no, they aren't. by the way, do all spartans have different size armor or different armor types? no. they are deffinitly marines.
I try not to insult, but youre an idiot.

Spartans are not Clones. Theyre individual people. Different skin, different genders, different hieghts, different weights.

Of course there spartans.. not every spartan is gonna be exactly the same.. take Halo 3 for example.. the online had a few different armors as well.

Most of what you have said is right apart from the fact that master chief never set foot on reach when the fighting was going on and they did have thier armor in this battle I think the one in the middle is fred but i may be wrong
Good point but the battle of reach was short lived was it not? Worlds shortest campain mode ever. You drop in you fight for 15 mins. You get glassed. Game over. Could the game actually cover multiple missions up to the fall of Reach? Will you be 117? Will you be another of the random numbers mentioned in the story? There were more than a whole platoon worth of Spartans that we know nothing about. Lastly, just because the game is called Reach doesn't meen you will be in the final battle during the fall of Reach. When reading the novel you weren't there either. And as for all the talk of the picture well I'll leave you to ponder who they are but notice there are a couple of them wearing boonie caps. Was that standard Spartan issue?

A segment of Reach (where the Spartans were) was unglassed for at least a week after the invasion. We saw the first hour in the novels, from a limited perspective. We don't know what the other Spartans did in that time. But here is my take on it.

THE GAME

Posted by: Jericho VI
what if those characters are marines? they dont even look as though they have spartan armor. and the person who is crouched, that looks like a ODST head. The short person between the really big person and the so-called "master chief" looks like a female marine.

i mean, wouldn't it be cool to fight alongside a spartan? that big tall guy, look at the top of his head! and even his shoulders and whatnot. Thats E.O.D. armor. and the so-called master chief, that helmet looks like one of the ODST heads in the concept art for ODST. and the same for the guy with the knife.

am i right on this? they dont even look like spartan sillouettes.

*facepalm*

I'm one with the warrior inside. The evidence can't be denied. The entire world will stare. Into this battlefield tonight. As I stand before you with a warrior's heart now. I can feel the strength that will Ensure my victory this time

First of all Sam died almost 20 years prior to the Battle of Reach. It is possible that the short spartan is Maria (she didnt wear armor). John and Linda were at Halo during the first part of the battle of Reach. And remember Mendez went on to train the spartan-II class 2.

do u honestly think that every spartan would be the same size? god obviously didnt gift u with intelligence, u probably hadnt read the books so u wouldnt know about the older armor that the big guy is sam wearing his mark IV armor, the armor he died in, the mark IV armor was much bigger then later armors, and the short one is probably kelly, she was supposed to have been extremelly tiny, she would be about the height of a regular human, which is small compared to a spartan. and also the ODST helmet doesnt have mjolnmir helmets visor which all of their helmet clearly have

This is my actual profile.

Linda did fight with them on reach. She was the team's sniper. I think I don't want to re-read the damn book again.

during the fall of reach there were both spartans and marines in the ground. and 117 was not one of them according to the books. however, not all the games have been going directly by the books. there are things that have been left out. if this does go by the book, then it could be a mix of marines and spartans. and that while they were on reach they got an armor upgrade, so that might explain why they look diff. as for fred or sam being bigger, sam was, but he died imediatly after getting his MJOLNIR armor. as for 295, your guess is as good as mine. if you feel bashed by this post, I am sorry that wasn't the objective. I just wanted to put something in.

1st of all the ppl in that picture are spartans second of all sam died over 20 years b4 this and 3rd of all master chief never went to reach (at least not until after halo 1) 4rth of all kelly was stated as being "tall" so shes not short but she was on reach she will probably be in the game fifth your character is going to die in the end unless u play as one of the main ones (which i highly doubt)
sixth linda wasnt on reach either she "died" helping teh master chief with his mission (later revived)

You quite obviously have not read the books.

Was it Sam or Fred who was the largest, even stated by master chief himself in reach.

Kelly and Linda, prime examples of female spartans.


sam never made it to reach
