Subject: Read the books..

The characters(spartans) in the Reach pic are likely, from left to right, Sam, Fred, John(MC), Kelly, and Linda. They match the appearance and even the weapons of the characters from the book Halo:Fall of Reach. And for all the people saying the books weren't made by bungie, that doesn't help your arguement. The books were written based off of the "Halo Bible" which was put together by Bungie. If you would like to know more about this game, stop listening to crazy theories like time travel and the planet at the end of halo 3 was Reach cause its bull. Go buy the books and read up.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Then who are Spartan-259 and -320?

Seira 259 etc doesn't mean they are spartans.

They say "We have spartans on the ground were not going anywhere." This does not mean they are spartans as some people believe. The person speaking could be simply a marine, stating that him and the rest of the marines arent going anywhere because spartans have joined the fight.

If you read the books, you'll know that Sam was dead long before this.

"If you read the books, you'll know that Sam was dead long before this."

Not necessarily, The pic doesn't imply he fought the battle. Its just there silhouettes in front of reach. All 5 of the listed spartans had been on the planet many times. The fall of reach is likely toward the end of the game.

Hi, I am the White Mamba Overlord of our group the ODSM.
We are not a clan, and we don't play the game for competition. Instead we play for fun, and to hang out with friends. If you are interested in joining go to our group homepage and sign up. Membership is open.
We are mostly a Halo 3: ODST group for help with achievements and stuff, but we also will play a lot of Halo 3 matchmaking.

That is true. Although we have know idea when the game starts. For all we know "From the begining you know the end" could mean that we start off at the beginning of the human-covenant war... This is unlikely, but my point is that we have no clue when the game starts till bungie says so.

They never fought on Reach until it was invaded... Sam wasn't anywhere near Reach after he got his MJOLNIR, he was at a different world and died on a mission right after he got it. Fred also wasn't Blue Team, but Kurt was.

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Bit late mentioning this but the suits arent really canon either, well as far as we know all Spartans had the same armour (Mjolnir) but obviously slightly different sizes, so i dont know why they are all different.

Like i said before, its just a silhouette. Its not them actually standing on the planet. The Game is Halo: Reach thus having Reach in the background, and the main characters would be shown in front of that background. It doesn't actually imply they fought at or were even on reach.

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

You seemed to be more informed then OXM at least.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

It could be Black Team?

  • 08.25.2009 1:44 PM PDT

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.

Was Linda the only sniper in all the Spartans? Was Fred the only Spartan to use a knife? Was Kelly the only female Spartan with a petite body? Was Samuel the only Spartan with an above average body size?

I dont know exactly what to call it, but it has something to do with spaggetti, duct tape and razor blades...

Isn't there a Halopedia site that could answer all these questions? The books are a good read, though. I'll have to run through them again before this releases.
