I theorize that if we are to play spartan's in Halo: Reach, that you will play as a spartan 3, not a spartan 2 like the master chief.
There were only 150 candidates for the spartan 2 project, though only 75 were trained, and only 45 survived (12 being unfit for combat), and their IFF code's were simply "SPARTAN-117" or "SPARTAN-051", with a maximum of "SPARTAN-150".
The spartan 3 project's on the other hand had approximatley 400 candidates for each project(company's ALPHA, BETA and GAMMA), though only 300 were trained for each (except gamma with 330). Also their IFF code's were: eg:
SPARTAN-A044= An example, i could not find an IFF code for ALPHA company
SPARTAN-B292= Tom from BETA company
SPARTAN-G188= Dante from GAMMA company
With a maximum of approximatley 400 for each
So perhaps there is another spartan 3 company that was trained in secret (by ONI for example), and you play as a spartan from this company.
There were plenty of spartan 2's on reach, but their IFF code's did not rise above 150, but the spartan 3's did, also the spartan 3's had letters in their code's.
"SIERRA-259 SPARTAN'S ON THE GROUND"
"SPARTAN-S259 ON THE GROUND" perhap's?
Sorry about the wall, and like i said.... its just a theory.
