in halo wars one of the spartans is sparten 130 how did that happen?

It goes to 150...


it actually only went to about 35 since there was originally 150 but they cut half and 30-35 were crippled or dead after the agumentation process


Actually it did go to 150, they were all numbered when they were taken from their homes at age five or six.

WHO THE -blam!- CARES ABOUT REACH

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.”

i hate saying this but this guy speaks truth.

bungie would ONLY put that in there if it was not reach. trust me i know bungie

also the legendary ending of halo 3 is just a criptic ad of halo reach

In Halo: Reach, the blockbuster prequel to the Halo trilogy, experience the events that transpired on the planet Reach.

If Sierra-259 = SPARTAN-II 059, then Sierra-117 = SPARTAN-I 017. And John is most definitely not a SPARTAN-I.

Go here and scroll down to the Class II section. The first digit in their number does not represent the class they were in, however there is a second class to the Spartan II project that could have had more than 150 candidates.

There was a problem in your original theory. The 'second class of spartans' isn't exactly possible. Since Dr. Halsley postponed that project indefinately. And the Spartan III program initiated after reach. And with the planet not being reach, it could be Sigma Octanus IV.

While the trailer doesn't mention Reach, it does mention the Fermion scanning outpost, which was designed to detect possible incoming threats to Reach.[/quote]

It does? I'd have to check that out, but i'm sure you're right, and that is a very good point, good job man. Wouldn't have known about that anyway, but thanks.

EDIT: Could it be possible that other UNSC planets had simillar/same systems?

It would be kinda stupid for the UNSC to have just that system at Reach. But Reach is an ONI controlled planet, and if Dare is as crazy as people say she is in ODST. Then ONI at Reach would most likely give themselves that scanning outpost ONLY for themselves. Their selfish I know.

Thats true. And theres also the reference to gamma station.


Gamma station, this is Fermion RSO. Unconfirmed report of an in-system slipspace rupture.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Didn't read the main post - But I'm surprise NOBODY knows why they called Master Chief Sierra-117 it wasn't because of Spartan-I 017 that can't even make sense, the reason it was used because both sides are watching each others outgoing messages, so if the covenant heard Spartan 117 or Master Chief, they will know where the "Demon" is and attack that location.

I'm sure they don't use the same phonetic alphabet as we do today, if you ever researched the phonetic alphabet you will notice that it changes quite often. So "S" is Sierra in there phonetic alphabet.
Then why do they outright call him Master Chief if they are trying hide his identity? The Prophet Of Truth even called him "Master Chief" in this scene.

its reach if it wasnt why would it be call halo reach?plus alot of people forget the game is taking place before halo 1,when the cov first met the unsc

I'm pretty sure the battle of reach takes place in 2552 which is years after the war begins.

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.


Posted by: Duke master
Yea, that is quite the flaw in the theory, but there being a Spartan-259 wouldn't make much more sense, maybe because it was a battle where more than one type of Spartan class was taking place? So they were to adress there class? I really don't know I just went for the more reasonable answer in my eyes.

If Sierra-259 = SPARTAN-II 059, then Sierra-117 = SPARTAN-I 017. And John is most definitely not a SPARTAN-I.


there was a second class of Spartan II and we don't know how many canidates there were for this one possibly 200+ seeing as thay may have recieved more funding for this project due the the success of the original class of Spartan II

I'm watching you!

The planet IS Reach, don't try to over complicate things. How I know? Because we've seen Reach before (In the opening cutscene of Halo 2. Yes two.) and when the arbiter mentions Reach the planet we see (Reach) looks exactly like the one in the Halo Reach teaser.

  • 08.01.2009 1:12 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Near the beginning of the trailer it mentions the observation post that spotted the Covenant right before their attack on Reach. It is DEFINITELY Reach.

You can't be too sure. Its entirely speculation. Hell, it could be any of the other planets within the Epsilon Eridani system.

  • 08.01.2009 1:51 PM PDT

Don't get cocky now!

*slowly shakes head while crossing arms at OP's post*

Why do people insist on leaving common sense out of the Bungie forums? Let's just think for a second here... (some of you might have to use 10% of your brain today!)

Bungie released a teaser trailer for a new game called Halo: Reach. The planet is not earth as we can see from the geography.

Quotes have been comfirmed to be from the remote sensor station near Reach. Dialogue that occurs makes the impression that they cannot believe that the Covenant have found them already ("That's impossible, check your sources"..."there's no mistake, it's them"). In the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach it is said that the Covenant bypassed a bunch of inner colony worlds and [slipspace] jumped right to reach.

Furthermore, the explosions on the surface of the planet seem to be the failing defense of the generators that power the super Mac Cannons in Orbit.

Next, the UNSC ship cut in half diagonally in orbit seems to be like the one described in the Fall of Reach when the flagship used it's plasma lance attack by reshaping it's shield.

Finally, why would they make the planet in the trailer not be the planet the game is titled after for the first launch trailer? That would be like unveiling ODST and showing only the arbiter... it just doesnt make sense!

Use your BRAINS people!

First of all. No need to insult us. Second. Even though your speculation has serveral valid points, you can't be entirely certain that it is reach, simply because bungie hasn't confirmed or denied it.
Simply as (if I remember correctly.) bungie hasn't confirmed whether or not we will even be spartans.

  • 08.01.2009 2:14 PM PDT

Wuh----BLAM!!!

Right, the planet you see in reach trailer is the copy of the planet used for planet earth in ODST trailer.

Bungie made reach a long time ago , and they put that in halo 3 because they want , that the people "observe", thats why they put legendary ending , and when they release halo reach project the people who observe carefully understand the coincidence , and they want to make emotion and confusion hahaha i love it from bungie , but ,did u think that reach is gonna be the most extensive campaing even more that halo CE+halo 2+halo3+halo3odst+hao wars ??? I WANT THAT haha

Maybe. maybe not. The battles of reach weren't that long. So it may include some other things.. maybe serveral of the missions included in the ground campaign, hell, they may have us fly a pelican. (which I will admit, would be a bit fun.) But hopefully noone is going to go into definate proof theories.

Right. For example.... Lets say they bring back a few things from the mission in the Epsilon Eridani system, like the 'Keyes Loop'

Why would they have Sigma Octanus IV in the unveiling trailer for Halo: REACH!??? See my post above and you will be convinced it's Reach.

  • 08.01.2009 3:01 PM PDT

OMG a hunter!!!!!!!

"Reading multiple pings below the Orbital Defense Grid"-Guy in trailer.

Now I remember only Reach and Earth had a Orbital Defense Grid and this cant be Earth the land masses do not match does of Earth.

Plus its called Halo:Reach.

It doesn't have to be just Reach. After all, there wasn't even that much time on reach in the books... I think the battle only lasted a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. It could have the events leading up to reach as well. And I did read your post, by the way.
