Subject: Give me a logical reason why REACH is NOT about Spartan IIIs

Because Bungie said so.....

Give me one and I'll tell you why it's wrong. If I don't respond, message me.

Why not just enlighten us right away?

Because unless Ackerson was making a seperate unit of S-III's away from Onyx, there were no S-III's to send. Add to that the fact that S-III's are a strike force, not a response force, and would not have been able to mobilize in the time frame Reach was being assaulted. Add to that the fact that the man in charge of the S-III's has a deep seeded hatred for Halsey and anything to do with her S-II's, and the fact that the S-III's don't exist mean that he couldn't be forced to push them into the battle.

There you go, please convince me why i'm wrong.

Signatures are for squares.

Spartan III's cost much less the Spartan II's, could be trained faster, and didn't use the costly MJOLNIR armor. These Spartan IIIs could be "produced" in bulk, since they didn't go through as many risky genetic augmentation processes. Since Halsey wasn't on board with this project, they are not class II's.

While we are on the Spartan III subject, I'm going to point out why it is impossible for Spartan IIIs to be a part of this game.

Reach was invaded August 30th, 2552.

All of Alpha company was killed in 2537
All of Beta Company was killed in 2545, except for Tom and Lucy, who went on to train Gamma.
Gamma company didn't receive orders to move off of Oynx until October 2552, After Reach had fell. And Even if Some of Gamma was at Reach (no clue how they would of gotten there) they have different call signs, such as "Ash - G099"


Enough with the Spartan III's.

The only reason that SPARTAN II's are there is because they were getting ready to do the mission to end the war and force a treaty. Seeing that SPARTAN III's aren't part of this mission, there is no reason for them to be there.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Because every single Spartan III is accounted for in this time frame?

Because the spartans identify themselves as, "Sierra". All Spartan IIIs identify themselves by taking the first letter of their company name, followed by their unit number.. Example A321. These Spartans identify themselves as Sierra.

Spartan II's were sent down to Reach in an attempt to save it. So I don't see why it can't be.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Allow me to answer your question, with a question: Why don't you give us a logical reason why Spartan III's will be in Halo: Reach?

The Spartans were mobilized due to their proximity, it's not like they were off system and got called back to save Reach in a ground engagement. They were there in an attempt to capture a Covenant vessel, not engage in ground manuevers, that's just what ended up happening.

Planet Onyx is not close to Reach, they are in different star systems. S-III's would not be mobilized for something like this. It was never anticipated as a ground battle, and the S-III's weren't made for that purpose anyway.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Spartan-IIIs saw no combat on Reach. Alpha was wiped out, Beta was wiped out except for two members which remained on Onyx to train the next batch. Gamma Company was on Onyx until around October 23 (after ODST happens) whereas Reach fell August 30 (about a month before Halo 1 happens)

S-III's were made to go on suicide missions basically. or for the not so smart people out there they were made to ATTACK IMPOSSIBLE TARGETS AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR LIVES.
and Reach wus a surprise attack by the COVENANT so we were on the defensive end. Plus by the time the S-III's would have gotten there anyway the planet probably would have been glassed already so please just drop this thread enough is enough just pick up the book and read it what is in the book is in the book NOTHING else. got it? good.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Well, S-III's all died on missions that weren't on Reach. Except 2 that were used to train gamma company. Gamma company left Onyx weeks after Reach happened.
