Are the people in the banner really Spartans- or something else?

I think there is a possibility that the people (or things) in the banner for Halo: Reach (above) aren't Spartans like many say they are. People have alot of proof to defend their opinions that they are Spartans and I respect that, but just give this idea a look over...

There is a possibility that the banner's inhabitants are ODSTs. Yep, that's right- ass kicking Orbital Drop Shock Troupers. Infact, it could be that they are all the ODSTs from the game Halo 3: ODST. Take a look at this picture.
Taken a look? Ok then.
The figure in the Middle (Obviously the leader) might be Buck. We know his weapon of choice is the AR, like the Chief.
The one to the far left is possibly Romeo- his weapon of choice being the Sniper.
The one to the far right may be either Mickey or Dutch- we know both of them are in favour of the heavier weapons.
The woman on Buck's right and Mickey/Dutch's left. It's most likely Dare- her weapon of choice the Pistol. You may think that the person I am talking about in the banner has no weapon, but if I take you back to this picture and look in the woman's right hand you will see that she is holding a pistol and that she is standing closest to Buck- indicating a relationship between the two of them like in Halo 3: ODST.
NOTE: I know definately that Dare and Buck were on Reach- in the level "Coastal Highway" on Halo 3: ODST, when the Covenant ship arrives to glass New Mombasa, Buck says "...It's just like Reach all over again!" and Dare replies "We made it out of there- we can make it out of here". This shows that in the Halo: Reach Trailer where it states "From the beginning...you know the end...", you know that Buck and Dare will make it out alive.
And as for the character with the knife next to Romeo, it's hard to tell. It could be a Male or Female, but this could be the new character that takes place of the Rooke in the squad.
However we do know for certain that the Rookie will not be making an appearance in this Prequel.

Thanks for your time in reading. Please comment- it shows I didn't right all this for nothing (which I didn't...it was your YOUR benefit!).
Thanks again, please consider my theory!

That is possibly the best original theory I have ever heard. And now that I think about, the helmets do look more ODST-y then Spartan-y. Of course they were using Mark-IV if I am not mistaken, and I haven't seen that in official halo games (That means Halo Wars is not included)

Edit: It is in fact Buck that uses the knife, but you have to remember, there might be a new original character to take the place of the Rookie.

Its a good theory, and it would be pretty cool to have. But correct me if I'm wrong bungie hinted/said that it was spartans or something on those lines. Not sure where it is though.

Also their armor compared to an ODST's armor is a lot more bulky. And I don't think Mickey or dutch is the size of the figure on the right.

It maybe a mix of Spartans and ODSTs but I do think so.

I think most people think that Bungie hinted at this with the trailer when it says something like "This is Sierra ###, we've got Spartans on the ground, and we're not going anywhere." Or something like that. (I can't remember the number of Sierra)

They do look alot like Spartans but they could be ODSTs. In my mind I'm about 50/50 with both theories but I guess we'll have to wait for a gameplay trailer or something until we know for sure ;).

When we first saw this banner, on multiple occasions, I had brought forward the idea, in multiple locations, that those dudes are not all Spartans.

And I was flamed. Time and time again.

Sierra 259 I Think, and that doesn't mean you'll play as Spartans- it just makes you believe that...you might be just fighting alongside Spartans.

Also, the fact that Halo: Reach "Drops" into stores could mean that the Chief makes an appearance after falling out his destroyed Frigate and landing on Reach, or he realises what's going on and decides to come to the rescue.

Don't flame me, and ODSTs WHERE on Reach. Read my OP and read the "Note" part inparticular, then come back to flame me.

  • 10.24.2009 7:14 AM PDT

dude.. they're not ODSTs, they're Spartans, but not just Spartans, they're the Spartans of the Blue Team, which includes the Master Chief

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

NO. One of them was not as tall as a Spartan, and DARE was not on the team until right before ODST begins.

Don't get me wrong I don't know whether we'll play as Spartans or ODST's and I'll be buying it regardless.

But I hope your not talking about the chief falling out of the frigate that he's in after the ending of Halo 3 because this is a prequel and I really don't think that Bungie is going to make Chief travel back in time.

Now the Chief could make an appearence at the end of Reach like he does in the books...that would be cool.

That's pretty mild. Wait till the big boys come in.

Begun, the Flame Wars has.

Why is it that the original thread always gets less views than the remake of it. I said this yesterday and got 3 replies and this gets like 11 replies!

What are the odds that Bungie would make us play as a -blam!- ODST for their very last Halo game. I know that 343 is taking over, bug BUNIGE won't do that to us.

It could go either way...The shadows do have that indent thing or canyon(Idk how to describe it), that the spartan helmets have...the odsts are round on the top of the helmet i think...

  • 10.24.2009 7:43 AM PDT

A well thought out theory but im still with the spartans. If u read the book first strike u can see many of the dialogue in the trailer were from spartans which backs up the theory that the games about them. When it said from the beginning u know the end its trying to say if u read the book or played the games u should know that reach was the unsc's greatest defeat and heaviest loss.

  • 10.24.2009 7:56 AM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Considering that Staten himself said that Reach features spartans, and that you're with a squad of spartans, It's likely that all of the people in the banner, are spartans.
