Ha what do you mean by this?

The Spartans that will be focused on are the ones we don't know anything about. They only named like 10-ish spartans in the books. There are many others who fates were left explored as the presumably died on the surface of Reach. But how exactly did they die? What type of terror did they feel when they watched the lasers fire from the sky, and the world burned around them?

Its much easier to create a new and original story by focusing on a bunch of unknowns than trying to work with characters that already have a distinct spot in the canon.

That IS what they have done in the past & in the books so I'm sure that what'll they do. have a Halo game where in the end you actually die/lose in so,e dramatic sad cutscene.

We do not know, probably not unless on the radio or in a cutscene. I'm pretty sure Bungie will focus on an unkown person or side of the story.

Yeah I suppose you're right, that sounds good. What is the story line even about?

No one knows yet. It may show the MC but who knows who the main charecter(s) are. Some of the guys in the pic look like ODSTs, some Marines & a Spartan.

  • 10.14.2009 3:27 PM PDT

Maybe it could be in the style of ODST where you get to play as different Spartans to see their fate.

Master Chief won't be the main character. He spent 15 minutes in space on a satellite destroying a navigational computer that had the coordinates to Earth to prevent it from falling into the Covenant's hands. He then returned to the pillar of autumn and they eventually ended up at Halo after their "random" jump by Cortana.

Read Halo: First Strike if you haven't already. It shows Master Chief going back to Reach and finding a group of Spartans trapped in a Mountain complex with Cortana's creator i forgot her name.

And do you seriously want to play a game in which you already know exactly what happens? It wouldn't even make much of a level. Kill a bunch of covenant while running, then the huge standoff as a cutscene, but it needs to be expanded to be an actual level, and to expand it would rewrite the canon of what happened in the books.

As I said before, Reach is going to focus on five unknown spartans. We may know two of their call signs, Spartan 320 and Spartan 259.

  • 10.14.2009 4:14 PM PDT

I am just saying that MC was on Reach longer than 15 minutes. No where in my post did i say that thats what i want the story to be or is most likely going to be.

  • 10.14.2009 4:20 PM PDT

MZH

But the main thing in the little bit we saw was when they said you know how it ends but see how it begun so they have a little wiiggle room but not much

I was always a fan of Will, because he never said much.

And... he punched a Hunter in the face.

Wasn't there 28 Spartans total at Reach and 25 if John, James and Linda aren't included?

Anyway, Red Team makes sense the most.

In the end of TFoR John looked around at 2 dozen other Spartans, making the total at Reach 25. When Red Team dropped in First Strike they had 27 members, 5 more than they should have had (3 of the Spartans remained in space to go on Gamma Station).

That's really insteresting. I really wonder where and how did those 5 Spartans suddenly came up at the time between the end of TFoR and beginning of First Strike.

I wonder how can there be 30 Spartans at Reach (when counting the 5 Spartans from FS) when only 33 survived the augmentation.

There has to be some sort of explonation from Bungie.

There is 2 explanations.

1. Red team from Halo Wars made it back for the fall of Reach, and were killed there. The information gathered from the game was kept secret by ONI.
2. They retconned it.

In any event, I'm so freaking sick of seeing, "SPARTAN 259" Because SIERRA=/=SPARTAN!

Fair enough but explain Sam and Grey Team + 30

Kurt, Randal, Sam, And Sheila were all missing from the battle of Reach.

Gray team was also missing. So that's 7 spartans.

Plus Blue Team, which was in space. So 3 more.

Include Red team from Halo wars, and you have 13.

We have a total of 13 Spartan II's who did not go groundside on Reach, (Save for Chief, but he came back later)

That's a large number, that means that more than 33 Spartan II's survived augmentation. Many of FoR's "facts" have been retconned.
