Nope.

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

Sierra was the term used to name a Spartan, i.e. the first level of Halo 3, called Sierra 117 , and on the fourth level, you hear Lord Hood say "And Sierra 117?" and Commander Keyes reply "He's doing the best he can, sir. I know he'll get it done." Sierra 259 and Sierra 320 (also heard in the teaser trailer" is probably referring to a group of untrained Spartans who were desperately sent into battle in hopes of being able to take back Reach.

so some of the spartans arnt even dead like some of johns firneds like kelly and fredaric are on the sheild world as it says on halopedia said to be MIA as some other spartans


The status of MIA was given to some of the Spartans, like Samuel, who actually did die, but were given the status MIA to keep up the saying, "Spartans never die," the motto given to inspire hope in people. And Kelly was also aboard the Pillar of Autumn with John, but her Cryo-chamber was launched into space, presumed KIA after the detonation of the Pillar of Autumn and the destruction of Halo

Sierra is used as code for Spartan. That we know and this dude has the proof. There were Spartans on Reach, so Sierra would not have been used as code for anything else because it would confuse everyone.

I personally think Sierra = Spartan.

As do I, but I am not 100% positive. Not sure who Sierra 259 would be. Gunna just waait and see. I like to speculate about weapons and stuff.

There's no such thing as an "Untrained Spartan" considering they were all selected and traned at birth. Yes Sierra 117 was John's code name, but Sierra is part of the Phonetic Alphabet, and can mean a multitude of things in the military. The likeliness that it's a Spartan is high, but chances are also equal that it's a dropship or a marine. Also it's Bungie, they're probably playing mind games and Sierra 259 might make no appearances in Halo:Reach.

I don't think Spirits will be on Reach.

I agree that the Spartans shown are the one's from the CHief's old squad. (Actually I was going to make a thread about this)

I reckon that the story will probably involve the Chief ending up at Reach and having flashbacks (like in ODST, like he might see an abandoned warehouse or something and flashback to what happened there) whils in the real-time story he's working on getting recovered which might include anyone still alive from his squad being sent to recover him as some of them survived.

I'm pretty sure that Jen Taylor (Cortana) and Nathan Fillion (Buck) will be in it as in Bungie's weekly update and Marty O'Donnell's Twitter, they both mentioned about him meeting and having dinner with them therefore suggesting that it will not only have a continuation of Halo 3 and flashbacks in it.

Maybe other characters from John's squad (the Chief) will be playable as Bungie mentioned that they had new characters to cast for.

Maybe the story will even contain parts about the Master Chief's past that are in Halo; Fall of Reach.

If they're recording voice actors, they must be pretty far into developement, as this usually takes place at the end of developement, so maybe Bungie have made a new engine for the game as they mentioned that 3's engine was nice to have been used again in ODST and to get more use out of it in a interview about ODST, or they'll be running of the Halo 3 engine.

Either way, as soon as I can, I'm pre-ordering it.

No, fail. This "guess" is old. John, Linda and Sam weren't even on Reach when it fell (which Staten has confirmed that the game will revolve around). Bungie isn't going to make a game about Fred and Kelly, or any other Spartan whose fate is already known, they wouldn't want to make a game and having to stricly follow a book. They will most likely revolve around team Beta, as there are 11 spartans there we never heard of, or how they died/fought etc. loollolololololo


There is never stated in any Halo book that Fred 104 is a "specialist" with the combat knife. it's just a rumour that arose because he was seen before the battle playing around with a knife. He's never even used a knife in battle.

Bungie will make the protagonists new characters, or Spartans that we don't know much about. They don't want to feel entierly restricted by First Strike. We already know exactly what Fred, Linda, Kelly and John did during the fall of Reach.

actually it is no rumour that fred was playing around with a knife,I read the book and when they were in the armory getting ready for a mission fred was "fiddling" around with a combat knife. =)

Signatures are for squares.

This thread pretty much fails, as everything here has been stated months ago.

im not certain but i'm pretty sure that the fleet that chased the pillar of autumn was fairly small so they only had spirits to use. i'm pretty sure bungie has said that phantoms were around at the time. it's kinda like the scarab from halo 2 which were "apparently" mining scarabs that regret was forced to use because he didn't have any battle scarabs.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Started reading and it was all going nice till you started speculating about the game being class based because there are 5 people on the banner. Then you killed me when you named each figure.

As privet caboose said also, everything here has been said ever since they anounced Halo Reach and they made the banner public.
