I'm xAssault12x, and I love the Halo Universe. Discussion please!

These guys have read all the books and official Halo Cannon. These guys do a pretty good job. I think they are right about most everything they say about the trailer.

I never saw that spartan falling toward reach before. That's pretty interesting.

I never saw it either. That is why I posted this vid. There are many cool things they talk about or point out.

I agree. I just posted this so that people who have not seen it might see this and watch the video.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I agree that the character in space is probably James but I definitely do not believe that there was a second class of Spartan IIs. The second wave was scrapped because Halsey's funds were being used on Project MJOLNIR and there weren't enough candidates.

I don't think our questions about whom the main character are will be answered until Bungie actually comes out and tells us. I think we will find out a lot about this game at next years E3.

Hopefully yeah. I just hope that they don't put us in the shoes of a completely new character that we don't know about at all.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

I don't think there was a second group of Spartan II's. I read in the books that the idea was scraped because of Dr. Halsey's strict screening process. It made it impossible to find as many candidates as she wanted, so they closed the project.

This is true but Bungie could allways just say that the details of a second group never became known to the Spartans or any of us. It would require them to fudge the details a little but I wouldn't mind.

Maybe. But they did spend a lot of time making sure the story of the books wouldn't mess up any future stories in video games. Oh well I guess we'll find out for sure in Fall 2010.

Yes but at the graduation of the first class, I think it was, Chief Mendez left imediatly to train another group of spartans and I think it was before the time of him training the spartan III's I'm going to check later
Nevermind. According to http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPARTAN-II, there was a second wave of Spartan II's in 2537.
Class II

After the graduation of the first class of SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, Dr. Halsey began planning for the next wave of Spartans; her efforts, however, ran into problems. There were too few candidates that were in sync with her age restriction protocol and a majority of her funding was going towards MJOLNIR maintenance and construction; leaving little room for continued training efforts. By 2531, the majority of her funds had been diverted and she was forced to postpone the effort indefinitely.[2]

However in 2537, children were conscripted into the SPARTAN-II Program,[3] trained, and went under the augmentation procedures; it is unknown how many may have survived the augmentation process, or how much time Dr. Halsey spent with them, or if she was involved.

The following is the list of all currently known, or rumored SPARTAN-II subjects conscripted in 2537.

* Yasmine Zaman - Died from complications in Augmentation.
* SPARTAN-259 - KIA/MIA Battle of Reach: 2552
* SPARTAN-320 - KIA/MIA Battle of Reach: 2552

That makes a whole new window open up to me. (If someone already said this sentence I'm about to say, I'm sorry for repeating it)This could mean they are doing something like what ODST is, you know what happened at Reach until Master Chief left, so maybe it tries to tell a story that is after it. I haven't read The Fall of Reach so I'm not sure how much we do know from the book.

Canon can be bended.

Im thinking that they put the word out that there was no second wave of Spartans, and made at least a small team in complete secret, like the Spartan II program was supposed to be the first time around.

Yasmine is from ILoveBees which is non-canon and 259 and 320 are just assumed to be Class II's. There's more proof against them then there is for them which is why I don't believe they exist. Of course there is the possibility that they exist but I reckon it would be kinda dumb.

Cannon can be bended. That right there is the single most important sentence in this thread. Old cannon can be made to fit the needs of new cannon. Things that were only mentioned in passing in the books can be played with and manipulated very easily. If it is not rock solid unmoveable Halo Universe Fact then it can be bent into whatever shape Bungie wants it to be.
