Subject: Are they really Spartans in the banner? *New Theory*

Begun, the Flame Wars has.


Haha.

So, I like the theory. You supported it, and it's a reasonable idea. But personally, I'd rather play in a squad of six Spartans. I've had the ODST squad experience. Now I want Spartan squad experience that I've waited so long for.

Oh, the irony. Well, it isn't really ironic, because I'd expect that from a person who judges you by your RANK, and not by how you are...

The Squad had never met Dare before the events of ODST. They are Spartans.

  • 10.24.2009 8:37 AM PDT

Sure.

I can see 2 problems with this theory:
1) Mickey was definately not on Reach.
2) Dare only met the squad at the beginning of ODST.

Nice try though.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

This is not a *New Theory*. There have been countless threads about people thinking they are ODST's. They are Spartans. Bungie would not waste their last halo game on ODST's. In fact, Joe Staten CONFIRMED them to be Spartans in an interview with somebody. I forgot who. He said "it will be squad based, but not like you think. You will be fighting alongside other Spartans." That's paraphrased.

This is not the exact interview, but it still confirms that you will be Spartans.
Drop the ODST crap, please

Here is another interview where Joe Staten talks about Spartans:

Its been confirmed that we will control a spartan(s) in a squad of five spartans (unconfirmed if it is one for the entire game or multiple like ODST).

I see five people in the banner.

Would they put five secondary characters in a banner that is supposed to summarize the entire game?

  • 10.24.2009 9:05 AM PDT

Except for the fact that Joseph Staten already confirmed that SPARTAN II's will be the main focus of the game.

Also, Mickey, Romeo, and Dutch were not at Reach. And Dutch is not more then 7 feet tall, like the guy one the far left.

Are you really telling me that those figures look like ODST's to you. That huge one looks like Dutch to you? Honestly?!

Dude, Bungie isn't that stupid to make another game that didn't do well in the first place. Spartans are the croud pleasers, and Bungie had already stated that we will be playing as more than one Spartan (Spartan!) .

  • 10.24.2009 9:19 AM PDT

I'm not going to buy if they are. The reason Bungie chose Reach is because it's the most famous battle, when the multiple spartans were alive. It's their chance to include more then just MC as a spartan.

there spartans, bad theroy

Ok guys maybe I phrased it wrong...hmm...
It's a THEORY! I didn't say it was 100% correct, I didn't even say I believed it myself! I was just venting ideas and to get your minds to ask themselves questions! I like making people think about things and think "What if..." and entertain a few of you, even!
Just take things a little less seriously next time, some of you...jeez...

Next time you say that try to use correct Spelling and Punctuation- then I'll listen.

  • 10.24.2009 10:33 AM PDT

It's a pretty good theory, but (probably) wrong. You're telling me the guy on the far left looks like an ODST? Look at his helmet. You see those ridges? Those ridges aren't on the ODST helmet.

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.


I am going to go with the Spartan theory on this one.

  • 10.24.2009 11:23 AM PDT

one problem with the people on the banner being from odst, only buck was alive. none of the others were born i think. if they were they couldntve been older than their early teens.

It's a good theory, but Bungie has said that we will be playing as Spartans. It was in an episode for GTTV. Bungie said that with Reach they wanted to have a squad of Spartans, without the feeling of squad based combat.

  • 10.24.2009 11:31 AM PDT

Ok, I think the OP now knows that the soldiers in the banner are Spartans, so everyone can stop saying, "Z0mG! Those R t3h SPARTANZ!"

On another note, in the opening cinematic for ODST, Dare says something imlpying that Buck's new squad are all replacements for his old squad. This means that IF the people in the banner are ODSTs, they are not going to be the ones we learn about in Halo: ODST.

"When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is
composed of two characters--one represents danger,
and the other represents opportunity."
[JFK]

This is a terrible theory Bungie said multiple times we'll be playing as Spartans and all of the ODST's excluding buck weren't even on reach. Secondly all your basing this on is their weapon choice. And they dont even look like ODST's on top of that.

Maybe Buck led a squad of Spartans?
Sargeant Forge did it in Halo Wars, why can't Gunnery Sargeant Buck do the same?

The GTTV Interview says the story will have "More Spartans in it".

In no place did it say that the main characters were Spartans or that the Squad was a Squad of Spartans.

Killionaire

how could any of you possibly think that you would be anything less than spartans in reach? its reach, where the spartans were trained and created. besides you can see ARMOR on those characters in the banner. al of them have armor on. look at the bolded pics people post of that banner in a higher resolution, you can see each individual chunk of armor on their bodies. humand cant even wear MJOLNIR armor. it kills them. and seriously, anyone who thinks that guy on the far left (in the banner, its the far right, because they are obviously facing the camera) is totally a spartan. i personally think its sam from the book. but not evryone has that much common sense to realize that someone that looks that huge isnt a spartan.

  • 10.25.2009 8:13 AM PDT

Yes, really

Posted by: Jesse197



The one to the far left is possibly Romeo

i dont think its the squad from ODST. if you listen to the opening cutscene in ODST, Dare asks Buck if they are replacements. He responds "This many years into the war? Who isn't?"

so, Romeo, Dutch, and Mickey shouldnt have been on reach.

also, From what I can tell, the person on the left is one-handing a detached turret. i dont think an ODST could do that.

Cookie for originality though. good thought.
