Subject: An analysis of Sierra 259 (not definitively a Spartan)

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Of course it's not proof. But:

"This is Sierra 259, you've got Spartans on the ground sir. We aren't going anywhere."

strongly suggests that Spartan-II Class 2s will be the central focus of Halo Reach. We have the precedent of Master Chief being referred to and hailed as Sierra 117.

There really isn't any proof that the trailer depicts the Battle of Reach, that the planet in the trailer even is Reach, or that it's being attacked by the Covenant yet these are held as facts. To be frank the people staunchly denying that Sierra 259 = Spartan-259 does not at least have compelling supporting evidence are just being -blam!- because they think that Spartans numbered higher than 150 would create a canonical discontinuity (it wouldn't by the way).

is it possible that u never passed grade 1 it says HALO:REACH! the planet is reach ok it is were a armageddon happened and wiped out 149 of the spartans


Yes, However the book mentions many times that there was a second wave of Spartan III's (note III because I was discontinued due to insufficient funds and time and II is John's wave) being trained on another planet so it is very possible that the entire story will be based on these spartans and their adventures.
No. Spartan III's were meant for suicide missions.

Did anyone read the damn books?

Sierra 259 is probably a Pelican. Like in Halo: CE, Foehammer's Pelican's call sign was Echo 419. Echo being the phonetic term for "E".

You have an excellent point, somewhere is Halo 3, I swear you hear the name of a dropship, and it's not a Sierra.

Besides, in the Halo The Flood, there was a Victor 416 (Or similar number). It was Victor.

In short, the Sierra we hear is likely a dropship.

It doesn't have to be a spartan, but just a call sign. Phoenetic Alphabet
Der we go. I believe my Call sign would be Alpha Golf+a number. Alejandro Gonzalez. Not EXACTLY sure how it works, its probably a designation of their battalion or something. I'm rather ignorant of the way the phonetic alphabet is used in the military.

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

So you can make specualtion based solely on theory and I can't? Well actually yours is purely specualtion mine at least has an article behind it.

YANKEE OSCAR UNIFORM ROMEO ECHO - ALPHA NOVEMBER - INDIA DELTA INDIA OSCAR TANGO - SIERRA OSCAR - SIERRA TANGO FOXTROT UNIFORM!!!! -Me

They use the military letters because they stand for something stupid. Foxtrot or Tangos what does that usually stand for? Enemies. Sierra is S! Spartan starts with an S! SPARTAN 259! SIERRA 259! S 259! They would use S (hitting key very hard in anger) if saying SIERRA wasn't EASIER to discern between one thing and another it's like if you were playing BINGO and the person said, "B 17. I repeat B 17 as in BOY 17." IT MAKES FOR LESS MISTAKES!! It's not a freaking CODE unless they spell stuff out with it like YANKEE OSCAR UNIFORM ROMEO ECHO - ALPHA NOVEMBER - INDIA DELTA INDIA OSCAR TANGO - SIERRA OSCAR - SIERRA TANGO FOXTROT UNIFORM!!!!

You sir, a godamn MORON. Without a doubt you are a -blam!- retard. It's called intelligence to argue a point, you obviously lack that critical trait.
