Why is there an elite on the left with a chain gun? that is too big to be human even for a spartan?

It's a Spartan. Elites weren't allied with the humans at this time.

At least thats what i think anyway...

Yes he is right. Most people are sure it is a spartan because the legs are straight. And I am almost sure that the rest of the squad are the characters of ODST because in the final mission one of the ODSTs say "It is reach all over again" and they also say that they made it out of Reach.

And if i am wrong it is the dude above my post

You read the book?
Thats Sam, the tallest spartan and he's wearing bulky armor because he's the heavy waepons guy.

-spoiler-

Although he did die in the book before the fall of reach.

It's Sam. He's wearing Mark IV armor because that's what he died in. The rest are Spartans, not ODST's. Why would Bungie make a banner full of ODST's when it's been confirmed to be about Spartans?

They can't be the ODST squad because Mickey wouldn't be there and probably non of the others too but it would be cool to see buck in the game as like an invinsible ally like johnson in halo 2 and 3.

yeah megafish you have a point but why would they make a game that the books already cover cuz thats kinda dick to the fans cuz they already know what happens and like kinda ruins the game, i was kinda hoping that it would cover the whole fight of reach with a spartan group we haven't heard of yet or something like that, not what happens in the book after the planet is glassed

It look EXACTLY like MJLONIR armor, imagine the spartan slightly hunched looking up. anyway Spartans are normally at least 7 feet tall- elites are like 8 feet when upright. think about that.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I don't know, there are two of them that make me think of ODSTs rather than Spartans.

The one with the sniper rifle has a silouette that doesn't look like he/she is wearing Mark V armour. Also, the one that's second from the left looks like a woman. Based on the augmentations and tough training that Spartans go through, I doubt they'd be curvy like that.
