No need to push your ultimate halo knowledge, some people can't ask questions I guess. Anyway, as was said earlier, some spartans still remained on Reach.

US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

They're Spartan-IIs.

Wait a minute i thought that the first few platoons of S-III's were out and about BEFORE Reach, of course i may be wrong...again...

I think you may be right, wasn't the S-III program a flop though?

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.”

Who said when the game actually starts?

The reveal trailer looks like the very beginning of the battle, and all of the spartans stationed on Reach were alive.

So if the campaign starts from the beginning (A la Halo 2's campaign) then there would be a lot.

And the story would be about 1/4 told if it began after the planet was glassed....

"Everything works itself out. The only thing that matters is whether you want it to or not."

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

These Spartans are still alive because the Battle of Reach hasn't occurred yet.... The game starts off at the beginning of the Battle of Reach, not after.
