. That would also get a lot of people getting the game finding out there is more than one Campaign.

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.

First choice is Beta.
Then Gamma.

Then the possibility of all of them.

It would be cool to play as all of them, but again, if we did this then the story isn't really anything new... and there won't be much time to actually care about the characters if they only live for 1-2 missions.

Team Beta. Since we dont know much about them there is more room for a story.

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

Team Beta.

That would be very cool, but remember, not all of the Betas need to survive. Half of the Deltas made it to CASTLE base while the other 3 have unknown fates... the same could happen to Delta (maybe 6 perish at the generators while 5 escape?)

It'd be fun to play as your own Spartan. Like you go through training as a child and depending on the actions that you do your skills are increased for later on in the game or your specialty is determined like Kelly's speed or John's luck. It would also be fun to use you're own armor permutations in the campaign rather than Master Chief's armor. As for the name problem you could just have a nickname that you choose from a list or something. That or people call you by your service tag. But then there would have to be an enormous amount of voicing for the service tag call outs...

Oh and I choose all of them by the way.

I would rather have an array of 5 Spartans in the squad, each with a different speciality (going by the banner: strength, speed/stealth, luck/jack of all trades, close range, long range) where you could possibly hot-swap while playing campaign. Something similar was used in Brute Force and Battlefield 2: Modern Combar's campaign modes.
