Come on, just for fun. They don't have energy shields and only beat the ODSTs with their augmentations, but they can be toned down to be balanced out with ODSTs. Johnson has VISR without an actual visor, after all. Besides, thinking about it this would be the only game where it would actually make sense to play as them, since they don't have energy shields and they aren't as tough as Spartan IIs. So basically the SPI armour is just there for show, like the Halo 3 armour permutations. If there is a game where Spartan IIIs should come in playable form, this is it. Don't waste your chance Bungie, bring these legends into Firefight!

Anyone agree with me?

It would be neat. Especially if it became relevant to the story somehow. Magically.

Another company was secretly trained without Kurt's knowledge in another location and they were sent to defend Earth? Something along those lines maybe.

Wouldn't really matter that much if Bungie just brought them in Firefight without an explaination anyway. Johnson is in Firefight and the time of Halo 3 ODST would put him on Delta Halo with the Chief.

That's not needed, most of Gamma Company shipped out from Onyx before it was attacked, I think it's very likely they could be fighting at Reach, or Earth. Secretly of course, away from the rest of the UNSC's eye.

Nope. Just like the Halo 3 armour permutations, the SPI suit would be for just simply show. So basically anything the ODSTs did and didn't have, the Spartan IIIs did and didn't have.

Really? I was reading through the book and I was under the impression that the Sentinels attacked while Gamma was on a training mission, and they destroyed the only UNSC ship there, while also killing most of Gamma Company.

Halopedia says...

"These Spartans received deployment orders only a few weeks after The Battle of Reach, and many left Onyx before the Battle of Onyx occurred."

Perhaps not Reach then, but very possibly Earth.

That could be one of his lines. XD

Possibly. I dunno how they would manage to survive long though, without any support from the UNSC.

Why people vote no on polls like this i will never know ? More armors in firefight would be awesome and if you dont want to play as a spartan 3 then dont. Seriously voting no on this is pointless.

  • 08.05.2009 8:30 PM PDT

-The Big Boss-

it looks almost exactly the same as EVA and EVA is an ugly helmet so NO

EVA won't be in ODST though, considering you play as ODSTs, and not Spartan IIs. However, since Spartan IIIs are much weaker than Spartan IIs, they can be used in Firefight.

I don't see the point either. I'm always thinking the more the better when it comes to things like armour. I only included the option because people would complain that I didn't otherwise. But there's no winning with some people, first they complain they can't play as Spartans, we come up with the solution of playing as Spartan IIIs which are weaker than Spartan IIs and could be balanced out to be the same as ODSTs, then they won't have that. There's no pleasing some people, lol

It would be cool, but it really wouldnt fit.

A. Non-canon
B. The Arbiter could use active camo in Halo 2, but not in Halo 3. It would still be the same gameplay, just a different look.
