Ugh . . . please, PLEASE, do more research.

Spartan = Sierra. Sierra is a codename for Spartan's, so please atleast have the sense to know what you're talking about before you make a reply.

Legit.

Nope.

"Spartan" 259 was Sierra 259, which is more likely to be a dropship.

Not proved. They would have called them Sierra n other games if that is a hard and fast rule. Why don't you do more research?

Besides, Sierra is used for more than just Spartans, the military may even use it for a submarine. You have no solid proof.

Case closed.

No, fail. This "guess" is old. John, Linda and Sam weren't even on Reach when it fell
no they were just about to leave....you dont know when the time frame is in it so how can you say that MC and the others wont be in it?

Though he does have a point. Sierra has been used in code for Spartan, but that is not what Sierra always is code for.

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!

No, you do your research. Just because Sierra was used ONCE, EVER as a Spartan code name doesn't mean it applies for all of them.

And by the way, the Spartan III project was before the Fall of Reach not after.

This is Sierra-259. You've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere.
They are with all likelihood Spartans, and not class-II-'s either. As many people have said before me, there must have been at least thousands of childs that Halsey somehow got examined before cutting that down to 150 candidates with the ideal gene-pools etc.


It's stated that 300 were initial candidates but that was cut down to 150 and then again down to 75.

Guys, these are all ESTIMATED GUESSES as pointed out at the beginning of this thread.

So quit flaming.

It's possible, but not probable, even a combat team has a chance of being the mentioned Sierra in the trailer;
Halo CE
Pillar of Autumn
Cortana over loudspeakers:

"Combat teams Alpha through Sierra move to assist."


They have the same chance of being a Spartan as anything else.

Emphasis on the we. Due to the use, he may be hinting that he may have something to do with the Spartans (Dropship pilot, Marine commander), but not be a Spartan himself. Sierra may stand for a specific company, namely Charlie Company, found by the Spartans directly after drop.

Of course, I have not disproved the possibility of Spartans. They may still be Spartans, but I have stated that they may be otherwise.

The 300 candidates died, except for Tom and Lucy.

(I might be misunderstanding the conversation)

Yep, 300 candidates out of all the scanned childs had the right gene-pool and physical attributed to attend. The number was then finally cut down to 75 for budget reasons.

Almost exactly true, except for one slip up.
There were 300 genetic matches, the budget only allowed 150, but there was only space for 75. In the end, there were 32 Spartans.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

"I may not like what you say, but I will defend your right to the death to say it!"

"Tolerance is a virtue, and virtue builds character."
-Onyx81

perfecto!

except for onyx, i read the book. Onyx exploded, and all that was left was a tiny sphere that was like a foot in diameter, in wich some of the last spartans are trapped in.

Yeah, but still. I'm basically advertising what the mdeia believes. It could be Sangheilios?

Your post about Nathan Fillion bothers me.

In an interview he clearly stated that he and Marty were on their 3rd date and that he would love to be in Reach.

He just didn't say if he's in it or not.

Honor Light Your Way, Our Blood Shall Forge A Thousand Generations!.

It isn't guaranteed yet.

  • 10.03.2009 9:02 PM PDT

Hence me saying, "He just didn't say if he's in it or not."
