no, they aren't. by the way, do all spartans have different size armor or different armor types? no. they are deffinitly marines.


Unless you are a Bungie employee, you can't assure 100% if they are Marines or Spartans, but my guesses are, those are Spartans, only cause they are the whole point in the game, to play as a Spartan.

I'm not even sure if all of the Bungie people knew about it.

I guarantee you they are Spartans.

They certainly are not Marines, nor ODSTs.
Who else is there?

Spartans aren't confined to their MJOLNIR armor 24/7 you know.

SPartans don`t fight outside MJOLNIR armor unless absolutely necessary.

the only one who looks anything like a spartan is the one on the left.

Halo 3`s armor permetuations have no canonical history from any of the games or books, so if they do not like like entirely Mark V (yes, they did not have Mark VI at the time) armor, it is unlikely that they are spartans.

I actually agree with you. when i first saw that I thought "awww, only one spartan"

Then all these threads came up and I believed them because thats what i wanted to believe. but they just dont look like spartans (apart from the huge one on the left)

Most people are saying that its sam and have made brilliant suggestions to why he could be included in reach, but tbh, im not convinced.

I can only hope and pray that bungie aren't making a star wars battllefront style game. that would ruin the series.

On the other hand..... What if they are spartans?

This is my actual profile.

Ok the character with the sniper is Linda. The short one Kelly. The middle John. The big one Sam( I think). The one next to Linda is Fred( Mark and Sam might be switched.)

Cmon people read the books Linda is the teams Sniper. Kelly the fastest Spartan. Fred is always wanting to be the one that commands the team so he has to look like John. Sam dies in there first space op so I can't really explain on him, but he did take alot of plasma to him before he died.

So... much... wrong.

Mark is actually Fred. Fred doesn't like to be in the spotlight so he takes second place. You are mistaking Will and James. Will is big; James gets his arm burnt off and dies in the space op in orbit over Reach.

Just because its on the Cover of a Book does not mean that Bungie will follow it.
there were no such things as armor permutations when the First Halo Novel was written.
It has since become more common for each squad to have their own armor for the specific task their are responsible for.

Don't expect the current Cannon to stay intact. It won't.

Ya that and those Spartans are just photo copyed from Halo: Combat Evolved.

They are probably Spartans. From left to right, my guess is:

Unnamed Spartan, Spartan-320, Spartan-259, Unnamed Spartan, Unnamed Spartan.

  • 07.20.2009 1:33 PM PDT

That's master chief and his squad. There was a girl Spartan in his squad too.

Kelly the fastest Spartan in the program and Linda a sniper better then god.

I don't know if Cannon is reliable.
But Linda went with Chief to Threshold. She was not a part of Blue Team. (who fought on Reach).

Tank beats Ghost!
Tank beats Hunters!
Tank beats Everything!!!

I really do hope it's Blue team - Choice of character would be good, Frederic 104 ^^ Oh yes.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

no, they aren't. by the way, do all spartans have different size armor or different armor types? no. they are deffinitly marines.
How do you know that MJOLNIR armor is one size fits all?

Yes actually they do, the armor is custom fitted to each Spartan, and as all of them are not the same size, naturally the armor must be scaled up or down to fit the appropriate Spartan. Do you honestly think that Sam would wear the same armor size as Kelly or Linda? Gimme a break.
