I've wathched the Halo: Reach trailer over and over and I also made it the backgroung to my labtop, and every time i look at it I wonder who are the five indivduals in the picture?

Most likely Spartans, but the armor doesn't look like MJOLNIR MK 5. They could pull a COD4 and play as different people from different forces. Spartan, Marine, Pilot, that kinda biz.

Well i was thinking about the book fall of reach and the stand the last spartans did trying to defefend reach, and how many died, but the ones that did survive are those the people in the picture? Just a little theary I cooked up.

Fall of Reach barely touches on the Battle of Reach, mostly the space confrontation. The ground-side battle is explained in First Strike. It's hard to say which Spartans are the ones in the image, but we know they're Spartans.

Sorry had my books mixed up, but my theary is more hopes than any facts. The battles fought sounded like something I would like the play in a game.

My guess, from left to right:

Chee is right, most people don't understand that it doesn't have to be the Spartans we know and love. This game can be a parallel subplot, that expands the universe even more.

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

how would you know if they are spartans? they all look different from eachother the spartans all looked alike..also get a good like at the one with the sniper he has a marine back pack...

why would the spartans abandon there armor for the marines armor?

Signatures are for squares.

I think I've got the best guess, it's on the front page of the forum.

It's the 53 page thread. :)

Well, the fact that the final statement in the trailer purposely defines "Spartan," amongst other things, and they all looked alike, but were not alike. Variations in size were normal, but they were all generally a certain size, differentiating doesn't seem like a problem to me, it adds more depth to the character. Why do you assume it's a Marine backpack? It could very well be a satchel for explosives or other equipment.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with some of your assumptions.

My guess, and I've read a lot of posts stating the same for most of these, starting from the left are:

William, Kelly, Fred, Isaac and Vinh

Reason being is they all made it to CASTLE base on Reach and found the Forerunner crystal and all that. Would be a good stroy to follow that group.

The Spartans had different armor types. Group Omega in Halo Wars had a different type of Mk IV armor (in The Fall of Reach, Mk IV was described as identical to the Halo 1 armor, but with a smaller "backpack"). Grey Team had CQB Mk IV armor on the cover of The Cole Protocol. Some of the Spartans on Red Team may have had permutations (though you are right that Fred, Kelly, and the other known ones were all described as having the normal armor, and Kelly is on the cover of GoO in her Mk V from after the battle of Reach, and she looks just like the Chief, so she's not the small one).
