Sorry, I managed to put in the wrong title, the poll was supposed to be a side-point! And now, for obvious reasons, it cannot be edited, unless Bungie had some way..?

Intended Title: Halo: Reach - Blue Team (Book Descriptions).

From what I've seen thus far, in other areas of this forum, no-one has actually, in one post, submitted the book descriptions of the suspected Blue Team squad (listed below), this surprised me greatly! Especially considering the oh-so-compelling evidence that it is them featured in the banner!


Far Left:
Sam

Second from Left:
Kelly

Middle:
John

Second from Right:
Frederic

Far Right:
Linda

And here, for those that want a close-up, is the banner.

Book Descriptions:

SPARTAN-104, Frederic, twirled a combat knife, his fingers nimble despite the bulky MJOLNIR combat armor that encased his body. The blade traced a complicated series of graceful arcs in the air. The few remaining Naval personnel on the deck turned pale and averted their eyes - a Spartan wielding a knife was generally accompanied by the presence of several dead bodies.

Over the next few days I will submit the rest to you, or you can feel free to submit them directly to me sooner, for the good of the community, so they may be incorporated into this OP.

P.S: I voted for "Yes, of course"!

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Doubt it. When the mission on Reach started, Blue team only consisted of three members, and all of them were in space.

The other option, for me, is that the banner represents five potential classes, with the inspiration coming from Blue Team.

Sam: The tank, slow but powerful and damn near invulnerable!
Kelly: The faster, but weaker warrior.
John: Above average in all fields, but not brilliant in anything.
Frederic: Close-quarters-combat specialist.
Linda: Long-range weapons' specialist.

Blue Team was occupied with things that wouldn't really make a great game during the Fall of Reach, so I'm guessing it's not Blue Team. I could be wrong, however. =/

Yeah, John, Linda and James(not sure if it was James, correct me if I'm wrong) were blue team on Gamma Station, which just happens to be the Halo 3 map Orbital...

Sam is dead he died in fall of reach on a covie ship so I don't think it is but maybe we'll just have to wait and see on that

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Fred wasn't Blue Team but Kurt was.

I doubt it. Sierra-259 seems to take a focal point in this, and the trailer only focuses on the actual fall (conquest) of Reach, groundside. Blue Team saw no combat ground-side, and Fred/Kelly were never with a Spartan-259.

My guess is we will take control of Spartan-259, a member of Team Beta, and lead 4 other Spartans to try and stop the Covenant from finding something that they deem important, which may turn the tide of war.

Maybe it will be (lightly) squad based like how the Spartans were meant to operate like in the novels or maybe it will be more like ODST where we try to find out what happened to 4 other survivors from Team Beta.
