I am tired of finding people on this forum who haven't read the Halo books, or at least the Fall of Reach, and think they can argue with those who have.
Have read them, and they don't "prove" that I am wrong here.
1) Sierra =/= Spartan. Sierra 259 isn't a spartan for obvious reasons. If you don't know who this Sierra 259 is, he is the guy that talked in the Halo Reach trailer, and people have been speculating that he is a spartan. First of all, 259 isn't a number for any of the spartans. The spartan IIs only went up to 150 or so, the spartan IIIs didn't exist and they had different codes anyway. Sierra can also mean sniper, special ops, or pelican pilot.
Except that in the books, more Spartan-IIs were created after GoO and were battle ready a few years before Reach. Furthermore, Sierra 259 refers to Spartans as "we", and Sierra 320 refers to a combat drop (ODSTs and Spartans are the only troops to do this). Finally, in neither the books nor the games was Sierra ever used for anything other than Spartans. Go back and read the history of the war and you will realize that the Spartan-IIIs had already existed and Alpha and Beta company were killed and Gamma was in training during the Battle of Reach. Furthermore, there have been references to a second group of Spartans that were trained starting in 2537. (It was in iLoveBees) Read up on it on Halopedia.
2) You will not be fighting as Master Chief in this game UNLESS the game is based on the entire book "The Fall of Reach." Although MC came back to Reach to save spartans, he wasn't on it when the planet was glassed. Bungie will not disturb their own storyline.
MC didn't come back to Reach until First Strike, after Halo CE. And both events at Reach were short. The game would only be like two levels if your play as MC.
3) You will not be fighting as Spartan IIIs. The spartan III program wasn't even initiated until the MC was on Earth which was during Halo 2.
GoO starts before the Battle of Reach. In fact, it starts in 2531, when the Battle of Reach is not until 2552.
4) You will not have Mark VI armor, the armor you fought in Halo 2 and Halo 3 with. This armor hasn't been developed yet. You will either be playing in Mark IV, or Mark V armor
According to FoR, Master Chief is given the Mark V armor right before the Covenant ambush the planet.
5) You will not be playing with or as Sam. He died before the battle of Reach, in fact, he was the first spartan to be killed. He was killed after the spartan's first encounter with the covenant and he was killed when the covenant ship was destroyed.
Don't forget Malcolm. People have been claiming that he will be playable in the game, but he dies when Red Team's Pelican crashes into the planet.
I might add more in the future depending on what I see, but honestly guys, keep this in mind before posting...
1) Most of your theories aren't any more valid than some other theories.
2) There will always be people who don't know what they are talking about. You can't really fix it.
